Patience

 "Patience"


Patience is, admittedly, not a strong suit of mine. I cannot stand waiting for things to happen. It's six days counting down until I hold my first novel published in my hands. Honestly, I wish that I could just go to sleep and wake up on Monday when my book (hopefully) arrives. I'm more anxious about this than anything else in my life, and it's driving me crazy. Unable to do anything but watch the clock, the seconds ticking slower than usual, the days creeping by.

Six days until I hold my book. Two-and-a-half weeks until my work is officially available to read. Then come the reviews. I have been waiting for this moment since mid-August. I'm fairly certain that I am driving my poor husband crazy with my anxiety. I know that riding shotgun through this emotional ride with me hasn't been too fun for him. I'm pretty sure he started screaming to be let off the ride a few months ago, but he's strapped in.

Excerpt from Chapter 13 - Foul language warning*

  Chapter 13 Pain shot through Jule’s head as she regained consciousness; the effects of the drug that was pumped into her bloodstream still lingering. She strained to open her eyes. The sunrise, with its blinding pink and orange light, peaked over the hill. She struggled to her feet, her body sore from lying on rocks and sticks for hours throughout the night. Still in a haze, she took in her surroundings and tried to piece together her broken memory. She remembered being with William by the fire, and then having to pee. “Oh no, William!” Panic swept through her again as she wasted no time in rushing back to the house. She burst in through the back door and frantically began searching for a phone. “The kitchen,” she said to herself as she darted towards it. A phone hung on the wall just inside the kitchen across from the sink. Jule grabbed the phone and immediately started punching in Loki’s number memorized by heart. Not a single signal came from the phone. Not even the be

I am terribly inconsistent...

I really am the worst at sticking to a schedule... For example, my blog. I'm supposed to be posting regularly, but hah... that certainly isn't happening. You get what you get with me! I can be sporadic and impulsive with anything in my life. So let me catch you guys up on what's been happening in my life! Book-Related news: My second book, More Than Wolf, was entered into a cover contest on AllAuthor during the month of December. It was a tight run, but we came out on top winning first place! What a great way to end the year. I am so thrilled for my best friend who designed the cover. She deserved that award! It really is a fantastic cover, and I'm not just saying that because it's on my book. I just recently unlocked a new author milestone by reaching S1,000.00 in total online royalties! That is counting from Nov 2020 when I first published More Than Human to Jan 2023. I never thought I would actually reach that number. I have sold a total of 932 books online - som

Interview With the Werewolf

 So, a few days ago I had my first interview. Now, this interview wasn't designed for me nor was I particularly sought out for said interview, it was more of an offer from another blogger for any new authors to help get their name out there. Nonetheless I was ecstatic! I mentioned to the author that it was my first interview ever and she reached out to another friend of hers who also conducts interviews for his IG and scored me second, more involved interview. I still don't know when the interview will be published, but this new one will be advertised and hyped up for about two weeks leading up to the drop of the entire interview. I'm super thrilled because I was also able to include two excerpts from my book (the two that I have previously shared here) getting a sample of my book out to new potential readers. I worry, though, that the segments that I chose don't do my story justice or aren't a good representation of what you're getting in my book.  I'm real
