For a good cause

In lieu of my grandmother's passing this morning, I wanted to ask you to help me spread the word on this cause. My Grandmother lost the battle to Alzheimer's about eight years ago. It began when I was young. I loved spending my weekends with her, and every morning when we woke up, we would have breakfast in bed. She would read her newspaper and I would read a book. I remember, at the time, I thought it was funny how she would read the same article three times, and every time it was like the first, "Oh, wow. This and that happened." But then it kept progressing until she didn't recognize nor remember a single family member. With Alzheimer's, at least in her case, she regressed to being a baby; couldn't or wouldn't talk, had to be spoon fed, and you can imagine the rest.
She spent eight years of this. As much as it hurts to let someone go, especially someone I had been so close to, it was for the best.

For the next two days, I would like to donate all Feathermore (ebooks and paperbacks) proceedings to the Alzheimer's foundation. Please help spread the word of this disease and my cause.

It is greatly appreciated!

July 22nd- July 24th
All Feathermore proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer's foundation

Hola!

I know, I have been MIA for quite some time and for that, I am sorry. To be completely honest, summer is kicking my butt! Last year, I wrote Feathermore during these two months of summer. However, this time, it's the opposite. I don't know if it is because my kids are older and they need different (and more) things to entertain them or what, but I find myself with zero spare time.
Luckily, I am up to 55k words on the new Fallenmore and I am hoping to finish it by the end of next week. Yes! I know, finally, right? Of course, then comes edits and revising and betas, etc. But at least, it will be done. I cannot wait for you guys to read it! I do believe losing my first MS may have been a good thing as I think it to be more kick ass than before. Hopefully you'll think so too!

What has everyone else been up to so far this summer? Have you been writing? If so, what are you working on? Have you been reading? What have you read or are you going to read? I've read the Vampire Academy series and loved it. Can I get a Demitri for myself? Please? I am going to start Possessed by Kira Saito and Back to You by Annie Brewer soon :)

Hope everyone is having a great, safe and fun summer!

XOXO

Cover reveal - Back to you by Annie Brewer

My good friend and author, Annie Brewer, has recently published her debut YA novel, "Back to You." It is a Contemporary Romance novel that has the prospect of turning into a tear jerker. I have just gotten my copy, and looking forward to reading it!




On the outside, 17 year old Abby Lewis has it all. She is dating the HS Football star, has a best friend anybody would kill for and a love and passion for singing that could send her to Broadway. But on the inside a storm is raging inside of her that she can no longer hide. As her life at home becomes more unbearable she turns to the only rock she has ever known, Lucas. When her father abandoned her and her sister, Lucas was there to help her pick up the pieces. And now that her dad wants back in her life, Lucas will again be her source of strength. But she isn't his and Abby can't stand the thought of being anyone else's. Will she ever be able to let go of the past? Or will she let it control her for good?


Let's show Annie some love by purchasing a copy!





Hardcovers coming soon!
