Em's Turn

I picked this song because I really like this band..... Even Mum has seen them live with me.

Another Piece of Me

 

Recently  someone asked me me why I write? And the first words out of my mouth were: Why do you breath?

  Writing to me is just as necessary as breathing. My fingers are itching to start working as soon as my eyes open... and lately it has been in the wee hours of the morning. Vlad (my Muse) doesn't understand the need for sleep. If he is excited about something, then I need to be up and writing. Which I don't mind as it means that I will also be excited about it as soon as my brain kicks in.

  I don't plot... I know I have said that before... I am sure Vlad plots; he just isn't so forthcoming with me about it all... but working together as a team we do well.

  At the moment we are tossing up between two stories to work on... Harlin's Heart is book 1 in the Paying It Forward series, and the second book is On the Flipside of Reverse which will be book 2 in the Time Kings series and will be Kylfa and Tucker's story.

  I know that maybe my stories are not for everyone, but that doesn't matter to me... As long as one person enjoys something I have written then that has made it all worth it. These stories are in my head and it is just a matter of time before I get around to writing them all. If nothing comes of them publication wise I will still be happy knowing that I have left a little piece of me to be passed down through my own family.

  Family is another great thing about writing... My family may not understand why I write the M/M genre that I do, but they are all proud that I have achieved a small part of my dream.  I am not something to be hidden away like a secret. My family quite happily and proudly tells everyone what I do... so I think if they are not ashamed of me then why should I be? Not that I have ever been ashamed of being me. Their pride in me just allows me to be open about my writing choices.

  I say if you have an urge to write then do it... because someone somewhere will be willing to listen.

Weekly Read- Ally Blue

Easy by Ally Blue.

  This is one of the books that warms my heart, I fell in love with Stevie Sanger from the moment from the first heartbreaking moment where Dan Corazon finds him.  That was the moment that I realised that this was going to be an exceptional book. I must confide that this was the first book I have ever read by Ally Blue, but it wasn't the last, as this one story made me buy everything I could lay my hands on and I can tell you that I have enjoyed them all.

  Ally brought these characters to life beautifully and in such a way that it was hard not to let them worm their way into your heart. From Stevie's angst about his past to become the beautiful person he did was mesmerising to me. I loved that Stevie didn't let the world get him down.

  I also loved the fact that Dan had to fight his own inner demons to be able to accept who he really was. And not let the rest of society dictate to who he should be.

  Ally's writing flows so beautifully and tells such a wonderful tale that it is hard not to get emotionally involved with these characters.

  Other books by Ally Blue that I have enjoyed are as follows:

Bay City Paranormal Investigation series.

Eight Arms To Hold Me.

Fireflies.

Forgotten Song.

The Happy Onion.

Untamed Heart

Willow Bend.

  There are many more that I could recommend but I just wanted to give you a starting place. If you haven't read any of her work then I say give Ally a chance because I know that you will enjoy her work as much as I do.

Em's Turn... For Gabe

I like this song because there is a dancing Ninja in it... This one goes out to you Gabe... you know that you are our Ginger Ninja...

What's Happening

Well I have finally finished playing catch up on emails etc. I am now going to settle down and begin writing... I have finally come up with the remaining stories in my Windblown Kisses series... Book 4 will be: Less than Perfect; which will be about Daniel and Asher... Book 5 will be: The Boy with the Broken Smile; which will be about Declan and Sean...

I have recently submitted Windblown Kisses to Samhain for consideration... there is a 12-16 week waiting period... so everyone keep you fingers crossed that they like it.

I'm Back!!!

Okay, I am officially back... I had a great time in America... there were a few people who I didn't get to see that I wished I had of... (You know who you are)... but on the whole America is a great place to visit... but I am glad to be home... Two places I absolutely loved were New Orleans and Bloomington, Indiana... for those of you that live in and around there, your towns are awesome...

I am still running on lack of sleep so I will get back to normal tomorrow and I know I have to play catch up with my blog story... I think... so I will be busy doing that as well as working on my edits for TLOM... I have to change it a tad, but it is all good... it can only make it better.

I have so many idea's for new books that I think I will be busy for a good long while... hopefully you will all stick with me... I have to do a bit more thinking on them before I start talking about them but I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't slack while I was away... Well I mostly wasn't slack... It is good to be home though; I missed my family, and my computer... I'm not actually sure which one I missed the most though... 

Hope you all enjoyed Em doing my blog for me... she may even make a reappearance in the future, even if it is just to post her favourite music clips... I was surprised that there wasn't more Matt Tuck on there... Okay, I will talk to you all again tomorrow.

Music & Other Random Thoughts

To every-one out there, this is my last blog post as my mum will be home tomorrow, so talk to you another time maybe, probably not though.. lol... I hope you all enjoyed my strangeness.
