Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out in a few days! As Kaylee checks out her new high school with Vane & Heath, she runs into an unexpected snag.

~ ~ ~

"Yo! Kaylee!" yelled Spencer Daily, the guy I dated before Kyle. He looked at the two guys flanking me and frowned, standing up. "Who are these two?" At six feet tall, Spencer had wide shoulders and a linebacker build to make him a rather imposing figure. At least I used to think so. But when Heath and Vane stepped forward and partially in front of me, their combined visage made for an even more impressive image. Both were six feet two inches and while they had more of a swimmer's build, together they were much larger than Spence. Unfortunately Spencer was not only stupid, he was also backed up by his football buddies.

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. Kaylee's all ready for her afternoon with Heath. Or so she thinks.

~ ~ ~

Walking up to the door, I took a couple deep breaths before opening it, wanting to have a definite glare on my face. That faltered as I took in a face that looked similar to Heath's and yet wasn't. It had the same pale skin and soft pink lips, but instead of blonde hair, his was bright red and instead of dark gray eyes, his were blue. "I'm confused," I said, staring into the bright blue eyes in front of me.

Adding to my confusion the face smiled, a really nice non-smirky smile. "You must be Kaylee. I'm Vane. Heath's twin. Shall we go?"

Eureka! #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. (Just 18 days!) This snippet is a few paragraphs after last week's post.

~ ~ ~

My closet was now a total mess, but after three hours, I finally settled on the perfect outfit to wear around the jerk known as Heath. Who names their child Heath anyway? Was his mother eating a candy bar when he was born and thought, I can't think of anything else, might as well name him the first word I see, and then she looked down and saw the wrapper. Eureka! Good thing she wasn’t eating a bag of Zours. Or Skittles. Or… a Big Hunk. Giggling at the possibilities, I blanked out for a little while as I imagined all of the candy derivatives he could have been called. 

~ ~ ~

I forgot to sign up for last week, though I did do a post, when Kaylee met Heath for the first time.

Hollywood moment #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. Yay! You've gotten to know Kaylee's sense of humor. How about a jump ahead to her first impression of Heath?

~ ~ ~

My eyes fastened on Heath and the world stopped for a moment. Have you ever had one of those times when you meet someone and it's like a Hollywood moment? This was one of those moments, only not in a good way. Heath scared the living daylights out of me. Tall with pasty white skin and blonde hair the color of his mother's, he had pale pink lips that were formed in a smirk. But it was his eyes that bothered me. Dark gray, they were so dark they were practically black. Obviously I’d read far too many vampire and werewolf books because I briefly considered the possibility I could transport me and mom somewhere safe before he decided to attack.

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. This takes off directly from my last 8Sunday post.

~ ~ ~

Wait. Where was I?

Oh, right. Princess blanket. Ugh.

Bringing to mind a purple satin blanket with a golden dragon, I focused my mind – well, I tried – and five minutes later when I opened my eyes, I groaned as I spotted a pink and purple blanket with a princess being ripped apart by a dragon. Not quite what I was going for. But then, transporting myself here to there was much easier than actually doing something to an object.

Unfortunately, she must have decided while I was away at camp to turn my room into a princess paradise. Glaring at the offensive pink and white blanket, I took a moment to calm myself while closing my eyes. One thing I learned at camp was not to try and change things while angry. The consequences could be disastrous. Just ask my camp counselor. Err, never mind. Don't ask her. You wouldn't believe it anyway.

Another snippet from Tryad for #8sunday #YA #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello, Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm excited to be back with you today with another snippet from Tryad. This picks up from where my previous 8 left off.

* * *

Amused, I barely kept the smirk off my face as I turned and walked back into the house. Once I was pretty sure I was out of sight, I imagined myself in my bedroom and was there. So much easier than walking up three flights of stairs. Mom seemed to think I could levitate, which was kind of funny, when in fact, I could actually transport myself from one place to another using nothing more than the energy that surrounded me. Humming to myself, I went to lay down when I saw what blanket was on my bed. The growl that ripped through my throat might not be scary, but it was real enough to me. Mom had been lamenting that her little girl was growing up. At the age of sixteen, I would certainly hope so.

Contract with Limitless Publishing

I am very excited to announce that I have signed a contract with Limitless Publishing for at least three books in my young adult Tryad series. I just signed a week ago, so I won't have a release date for book 1 for probably some time. But when I do, I'll let you know. I am very excited for this story and I think it fits well with Limitless Publishing.

A little snippet for #8sunday #metaphysics #romance @ya

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

This is from the very beginning of a young adult metaphysical romance titled Tryad

~~~~~

"Kaylee Marin Stephens! Get down from there!" my mother hissed, standing in that pose mothers the world over had perfected. Feet spread more than shoulder-width apart, partially bent forward, with her hands on her abundant hips, Mom looked more like a general berating her troops than a mother trying to get her daughter down from the roof. 

With a loud sigh, I closed my eyes and imagined myself standing in front of her. The moment my toes sunk into the grass, she hissed again. "Go to your room. When your father comes home, I'm going to send him up to deal with you. Just because they taught you that you could do anything does not mean you should levitate anywhere you please."

Summer of Change is coming to a close

The Summer of Change is coming to a close. Only a few more lessons left. I hope you have been able to pick up a few things that have helped you along the way. Some people have asked me to make this available as one document so they don't have to keep going back and forth through my This Thought Counts blog for the posts.

So, I have put every lesson, including the extras into a book for you. It has all the lessons and my final words. I hope you can return to it again and again and gain everything you need to make the most amazing life ever.

It's a rumpus room

Yeah. I haven't updated lately. I'm so busy with working 20+hour days lately that I haven't had the time. But I thought I'd give you an update on JulNoWriMo.

With my busybee'ness, I got in 74,032 words, just about half what I was planning on. Just about a quarter from my ultimate goal. But, July was just as busy as August, so at least I got something written :)

I've got two of my YA stories in the submission stage. Which essentially means, send to publishers/agents and then try to forget about it while you do other things.

I hate that part :)

Anyway, I'm still writing and working and getting over an infection, but if you haven't kept up with it, the Summer of Change is still going on. Lesson 23 posted a couple days ago. Some great lessons to help you make a better life for yourself.

Chugging along

I've been so busy with Summer of Change that I haven't done much here for awhile. But I'm still chugging! Have almost 70k written for JulNoWriMo. Just submitted a new manuscript to a new publisher. Have another one I'm doing final updates on before I submit it.

Life's good. No...life's great!

Today is June 1...so what does that mean?

What does the fact of today being June 1st have to do with anything? Well, let me tell you.

In 30 days, JulNoWriMo starts. Two years ago I did my first JulNoWriMo, barely made 50,000 words and practically collapsed when it was over. Since then, I've been writing a LOT more. Last year I went for 50k and ended up with 210k. In March I went for 100k in MarNoWriMo and ended up with 226k.

So now I knuckle down over the next month, getting the little things done in preparation for the month I won't be around. Because I'll be writing, writing, writing, writing, writing...

This July I've set my goal for 150k. Yes, I do set relatively conservative goals considering past precedent, but I have more than just writing going on this summer. Some major changes in my life that are more important than writing. (Can you believe I actually said that?)

I can't promise to update my status bar daily, but I do update my excel spreadsheet daily and when I come online will update my numbers.

Happy writing!

My hint? Have a month's supply of Pepsi on hand ;)

What if he didn't have a ...? #8sunday #paranormal #humor #romance

Greeting, Weekend Writing Warriors!

Ari is finally getting a hold on the fact that there are other worlds and she's fallen for a man who is, in essence, an alien. As she thinks about Terrian, a horrifying thought hits her. Of course, Mayir, her trainer hears her no matter where she is. It's hard not having any privacy.

* * * * *

What if the rest of him wasn’t like other human males? If he didn’t have a…

Moaning at that horrible thought, she turned over and glared at the wall. “Seriously,” she grumbled aloud to herself. “There is an evil demon who wants me to be his and is coming after me, and the thing I am worried about is if Terrian has all the right equipment?” Before she could continue her little rant, laughter filled her head. “Stop listening to me!”

“I would,” Mayir responded, “but you are extremely refreshing, Arwen. I have never met anyone quite like you.”

Book Description:

Your Dimension Or Mine?
Dating Service Series

When Ari Reynolds signed up for an online dating service, she only did it to get her sister off her back about her dateless life. She never expected to be contacted by men from other dimensions or have a demon claim ownership of her through a magical DNA contract. Now that her eyes are open, she is catapulted to Dimension Zeta. There, a powerful Fae named Mayir trains her to defend herself against the mysterious Orion.

Even more confusing, she finds herself falling for Terrian, a man from an entirely different dimension. Terrian promises to help defend her, but when Orion steals something of great importance to her, she must stand alone against him. Can a mere human fight off the magical control of an immortal being who wants her more than anything?

Imagine. Feel. Understand. Let it go. Oops. #8sunday #paranormal #humor #romance

Greeting, Weekend Writing Warriors!

Arwen has been taught the steps to making things happen and being pitted against one of Mayir's guards and tired of him winning, she focuses to make it work this time.

* * * * *

Imagine: She saw the goon as a fly and in her hand was a fly swatter.

Feel: She felt the joy as her hand swung the swatter and squished him against the wall.

Understand: She knew that the end result, squashed fly, was all that mattered, the rest was up to the universe.

Let it go: Mentally, she let control go and thanked the universe for making the end result happen.

And then she opened her eyes.

His brown eyes stared into hers with an amused expression. Looking at her hand, she was embarrassed to see it holding a fly swatter and it was resting against the back of his head.

“You thought you could hit me with that? What is it supposed to do?” he asked before bursting into laughter.

* * * * *

Better luck next time, Ari!

Scheduling a Permalink in Blogger

I have noticed when authors and even bloggers go to join blog hops there seems to be a large issue with links being incorrect when all is said and done. I don't know quite why that is, excepting maybe someone creates their permalink and yet the post isn't supposed to go live until the next month...at which point there is an extra step one must take when scheduling their post to be sure they get the correct URL to post into the bloghop.

(You should NEVER just use the main URL of your blog. People don't necessarily visit exactly that day and could become annoyed if they visit two days later and cannot find the specific post that went with that particular bloghop.)

So, here is a quick and easy lesson on how to schedule your post so that the link is correct in blogger:

1. Start a new post.

2. Type in your Post Title

Your Dimension or Mine? is now in worldwide release!

Announcing upcoming book!

Okay I am both excited and nervous to announce I am releasing a book of poems I have written. You know, sending out fiction is by far easier than sending out poetry as each poem feels like a piece of my soul.

But, I really want to share these. For those that don't know, I have been on a metaphysical journey for seven or eight years now. Some of it has been documented over on This Thought Counts. Lately I have been working through the teachings of Neville Goddard and Florence Scovel Shinn. They make so much sense to me and I have literally been able to watch my life change into my dreams.

All of the poems in this book were written after I began studying Neville and for those who are familiar with his teachings, they should ring a few bells. But even if you haven't read him, I hope they will give you hope, make you smile, laugh, cry, and feel excited to move forward with whatever your dreams are.

Coming Soon! Now Available!

Dreams In Hand
a book of metaphysical poetry
A journey through the soul and back

Poems included:
Dreams
Reality
Call It A Huncheses
Imagination
The Law
The Humorlot
Front And Center
Light The Fire
Rejoice
Thoughts Become Things
By Night, By Day

Magic is simple #8sunday

Hello, fellow Weekend Writing Warriors!

This week, I'm giving you another snippet from my new novel, Your Dimension Or Mine?

I'm actually continuing right from last week's snippet where Mayir demanded Ari make grass grow without telling her how. (Some punctuation changes were made to work within the 8 sentence rule.)

* * * * * *

“You have got to be kidding me!” she spat. “I know Abigail muttered nonsense words to get us here. Surely there are—”

“Enough wasting time,” he said in a firm voice. “Magic is simple, Arwen Reynolds. Think it, believe it, understand, let it happen, that is all you need. Now, I am busy. Do not bother me.”
