Recent Giveaway
My apologies everyone! I'm still learning my way around this site. And when I conducted my last giveaway, I mistakenly made ONLY Canada possible for the giveaway. I didn't mean to! I was actually trying to make it world wide, so everyone everywhere could appreciate my book. So to be fair, I promise my next book giveaway will be exclusively everywhere BUT Canada! I'll need a couple months, but I will give my book out all over the world people, you have my word on that.
As a side note See Through Love 2: Pyro is being written. If I have my way, I'm looking at a year end release. And See Through 3 is in the planning stages. I have ideas for further in the series too!
Just wanted to update everyone though, that I'll be making my book available for worldwide giveaways soon! Thanks for the interest!

Whoops... okay then.
Crapmonkeys, I see they suggest at least 10 books, to give away. Well shoot, I only have five. So do I proceed to give them away anyway? Or I have a big order coming in a few weeks, do I wait til then? Anyone got suggestions, let me know.
I'd also like to blog about my description of her invisibility, I've read books with similar invisible women. (The Trouble with Moonlight, Calling Invisible Women, Transparent) In my mind they don't go far enough. They're great books believe me. But I mean it's kinda the bare minimum describing, and as a reader I actually found my brain kinda skipping a moment as it's like "Oh YEAH she's invisible..." It's like my mind had to be reminded.
I paid special attention to that. I realized it didn't have to be beat to death. So I put some subtle reminders. Here's my reasoning, when reading your mind automatically is rolling a movie in your head as you read. As a writer you're painting a picture, so I feel certain moments we SHOULD be told about the handless sleeves, the floating skirt. the empty neck in the blouse, even the details or her bra inside. It draws a much better picture, and you're like "Wow! that's right she's invisible!"
I feel if your brain isn't reminded occasionally it ruins the image. I toned it down however so it isn't every time she disappears. But after all, it happens when she's aroused so expounding on what's not being seen makes description a little more appealing. Also when an individual is 'in plain sight' so to speak, you don't have draw the picture-- your mind does that, but when she's invisible and it's described a little it makes a better image for your mind to follow. See what I mean? It's a story-telling technique. Well time to dig into See Through Love #2. Talk soon!

Book giveaway!
Woo, I'm sorry folks! I promised book giveaways about a month ago. :-P
First of all, I'm hard at work on my second novel, which if all the dominoes are getting lined up (and they are) I'm looking to release later this year. This is going to be a series as some who've read it caught the hint. Page 394 btw... ;-)
So I've been seriously neglecting my prescence here, but that'll change now. I'm starting a 5 week book giveaway right now! Start by liking this post and then messaging me saying "I'd love a copy of your book!" Go... NOW.

I am a new author
Hello everyone! I recently published my first novel, titled See Through Love. It's about a woman who can become invisible at will, and she falls for the new gym teacher. It's the newest, BESTEST sci-fi, martial arts, comedy, drama, action adventure, spy thriller romance this year!
I am hard at work on #2 but I am so proud of my first book, that I've got 5 copies to give away. Starting next week, I am going to give away a copy a week, finishing with an exclusive hard cover at the end of January!
I have plans for a historical romance, but that'll be on the back burner for that time being. In the meantime I'm going to adjust to this site, and I invite anyone to friend me here. Looking forward to get to know new friends and authors!
