The Dark and the Light - Release Day thoughts

Image
As many of you may know, it's release day for my latest book. And it wouldn't be release day without a blog post sharing my thoughts and random musings. The writing of this book, The Chronicles of Light and Dark almost didn't happen. This book almost never got written. It was during the first draft that i lost two souls close to me - my beloved puddy tat Smokey, whom had been in our lives for almost 14 years, and my Nanna. Smokey had the pleasure of knowing and growing up with 3 dogs and my family's lives now have a gaping black void in it. It's been 5 months to the day we had to say goodbye to our precious boy, who we nicknamed Prince Smokey, Momo and Yoghurt boy, among others. Hopefully soon we will introduce a new furry family member, when the time is right. I don't want this post to be miserable. I want to relish in the fact that I'm nearly 28 and have published 19 stories. I want to relish in the fact that this book has finally made it to

Awaken by Cristy Sloat - Release Day Blitz

Image
Title: Awaken (Slumber Duology, Book Two) Author: Christy Sloat Genre:  YA Fantasy/ Fairytale Retelling Hosted by: Lady Amber's Tours “Happily ever after is hers for the taking.” Once upon a time I found myself locked away in Spindle Ridge Asylum, punished for a murder I didn’t commit. It was all part of Maleficent’s evil plan. I didn’t remember who I was then … now I do. My name is Aurora, and I am the rightful queen of this realm. Armed with my memories, I’m ready to take charge of my kingdom once more. Happily ever after evades me, yet I long to claim it with my true love, Sawyer, beside me. That fairy tale ending seems impossible with him locked in the thralls of a sleeping curse. As much as I’d love to sit by his bedside and eagerly await a cure, I must first travel into the terrifying Dark Woods to stop Raven from stripping me of all that is rightfully mine. I am not only a queen, but a warrior who will fight for her kingdom. Some  may  die. Blood  w

The Chronicles of Light and Dark Cover Reveal

Image
I'm beyond excited to share this cover with you. It is my favourite yet. There is a bit of a story behind this and i've been dreaming of it since the idea for the Legend of the Archangel came to me. The book itself is mostly about Lakyn and his journey thus far. It was very emotional to write and i really hope you don't hate me after you read it. i promise the events in the book happen for a reason and i do have big plans for certain characters in the last book. I wanted to have Lakyn on the cover first and foremost. But the trouble was finding a model or stock photo that embodied him - nothing truly captured the essense of my Lakyn… until i met Daniel. I met Daniel Ford through my cover designer, Regina Wamba. He is a musician, model and all round nice guy. He is also hilariously funny. Make sure you check out his Facebook page  (and watch his short films. Did i also mention he's a ridiculously talented film producer?) and give it a like and say hi. Sa

Do what's right for you

So lately, you may have noticed i haven't been myself. If you haven't, then don't be alarmed. I am okay. Just. I'll fill you in on what's been going on in my life. You may or may not know that i've had a few losses in my life lately. My furbaby, my kitty cat Smokey passed away in July, and less than a month later, my Nanna went to heaven too. Both had very long lives and were lucky they reached the ages they did. (Smokey was almost 14, and Nanna was 90 years.) They both did amazingly well to get to where they were. But old age caught up with them. Anyway i won't bore you with my sappy story. During this time i had been writing the fifth Legend of the Archangel book. As any artist would know, a creative outlet is the best way of dealing with the pain of loss or any emotional event in one's life. I tried. I wasn't dealing. I was drowning. There's also the matter of finanicial stresses that caused me to reach breaking point. Book sale

His Lullaby Baby by Airicka Phoenix - Blog Tour + review

Image
Title: His Lullaby Baby Author: Airicka Phoenix Genre: Contemporary Romance Hosted by: Lady Amber's Tours Blurb: Nothing ever happens by accident. Ex-combat search and rescue officer Toby McClain had seen all aspects of humanity in his ten years of service until friendly fire took him out of action. But bitterness was something Toby could never do. He was alive. He had his family and, after being ambushed by a door, he had his eyes on the sexy new innkeeper. Adelaide Nixon had felt the burn of love once already. It was a mistake that cost her six years of her life. It was a punishment she never wanted to feel again, especially when there were two little people who depended on her to keep them safe. The last thing she wanted or needed was the attention of a guy whose family kept the gossip mills turning. But no secret ever stays hidden in a place like Willow Creek. Even as Toby breaks through Addy’s walls, a new threat comes to town, leaving her no choic
