Defending Mercy and other POV

30 Jul

Hey everyone. So here is the other POV for those shipping (cheering) for the other guy. If you’ve read AOM then you know this was not easy to write. Brings up bad memories for me. Still, this one goes out to Michele. I hope this brightens her day along with yours.

I have to admit he’s one of my favorite guys in the series. The others being Flynn, Sebastian and Paul. LOL. I’ve been thinking a lot about the next book in this series. My head should really be with Ethan, Keller or Kalen. (Did you see Keller from Alliance in the AOM?) The stories run concurrently and will eventually meet. But you don’t have to read both series to enjoy.

But I spent the morning writing the next book in my head. I have typed a few chapters. The heart knows what it wants to write. And I firmly believe one shouldn’t fight it. Otherwise, you just might write crap.

I know a lot of you aren’t happy with Mercy or you’re not happy with me. AOM was probably the hardest I’ve had to write for many reasons. I spent a lot of time with Lindsey Stirling and her self titled album on repeat while drawing all the emotions to write this one. Crystallize, Song of the Caged Bird, Transcendence and Shadows to name a few. In fact, I have Shadows (probably the most upbeat of the four songs) on now while I write this blog post.

Those of you not happy with Mercy, just remember, she was sixteen when this story began and had not ever had a relationship before. She’s going to make a lot of mistakes along the way that many of you who’ve lived a little longer, seen more, or had a relationship before might not understand. Be patient with us as we take you on this journey.

For of you that aren’t happy with me by the turn of events. I ask for further patience. Everything happens for a reason.

Thanks for the music you guys are the tweeting me. I love Booknut’s recommendation of Fear the Fever by Digital Daggers. I have no doubt this will be on my playlist for the next book in the Cambion series. I also love the lyrics to “No Mercy” by Sick Puppies recommended by Rachel (i still haven’t been able to find it to listen to yet). Thanks guys. Oh, and thanks Michele and the others who contributed tot he Soundtrack thread on Goodreads group.

That’s all for now. Later until next time, lol. ❤

First AOM Bonus POV

25 Jul

You guys are the best. And thanks to Sonya, I’ve written my first POV of AOM. This POV is probably one of the biggest scenes in the story, but who am I not to give the readers what they want. Be kind, this POV is not edited. But it’s free. 🙂

If you haven’t yet read AOM, don’t read this POV. It’s a big spoiler and ruin some of the fun of stumbling upon it in the story. Priya tells me this scene (at least the crux of it) shows up at 66.6% on the kindle version. I have to wonder just how fitting that really is.

I’ll have another POV in the next day or two from another of our favorite characters. So if you’re not shipping for this guy, have no fear, another POV is near. LOL.

Also, I wanted to thank everyone for their soundtrack choices. I love all kinds of music and have added to my library with your selections.

For this scene, I listened (on repeat) to EVANESCENCE ~ Bring me to life. I know it’s an olde but goodie. But if you read the lyrics, it just seems so fitting for this guy and this scene

.Flynn - character1

Here it is.

Thanks and thanks again

13 Jul

I have the best readers ever. You guys are the BEST. It’s always unnerving when a new book is released. You wonder how everyone will take it. I was especially nervous considering all the events but you guys have really blown me way with your reviews. I thank you all double. I appreciate all of you who have taken time to post reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. (If you love an author, you should do it. Post a couple line review on seller’s sites. It means more than you can imagine.)

And I plan to post a POV from AOM very soon. So be on the lookout.

For now, I’ve posted another chapter of the Sebastian story. Sorry it took me so long, but I’d been working on AOM.

Thanks again for all your support. And here is the link. (Chapter 7)

AOM Release Day

03 Jul

You all have been extremely patient and I wanted to let you know that AOM is in the hands of Amazon and Barnes & Noble for release. Don’t blame them that it’s not up yet. Blame me. It’s late and it has to cycle through their systems. But have no fear, it should be up hopefully in a matter of hours. I will try and post the links once they are up.

But being that I’ve spent this last week eating and drinking AOM, I must give my family some time. I passed up a vacation with my husband because I was going through the copy editors notes. And it took a whole lot longer than I expected.

ARCs should have gone out. If you didn’t get yours, let me know. E-mail me, contact me on Goodreads, or through my website, twitter or facebook.

I have a bonus chapter for AOM that I’ll post soon. Plus, I haven’t yet posted the new chapter of Sebastian which I will also do.

I’m listening to Through the Lens now. That audio book will hopefully be released soon. The publisher of Beg For Mercy audio book had some delays on her end. What is it with this series that has delays? lol. Anyway, hopefully that will be out later this month or early next.

I will leave you with this picture that reminds me of Luke. He kind of looks angelic to me. (maybe it’s late, lol)

Luke

Thanks again for being AWESOME fans of the Cambions series. Love you guys. You make it worth all the hard work.
