Born Again Blog Virgin
So this is my first blog in like a decade. Unless Facebook counts but I'm almost positive it does not.
But anywho, I've been meaning to pop my Goodreads blog cherry for days but my life is a circus. The kind of circus in which all of the acts are on crack.
That is my life.
My house is bat shiz crazy. It is never quiet unless no one is home. We have football three times a week and for some idiotic reason, I agreed to be team mom. On top of a ridiculous amount of homework. The house is a disaster because what little free time I have is spent writing or checking how many books I have sold or pages have been read. I had to sacrifice quality writing time today because I had three GINORMOUS loads of laundry to fold.
I have four boys. They're amazing and as close to perfection as you can get but they're also insane. And if it weren't for my badass husband and copious amounts of wine, I would be insane too.
Since Falling In is finally LIVE (YAY!) and ready to be read by all of you fine as eff people, I have been trying my damnedest to write Falling Over but like I said ... my life is an effing madhouse. So it's very slowly coming together. I just finished Chapter Three. I will say that I am crazy excited for this book. Loving where it's going. Having tons of fun going darker but I promise there will be light.
If you haven't read Falling In yet, I recommend that you take a chance on this first time author (me). I'm not gonna lie .. I'm pretty awesome. But I honestly love this book. The characters are flawed and real. It's messy and unforgiving but beautiful and honest. I'm proud of it. Check it out!
Alright. My husband is snoring on the couch next to me, I'm exhausted from being up multiple times with my five month old plus spending all day entertaining my toddler terrorist. It's time for this mama to go to bed.
Have a good night Goodreads peeps!
I'm out.

Good morning!
So my toddler monster decided to wake up at 5:30 this morning ... just as I was falling back asleep after nursing my five month old thirty minutes prior. Waking up at 5 am on a Saturday is a crime against humanity. Especially when you stayed up until midnight, enjoying three glasses of Merlot, and catching up on TV that you have been neglecting because any free time you have which is quite limited, has been spent writing Falling Out.
Needless to say, it's going to be a multiple cup of coffee kind of day!
Anyway, I haven't posted in a few days, although no one read my last post so I'm quite possibly just talking to myself. But honestly as a writer, I'm used to that. I'm always mumbling possible dialogue to myself.
I keep getting off track. So I haven't posted in awhile. Just wanted to check in. Hope you're reading Falling In and enjoying it. If you could post reviews on here or Amazon or at the very least rate it on Goodreads that would be amazing and I will be forever grateful. So far my friends and family have been so badass at helping me network. I'm extremely fortunate to be surrounded by so much love and encouragement.
Again, dammit. Getting off track. I wanted to update you a little on the progress of Falling Out. No spoilers or anything. It's in the early stages. I'm on chapter three which introduces us to Angeleigh. She is soft spoken and submissive but has a fire inside her that is just waiting to set aflame. Her heart is big but empty and cracked. She feels trapped in her relationship with her boyfriend. She's terrified to stay but even more so to leave. She feels helpless and lost and sees no way out. Until she meets her neighbor with haunted eyes and a broken heart. Their connection is instant, breathtaking, sexy. Can they help each other heal, bring themselves back to life? Or will they let their demons continue to destroy them?
You'll just have to wait and see... Of course that means I should probably stop Goodreadsing and continue writing.
But apparently I must go cater to the toddler terrorist who is currently about to climb onto the counter and get his own breakfast.
Smh.
Till next time readers!

Say whaaaat?
I repeat, you can now order Falling In on paperback! So, if you want to go back and immerse yourself in all that angsty, heartbreaking, uncomfortable and sexy betrayal all over again, you can. BUT ON PAPER THIS TIME!
Yassss!
My uber supportive and all around dope af husband actually did the cover layout. No, not just did, he handled it. Handled. It. Just owned that mother effer and it turned out beautifully!
Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1521550611
Please share, recommend to friends and family, read and REVIEW or at the very least, rate!
Ahhh! I'm so happy right now, I just might have to bust a move ...
Or watch others bust a move. Anyone else obsessed with dance videos on YouTube? I kind of live for Jake Kodish, JoJo Gomez and Sean Lew ...if you don't know who I'm talking about, LOOK THEM UP and I promise they will not disappoint!
Well, after you check (buy?) out my PAPERBACK, of course. ;-)

Much love,
Andrea
