NEW RELEASE DAY FOR DEFIANCE
It is my pleasure to announce that Defiance will be released in ebook format on Halloween! My favorite holiday!!!

After being turned into the one thing Dean hates most in his life of tragedies, he has to cope with his new life and his old memories that he wishes to forget. Dean is not alone in thinking he is an abomination, the slayer world he was once a part of, is now after him and anyone else aiding in his survival. Dean will stop at nothing to have Mindy in his arms again and to protect her from the fate being forced upon her.
In the third installment to The Affliction Series, friendships will be tested, rivalries will unite, and love will dominate his hate.

Hi everyone!!!First off, I need to apologize to all of you for not responding to my blog posts sooner. To tell you the truth, I don't really check my blog, but I will from now on. It surprised me to see all those posts! I didn't think I had so many fans! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my books and especially for letting me know that you loved them!Now, the question on everyone's mind is, when is book 3 coming out. :D Unfortunately, I'm a slowwwww writer and I can't have it out to you all soon. I'm thinking it will be ready in the summer of 2013? Sorry for the long wait! :/For updates on what I'm up to, please visit Captivated's facebook page.I am also going to start keeping up with my blog. I have a vamperific giveaway coming really soon and I found a model for my third book cover! So, I will be posting info on that too!Thank you so much for your patience and again, I am so sorry for not responding sooner! I promise that I will be on top of it, it just might take me a bit because there are so many emails I also have to catch up with. I love you all!!!! *MUAH*

Everyone....please, not every book copies Twilight! If you don't compare (by saying they are copying) books to that series...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! If you do, please think about it. :( 

I've seen in so many places that readers are claiming that Vampire Diaries copied Twilight. It was written years before Twilight and so was the love triangle. Different point of view switches have been around too. 
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the series when I read it, but I have never thought another book copied it just because there was a new student. Or it sounded like Jacob because the guy was buff and shirtless. If there are sparkly vampires or....well sparkly vampires in a different book, THEN it is obviously copying. 
I'm not saying this as an author because I have noticed this before I started writing. I am saying this as an annoyed reader that does not agree that Fallen by Lauren Kate or Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick has copied Twilight. Even the Hunger Games has been accused by readers of copying because of a love triangle. 
Sorry...I had to vent this out. I'm not trying to trash Twilight, I'm just saying that not every book copies it.
