Here After Trilogy

Here After is back with my editor to get it ready for everyone. I'm not sitting idly by waiting for Red Adept Editing to finish. I've finally found the perfect cover after months of searching and even attempting to create my own. Which incidentally were pretty awful. Thank you to FrinaArt at SelfPubBookCovers. I've also worked on the back cover and have finally gotten it right after a few weeks of work. Let me know what you think here on my blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

Throwing off the comforter, I ran over to my computer to quiet the blaring music escaping from the speakers. I was certain I’d turned the thing off last night. I was about to slam the top shut when the monitor caught my attention. On the screen, in bold letters that took up half the page, were two words. “GET OUT.”

Shaking my head, I tried rid myself of the uncomfortable feeling at seeing the disturbing message. Turning around to head back to bed, I stopped short.

“Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”

For a moment, I didn’t realize to whom she spoke. Then, understanding dawned on me. She could see me. The shock of my realization froze me in place. I didn’t know whether to be happy or… my sluggish brain caught up to what she’d said and anger took the place of my elation.

“Your house? This isn’t your house.”

Insight

First, let me explain how I write. I, unfortunately, do not write with a plan or outline in place. This is against every writing rule I was taught in school and every one I’ve read since putting my fingers to the keyboard to begin Immortal in 2010. This means I throw out a lot of what I write. Immortal alone I started over five times and probably threw out 80,000 words.

The reason I’m telling all of you this is three fold.

1)      For those who are writing or aspiring to write: Don’t give up. I have the worst writing habits in the world, yet I persisted, and because of it, Immortal and Forever were created.

2)      This means I am not a fast writer. If you add in the fact that I also have a full time job, two kids, and a husband, as well as writing but I hate excuses. I know, as a fan waiting over a year for Mass Effect 3 and three years three months for Inheritance by Christopher Paolini (see I’m a bigger dork than you thought) to come out I really do understand the frustration of waiting for the next book or game or even movies to be released.

3)      This also means that my most frequently asked question: When will Eternity, the third book in the Immortal Trilogy, be released? This question is actually hardest for me to answer. I would chalk it up there with Stephenie Meyers being asked about Midnight Sun. I know you all want a date now and the sooner the better. The thing is I needed a break from Immortal not a long break but a little one. Hence, the reason I am working on Here After my new series. I promise afterward I will be back to work on Eternity.

I hope this gives you some insight into what I’m doing and I hope you’re all willing to hang in there with me. The wait will be worth it.
