Elicia Clegg's Blog

My grandma Betty, My grandpa Stan, My father Merrill, My brother Aaron, My uncles: Randy and Gary. My cousin Jeremy, My In-laws: Grandpa and Grandma Petersen, My Father In-law Ken. My close friend Charles. Several of my friends fathers and the list goes on.

I deal with death by crying....Yes, let it all out. Crying is a good way of letting the physical body feel and then purge the sadness of never being able to see that person on Earth again. And of course time, nothing heals better than time.


Now the question I have for you is...do you believe we sometimes dream about Heaven?


Do we sometimes dream about those we love and is the dream real? Or is the dream just a dream?


I sometimes believe they are real, and if so it leaves me with a good feeling of hope. I have seen my father several times, stuck in a weird limbo of his own mind. It has been so many years and for years I dreamt he was stuck in his store that he owned, and each time I saw it the store grew older and more warn down. Recently however he was finally out of the store, this gives me hope he will soon be born again and live happily this time and not lead a life that will cause him and others so much pain.


Last night I had a wonderful dream that my cousin Jeremy was briefly in. I was walking out of my sister in-laws and friend Camilla's house. The phone rang and she stopped me saying it was for me, which was weird because no one knew where I was there.


I was saying hello? hello? and I hear Jermey's voice. Then I notice the same music playing in the living room as on the phone. I turn around and there he was.


Jermey was no longer sick, he looked as he did as a child, but in man form, like he was 24 or 25 but healthy. I ran up and held so tightly to him as I looked and saw he had 2 boys looking after him, he was a father...which in life he never was. It was so wonderful, and then I woke up....I woke up and had forgotten he was gone and was about to call him and then remembered....WAM!!!


Nothing like forgetting someone has passed for a second as you go to call them to pull you back down to earth. It was a shocking feeling, but I am happy for him, and hope the dream was real because he was finally happy, healthy, and loved by two beautiful little boys.


To all who have lost, which we all have or will at some point....It will be okay eventually, keep trying to move forward and know that one day the pain will ease and you will only have the good feelings when you remember them.

Only 5 more days until my newest novel: Running With Chaos hits shelves. get more info at www.eliciaclegg.com

I have been working on a new story that will be released through Ebooks as a means to get a bigger audience, though I am still holding on to Running with Chaos and waiting it out, would love to see it in many book stores.

Is it wrong to fall in love with a character you create? I sit here and I wonder how many authors do just that. I created the character Exzavier, for Vexation (Book original title was Exzavier) before I created any other character. He was the first, so I suppose he will forever remain immortalized in my heart.
I have a back drop story for him, which I may or may not publish. I thought I could use this opportunity to speak about each character were and why they are who they are.
If you have read the book you only received bits and peaces of information on him, you also know the grandfather calls him Exzavier, though his real name is Cole. He was only four years old when the Grandfather stole him from his parents by setting their house on fire and making it look like Exzavier did it...obviously we all know he didn't...but what happened after that...what got him from 4 to 17?
I would like to create an entire story around it and will post little ideas here on him and other characters. I hope all is well for everyone out there. :)

I have been working so hard on Running with Chaos and have found myself in a quandary for the ending. I have written several different versions. I wonder if the great authors of the world have this problem? I have decided the real problem is this stream of endless series books....the more I read them the harder it is to come up with an actual ending that is not really a start point for the next book.

Don't get me wrong I like a few series books...I was addicted to the 'True Blood'/ "Sookie Stackhouse" series...the notion of attractive vampires is always oddly attractive....and as a kid, VC Andrews...forget about it, she was all I read.

Alright...Back to work. I swear today I am going to pick the ending and stick with it!!

Any one read any good on-line books today?

I suppose I should not read the reviews I get, but alas I have to, it's in my nature to know what people think about me and my work. I do have to apologize for the horrific grammar. I did not edit the book myself and made the mistake of not double checking for easy mistakes: choose, choice. concur, conquer, brake, break, lay, lie lying, laid, barley, barely, and the list goes on.
With that I do promise Running with Chaos will not have the same mistakes (though I am sure someone somewhere out there will find some) :)

I would like to start a discussion about Vexation, I wrote it a very long time ago and just recently was published. I have read some people do not understand the ending, I wouldn't mind discussing it with them.

So here is my invitation. You need to know something about the book just let me know: EliciaBooks@gmail.com
