I have made some awesome author friends and I have added all of their books to my summer reading list. It includes, but is not limited to, books by Alora Kate, CL Matthews, and DK Combs.

I have planned to have three books out in this series. I chose Divided because it circles around real life issues of adults who are struggling with their feelings for certain people and life in general. Everyone has a moment of feeling Divided at one point in their life. The sequel will be out on July 24, 2017! If things keep going the way they are now, I hope to have the third book out within the next year as well.
I chose a cliffhanger because I have a love/hate feeling for them. I love the suspense of a cliffhanger, but at the same time they drive me crazy. I honestly didn't intend on leaving it like that, it kind of just wrote itself. I tried many times to find a different stopping point, but nothing felt right. Ripped picks up right where we left off in Torn.
I don't want to give any spoilers ;) I have a tendency to ramble on and give too much away.

I am sorry this is so delayed. I took a bit of a hiatus and I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Ripped will be released July 24, 2017! Thank you for your support!

So far, I'd have to say, writing the book I've always wanted to read. When I read, I throw myself in the stories. I like to think about how I would have done things had I been the main character or what I would have changed had I written the story. I'd like to say that I have total control over my story, but I don't. I can get a basic idea, but my characters call the shots. My debut novel, Torn, had been changed a handful of times in the process of writing due to my characters just changing the way they did things. It sounds crazy, unless you're a writer.

Once the idea for a story is in my head, it's not hard for me to get lost in it. I enjoy writing and telling my own stories. The feedback from my critique partners and beta readers have pushed me to continue, even when I feel like quitting.

Right now, I'm in the process of doing my own edits to Ripped, book two in my Divided series. In my free time from that, I've started on a new project as sort of a treat for myself when I'm feeling overwhelmed with Ripped.

Simple. Don't give up, no matter what other's might say. If it's something you're passionate about, give it your all. You won't regret it.

Usually, if I take a step back, it doesn't take long to overcome. If I take a break from the scene or project I'm writing to write something else, or if I take a complete break and maybe catch up on a T.V. show or play with my son, I can get over writer's block fairly quickly.
