Update

I know many of you watch for updates. Lots of times I don't have one. I'm just writing. I never really know when a book will be ready. I don't know how those that have release dates know. At least indie writers. I write, rewrite, wait a month, read it, edit, read it again, edit some more, then send it to a couple of people. If they're happy with it, it goes to my editor. Then I have to make those edits and if I'm not sure about how I did, I send it back to her. Whenever she's done, I send it to my formatter. So the end of publishing a book isn't even something I control.

But I know you. I know you want to know what's happening in my little world. So, here are my updates:

Beyond Earth Series: Book Two - Working on 2nd draft. Up to 77k words. I really hope to have it ready to go to an editor this spring.

Between Worlds: Book SIX - Started a scene or two, haven't gotten far. I really want to, but I need to wrap up the Beyond Earth series first. This goes for the Spinoff of Lena's story as well. Not sure which will come out first. The spinoff or #5. We'll see.

Falling for Fire - I plan on this being a series. I love Aurora and Sorin. So this will be a series someday.

Same for Touch of Death. Definitely a series. Just not enough time to do them all.

Which leaves me with The Gifted Teens. There is a book four. I have written some on it. It takes place a couple years after the third book. I'm definitely not done with Daxton and Kassia, Mira and Zane, or Auralee and Noe.

As far as my other books, they're all basically standalones. I could make Secret Bloodline into a series, but not sure I will. The others have had their story told. Although when I do pay someone to edit Lost and Found, it will be getting a little bit of a makeover.

I do have many other ideas. Some medical ones like a teen diabetic, another about a teen who cuts, and an aliens on Earth (series??).

That's about it. I wish my fingers would type faster. I wish I had more time in the day to write. I wish I had more money to get things done faster. And sometimes life just gets in the way. I thought I would have the 2nd Beyond Earth series book out last year, but I took 2 college classes and was NOT prepared for the amount of work they took. Then I had health issues which are not over yet. Plus teaching the kids, being a wife and mother, and all that comes with it.

I can only promise that I will write until I can't anymore (and the way I love writing means I'll be dead for that to happen). It might take time for the sequels and new books to come out, but they will.

Thank you, fans, for your love and loyalty. I love hearing from you!!!!

Rylie's Voice

For those of you curious as to what I think Rylie’s voice sounds like, here are a bunch of videos of Clare Bowen (Scarlet on Nashville). Kind of looks like Rylie too.

UPDATE: Unexpected Promise

I know. I said book five would be out around December/January, and I tried REALLY hard to keep that deadline, but Rylie and Sierra deserved more. So, I wrote and wrote, until I was satisfied, until the characters were happy with what I wrote. I know all too well when characters aren't happy with me, they run around in my head demanding attention and I have other things to do.

The book is longer than the others and I do hope that you all will like it. I don't know if this is "the end" for these characters. I have a few ideas for spin-offs, but I have some other characters that are nagging for me to write about them.

Unexpected Promise (Between Worlds: Book Five) has been uploaded. As soon as it goes live, I will post links, send out an email to those of you on my mailing list, and spread the word on social media. It would help me a lot for you all to do the same and if anyone could leave me an honest review, please do it!

Thank you for sticking with me through this series. For loving Rylie, Kallan, Sierra, and Drake. For pushing me to write more.

Cover and Title Reveal

Between Worlds - Book Five Cover and Title Reveal

Unexpected Promise will be book five in the Between Worlds series. This book is written in both Rylie and Sierra's POV. It's about 90% finished. I'm hoping to finish by the end of January and then it needs to go to the editor and formatter. I know many of you are anxious for this book. Hold on a little longer, it IS coming!!

The Between Worlds Series Fun

I get messages almost daily about The Between Worlds series and I wanted to answer some questions and share some links.

I am currently writing the fifth book in the series. I’d say it’s about half way done. So when does that mean it’ll be released? Well, if I can get a little writing done every day, then I hope to have it written by January 2016. Then it just needs to be edited and formatted, which can take 1-2 months. Now if the holidays get in the way, it could take me a little longer.

Whose point of view will book #5 be in? Both Rylie and Sierra's.

Will this be the last book? I’m not sure. It’s the last book I have planned right now. But I have to admit, I LOVE these characters and I can’t see never writing for them again. So it is very possible there will be more or maybe spinoffs. I’m just not sure yet.

Want a free copy? Keep an eye here in a couple months. I always offer a free eBook in exchange for an honest review.

I do also have a Pinterest board for the series. I have a few pictures of the girls on the covers, a couple other characters, some celebrities that I'd love to play the characters if it was ever made into a movie. Pictures of the faery realm or things from the books. Check them out. Here are a few examples of what you'll find there:

The Aurorian Temple

Kallan and Rylie's House

The manticore that attacks Sierra
