Broken Lens had a face lift.
This book will be told from a different POV but furthering the story. I won’t say for those who haven’t yet Through the Lens yet. Please NOTE this is NOT a retelling of Through the Lens (TTL). This book moves forward from TTL which is Young Adult, to this book, which is New Adult where the characters are set in college.
The blurb is up on Goodreads. Enjoy.
Also the blurb for Liabilities is also posted on Goodreads. I forgot to mention that in the earlier post.
Hey guys, I know I’ve been bad at posting POVs and other stuff. I’m so focused on all the projects that I’m working on. I’m bursting at the seems to tell you guys some of the things going on, but I’m relegated to silence for now.
I’m close on finishing Liabilities. I’ve been getting lots of questions about that book lately. I’m feeling good about this releasing on time or close to it.
I’ll have a giveaway with the release of Liabilities, second book in the Balance Sheet series. It’s going to be a different giveaway than I’ve done in the past. I’ll be releasing details soon. For those interested in doing blog post on Assets and getting an ARC for Liabilities, I’ll be posting a sign up sheet soon. Remember, this book isn’t YA and includes adult material.
The boys are also on my mind. The boys being Luke, Flynn, Sebastian and Paul. An exclusive POV is coming soon. I really need to get on top of that. 🙂
You guys are the best. Thanks for all the shout outs on Facebook and Twitter, it’s much appreciated. The best advertisement is word of mouth from faithful readers like yourself. You are the glue that keeps me writing. Thanks for everything.
As I continue to battle with ePiracy, I came across a site this morning that although is giving my book away for free had interesting words to say about me. Not sure if these same words are used for other authors whose books are being pirated but I thought it was interesting.
Here is what they said…
The author Shannon Dermott is famous for his unique style of narration. Best books of Shannon Dermott are read throughout the world. One person considers authors style as difficult, heavy to read and even mysterious, but the others think that some books are really light, amusing and lively. Shannon Dermott works explore the distinction between literature and literary commentator. The eBooks are written with the desire to stimulate readers emotions, and readers read to experience an affective charge. These best books are recommended to read by critics.
The literature is that magic key that opens the door of cognition of many spheres of human knowledge. It helps us to learn some interesting facts about t history, to know more about peoples life in another, and ebook of Shannon Dermott help us. Sometimes, while reading a ebook, we can analyze the actions of its characters and it helps us to draw some certain conclusion.
Shannon Dermott ebooks seem to be interesting for many people, because they introduce such a variety of topics and problems, which the writers did not refer to before. Many of the literary movements of the time the author lived in involve not only him, so the literature at the beginning of the century is considered unique throughout the world.
The Shannon Dermott is probably one of the most famous and most loved writers. The major themes of creation are nature, love, death and eternity, though she frequently uses humor, puns, irony and satire in her poetry. Ebooks are learnt and recited by many pupils and student.
Now we can suppose that that century literature consisted of various movements, reflecting beliefs and hopes at that time. Readers have studied them in more detail and demonstrated that the themes the writers and poets referred to are also important for a nowadays person.
BREAKING NEWS…. lol
Through The Lens, produced by Brick Shop Audio Books, is now available for sale on audible.com. It will be available through Amazon and iTunes within the next few days. Narrating the book is Erin Mallon. If you are an audio book listener, she also narrated the books Sweet Evil and Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins. Here is the link.

If you haven’t read Through the Lens, it’s a young adult contemporary romance about a girl who used to be overweight. She finds herself falling for the wrong guy and ends up with a murder at her throat. Okay, that’s probably not the best description. Here is the blurb from the book, lol.
Blurb:
Being a twin isn’t all that bad, nor is it all that good. Being the fat twin makes things a little worse. Seventeen year old, Jessa Shelby has been all but ignored. Trimmed down, but not skinny like her sister, she has decided to make her mark in her final year in high school. Things begin anew the summer before her senior year when she makes friends with Ethan Hart, a boy with a twisted past, and Allie, his near celebrity status girlfriend, while taking pictures with her new prized possession. Hanging out with them opened her eyes to a lot of new possibilities including Josh Macon, whom she’s secretly crushed on all through high school.
No longer the ‘fat girl’, Josh now seems interested in her too. Long before the day comes to graduate, Jessa finds herself gasping for air. With her vision clouded from tears born of pain as the straps from her precious camera tighten around her throat, clarity sets in. They say that just before you die your life flashes before your eyes. And on the threshold of death claiming her, she finds that partially true. Her flash begins as if to explain just how she ended up on Death’s door. With mere moments left, she has to wonder if trust had come at a very high price.
This book is a two parter. The second part will be released this year. It will be considered New Adult and not YA, like the first book. Just an FYI.
Check it out if you haven’t. The link to buy the paperback or kindle version is
Again, the next book Broken Lens will be released later this year. 🙂
I hope everyone summer is going or went well. Mine has been busy, busy. Updates, writing is going slowly. I hope once school resumes, I’ll have more time to devote to writing.
Through the Lens, the audio book which is currently in the final stages of production, should be released fairly soon. Beg for Mercy, audio book, on the other hand has reached some stumbling blocks. Not sure how long the delay will be there. The producer of that book has had some set backs.
My VERY adult romance book received a cover update.
Pretty sexy huh? Hopefully, it will convey just how smexy the book really is, lol. 😉
But the real reason why I’m posting today is to release another POV from AOM. This one is dedicated to Suzanne. It is the prequel to AOM. Have you read the book and wondered what happened during those two weeks between WFM & AOM? Well, here is your answer. The POV ran longer than I intended, but what don’t I do for the fans of the Cambion series.
Click here. Enjoy.

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.
Here is the link to the POV

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. ❤

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)

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

Who wants an ARC of AOM?
Can you believe it, AOM is almost here. And I’m really excited to get this story out to you. I’m looking for partners to help get the word out on this series. Some of you have been really faithful in posting reviews and blog post. You know who you are. If you are interested in receiving an ARC, please fill out the form at link below. I can’t guarantee ARCs for everyone who asks. But I will do my best. To increase your odds, please post reviews for at least the book in the Cambion series on Amazon or Barnes and Noble if you haven’t already. You only need a line or two to make a review. Reviews are golden to authors and much appreciated. And of course, Bloggers are priceless. Thanks everyone.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1k47Ima72Q8O-Vw2bgUxFF-6L71jUubcJXhTZsJxdm_k/viewform
This form will be up until next Sunday, June 23, 2013.
The question of the day is will AOM be published Friday. The answer is no. But wait. The last word has been written, the book is in editing. I don’t have a date yet when it will finish that process and I’ll have a final look through. But I’m pretty sure it will happen in June barring some catastrophe. And sooner rather that later.
Since, I’m not writing anything at the moment, (I was editing Remember), I went ahead and wrote a POV from the request list from the At Your Mercy group on Goodreads.
Give me a couple of days and I’ll also add another chapter in the Sebastian story as well. Thank guys for being awesome readers and fans of the Cambion series. You guys are the best!
I don’t mean to offend. Something about this picture makes me think of Flynn. So I thought I’d share. Can you guess what it is? LOL
