Crazy summer, but I am back on track!
It has been a crazy summer for me and not particularly a good one. However, I must say with hard work and determination things are now moving in a more positive way. Life sure does get crazy when you are focusing on work and family and sometimes you forget about the more important things like living. This year I have been so driven on creating the multiple streams of income with my eBooks, that I pretty much left the writing sites where I make decent money alone. I realize now in hindsight what a huge error that was. I need to find a way to work on everything during the day so that nothing is left out. The only way to do that is to write a list in a spreadsheet and follow it daily. I simply made a list of all the web sites that I do something on in a column of the spreadsheet. As I do something on that site, I can just simply add a number of articles or ratings I did for it and simply move on to the next. I have also left time at the end of the day for the creative writing, which I love to do. This should keep me focused. ~~Goals do not happen as life does.

New eBooks Paranormal Romance series Paisley is published
In the summer of 2008 I wrote a short story for a contest. That short story gave birth to my favorite character, a white witch named Paisley. Since that time, on and off between writing content, a part time job and living life I have been writing her life stories as I found a few spare hours.
I decided long ago to make these a series. Much like Amanda Hocking did with her books. Jennifer Malone Wright who I have known for a few years also made her Vampire Hunter’s Daughter story into a series.
Like their series, mine is paranormal as well. How could a portal jumping white witch story not be paranormal? Once Paisley meets Joe, it turns into a romance of sorts. She loves him and without a doubt he loves her. Will they ever get together in that special way that lovers do? Your guess is as good as mine. Like you I am simply watching their tale unfold.
The Gift is the first part of the series. Paisley and Joe are two old friends, who love each other deeply and have for decades. Her royal heritage forbids her from acting out any form of love with a mortal man. Readers will see she often breaks the rules when it suits her, because her heart leads her astray. In this edition of the paranormal romance series, they have a gift exchange straight from the heart.
Purple Flames is the second adventure. This story is based on the one that was submitted to that contest, so you might say this started it all. Paisley noticed Joe is not his usual self, what is she to do? Her herbs and poultices can only do so much to help. She spends time some time with a client named Sarah, while contemplating Joe’s condition. When she realizes the extent of his condition she makes the ultimate sacrifice in order to cure him.
A Paisley Christmas is the third adventure in the series. This one is based on the one I wrote for the Dark Christmas book the Circle 8 Writers group published, but I revised it. Its Christmas time and Paisley is headed home for the Yule festival. Her special friend awaits her, and truthfully she is more excited about seeing him than she is her family. She is nervous that Joe might be mad at her for saving his life. Come and celebrate Yule in the Eternals with Princess Paisley and her family.
The first book is free, so please go over and download it (link is up there) and leave a review. Have a great day. |
