BLOODBREEDERS: Living in Darkness...Re-Release...TOMORROW!!!!

I am over the top proud to say that my babies are stepping back out into the world on my terms...and are at their best!!!! The Bloodbreeder series is being released like stepping stones until I have the first three books back where they belong with all issues addressed...with new covers and soon marked with my own company header, EJC Publishing. Book four in the series, Lies Beneath London has a release date set...October 31st 2013 and I will do my best to see that date stick!!!
 
 



Not once in her life did farm girl Renee Crocker, imagine she would encounter a world found only in the minds of myth-seeking men. Although what they sought were not always unheard of in other parts of the world, those very things they found would all be a complete mystery to the town folk of Burkett, Texas.

 
Renee’s life changed late one evening during supper, when a handsome stranger came knocking on the door of the Crocker family farm house… and was invited inside. It didn’t take long for Renee to discover a great number of things that people in her neck of the woods couldn’t even begin to contemplate. The dark of night took on a whole new meaning and the once vulnerable, young country woman finds herself struggling to survive in a world that demand she live forever in darkness.

I will be adding the book link, excerpt and info on the release of book two tomorrow~

What HAS Been Going On???

Hello All....

It's been a while since I've made a post but there has been a lot going on!!!

I've had a dear friend whose family has been dealing with a great amount of medical problems and I am just not the type to be able to promo when my super close peeps are in hard times.  As of right now, all is in God's hands...Many prayers will continue to go their way! However, I have been getting some off line work done while I sit and wait on news.

 Bloodbreeders; Living in Darkness, book one is ready for release and I am setting a date asap.


Cover Art By: Rebel Angel Designs Thank you so very much, Ms. Sarah....I absolutely LOVE it!!!!

The new cover for book two in the Bloodbreeder's series is under way and book four will follow shortly after. I will be keeping book three due to it being created by Rebel Angel Designs which is the company I have contracted with to do all of my work....

EJC Publishing: My first and only company and future home for my work. It will first house 10 of my books...that's what I am working on getting out as soon as humanly possibly ... but also making sure they are the best that myself and my crew can make them!!! I will open with:

Uncertain Meanings ( Contemporary Romance)
Arrival of the Prophecy (Paranormal Werewolf Romance/Erotic/Suspense)
The Bloodbreeder's Series...First Four Books: (Dark Fantasy/Paranormal Vampire/Suspense-Romance)
Living In Darkness
The Revenge
Seeking Others
Lies Beneath London
The Piper Vale Series; Book one (Thriller)
Please Don't Hurt Me
An Author's Anthology Four short stories ( Paranormal/Erotica/Romance-Horror)
An Author's Anthology: Part Two ( Holiday Horrors)
Short Stories of Twisted Tales: Part one...10 short stories ( Horror )

Cover Art By: Kysha McBee
Photography By: Robin Renee Ray

Afterwards, I will still have 10 full length novels to get ready to release and add to the company before I can get back to creating..LOL Good grief!!! BUT...I am very happy to say that I am not alone. At first I thought I would be the only author housed at EJC due to it being a NO submission company. My partner, of course, is my editor and very dearest friend, Jeanette Ratajczyk and she too is an author....yep she goes by...Savannah Rayne, and she will also house her work on EJC Publishing's walls adding to it's numbers ...  and genre reading pleasure ... with three amazing reads as of right now and maybe by the time the company opens...four. ; )

I have also asked my copy editor, DeAnna Felthauser, if she would like to add her work and this is where it will end. It remains to be seen just how many books Ms. Felthauser will be adding and just what genres they will be...but get ready, because we three will have almost every genre out there between us. ; ) And I think I will call us the 'Three Blind Mice' LOL As we learn blindly as we go..LOL

Yes, I am heading it up and yes, it will be my company. I will hold the business licenses and be the one sending out to book stores/news papers/radio stations/promo sites and even more...but, we will all three handle our own affairs as far as sells and how they are paid, goes...We will also be handling our own books. No BOSSES, just partners...three women/authors who want to be independent using our own publishing company for marketing reasoning. Things may seem like it is taking a bit to get off the ground, but that's only because I am one person who is making damn sure every 'T' is crossed and 'I' is dotted...and all is legal, plus!!!!

We can only get out one book at a time and we are all working on getting a book out. I have many, and one right after the other so I won't be online a great deal. BUT...We are hoping to have things going nicely by the month of December, with a great deal of these books out and the company business link up and under construction.

Have a wonderful week all~

Big Hugs from me and all of us at:

Uncertain Meanings is on MY Store Front on Coffee Time Romance...WOOHOO!!!

WOOHOO!!! I am so proud to say that I now have a store front with Coffee Time Romance, where I will be adding my contemporary, paranormal and erotic romance reads. I have waited for this for soooo very long and the amazing and wonderful women at CTR has now made this possible!


The first book in my store front with CTR is my heart breaking tale that later becomes a sweet love story and very non-sexual contemporary: Uncertain Meanings....It is one of those reads that is true to life and I mean that in more ways than one. Milly, one of my three main characters (Yes, I give ALL my key character's a voice)...is indeed, my mother. There is more things in this tale that is based on fact-happenings... than things that had just popped into my mind. Yet, I did mix a great deal of fiction to create a great story-line~ I will leave it to my readers to figure out what is what....but, I will say that it was my momma who was nine months with child(Me) when the attack happened, she fought and due to many circumstances...she won being left with scrapes and burses. But thankfully nothing more! 

Who will come to Crystal's aid? Will she be like the real life victim or will she have a Hero stop the madness???

I have to say, that I truly believe that all women deserve to have a Hero to come at that most pivotal moment...when despair is all that grips the soul and fear consumes every last emotional pore. At that second when one knows all hope is gone...even in the event if an unborn child has taken that time to come into this world, no matter the horrific event that is about to unfold. This, my good peeps is the darkest suspense I have spoken about that I wrote in this love story....

No matter how bad we want life to be flowers and butterflies, where nothing bad ever happens...that's just not reality. HOWEVERE....Hero's are real!!! They may not have a big 'S' on the front of their shirt...they may not be able to leap a tall building...and they may not be able to stop a locomotive with their hands....but, they can come into your life at that time when one has reached their lowest point. They can and do...Save the Day!!!! And most important of all....Hero's bring forth uncertain meanings and a world of happy-ever-after's for all they encounter or should I say...all who fall in love with that amazing hero~

 
 
Blurb:
 
Crystal Rivers had suffered many things throughout her life, but none was more shocking than the untimely death of her husband. Learning that her in-laws were not the loving people they claimed to be, she soon finds herself in the arms of her only living relative…her elderly, Aunt Milly.

Now with child, Crystal is determined to create a new world for her and her unborn baby on the majestic farm that she herself once enjoyed as a child. Falling in love was not part of that plan, but many things were about to come to pass that Crystal could have never imagined. Deceit and an attempt on her and her child’s life would test her will to survive, to the very core of Crystal’s sanity.

FREE FREE FREE

FREE for the next FIVE days!!! August 1st through August 5th~

I ask all to please change this book out if you already have it on your e-readers...PLEASE!!!

I am now the publisher of my own work and all issues have been taken care of in that last release!  Things happen; formats revert, some can even be set on another countries setting and it will indeed mess up wording. Honour-to our Honor...really odd things, but my bad is so many ways.

Hoping my crew I did a good job and maybe some of you will change out...makes my whole year.  Other than the ones where other's do not care for my overly warped thinking in the too much violence in my work. ; ) But how cool would that be if even they did some research and upgraded that thought process, at least in thought and gave me a 'D'..LOL BUT...In life, if you put a wolf and a boar together...I can bet you my right leg that they will not sit and talk things over without any form of bloodshed. Nope, not when one insist on being the TOP pride~

 
Just click on book cover to go to FREE Link~
 
EXCERPT: Just one of my favorite parts~
 


“Yes, honey, this is a woman thing. You go enjoy yourself and don’t worry. She’ll be fine,” Bonny jabbered and moved up by Anthony, moving her hands up and down, not knowing what to do with herself.

“If you do not calm yourself, you will pass out just like she did,” Adella smiled, patting her on the back. “Come, you’ll be alright.”

“I haven’t had a baby, well, since I had a baby,” Bonny giggled, causing Adella to look back at Henry, who made the motion indicating that she had a little to drink.

“I think we have several months to worry about having a baby…don’t we?” Anthony asked, pausing on the staircase.

“Of course, don’t be foolish. Move yourself, boy,” Adella replied, swatting him on the butt.

“That is so funny,” Bonny snickered, tilting backwards.

“Oh, no you don’t,” Adella said, grabbing her around the waist and pushing her up against the banister.

“Did I just hiccup?” Bonny asked, laughing out loud. “That blue stuff was really good.”

“For the sake of Mother Earth, she drank your grandfather’s tonic.”

“She did what?” Anthony replied, so shocked he almost tripped and dropped Sky.

“Oh, this is not going to be good.”

Anthony lightly kicked Adella’s bedroom door open, and laid Sky—who was already asking what was going on, on the bed. He told her she had fainted, while Adella sat Bonny on the chair by the fireplace. Afterwards she grabbed a cold wash cloth out of the bathroom that was connected to the bedroom.

Sky sat up on the edge of the bed, turning three shades whiter, and then announced that she was going to be sick. Adella slid to a stop right at the foot of the bed, throwing the rag at Anthony and rushing back into the bathroom, grabbing the waste basket. She spun around and slung it in Anthony’s direction, with him catching it putting it under Sky’s head just in time to catch the contents of her stomach.

“I’m going to be ill,” Bonny burped, scooting to the edge of the chair, reaching for her mouth.

“What has cursed me this day?” Adella rolled her eyes and threw her head back.

She grabbed Bonny under the arm, dragged her to the toilet, where she held her head up so she could relieve herself of the blue tonic. The same tonic that Anthony’s grandfather had made for years and been drunker than a skunk off of every time he opened the jug.

Sky laid back and started crying for no apparent reason, while Bonny on the other hand was hugging the toilet singing a song that couldn’t be understood by anyone.

Adella left Bonny to entertain herself and went around to the other side of the bed, and lay down next to Sky. “I do not remember reading anything about this in the book of prophecies,” she said turning her head, looking into Sky’s tear filled eyes.

“I don’t feel so good,” Sky sniffled.

“It will pass, child. We all go through it. As for your mother in the other room, she will feel the effects of her day for hours to come.” Then she and Anthony both started laughing.

“I don’t get it,” Sky said, rolling over wiping her nose on her sleeve.

“Bonny drank a mixture that grandfather makes, claiming it helps his bones. It is so powerful, that no man can drink a full glass without becoming so drunk that he cannot stand straight,” Adella explained, smiling and closing her eyes.

“You should see her daughter drunk.”

“I believe I will pass. That reminds me. She and Parker should be returning anytime. Carter took them with a few of the enforcers to your father’s home to retrieve her, what she called, suitable clothing,” Adella said, putting her arm over her forehead.

“Tell me again…why didn’t we get rid of her?”

“Ladies,” Anthony snickered, moving the trash can back and sitting on the edge of the bed.

“She’s such a bitch,” Sky whispered, sitting up on her elbow. “Think that’s gonna change, because she’s a new pig?”

“Her mother will hear you,” he said putting his finger to his lips, smiling the whole time.

“She will not remember,” Adella interjected, as she sat up. “I better get Kayla to help me put this one in the tub, then directly in the bed.”

“Adella?” Sky reached up taking her hand.

“Yes, child?”

“Will there really be others trying to kill our baby?”

“In his future,” she paused. “I fear so.” She squeezed her hand, then left to find, Kayla.

The Vampire Diaries ...

I just had to share this news because I am sooooo EXCITED!!!

After looking into the rules of writing FanFic through The Vampire Diaries...I knew it was something that I had to try. Know the plot, where the story lies in Mystic Falls and who the key characters are is amazing. Getting to bring in new characters/beings into the already suspense filled small town is something that snagged my thoughts without a doubt in getting involved.

Susan McGee, a young girl from Mystic Falls who is very much a loner and a person who has a love a taking photos of old headstones, bumps into a tall stranger who she at the time...does not know will be using her to find a certain werewolf that made Mystic Falls their home. Question is...does this strange mean harm or is his there to warm the one he is looking for?

Title:


The Vampire Diaries

My Love of Cemeteries

I will let you all know when this read is complete and has been submitted!!!

UNCERTAIN MEANINGS ... Coming July 15!!!


BLURB:


Crystal Rivers had suffered many things throughout her life, but none was more shocking than the untimely death of her husband. Learning that her in-laws were not the loving people they claimed to be, she soon finds herself in the arms of her only living relative…her elderly, Aunt Milly. 

Now with child, Crystal is determined to create a new world for her and her unborn baby on the majestic farm that she herself once enjoyed as a child.  Falling in love was not part of that plan, but many things were about to come to pass that Crystal could have never imagined. Deceit and an attempt on her and her child’s life would test her will to survive, to the very core of Crystal’s sanity.
 
EXCERPT:

Milly cleared her throat several times on the way to the chicken coop to keep from laughing. She didn’t want to spill the beans, so to speak. She knew the best way to learn how to do anything on a farm was to get down and get your hands dirty, and that was just what she was going to let Crystal do. Once they were at the chicken coop, Milly opened the door and ushered Crystal in.

“Why do I have to go first?”

“Cause you have the feed and I need to lock the door.”

“You’re going to lock me in?” Crystal yelped, panic setting in.

“I’ll be in there with ya, gathering eggs. They ain’t gonna hurt ya,” she promised as Crystal walked through the door. “Just don’t turn your back on the rooster.”

Crystal tried to turn and go back out, but the door was already closed and Milly was walking toward another one. Crystal was on her heels in one huge step.

“How will I know which one's the rooster?”

“He has a pecker,” she replied and burst out laughing.

“Milly!”

“He’ll be the one that’s trying to get at your leg,” Milly laughed, then opened the door where the chickens had been throughout the night. She shuffled in and started gathering the eggs while the flock of fowl scurried out. When she didn’t hear anything coming from outside the coop, she stepped back out to see Crystal frozen in the middle of fifteen chickens and one cocky rooster.

“Just toss the grain on the ground and they’ll move away from ya,” Milly said, smiling ear to ear.

Crystal turned the bucket upside down, pouring it all in a single pile, then tossed the bucket toward the corner of the pen. The chickens began flocking around the front of her feet and she jumped back, hitting the rooster with the back of her leg. The startled bird jumped up and angrily flogged the back of her thigh. She screamed and took off running from the creature that came up no higher than her shin, with that rooster on her every step of the way.

She circled around the inside of the cage three or four times before she finally put her back to the chicken-wire wall and started screaming at the rooster to, “stay back or else!” Milly got so tickled that she couldn’t have helped the poor girl if she’d wanted to. She was doubled over in laughter, holding her side, trying to suppress the pain that shot through it from laughing so hard. Every time the rooster jumped at Crystal, she would kick out her foot and try to hit him back.

“That’s right, you have to show him who’s boss!” Milly said between hiccups of laughter.

“I’m done, can I get out now? Please?” Crystal begged as she kicked once again at the rooster that seemed determined to show her who the boss was and it certainly wasn’t her.

Milly turned around and grabbed the last few eggs before walking over to where she and the rooster were engaging in their little war. Milly hollered, “Get!” waving her hand toward the rooster. He bobbed his head, scratched his foot across the ground a few times, and then joined his females.

Crystal carefully slid with her back to the cage wall toward the door that would let her out, not once taking her eyes off of her new-found friend. Milly unhooked the latch and in a split second, Crystal was out in the open with her hands on her knees and her head hanging down.

“I guess fried chicken is out of the question for supper tonight,” Milly joked, knowing she wouldn’t let Crystal live this one down for some time.

Crystal started to lift her head to retaliate when she noticed her tennis shoes were no longer white. “What the heck is that on my shoes?”

“Well, good night child, it’s chicken shit,” Milly said, shaking her head smiling, knowing the day was going to be a little longer than she had anticipated. “Think you’re ready to help me with the horses?”

“You really don’t give a person time to think about their problems, do you? Are your horses very big?” she inquired, scraping her shoes on the gravel at her feet.

The next company you see my work at will be my own...EJC Publishing...but, I will never open submission to the public.

Arrival of the Prophecy, will be my first re-release...Then I will release a brand new novel. My contemporary read that I wrote for my mother.  Uncertain Meanings... Once those two are out in both ebook and print (And they will come out in ebook and print at the same time or very close)  I will release all three Bloodbreeder books in ebook and print and ready book 4. Before book 4... I will be releasing the first book in another series. A thriller: Piper Vale...Please Don't Hurt Me....

I have been accepted at Coffee Time Romance to sell all of my ebooks on their site as an Independant...they will also be available on Amazon (Kindle and Print), Barnes & Nobles (Nook and Print), Books a Million, Smashword and several other online sites... that will be just to start.
