Day Walkers

Day Walkers # 1: Real You.

This is a book I started writing about just over a year ago.  I sent it off to my proofer to get him to have a look-see to see whether I should keep it or toss it. he thinks that it is worth keeping and working on... so I thought I would tell you a bit about it and get some opinions.

Real You; is a book where I was trying something different in each book there is one HET couple and one MM couple... the first book is basically about twins Claudius and Hayden that are so alike that no one can tell them apart... Prophecy  says that when they find their True One (the one person that can tell them apart and willing to love them both) it will change the way of things.

Mara Gellic; is the boys True One, she comes into their lives and changes everything.  Not only for them but for all creatures across the world no matter what species.  With their mating; it breaks open many taboo's that were slowly killing off the different species.

Claudius and Hayden are Vampires; while Mara is human.

The second story in this book is between Eric who is a Day Walker for the vampire Daven, and Murtagh; who is a guild member and part of the Fey race.

Theirs is a special kind of love where not everything is as it seems. they both have secrets that must come out and be revealed before they ever have a hope in hell of being together.

Real You; is the first in the series of my Day Walkers. A Day Walker is a being that watches over the Vampire's during their death sleep. You become a Day Walker by being the person that is with the vampire as they go through their change.  so you never know who is going to end up with who... it could be anyone from family, to a complete stranger. Or as in Daven and Eric's case it might just be the person you are having a fist fight with at the time.

Works In Progress

Well I have decided to work on Windblown Kisses as my next project... Okay I will be doing it in tandem with my work on The Lines of Marsden. (but I don't want to do too much to TLOM until I hear back from the Publishing firm that I sent it too).

My Knight In Tarnished Armour... which is the first book out of Windblown Kisses... Has now been sent out to the Beta reader to make sure that it flows and makes sense and of course catches the eye.

I was going for more of a romance feel than an erotic story... I was hoping to write something like Andrew Grey's Love Means... series.  I will have to now wait until I get it back with added notes...

Books in Windblown Kisses will be:

1- My Knight In Tarnished Armour... Ray & Viv.

2- His Damsel In Disgrace... Declan & Asher.

3- Take Me As I Am... Jamie & Theodore (Bear)

They will follow through three generations of the Connelly family... They will follow a span of about a decade in their lives... At this moment I have no plans to add more, but you never can tell what will happen further down the track.

Short & Sweet

Just though I would tell you that I am making this a touching base day as I have a real bad headache... caused by being a dumbarse and walking into the shed door... Yes next time I will watch the hell where I am walking... My family is still laughing there arse's off... Any way I need a nana nap if I am to get up in time for Ethan's Gay Day...  Talk to you all tomorrow.

Tattoo Time.

Just thought I would share a little piece of me:

I know I was talking about my Tattoo the other day so I thought you might like to see what I was actually talking about.  This is 16+ hours and I still have another session on it.

This is on the same arm and was the beginning of my sleeve... this took 15+ hours to get this far. I am supposed to have the whole arm done by next March.

This one was my first Tattoo I ever got; it was 28+ hours and all done free hand... I had actually planned on getting a tattoo of David Bowie, but got talked out of it (He will be incorporated into my next full sleeve).

My one and only piece of advice if thinking of getting a tattoo is to think carefully as tattooing is for life... make sure it is something that you like... Hence the reason my other arm will be filled with beautiful according to me.

Ted Saddo of Sink The Ink; is not only a wonderful artist, he is my big brother.

Weekly Read

This week I am choosing my most favourite book to read; it is my happy book and quite often known as my revenge book; because it makes me laugh so much that it can become annoying for others... especially for my hubby when he is trying to watch some boring sport or another.

Okay; so you have guessed that I have chosen: As You Are- by Ethan Day.

This book has it all, it has you laughing, it has your crying and it has you wanting to reach through and slap Danny up the side of the head.

Julian & Danny are our main characters and I can guarantee that you will fall in love with them both. Mr Day has written them both to perfection... I would not have asked for them to be any different. The way their personalities play off each other is something that I have come to value.

Then throw into the mix Julian's mother Delilah, and his best friend Gabby and it makes the story just that much better. This is a book I have read so often that I feel like these characters are family.  Even just thinking about them has put a smile on my face.

Mr Day has written these character's so realistically that they instantly suck you into their world, and once there I know that you will want to revisit over and over.

Julian & Danny's love takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions; every time you think you have yourself under control something new happens that sets you off again.  This book is the one I grab when I am feeling down and I need a pick me up.  It is also the book I grab when I want a happily ever after... even when the way there is fraught with bumps in the road.

If asked to some this book up in less then ten words I would have to say:

Touch football; Dinner party & Break up scene.

This book has it all... I usually end up with telling you my favourite lines from the book. this one is something that Julian is thinking"

Oh yes, Momma.  I'm one tiny-ass shove away from the crazy house. He is doing an excellent job of taking care of me.

On that note I will say, thank you Mr Day for giving me a story that means so much to me... I think I may have to go and re read it again right now.

Admetus Gaea - Untamed World

Today I started work on Admetus Gaea - Untamed World, this is one of the first books that I ever started writing... It is about Grayson Taylor &  Lord Jondalar Arindad; Ruler of the Elven Kind. I have spent many years creating the world of Admetus Gaea; even creating the language and when in high school I would talk in it all the time just to piss off my teachers.

Though I lost the book for over twenty years and have only just recently found it again. so I have decided that it needed to be dusted off and brought back to life.  So that is what is on my agenda for the next couple of days.

I have sent My Knight In Tarnished Armour off to be proofed, before I attempt to find a publisher for it.

So at the moment I am at loose ends deciding what to work on next... also I am in the process of looking for a beta reader... just so that I can see if what I write flows and is appealing to the readers.  Well they are my plans for the rest of this week.

Short & Sweet

Hey this is just me touching base... had a long day today... just spent the last 5 hours getting a tattoo put on my inner arm... man does it hurt getting a tattoo put on the wrist.
