New addition; New beginnings

Thursday, May 19th, I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into my world. Roman was born at 5:23pm and weighed in at 7lbs 13.3oz. He is absolutely precious; of course, I am a bit bias being his mom and all. His birth was a great time of reflection. He’s giving me that extra ummph to really get things done. So, my new goal is to have Vamp Yourself for War out by his 1 month birthday, June 19th. In the meantime, keep checking back as I plan to upload a sneak peek :)

Lots of love,

Distribution

After many distribution issues through one central publisher, I have now pulled out and published individually via Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It is still available, and will continue to be available, on iTunes (Apple), Sony, Kobo and Diesel. This was necessary to correct the issues I’ve encountered via the distributor specifically with the above two channels. I’m hoping the book will be available within the next 1-3 days worldwide on all the major sites.

I’ll be sure to update you all once it’s available on the biggies!

Sleep Deprived…

Falling asleep after everyone and waking up before everyone and hearing their snores and wonderful dreamy bliss in between is torture for a human. I’ve been suffering in a semi-insomniac state for years now, though it’s gotten worse more recently. It all makes me wonder exactly what it would be like to be one of those blessed vampires who doesn’t need sleep. As a mom, I would have enough time everyday to do all my “chores,” errands and anything else that wiggles its way onto my to-do list all while still retaining some “me” time. Imagine how many books I could write if I had 24 fully functional hours a day to do things?! That would be heaven!

But… then again, maybe not. Just how quickly would I become bored? Because part of the package deal is immortality; forever. You can only write & edit for so long, learn so many new languages, venture throughout so many continents, etc. Reading I would/will never tire of, especially with the mountain of new fabulous books constantly popping up, yet even with lower e-book prices, I would still need a good supply of cash to support my habit. As a human, it’s nothing for me to finish an entire book in merely a couple hours; with vamp speed, I’d be going through at least 3 a night! Hmm, when I think of all the books I would like to read though, if I had unlimited time, it’s suddenly seeming a bit more enticing :)

Suddenly there are more good aspects to being a modern day vampire, at least according to the books, than bad. Perhaps I am a bit uneducated on the subject though. Where, oh where, is Lexi or Kellan when I need them? ;)

Here’s to all you out there getting more sleep than me!
