You never forget your first; First boyfriend, first kiss, first love, first time, first heartache. Without You, is my first book. Who would have thought a Book could mean so much to a person. Until I started writing one, I sure didn’t. There is something absolutely thrilling about writing a book. OHMEGEE, IM WRITING A BOOK! As thrilling as it is, it’s also terrifying. What if no one likes it? That thought alone has almost stopped this journey so many flippen times. But with the support of my amazing hubby, I’ve stuck with it. Now I’m here, writing this. This is my first blog on Goodreads. If you asked me a year ago if I would ever be writing a blog on Goodreads I would have laughed. With that said, I would like to thank every one of you who have taken interest in Without You. I can’t even express how much it means to me. To show you my gratitude I have included a few teasers. I hope you enjoy them. Have a beautiful rest of the week!

{When he kisses me I don’t stop him. I let him kiss me because I want to feel something, something other than broken. I want to feel anything besides pain. I want to pretend I’m a normal teenage girl running off with a hot guy, on the fourth of July, without a care in the world. I want to be the girl I was before. Before my mom died, and I started faking being okay. I let him kiss me because it feels insanely good, and I almost feel better. I almost feel normal, I almost feel okay. Almost.}


{It’s not like I have some delusional idea that him and I are going to run off into the sunset and live happily ever after. I don’t believe in that happily ever after shit. I know better, it doesn’t exist. People hurt you and betray you. And in the rare chance that you do find real death do you part love. Death fucking does you part. Just ask my dad. Happily ever-after’s are a myth.}

I am one unhappy girl. Why, you ask. I’m sad to report that I’m sick. Yep, the stupid cold that makes you feel like death. Otherwise known as it less offensive name: the Flu. :’( has consumed my body. It’s trying to take my mind as well, but have no fear I will battle it to the death. Okay I may have gone a bit over board with the theatrics. Come to think of it maybe the flu already got to my mind? OH…..NO! Does this mean Without You had no of hope of ever being finished…. Dun,dun, du, duuuuuh! Okay, okay I’m just kidding. Well not about the being sick part. Yep that still sucks. But I am still working on Without You every free chance I get. Please understand I have been in a coma of sickness this week. So I’m a bit behind. Not a lot, just a bit.  But as I Promised… I have a Teaser for you. Oooh, but that’s not all. Not only will you get this teaser but if you go to my Facebook Author Page, you will find and exclusive teaser. Pretty exciting, right?

Now without further delay, Your Teaser Pleaser:
Jordan stopped outside my door to check out my photos. He dropped my hand and pointed at one of Brent and me. It was taken on my 18th birthday. I was sitting on Brent’s lap; we had just gotten into a cake fight and were covered in frosting. That picture captured a moment when I was blissfully happy. It hurt to think that just a few months later my whole world would implode, plaguing every memory with the black stamp of before. Before she was gone, before I knew what heartbreaking pain felt like, before I hated the world, before… when life was perfect.
“How do you know him?” he asked. His voice was tight and edged on angery. Was he jealous at seeing me in a phone with another guy? I laughed. “Brent? He has been my Brothers best friend for, like ever. He’s lived with us for years.” I explained.
Jordan stepped away from me and leaned against the wall. He let his head hit it and I wasn’t sure what was going on with him. “What’s wrong?” I asked. He was starting to worry me. He slid down the wall. I kneeled down next to him. “Baby, talk to me.” I begged. Jordan looked at me his eye full of what seemed like regret. What the fuck was going on?
“Out of all the people in the world, you have to be her?” He exhaled.

OOOOOH! I bet you are dying to know what happens next. You will just have to wait for Without You.

Wow, how time flies when you are sick. The month of March and I did not get along. Which is actually sad, because it was my birthday month. Granted there were some moments, and a few days of happiness. Most of March I was sick. Blah. Not even the good kind of sick. You know the kind where you have a cough, go to the doctor, get meds, and then get better kind of sick. Nope. I’m talking about the painful, horrible disabling kind. That a month later is still in full swing hatred of me. Yep I’m talking about the Multiple Sclerosis flare up kind of sick. Suck it MS you suck. Well that is why I have been mia. But I refuse to let my disease stop me from reaching my goals. I may have been benched for a while, but I have continued to write. Sadly, most of that writing was drug induced crap that got deleted when I reread it. Side note: warning while under the use of prescription pain pills, one should not shop online. My hubby was not too happy about the fiasco. Happy Birthday to me!!!
Just saying. Learn for my mistakes, it’s a bad idea. :p
But I’m sure what you are all dying to hear about is, WITHOUT YOU. Well I am writing the end. It’s coming along. Even if it’s coming along slowly. But it will be done well before I have to turn it into my editor in July. My numb hands have been a challenging to work with, but I am determined and that is all I need to finish this book. Just know that when you read this book it was written but someone who truly loves her story and could wait to share it with you. If you even have any question or want to reach me you can get a hold of me on Facebook or through email.
