Hi Everyone, I know I'm not on here a lot, but I would love to change that in the next coming year.

I'm bringing out a new pen name, another alias, and it's the fourth one. Sometimes I want to kick myself in the rear end for doing this, but I belief that my genre's should be kept apart from one another as each genre has a different group of fan base.

A bit news about myself before I'm going to tell you about the boxset.

Two months ago, the doctor found a huge blood clot in my leg and I have to take things easy until it's resolved. Sure, they can suck it out, and it would be over and done with, but with the beautiful Corona Virus in the air and in hospitals, they do not want to take that risk to admit me and it has to resolve the hard way with medicine and to just take things easy. Meaning, I can't sit on my butt the way I used to and write for hours and hours non stop. It has seriously taken its toll on me the past few months as I'm still trying to figure out how to do what I love, but it has been a very difficult past two months. I'm constantly worrying about this as when the blood clot start to dissolving, a piece could easily break off and then shot into my lungs, heart or brain. It's scary to think about dying and death when it could happen to you, and I struggled to get out of that funk. I'm just starting to get back to things now, but it's still a winding road. So I'm trying to stay positive, as this momma can not clock out, her babies is still too young and I still want to see one of my books on the big screen, hahahaha.

Now with the dark behind let me tell you about the new boxset that I'm in. Actually two boxsets that I'm in.
The pen name for this genre will be Judith Holstrom. She writes Crime detective, as I have a very dangerous relationship with serial killers, and the other genre is horror, as I love horror books.
The Curse, written by my third pen name, Kristin Ping, was actually supposed to be an Judith Holstrom title. So if you love horror and crime, her books might just be something to check out.

The first boxset, the Notorious Minds.



Is on 99c. Last day to purchase this boxset filled with crime stories. Tomorrow, Monday, it will be available for 3.99c.
So if you guys could do me a favour and purchase this boxset, it would be so much appreciated.

The second boxset is Soul's Day Boxset. It comes out on Tuesday and I will have another blog post on that one on Tuesday, a bit more detailed. It's an Halloween theme boxset and my title in there is called A Jinx on Hallow's Eve. It's about a mansion, a lot like Rose Red, but the house does not build by itself on anything, no the ghosts in the house is much more interesting and have a lot of plans up their sleeve to those that enter.



I had so much fun writing stories for both these boxsets and please, if you love these genres, purchase a boxset during the first week/pre-order stage when it's 99c. Both sets will go up after the first week of release and you do not want to miss the amazing deals.

With that, I'm glad that I got to speak to all of you again, and I'm going to try my best to share news more often. It's been really a while since I've been on Goodreads, and I'm happy and glad to be back.

Hi everyone.

I'm not very great at doing a once a month post and I apologize for that.
But I have extremely excited news for you all.
I just published First Sight: A forbidden Love story which is part of the Guardian of Monster's Saga and the series will be called (Royal Mage book one)

It is in the interim of changing to a free novel. It won't be a perma Free, but the second part to this novel is currently on pre-order in the Playing with Fire Boxset.

So if you would like to know what First Sight is all about, whether the story is for you or not, now is your change to find out.

There is also very special characters from Hinder, the first novel in the Bender's series that makes their appearance in this novel. But It's a surprise.



Description: Young, French, and working in the USA, Danielle Laurant has it all—including the love of heartthrob Marick Young. However, there’s something sinister brewing underneath their love.

Secrets can make or break any relationship—but especially when it’s one that goes against the grain of otherworldly laws. Marick is the prince of warlocks and his father refuses to allow his son to love a human girl and Marick refuses to let her go.

Marick introduces Danielle to a world she didn’t know existed. But she needs to end their relationship or force him to lose his crown. And if it isn’t done soon, it won’t matter anyway. She’ll be put to death.

In this exciting, fast paced, introduction to the Royal Mages series by USA Today Bestselling Author Kristin Ping, prepare for a forbidden romance like no other.

I have one review already and here is what she has to say about the book : "Who doesn't love a story of forbidden love with conflicted alpha males and smart, sexy females. This one has shifters and warlocks and magical castles--the heroine is worried about walking under chandeliers, knowing that only magic is holding them up--and cursed royals and .... family drama. It's easy to relate!"

So what are you waiting for.
Go get your copy on AMAZON, Barnes and Noble, Ibooks or Kobo

P.S If Amazon isn't free yet, they are still busy with price match. Just give it a few hours.

Thank you, and hope you like First Sight.

Hi everyone.

It's on Pre-Order for only 99c at BN, iTunes, Kobo, and Google Play. With every pre-order we are giving away a FREE READS BOXSET filled with over 1600 pages of stories.

In this Free reads I have First Sight, A Forbidden Love story and a brand new read that will eventually form part of the Guardian of Monsters, and Crows of Winter: The Lost Chalice.

My story in this boxset is called Forever: A Forbidden Love Story, and it's part of the Guardians of Monsters Saga. It will be the follow up of my free read in this boxset following the royal witches. No, it's not the follow up on Hinder, but Fibbs and Ariel is making their appearance in one of these stories.
The story is built around Forbidden Love theme between a witch and a human, and that is what Playing with Fire theme is all about, Forbidden Love.

It's filled with Paranormal and Fantasy stories.

MORE ABOUT MY FREE READS:



FIRST SIGHT: Is the part before Forever, which will be in the boxed set. It follows Danielle who falls in love with a very strange, weird but brute of a man, Marick Young. He's ways intrigues her and she is a sucker for men that struggles, and Marick is beyond lost, a mess. But what Danielle doesn't realize, Marick is guarding a big secret and falling for him might just be the last thing she will ever do.

First Sight was exclusively written for the Free Reads and you will not find it anywhere else but in the Free Reads Boxset.



WINTER OF CROWS: THE LOST CHALICE: follows the story of Julien, the prince of the Djinns. Those of you that read Immortal, a Varcolac story has met him during the ball that Cass held to discuss the GREAT WAR. This story follows how the Djinns lost their chalice.

If Only by Yvonne Beattie

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I chose If Only by Yvonne Beattie only because of Title and description. If I had to go on the cover, this book wouldn't even have grabbed my attention. I love covers and my honest opinion, think this cover could've been done better then what it is currently at.
Now that I have that out of the way, the first 40 percent the book was okay.
If I had not chose to review it, I would've not finish this novel. It just did not grab my attention at all, or hold it in order to turn the pages. The first 40 percent of a novel is so important. Around the 50 percent mark I actually got drawn into the book. The characters, Marty, Rachel, Bex, Si and Joel all started to became more real. I still feel that it should be something that needed to be present from the first page.
If I had to built my review on only the first 50 percent, I would've given in a one star rating, but I give it a three and a half star because of how really invested I got around the 70 percent mark.
I wish so badly that this book could have been a 100 percent all the way. The characters was there, they were just not that interesting for me in the beginning. The plot was slightly weak but it did get little stronger during the end.
So the beginning and middle didn't really do it for me, but the last 40 percent or so, well done Yvonne. I really rooted for Rachel and Marty. I just struggled to get there.

Just Off The Path by Weston Sullivan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I actually entered this one into the Goodreads Choice awards as I do feel it's that good. The folklore theme is one of my favorites and although everyone is saying but it's been done so many times. There is a reason for it, as the old classic tales will never die. So deal with it.
Just off the Path follows a grown up Hansel and his sister Gretel.
All the other fantasy characters are there but all of them have really amazing human features of struggling etc, it reminds me a lot of the T.V Hit Once Upon a Time, but so different.
Snow is there, Rapunsel, but the original Rapunsel, not the one where they live happily after and let me tell you, she is not as sweet as you think.
The twists and turns is something you do NOT SEE COMING. Weston is a new author but man did he do Just Off The Path justice.
I hope everyone will love it and please go vote for him on the goodreads choice list. He truly deserve a spot on there.
