Embracing the Flames Official Release Giveaway!

Hello once again readers!!!!

Today is the birthday of book II in the Born in Flames trilogy!!! I am so excited (hence the overuse of exclamation points)!!!!

To celebrate this wondrous occasion, I’d like to hold a giveaway exclusive to you my lovely bloggers! All you have to do is reblog this post to be entered to win a Born in Flames trilogy swag pack. This includes signed mini posters, a custom-made necklace, bookmarks, magnets and a few other goodies! The contest will run until the end of the week and every reblog counts as an entry!

No on to the details!

The Stone of Immortality has always been kept under the watch of the Draconta.
That is, until the betrayal of a Fate. Now, everything is about to
change.

Aurora Megalos accepted her destiny without blinking-even if it
meant succumbing to her dragon side. Deemed the Progeny, she left the ordinary
life she knew and has done everything in her power to learn the ways of her new
home and what it means to be part dragon. But when her mentor, Astral, suddenly
disappears, she is forced to take the reins with war on the brink. She sets out
on an epic journey to find what her arch enemy, Zordon, is after. What she
discovers is far worse than she could’ve ever imagined. She will be tested and
pushed to the limit. Lives will be lost, love will be found, and most
importantly, a battle will begin.

Who Are You Again?

Hello once again Readers!!!!!! Like the fan art of Aurora? I think it friggin’ rocks! I have a ton more that I will share with you in another post. I love it. It just makes me feel so giddy inside.

But I digress.

Okay…so I know I have been M.I.A on here. And maybe even that is an understatement. But I swear I have reasons! Valid ones too!

First off, I finished From the Embers (the final book in the Born in Flames trilogy) and submitted that to my publisher. She is nearly finished reading it and waiting on me for a blurb to put into the contract. In the meantime, she had returned her final read through of Embracing the Flames with notes I needed to go over before it could go to formatting.

I went back into the editing cave and closed myself off. That is all I have been doing for the past week. It took me a little bit of time because it’s my last chance to make it how I want it before it lands in your hands. And because I am OCD.

That being said, my read through of Embracing the Flames is complete as of today and it is now back with my publisher being formatted. We are looking at the next two to three weeks for a release date. Can you believe it!? The day is almost near. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, here is the cover of book one and two:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any who, so now that Embracing the Flames is on its way… I must go back to the formatted print version off Born in Flames and read through it before it gets sent of to the printer. HAPPY FREAKING DANCE!!!! I can’t wait to hold my book! And just in time for the Indie BookFest I will be attending in August.

Deep breath.

It’s all coming together…I just have to learn how to keep up. I am so excited…you just don’t even know.

As for slacking on the blog, I am very sorry. I want to blog so bad, but between taking care of my two-year old, babysitting a three-month old, and finding the time to market, write, edit, and everything else that fits into the job description, well, I’m sure you catch my drift. I’ve discovered I am not Wonderwoman, sadly enough.

There goes that dream. o_O

Now to leave you with a question: Who’s looking forward to reading Embracing the Flames?!!

Crazy’s My Middle Name

Hello once again, Readers!!! I’m just going to jump right into things because this past week has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. It started off normal, and then all of sudden the rug was pulled out from under me. My husband’s brother was in a very bad car accident. And he lives over 1100 miles away from us.

o_O

It was one of the scariest phone calls I have ever received and it resulted in rushing to book two flights out for the next day for my husband and me, while trying to set everything up for my children to be taken care of by my bestie and mom.  Around midnight. Thankfully I have such a great support system. They helped me tremendously.

Long story short, my BIL is alive and healing up. I can’t tell you how good it is to day that because for a minute there, we weren’t sure. I won’t get into all the gory details, but I will say that he is extremely lucky to be alive. He must have an angel on his shoulder and I am so glad we were able to be there for him and to see his face alive and smiling.

Any who, now onto Born in Flames news. First off, the tour has kicked off with an awesome start. Great reviews, fun interviews, and music galore! I am very pleased and excited with how things are coming along. If you want to see for yourself, check out this post I did previously with all the dates and stops.

Also, when I finally made it home (after four crazy days of being in another state), I came back to two special packages. One being from an insanely sweet fan who created and mailed necklaces to me all the way from England!! And another was from Next Day Flyers who I ordered my second round of bookmarks from. Here are the necklaces:

Aren’t they just gaw-geous!!!?? So exciting!!! I can’t wait to find ways to give them away! It is the first thing a fan has ever made for me. Kind of tears me up a bit. I am extremely grateful to have the wonderful fans in my life who love and understand my story. I can’t wait to share book two with them!

Here are the bookmarks I ordered:

That’s 500 right there. I will be ordering the Embracing the Flames bookmarks next all in preparation for the Bookfest in August. And that’s about it for now. I’m still in the process of editing From the Embers. It’s crazy how my writing has changed and grown since Born in Flames. I’ve learned so much from the editors and just from writing and reading.

But I digress…

Now to leave you with a question: What would you do for a Klondike bar?
