Promo and stuff.

Hey guys!,

For anyone out there who reads my blog, or has read it in the past, you know that it is basically like a journal. I write what I feel, what's going on and if I have any book related information to report. I try to keep my blog light and no stress so I don't write about religion or politics or anything like that.

So keeping in the light and no stress vein I just want to let you all know a few quick things.

1. My next story will be out by no later than June. I've not thought up a title for it yet. Usually I know what I'm going to call a story but sometimes the story tells me. By that I mean, the title I originally give it may not fit with the story at the end so I give it a new title.

Like Mended: Unbroken was orginally Mended: Unbreakable. But when I finished writing it (the first time) that title didn't really fit with the story. Kassie was breakable but she was never completely broken. So I changed the title a smidge.

2. I have a promo going on Kindle US and Kindle UK. Mended: Unbroken is $1.99 until Sunday here and ends on Tuesday, I believe, in the UK. But as you know, if you have Kindle Unlimited it's free to download.

Also, For Always is being promoted as well. After, I'm pricing it at 2.99. As I said, I like for people to be able to afford my books so I won't put a book in a high price range unless its a compilation of stories or a ton of pages.

3. Lastly, if you've read Mended: Unbroken and you have a little time, please post a review. Honestly, I use them not only in updates of my stories but also in stories I'm currently writing. That way I know what's cool and what isn't.

For example, in one of my stories a character says 'Oh my f***ing  God.' A few of my readers didn't really like that so I changed it. So every little bit helps believe it or not. I can steer clear of the things people don't like or find offensive and try to perfect the things that people like. So if you have the time please drop a review.


Well, I think that's all I wanted to say. I'm off for cookies and coffee. Hanging out with my mom always ends with cookies. Even now and I'm 34!

See ya around guys ♡♡!

New year, new fun!!!!!

Hey guys!!!!,
I am back!! Things have been insane over the year and change since my last post. Let's just say, you win some, you lose some.

I LEFT QUEENS!!!! I know right! Who would have ever figured I would leave Queens. I live in Maryland now, near the inner harbor and it's nice but it ain't home. I miss NYC so much but sometimes you just need a new start. To shake off the bad things and try for good ones.

I am thisclose to finishing my bachelor's degree in IT. I can not wait!!!!!! I've loved computers since the day I turned on my first Apple back in 2nd grade, when they still had floppy disks and not those cool colorful ones. I mean the black ones with the circle in the middle. (Yes I aged myself, it was 1989.) I'm so close to done after taking off time, I can just taste graduation.

Over the year and few months since my last post, I've written 3 books.

A New Love;

Mended: Unbroken;

As you know ALL of my books are priced low. I won't ever go higher that 5.99 on an ebook unless it's a compilation of stories like the supernatural book I'm writing. It's going to be 3 stories that are supernatural romances. I'll probably have that out by the beginning of 2018, God willing. But I like having my books at a price that everyone can afford. Kindle Unlimited doesn't allow writers to go lower than 2.99 so that's where my books are priced.

I also have For Always in paperback. But I'm a little cringey on that one. The price is huge, 9.99, and I never wanted to charge that much on a book. I tried to put it at 6.99 but according to the calculator on Kindle I would have ended up owing money (about 3 cents per book) which is stupid business wise. If I do Mended: Unbroken in paperback, I may have to split it in two in order to keep the price down. It's 400 pages, that's like 15 dollars to publish and I won't do that if I can help it.

To top off this post, 70 pounds down!!!!! I think I've mentioned my struggle with hypothyroidism. Well, for a long time I had no clue I had it but my weight would rise and rise no matter how much I worked out. Yoga, walking, salsa dancing, spin classes, starving myself (well kinda, 2 weeks of nothing but bean soups and salads every day) boot camps; it didn't matter, I kept gaining. I went to the doctor and she was like, let me give you a test. My numbers were bad and she started me on synthyroid like right away. It was like I started feeling so much better by the next day. Then a few months later they found nodules on my thyroid so I have to keep an eye on them and make sure nothing cancerous grows.

So two years (and 70 pounds!!) later, I'm in a great place. It's like I'm recharged and super energized. I don't think I've been this hyper since I was a sprout.

I'm just ready to see what this next year brings and will try to post a few times over the year, maybe not every day or week but a few times over the year to let you guys know what's what.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Enjoy your day and stay warm!
See ya around ♡♡!
