Poetry Train

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone. :)

Untitled

Only the foolish believe in the fairy tales of children.

The feeble minds of dreamers chase the dragons in the air.

Hopeful promises are accepted as the truth.

It is the strong that know that fairy tales don’t exist.

Those who have found the world a cold place to live.

The people who have forced the dreams from their minds.

They have listened to the voices that lie.

They have chosen to live in a bleak world.

A world without Unicorns and kings.

A place that doesn’t have magic or hope.

There are no Gods in their world to help with hurts.

Would you rather be feeble or strong?

Alone or surrounded by the gods of old?

Chasing Dragons or suffering death of the soul?

The Vanguard

Hey everyone I posted a new excerpt at SiN for The Vanguard. Stop by and check it out. :)

Pimping Friday....

The first one is Amanda Young's Pyromancer. I admit I haven't read it yet, but the cover's yummy. :)

Stop over to Loose-Id to check it out and stop by Amanda's site to see what else she has going.

The next book is One Good Hand by Rowan McBride. I read this book when it was available at a different publisher. I love the cover...done by the marvelous Anne Cain of course. :)

Stop by Loose-Id to check this one out as well. Check out Rowan's site to see what else is going on in his world.

I hope you all have a great Friday. :)

CAPAs

Every year The Romance Studio presents the Cupid and Psyche Awards for excellence in romantic and erotic fiction. And this year, Angel's Evolution was nominated in the Historical Erotic Romance category.

Hope you all have a great day.

Wow...it's been a while since I've posted my updates. lol. Of course, the last couple of weeks have been screwed up anyway. :)

Where the Devil Dances: 25,231/30,000 (2,504 words)

Dreaming of Dragons: 2,106/50,000 (413 words)

His Heart's Home: 5,975/50,000 (0 words)

To Hell with the Devil: 10,839/30,000 (2,377 words)

That gives me a total of 5,294 words written on these four stories. Being sick really kicked my butt last week, so I didn't lift a pen or did anything remotely like writing. :( But that's okay. I'm feeling a lot better and getting back into the swing of things. The next week will be busy, but I'll squeeze in as much writing time as I can.

Hope you all have a great day.

Poetry Train...

One Day

One day at a time
Is how love is built
A single kiss
A simple look

You asked for nothing except
A single day
A moment out of time with
No expectations of more

Willingly I gave it
Never knowing a day
Would become a life
A foundation for love to grow

Two weeks together
Is how love is built
Ten kisses
Ten glances

Our worlds intertwined
Our roads merged
Love strengthened
Need blossomed

Songs were sung
Dances danced
Nights spent loving
Forging unbreakable bonds

Two lives living
Is how love is built
Kisses shared
Looks given.

Promises made.

Still Sick..

I'm still sick, but I thought I'd give you something pretty to look at..lol. I'll try to get the next installment up tomorrow, ok? It's been a long time since I've been this sick. Ugh! Sitting in a chair is difficult when all I want to do is curl up and sleep.

Have a great day and I'll get the next bit down for tomorrow. And yes, we are getting close to the end of the story.

I hate Winter....

due to yet another cold that I've managed to catch, the next installment will be late. Depending on when I drag my butt back out of bed, it might not be up until tomorrow.

Sorry and I hope everyone is happy and healthy. :)

Poetry Train

Silence

Silence

A living cancer

Eating life

Destroying love

I walk through rooms

Filled with ghosts

Of love failed

And lives gone

My heart used to sing

To the words racing on the wind.

My blood used to race

To the melody of the leaves.

Now there’s only…

Silence

A living cancer

Eating life

Destroying love

No songs

My music gone

Empty is my world

Of the joy I once knew.

New Excerpt

I'm sharing with you the picture I put up on the SEx blog...where I posted a new excerpt from The Vanguard. Stop by and say hi. :)

Wednesday WiPs

Another Wednesday. This week is moving faster than I thought it would.

I submitted Home of His Own to LSB. Just waiting to hear back from them on it. So as soon as I get the news, I’ll let you all know.

Went through my first set of edits for Out of Bounds, my April release from Samhain. Not bad. Didn’t leave me shaking my head wondering why my editor ever agreed to publish the thing…lol.

On to the word counts:

Dreaming of Dragons: 1,693/50,000 (31 words) –I do have more written out, just haven’t gotten to type it in yet.

Where the Devil Dances: 22,727/35,000 (1,477 words)- I’ve dropped the word count down because I believe we’re getting close to the end and I know it’s not going to hit 50k.

His Heart’s Home: 5,975/50,000 (2,547 words) Have lots more written out along with poems/songs for each chapter…or I hope that’s how it’s going to work out.

That gives me 4,055 words for the week. I wrote 22,364 words in November which added to my previous total gives me 348,577 words written from Jan.-Nov. I don’t remember how much I wrote last year. I might have to go back and see if I can figure it out.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Poetry Train

Alone

I wander through crowds
Searching for a touch
Yearning for a voice
Someone to hear
To tell me I have a choice.

Alone is easy.
Lonely is hard.
Chasing a dream,
Knowing it isn’t
In the cards.

Dreaming of forever
Dealing with for now
Understanding freedom
Wishing to be bound.

I can be alone and love it.
I fear being lonely
With no one to cherish
To be no one’s one and only.

Alone is easy.

Lonely is hard.

Chasing a dream,

Knowing it isn’t

In the cards.
