The Pace gets translated in to 3rd language
What better way to celebrate The Pace's 10 year anniversary than to announce it is about to be published in its 3rd language! The story behind this is amazing.

Hi Shelena!! Currently reading the broken lake, borrowed by the latin books tour. It's so good I can't put it down! Thanks so much for donating it so we could have the chance to read it too!!
Lacey wrote: "Okay, I know I came into this series late and all but I thought both books were AMAZING! I just finished Broken Lake. I simply cannot wait for August!! Thanks so much for caring for your characters..."Thank you Lacey! I'm really happy you enjoyed them! And thank YOU for caring for the characters too. Your compliments and enthusiasm definitely motivate me to sit down for another writing session :D!
Okay, I know I came into this series late and all but I thought both books were AMAZING! I just finished Broken Lake. I simply cannot wait for August!! Thanks so much for caring for your characters and nurturing them in a way that only their creator can do!! Keep on writing, never let any obstacle get in your way!!

The conclusion will be book 4. I've had some requests for a prequel, so who knows, maybe one day!
Do you know at this point if it's a 3, 4, 5+ book series? Good luck on the final edits! :)

Thanks! But I feel that my second draft will blow the first out of the water. lol. I'm changing up a lot, adding more premise to it, more characters, and trimming a good bit. Seemingly, I don't know how to write a book under 100k words. lol. It's VERY hard for me! lol.
Oh YEAH I'm splitting it up into two books! lol. The next one will be "Time With Seleste-Fate." It's an in all conclusion to the story, which I've worked my butt off working on a perfect ending. lol.
ANYWAYS, I got to ranting there. Sorries! lol :D
I do have faith in Wes! haha. He makes me drool, he's so yummy. haha.
And thanks! About my picture!
