I Survived...

I survived a day of clothes shopping with two males... I thought for a while there I was going to go insane as I don't really like shopping--I'd much rather be at home writing. I had father (50) and son (13). 

The father continually  asking, "Well, what about this?" To which the son kept replying, "I don't know."

In the end with the help of a very wonderful guy from Jay Jays we managed to get the son outfitted. I swear to God it was more painful then when my daughter (24), drags me from store to store looking for stuff.

So that was yesterday... Today, I've locked myself in my office with instructions that people enter the room with the knowledge I may have to kill them for disturbing my peace... Today my boys from The Lines Of Marsden are calling to be heard.

It's Kinda Cool Today...

It's kinda cool today,

I might have to put on a jumper,

& a beanie,

before I head to Toowoomba. 

OMG...

I can't believe I totally blanked on who the bad guy was was in Richelle Mead's: Vampire Academy... So as you can guess I loved it.

Today The Lines of Marsden 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces is screaming at me -- apparently Doyle doesn't like have no memories and is starting to worry over some events in his life concerning Michael.

I'm not feeling 100% today, but I'm better than I have been of late. So if I'm lucky this stupid virus is going away. One can only hope.

I Got Sidetracked

I swear to God that I started off doing research on vampiric behaviour, and culture... I was determined to read as much as possible than one thing led to another and I suddenly found myself re reading the whole Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead... I don't know how I even got from one topic to the other. But, I will say this for the lady, for me she sure wrote Rose Hathaway's character perfectly. I'd actually forgotten how much I enjoyed these books the first time around... Next time I shouldn't wait so long before I read them.

I've been so good up until now with keeping on track, but recently I keep wanting to re read books I've had for yonks. Every time I go into my library the Claudia Gray's: Evernight series is calling to me. I don't know why I'm suddenly into reading the YA books again, but thus far I've really been enjoying them.

Beautiful According To Me...

These pictures I'm about to show are here because when I saw them for the first time I did a double take... There was just something about them that caught my eye so I thought I would share them with you, and explain what inspired me about them. I should point out that my characters only resemble these people in looks... I'm no way insinuating any of these people are gay, nor do my characters have their personality traits... It's more their faces that pulled me in.

I'm not even sure what it is about this picture, but I've had it for a while now and know that one day these two men will become main characters in one of my stories. Actually, they are already set aside for Day Walkers 2: Real You... they'll become my characters Tagh (Murtagh/blond/vamp) and Eric (Day walker/human)... though they feature in most books.

This guy we all know... Matt Tuck (Bullet For My Valentine) he inspired my Twin werewolves in The Lines Of Marsden (Maffa - Beta Matthew Farnell & Jaffa - Alpha Jasper Farnell). they entered the story in book 2: Living in Shadows and will feature throughout the rest of the series.

These two guys inspired me for the Sons Of Evenmore characters Mannix & Braxx blond twins mind you in my story one of them has longer hair and the other has a scar running down his face. Mannix was the star of book 1: The Crimson Grimoire.

I think everyone in the known universe knows Andy Six/Biersack (Black Veil Brides) He's my inspiration for Billy Martin in The Diamond Rose 1: Undiscovered Hearts... 

Have You Ever Been...

Have you ever been so busy that you don't know what you should be working on? I'm feeling a bit like that today

Then I have real life jumping in and demanding I take notice of what's going on. So I have to spend the arvo running errands out in the cold and wind in Toowoomba... sounds like fun... NOT!

While Waiting On Edits...

While waiting on edits... I'm currently working on three stories.

1- The Diamond Rose 1: Undiscovered Hearts

2- The Soul Guardians 1: Being Loved By Callum McKenzie

3- The Lines Of Marsden 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces

I've submitted Lancaster's Way 2: A Different Way Of Seeing... Hopefully I'll hear soon from MLRPress if it's been accepted or not.

Plus, I've reformatted Taking Chances 1: Lie To Me... as I was reading through the story I realised there are three story threads all tangled up together... so I'll need to separate them so each couple gets their own time to shine.
