Hey guys,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I finished All the Delicious Things-Part 2 and it is now available on Smashwords.com. I was really excited and surprised by the reception story one received and so many people asked for a part two, I just had to write it. Hopefully it lives up to book one. So please feel free to give me as much feedback as possible, if you liked it or thought it didn't live up to book one let me know. You can write me here or tweet me at MarieRockedit31. Yes, I finally got a twitter account. So follow me if you have one too. I'll send out updates when I'm about to publish another story or tweet just when I have something to say.
Not to forget that Tessa's Escape is being republished very, very soon. I'm editing it right now and will hopefully have it out by the middle of next month. I'm trying to figure out if I should switch the title back to the original title, Runaway, or leave it as Tessa's Escape. I'm leaning more toward the original title. I changed it to Tessa's Escape in the first place because after I published it the first time I went to find the page, so I typed in Runaway and found like seven stories with the same title. But Runaway fits so much better than Tessa's Escape because Tessa and Kyle actually are on the run.
Also I've started a story called Mended and I'm so excited about it. It's the first story I've written in a long time that just flows easily and it's so unique. I'm releasing it on Amazon because honestly Amazon was the first site I signed up for but when I found Smashwords I kind of left them in the dust. Mended is like The Bloody Woman and Her Protector in that they were easy to write also, they kind of just flowed. I wrote Her Protector in three months, it was that fluid. Carlie was a little harder because I'm like Carlie in a ton of ways.
The other day I found a few stories in an old notebook that I'm thinking of publishing. One of them was really good, I don't know why I stopped writing it. I have boxes and usb drives full of stories I've written over the years that I'm going through. Some of them are complete and some of them I stopped before finishing. I have to figure out which ones I'm refining and which ones I'm chucking. But I will always update you guys on what I'm planning to do because I like for my fans to be informed of what I'm doing next.
Well I'm going to head out into the elements so I'm going to sign off. It is SOOOOOO cold outside today. I'm not even out there yet but it looks freezing cold. I'll talk to you guys later. Stay warm and safe!!!
BTW,
RIP to Pete Seeger. You were really an inspiration. Like I said on Twitter, if only everyone could share your ideals and message.

Happy New Year!!!
Hey everyone,
I hope you had a peaceful, quiet holiday, I did too. There is something so relaxing about spending time with your family. I had fun just talking and cooking with my mom, sister and niece. It's funny, when you're a kid Christmas is all about the excitement of opening gifts but when you get older that fades. Now it's about family and togetherness, I mean the gifts are still really nice too but I enjoy the company a lot more.
So I basically stayed inside last night shockingly. I was going to go watch the ball drop but it was absolutely icy, I stayed home, ate popcorn and watched it on television. I must say I will miss Christmas but I'm looking forward to Valentine's day. Who knows, maybe I'll find a guy who is worth the Valentine this year.
I recently republished Her Protector and The Bloody Woman on Smashwords.com. I took them off because I found some editing problems when I was rereading them. I always try to reread my stories before I publish them but sometimes there are things I miss. My sister said she finds that problem with a lot of the independent books she reads but I told her when you write independently you're the author, the editor and the publisher. No one sets out to write an error filled story it's just the way it is so independent writers have to reread their stories at least three or four times. I don't mind proofreading my stories though because I get to relive them word for word. It's always fun, in my book, to take things out and add new pieces. I love doing that, proof reading somethings open up new possibilities and directions for your story.
Also, I've been thinking of joining Twitter. I was apprehensive because I hear such terrible things about Twitter all the time. My niece has a Twitter page and she said she hates it, she rarely gets on it. But I think you only hate something when you invite people who are not much fun to join you. Like I have this blog and my FB page. On my FB page I write when I publish a book and some of my favorite things to do. My blog I treat as a journal, I invite people to comment if they want but really enjoy, more than anything, the fact that people read it. I don't know, I'm still thinking about the Twitter thing. When I decide I'll post back and let ya know.
Well I'm going to go but before I do I want to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! Hopefully this upcoming year is full of conquests and all the happiness and joy you can stand.
