Beautiful Sins: The Divide

The encounter with King Christian has turned out to be more than what Leigha had anticipated. Now, as a Princess, Leigha is going to discover more about herself than she imagined. Leigha discovers she holds more of a connection to King Christian than she was told. Olivia also makes some discoveries of her own. She finds out the real reason why her mother died and seeks vengeance. There is a powerful creature lurking in the Lost City, a creature that cannot be destroyed. It’s called the Crael, and it is Dr. Connally’s creation of the perfect warrior.

Things take a turn for the worst when Olivia’s battle with the Crael turns to confusion. With Leigha and Olivia’s strong similar features, the Crael does not understand which beauty is the enemy. Fearful of Olivia’s fate, Leigha’s powers awaken in her determination to save her sister. However, that opens the doorway to more complications. Somehow, Dr. Connally has discovered the missing link to the creation of his perfect warrior; Olivia’s blood.

Throughout Leigha and Olivia’s struggles, the girls will learn that they will have to divide in order to survive. But will they remain sisters or enemies while they continue this fascinating journey in the discovery of their true destinies?

 

A Vampire's Obsession

After spending a year outside of The Dark Coast with her Aunt Ramona, Jenna is forced to return back; the war with Russia simply will not suffice for their means of survival. But Jenna WoodDrow left for a reason. Thirteen months ago, something terrible happened to Justin Wallace, the nerd-boy of Forest Grove High and her best friend.

Everything seems to go smoothly at first. Jenna reunites with her Roxi, her best friend and she resumes her class schedule as planned until, Justin Wallace returns to school.

Beautiful Sins: Wordle

I went to Wordle and decided to make one. Here's what it looks like.

The Vampire Next Door

Another short story came to my head while I was working on Beautiful Sins, so I ended up closing out my word doc and starting a new one. So, here it is:

Life is good for Zoe Leonard. She’s the most popular girl in school, the captain of the cheerleading squad, and she’s also an active member of the choir at her grandfather’s church. Calumet, Michigan, a small town with a population of a whopping 800 residents is the only home she knows. That is, until her mother meets Julian, a freelance writer that comes into town and sweeps Zoe’s mother off her feet. Tori, the daughter of the town’s reverend has always been outcast by the town. When Julian offers her the opportunity of a lifetime, she jumps at the chance to finally break free of the one place she’s felt has always kept her a prisoner.

Zoe’s not looking forward to moving to the one place on earth that has been classified as “the hell world” by her friends and family. She’s moving to The Dark Coast, a large portion of the U.S. that is ruled by constant cloud cover. When they arrive to their new house in a small subdivision in Forest Grove, Oregon, everything seems great. While Julian and Tori rebuild their lives together, Zoe tries to grow accustomed to her new surroundings. It’s summer, and the subdivision is filled with children her age, but Zoe finds difficulty connecting with them. That is, until she meets Tristan, her next door neighbor. Rumor has it, Tristan never communicates with anyone in the community. He’s irresistibly handsome, and his eyes seem filled with secrets. He’s known for being rude and vague, but something’s different this time. Will Zoe accept him as a friend when she discovers his secret?

It should be live sometime next week. It's already up for sale at smashwords. I've also made a trailer for this short:

I spent a few hours doing some light cleaning to the site. It still needs a lot of work, but between my writing projects, marketing, editing, creating book trailers, and designing book covers, I barely have the time. I'm going to stop through my two other websites that are live and do some work there as well.

More Delays

I'm sorry everyone. I want to announce the delay in Beautiful Sins: The Divide. There are a few kinks that need to be sorted out before I put the story online. Therefore, Beautiful Sins: The Divide will not be published until March 28, 2011. Again I want to apologize for the delay.

However, I do have some good news. There is a new Short Story that I've added to The Beautiful Sins Series. It's titled, The Vampire I Met In The Alley. Here is the synopsis of the story.

After a long evening of work waitressing at Bookworm’s Café, a small bookstore/café in the heart of Downtown Seattle, Destiny bumps into a severely injured man in the alley. As she does her best to aid the man, Destiny becomes suspicious by the man’s swift healing abilities. To make matters worse, Destiny discovers that Kathy, her only friend on the Dark Coast has quit her job at the café. Suspicious by her sudden disappearance, Destiny decides to search for her missing friend by visiting her new place of employment; The Outland Club, one of the many gothic clubs that rule Seattle’s nightlife. There’s something different about Outland Club. As Destiny enters the club in search of her friend, she realizes there is a world beyond her human eyes. A world full of vampires and there’s one Vampire in particular that has captured her attention. This Vampire has plans for Destiny and leaving is not one of them.

This short story is a small addition to the Beautiful Sins Series.

Warning; there are some small erotic scenes in this short story.

I've published the story on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords for $0.99. It should go live within the next twenty four hours. I will also post and update to announce that it has officially gone live.

Finally *Sigh* I've found an EDITOR

Finally, I can breathe. I've been putting in my disclaimers that I know that I was in need of an editor. I read through my titles myself but it's impossible to catch everything. So, I've found an editor that I can afford and as promised, I'm putting every single popping penny into each of my titles so that readers may start to see improvements in my work.

From now on, I will work with an professional editor before sending my to BN, Smashwords, and Amazon for publishing.

I want to thank everyone again for taking the time to read my story.
