Tattered Press Publishing...

So I opened my own Publishing house. Our first Author released her book yesterday and hit International Best Seller. So I think we are making a pretty good start. This is the link to our Facebook page. We haven't been around but for a couple of days... But we have a sister CO in the UK that has been established for years through Main Stream Publishing. We are an INDIE house... So look us up. If you are interested in being represented by someone who knows what being an Indie Author is like. Then drop us a line. <3

Today has been a total fuck all...

I think I might have finally bitten off more than I can chew... That doesn't often happen to me. I am the type of person that always plans ahead for things. For everything really. But this time the person I was depending on flaked out on my bum. I would just say fuck it and let it all fall but I have put so much work into this project and I am going to try and salvage it the best that I can. It might be slow going but I can get there. There is no doubt in my mind that I can DO THIS. I just wish it wasn't just me. It would be so much EASIER if my partner....
Well you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills the fastest.

Here's to hoping tomorrow comes with better news.

Blinded Truth Releases on March 25.

 

Everything is changing within Ella's world, once more. Ella is training and developing her gifts while stumbling upon secrets of her distant past...

Horrific circumstances may force her to give up someone she loves more than anything in this new world. Her existence seems bleak...
Until Tristan, a mysterious Reaper, makes himself known to her.

Their meeting leads Ella down a path of self discovery like no other. This new knowledge poses an unimaginable threat to Ella and the people she cares about.

Lives are at stake. Decisions must be made. An unexpected passion ignites.

But Darkness is always on step behind, stalking Ella's every waking moment.

When did Erotica become all about human trafficing and rape??

Personally I haven't read a new release in the Erotic Genre in over a year. I might write... But I am a huge reader also. I love and enjoy every genre, hell I even love Christian Western Romance. But when the main female heroine is stolen from her life, raped, beaten, then sold... Does she run when she gets the chance in these books. No. She falls in LOVE with the person beating and raping her. What does this say about females that actually support this?

Is it okay to LOVE a RAPIST?

Is it okay to kidnap and beat a person then SALE them like CATTLE?

I adored 50 Shades of Grey. Not for the main female character. But I loved reading and watching the male lead in the book grow into someone decent and worth loving. Was he a sadistic bastard in the first book? Yes, but the weak female stood her ground and dumped his ass making him WANT to change...

There is a decided difference between that and what is being sold now. It is like the genre has morphed into what most people are arrested for keeping on their computers.

Rape is NOT okay.

Beating a FEMALE is not OKAY.

Kidnapping anyone is NOT okay.


If you enjoy this shit then you are seriously some sick people. Just saying! xo

Seriously???

Completely Cracked OUT.

That is what I would call my writing process. There is no organization in it... AT ALL. It just comes out of my head then I get another idea for another direction I want to take the novel in and I delete and rewrite and.... I am a mess when it comes to my writing.


On to a brighter subject... There is an Author signing in NYC this weekend. Sadly no. I wont be going. BUT my PA is. She is going to have a fantabulous time and when she gets back she is going to have the skinny one what others are writing at the moment. YES. I am one of those that will write with the trends. As well as writing what I want to write as well. I have 3 novels going right now and 3 series.

See I told you... I am all over the place. But my head is a fathomless place of ideas and ramblings.

Weird doesn't begin to define me. But I love letting my freak flag fly!! xo

Indie Authors and Bullying.

I don't know if any of you currently on Facebook have noticed that there are a lot of nasty people cracking out on others. Yes, I know cracking out isn't exactly PC... But that is what it seems like is going on. They are totally flipping their shit and going all kinds of nuts. A couple of my friends and fellow authors have been targeted by a certain group of bloggers and blog groups. This isn't a game. Words whether in person or on a screen HURT. When people go out of their way to mess with your book it HURTS. Because as an author you put so much of yourself into it. These are playground games that people are playing. Hurtful and hateful games that need to end. I know that there is always going to be drama. People get bored and cause it just to have something to do. But when it gets this out of hand it needs to be stopped. I just wish I knew how. There isn't anything I can personally do but voice my opinion. I hate that people are thinking of taking down their books and pages due to harassment.
If it was me I would shave my head and pull a Britney and use the publicity and attention to draw more attention to my books. ;) But not everyone is like me. I can take it and turn it around. Some people just get hurt. I feel for those people.

Indie Authors Against Bullying is a worthy cause so if you catch sight anything nasty...Please report it.

Sometimes when family calls...

You should do yourself a favor and hit the ignore button. Here is a conversation that I had today.

Me: Hey mom, what's going on?

Mom: I thought you said you sold books on Amazon. I looked up your name and there was nothing there.

Me: I write under a Pen name mom. I told you that. I even texted you the correct spelling.

Mom:Whatever I don't think that you write books at all. I don't know why you think you have to lie to people. There is nothing wrong with quitting your job for no reason at all when you went to school to become a Teacher. If you were going to waste the money...

Then there was silence bc I hung up. It was either that or throw my phone.

My side of the family is so fucked up. I feel so sorry for my husband and son. This is the package I bring to the table.

For anyone with a family like mine. SMALL DOSES! That is my advice to you.

My silly boy...

My son is completely silly. He likes to start singing country ballads to me when he thinks I am in a bad mood or sad.
       'If I wrote you a love song...' Stay by Florida Georgia Line.
God gave me the sweetest boy in the world and I thank HIM for it everyday and night. I am lucky in love. I was blessed twice, once when I said I DO to my much to giving husband that loves to spoil me. Then a second time when the little stick had a plus sign on it...Then he heard my heart beat from inside for 9+ months. He didn't want to come out and was 3 weeks over due when he finally graced us with his presence.
He is turning 12 this summer, he is growing up and most of the time I just want to freeze time so I can enjoy every moment...Every second.

I have almost lost him a couple of times. We found out that he was epileptic when he was seven years old. He was misdiagnosed at first, but we finally got him on the right meds and it has been controlled for the last 2+ years. GOD blessing us again.

Writing is going slow...But getting there.

I am working on my first novel that has nothing to do with the paranormal genre. To say that it is going slow is an epic understatement. Switching genres...Isn't easy. But I want to branch out and try something new before I start writing the continuing books that come next in my two paranormal series that are currently being released this month.

Here's hoping that the MUSE keeps appearing inside my head so that I actually finish something that is so different for me.
