<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wasn’t going to announce this yet, but I just HAVE to! I am bringing them back! YES! I AM!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a lot of people know, when I finished writing the Bloodlines Trilogy, a part of me died with it. This story, and especially the characters, mean more to me than words can say (and I’m a writer, I should know!). They saw me through some very dark times in my life and gave me a way to escape what was happening to me at the time. For some time, other than my family, they were the only friends I had (no sympathy or sadness please, I don’t do sympathy). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I finished writing Revelations, it was like a part of my heart and soul died. I haven’t been able to write properly since. I know it sounds crazy, but it really did have that much of an effect on me. I released Revelations in 2013, it’s now 2017 and I have only written two books since. TWO! And while I love the new characters in these stories, they will never mean as much to me as those found in Bloodlines. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year, I briefly spoke to my mum about my writing and my thoughts on these books. Of course, she already knew what they meant and the effect no longer spending time with the characters was having on me. She said, “Bring them back.” I told her I’d already thought about it, but wasn’t sure whether I should or not. It’s haunted me ever since I wrote the last words of Revelations. The thoughts of bringing my beloved characters back have never left me, and the need to do it has only grown stronger as time has passed by. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While spending Christmas with the other half, and after listening to the Bloodlines Soundtrack (yes, it does have one. A damn good one lol). I decided to get another opinion. I explained about the books, what they meant to me, what they had done for me, and how I felt. He then told me I clearly wasn’t finished with the characters. That they were screaming in my head and heart for a reason. Then told me I should “Do it!” That I had the storyline, that I could do it justice and in a nutshell, “What was I waiting for?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, after a little more thought, panic setting in, and then sheer damn delight and determination, I made my decision. They are coming back. Another trilogy has been born. The storyline is fierce, heartbreaking, and strong. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I feel complete again. I can’t wait to start it. However, these books need to be written in third person, and since the first three books are in first, that means a re-write of the whole trilogy. I can’t wait for that either. My writing has grown so much over the last few years, that I’m actually happy to be bringing the books up to the level I’m at now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I AM ABSOLUTELY OVER THE MOON! EXCITED! MY PASSION IS BACK! I was literally dancing and smiling my head off around the kitchen, listening to the soundtrack at full volume (and making my ears ring) at 4am this morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Don’t worry, the other books will also be written for my other stories too.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I put nerves aside and uploaded my photographs to some of the stock image sites. It's a long and rather tedious process, and you have to wait days... sometimes even over a week to have any of your images confirmed. That is for every single photograph you upload. However, I'm now officially a verified photographer with Fotolia! YUP!! I have my own little profile on there. You can view it by clicking <a href="https://en.fotolia.com/p/206123739/partner/206123739" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
There aren't too many on there at the moment, and yes, I'm waiting for more to be confirmed by them, but the collection will grow substantially over the next few months. It will also include models. Very excited. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from the other sites!<br />

<b>Serina Hartwell – Author of The Hidden Saga</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J0MYX-kgmVc/VqTzAGWszSI/AAAAAAAACng/lYqCcz8qf1o/s1600/12546028_579828278837023_1198946200_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J0MYX-kgmVc/VqTzAGWszSI/AAAAAAAACng/lYqCcz8qf1o/s320/12546028_579828278837023_1198946200_o.jpg" width="201" /></a></div>
Hidden, was the first thing I ever decided to write as a creative writer. I’d written throughout my various careers, but only in a business sense. Hitting the keys for first the time, I didn’t treat it seriously at all. I just wanted to try it, because I had the strongest urge to do so, but never expected to take it seriously. I’d been through a really tough period of my life and knew that I needed to make some major changes. Everything that had gone before, was going to have to change. I’d danced with the Old Grim Reaper, and he has a habit of stepping on your toes. If nothing else, he serves as a stark reminder that time was slipping away and I needed to stop wasting my life. A poignant, but sobering thought.<br />
Going for those dreams that you’ve always had stored at the back of your mind, is easier said than done. Becoming a writer, had been a glimpse of an idea, when I was a teenager. One day, one of my English teachers set me a piece of homework, to write a story. It could be anything we wanted, except it had to be four sides of A4 paper. I recall laying on my bed, doing my homework at the last minute and a story forming on my page. It was my first taste of creative writing that I can remember having an impact. I suppose the thing which stuck with me most was the feeling of frustration, because I filled those pages quicker than any piece of homework I’d ever done before and I’d run out of paper. I couldn’t finish my story.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s8fad3yfWCM/VqTzG9QfJNI/AAAAAAAACno/pxUq2tBsQYY/s1600/12562458_579828318837019_735674667_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s8fad3yfWCM/VqTzG9QfJNI/AAAAAAAACno/pxUq2tBsQYY/s320/12562458_579828318837019_735674667_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The day I sat in my garden, waiting to write my novel, Hidden, that particular thought came flooding back. All those feelings of needing to finish what I’d started were right back with me and I had a sense that I’d finally found it. Hitting the keys felt so comfortable - the missing piece in my life - the thing I’d been looking for my whole life was writing. It was that obvious, I was supposed to be a writer.<br />
Initially, nerves got the better of me as I nervously began to type. How do you start a book when you don’t even have any ideas? I can assure you it’s not as difficult as it sounds. I sat there, looking at the ‘I’ bar for what felt like an eternity, not even knowing what to write. Eventually, I just began to describe what was going on around me. The feeling of freedom that came when I began to type, was unreal.<br />
The thought occurred to me that I should stick to what I knew best. It’s the advice that is always given to writers. My immediate thoughts were to write a horror. The likes of Stephen King, James Herbert and Joseph Glass, tentatively sprung to mind. This was my favourite genre; I could see myself writing a horror, no problem, so that what Hidden started out as - a horror, but as my fingers hit the keys and a story began to take shape, it took a completely different direction. Although, there are some aspects of horror and the paranormal in, The Hidden Saga, it ended up being a fantasy instead.<br />

I read the, Vampire Diaries, by L.J. Smith and then the, Twilight Saga, by Stephenie Meyer, and ran out. I was so gutted that I’d torn my way through everything that these two authors had to offer me and I wanted more, but had to wait. They had taken me back to the feelings I hadn’t had since I was a teenager. Putting me back in touch with these feeling had unlocked something inside me which broke to the surface, because it made me want to sit behind a computer and begin to write. I enjoyed the emotions that these two writers had provoked inside me. They made me feel young again, and remember the innocent feelings you have with your first love. I suppose the crux of the matter was that I didn’t want to let go of those feelings. I wasn’t ready and needed another fix.<br />

<br />
The Hidden Saga, was never ever going to be another Twilight or Vampire Diaries. They’d already been done and were so good that I wouldn’t dare to spoil them, by attempting to create a carbon copy, but I was influenced by the love angel in both stories.<br />
Over the years of writing and playing with my skills by writing across many genres to see what kind of writer I was, I slowly came to realise that I can tell one hell of a love story. Love, being the strongest emotion of all, I knew that I wanted to work with this one, but there were problems with that. Firstly, love didn’t fit with the kind of horror I had in mind, and secondly, I always like to put a twist to my stories, so I already knew that my story would be enjoyed by the readers of those series, but they wouldn’t necessarily be looking to read a horror. My saga had to be completely different and stand in its own right and the horror story in my head would have to wait to be written some other time. <br />

<br />
As a child, I had always spent every waking hour outside of the house. I loved the overgrown land which lay behind the houses where I lived. The derelict mills, which surrounded my street and the freedom every summer brought, to play out longer with my friends. I’ve tried to reflect upon these happy memories in, Hidden, but of course I’ve tainted them with a dark side in my books. All the areas that were out of bounds were my playground. I still recall the emotions of knowing I would be in trouble if my friends and I were caught there, but the temptation being too great.<br />

Later in life, I moved away from the village; away from the mills which lay empty, or converted, but still looking over them as part of my new landscape. My new home boarded onto a beauty spot, which was like an oasis of paradise and so secluded that you could walk right past it and not know it was there. This was a forest with a lake in the centre, hidden across a hillside and valley. The woods surrounding the lake, so thick, that unless you were willing to hike to the lake, you wouldn’t know about it. This place soon became my favourite place and as my children were growing up, it became our escape for walks after school and on hot summer’s days. A place of seclusion where I could think and relax enough to sort my thoughts out. I often felt so at peace there, that’s where I began to develop the idea of the family’s deep, dark secret. You will go to this place with me throughout the Hidden Saga. It’s my way of sharing this secret place with my followers. <br />

There is a chapter in, Hidden, where Bronte, the main character, gets lost in the woods and finds a thermal around a tree. This is actually based on something that happened to my friend and I, as we were taking her dog for a walk. We walked to a part of the woods that we’d never been to before and her dog started sniffing around a tree. As we both approached, we could feel warm air rising, as though someone had installed a heater beneath the surface of the rotting leaves that carpeted the floor.<br />
There was a definite boundary to it, and we both walked around the tree several times, unable to understand why it was there. We tried the same thing with the surrounding trees, but couldn’t find any more thermals. In the end, we both settle to appreciate that it was an amazing experience and not our place to question it, but just to accept and enjoy it. All these little experiences have stayed with me and become a part of my story.<br />
The Hidden Saga grew very quickly. It was almost like a flood gate had been opened and couldn’t be closed again. I know now that there’s no way to close this until that flood is on my page. It has taken on many transformations over time and I feel it will keep on changing as I get it all out of my head and get it right. I sometime sit back and even surprise myself, when I see what I’ve come up with. I’m always looking for a new twist, a hidden meaning, reading between the line and misdirection. I love to see people’s reactions when they think it’s going to be one thing, but actually it turns out to be something completely different.<br />

One thing I do know, is that the Saga has many more books to it. This is a huge story and every time I think it can’t get any bigger, it just does. I won’t be surprised if it’s an epic by the time I’m done, because you should see what I’ve got coming.<br />
It has been my pleasure to write and share Hidden with you. I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The second book in the series is called, Trapped, and will be coming very soon. I just can’t wait to get back behind my keyboard and get writing again, so I shall bid you farewell, because that’s where I’m heading now. Don’t forget to share your thoughts with me, about Hidden. I love to know what you think, so don’t forget to leave me a review to read, and if you like it, tell your friends about it.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a wonderfully entertaining, sometimes humorous, sometimes<br />
shocking, sometimes challenging, but always entertaining account of this<br />
man’s life. Many other men can only fantasize about what he has<br />
experienced. Could the variety and extent of his sexual world really<br />
belong to one man? How did he keep this side of his life secret? What<br />
triggerpoints in his life can explain his behaviour?<br />

There<br />
was a leather armchair in the corner across from me, and next to it some kind<br />
of apparatus against the wall. I wasn’t sure what it was but it looked<br />
like something you could use to restrain someone. It might be my first<br />
time here, but I knew where I was and had some idea of what went on. Or at<br />
least, I thought I did. It was like a large “X” shape and had small metal<br />
eye hooks attached at various points. It had a foreboding look, but at the same<br />
time I was excited and intrigued looking at it. I would later learn that<br />
it’s called a St Andrews Cross, and I would come to love the view from it, with<br />
my arms and legs spread, and my naked body shackled against it. But that<br />
would all come later, as I dived headlong into the exciting world of<br />
BDSM. For now I felt like a country rube that had been dropped into the<br />
middle of Times Square. <span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There<br />
were other various loose items around the room, on shelves and hanging from the<br />
walls. There were masks, whips and dildos. Lots of leather. I<br />
smiled to myself through my inebriated haze, ‘lots of leather, what did I<br />
expect?’ Even without visiting a dungeon, everyone who thinks about it has the<br />
stereotypical images of a mistress. Tall, dressed in tight leather<br />
outfits, long leather boots, and the mandatory leather whip. But in the<br />
end, mistresses come in all shapes and sizes and dress in all kinds of ways,<br />
although always sexily. They are such delicious creatures.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a<br />
while I heard footsteps approach the door. It opened quietly and the<br />
receptionist came into the room with my drink.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Here<br />
you are,” she said, handing me the glass. “The mistresses won’t be long<br />
now. Make yourself comfortable.” <span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I<br />
thanked her as she left the room, and drank my scotch, syphoning it through the<br />
ice she had put in the glass and drained it in a gulp. I remember<br />
thinking it was way too much ice, and made a mental note to pass on the coke<br />
next time. I placed the glass on the table and stood up, wondering where<br />
I’d be most comfortable, and whether I should be sitting or standing when the<br />
mistresses came in. I decided to sit, and went to the other side of the<br />
room and sat in the armchair, next to the St Andrews cross. The armchair<br />
was facing the door directly, and diagonally opposite. I sat and<br />
waited. My mind was numb with anticipation……and what the fuck was taking<br />
so long! It was like time had gone into slow motion. I<br />
couldn’t think anymore, wondering what was going to happen, and what it would<br />
be like, so I tried to sit quietly, and waited.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
More<br />
footsteps; finally!<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

This<br />
time when the door opened I got my first look at a Mistress.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span class="readable" id="reviewTextContainer1338594681"><span id="freeText15186260691888933404">Subtitled<br />
“a dark journey into the Light”, “50 Shades of Truth” is the story of<br />
one man’s journey through and out of the world of BDSM. Josef takes the<br />
reader through the incidents in his childhood that he feels precipitated<br />
his interest in the world of bondage and discipline and uses encounters<br />
from his 60 year journey to explain his path and the mental and<br />
emotional consequences that he is still working through.<br /><br />Josef<br />
describes for the reader the life of lies and deceit that he was forced<br />
to live because of his participation in bondage. He details his<br />
encounters with transvestites, mistresses and gay men, and takes you<br />
through his thought processes during these encounters and afterward. The<br />
depth of his guilt and shame over these encounters is evident but also<br />
evident is the complete control that his urges for this type of behavior<br />
exhibited over him.<br /><br />The writing in this book is top-notch. The<br />
writer’s style is clear and approachable and made the book easy to read.<br />
This book would, however, not be suitable for younger readers due to<br />
the language and the explicit descriptions of sexual scenes. Josef’s<br />
urges, as described here, feel like an addiction and as with most<br />
addictions he makes many attempts to change before finally being able to<br />
succeed with the help of a therapist. The struggle the author felt as<br />
he watched his urges destroy two marriages and several other<br />
relationships is palpable.<br /><br />Josef also goes into great detail<br />
about how he views the role of the Catholic Church, where he was raised,<br />
in developing his feelings of guilt and shame about the activities<br />
which gave him such pleasure. He also goes into his views on how<br />
society’s attitudes toward sex make life more difficult for people like<br />
him. Josef points out to us the humanity of those people who are<br />
involved in the sex industry and presents them to us as people just<br />
wanting to have a life they can enjoy. Josef does not push the reader to<br />
want to participate in this world but he does push for it to be<br />
accepted by non-participants as a valid choice for an individual.<br /><br />The<br />
obvious readers of this book are people who also engage in the world of<br />
bondage and enjoy reading about it. But I think this book could also be<br />
a good choice for people who would like a greater understanding of<br />
something they are not already familiar with and also for those who<br />
enjoy stories about people who struggle but find their victory in the<br />
end. Josef exposes some very ugly truths in his book and he bares his<br />
soul to his readers. I believe there are some who will take courage from<br />
this story and be able to apply that to their own lives. I tip my hat<br />
to Josef for being willing to share his story with the world and<br />
allowing his readers to make up their own minds about whether they are<br />
willing to change their viewpoints after reading it.<br /><br />Reviewed at the Hungry Monster Book Review</span></span></div>

Upset authors. I’ve seen so many posts lately on social media about editors, and sadly, most of these posts have come from upset authors. It seems there are a lot of editors out there at the moment, who have no idea what they are doing. They just want to cash in. I find this so disheartening. Don’t get me wrong, there are also some AMAZING editors, too. Those people are worth their weight in gold, and should be appreciated greatly.<br />
I, myself, have dealt with four editors. Both over here in the UK, and in the USA. I am the first one to admit that where editing is concerned, I’m basically crap. I know a little, and I can help out with a few things, but other than that, yeah… I’m useless. When my debut novel was first published, I thought it had gone through a good edit… oh how wrong I was. I was young and clueless. Only when the reviews started coming in, did I realise something was terribly wrong. To cut a long story short, I left this publishing house and joined another in the US. My book went through another edit, and I thought that THIS time, it would be much better. I signed several novels over to them and edits were performed on each.<br />
Once again, reviews came in… guess what? The main issue people had with the books was the editing. I was devastated. One reviewer even put in their review “Has this book ever seen an editor?” I thought, wow, actually it’s seen two. What is going on? The second editor changed a lot and took out a lot of the punctuation. Then, another said, “Unedited novels should not be put up for sale.” That was the entirety of the second persons review. I cannot express just how upset I was.<br />
I cannot remember exactly how it came about, but I was speaking to a friend and found out she had studied English Lit. She also told me she had always wanted to become an editor, but was rather scared of putting herself out there. She took a look at my books and was brutally honest with me. They were not in a good way at all. It seemed all the bad comments in the reviews were completely justified. Said friend then proceeded to go through ALL my books. I left my second publisher, and went down the Indie route. I can honestly say, since this woman has gone through my books, I have NEVER received a negative comment about the editing. True story. You’re more than welcome to check this out for yourselves.<br />
There are no words to express how grateful I am to her. My books read better now than they ever have. I have also learned a lot from her. She’s open, honest, but friendly. She is supportive, reliable, and what she doesn’t know about editing… simply is not worth knowing.<br />
She has since opening her own editing business and has worked with several authors. Her name is Jodi and she owns TJS Literary Editing. You can find a link to her Facebook page below this post, or in the left menu bar.<br />
I just wanted to share my own experience with people.<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So that others who are currently going through the same or similar, know they are not alone.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So that these authors know there are some genuinely amazing editors out there.<br />
One thing I do believe is that these editors who go above and beyond should be credited. I credit Jodi and her company in every book. I believe she deserves it, and it may help others to find a good editor, and all around person, to work with. I will NEVER work with another editor for as long as I’m producing novels.<br />
Please don’t let bad experiences get you down too much. It’s a bump in the road. But I assure you, there are good ones out there, and you will find one. Keep your chin up, keep writing your stories, and don’t let these experiences put you off.<br />

Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
I'd like you all to meet a new friend of mine, Angela Fattig.<br />
<br />
Angela spent most of her childhood reading any book she could find. That’s when her passion of writing was born. When she was 10, she started writing short stories and poems and kept quite a collection.<br />
In 1998 she met Paul and they have shared a life together for 16 years. In 1999 she introduced the world to her first born, Brandi, and again in 2000, Sarah.<br />
Today, when she is not doing what she loves, writing, she spends time with her beautiful family and the addition of two dogs named Izzy and Herly.<br />
Angela’s inspirations have always been Stephen King, E L James, and Poe to name a few.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Angela is currently having a sale on one of her books, and we thought we'd share it with everyone. All the details are below, along with some teasers. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!</div>

Historic sites and inspiration.<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last weekend I went up to Northumberland. There were seven of us, me and my other half, my mum and dad, and my sister, Craig and my little niece, Faith. It was a nice relaxing break away. Friday to Monday. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As some people know, I have a love of history. I especially enjoy visiting historic places. It’s a passion, and I also get to do some of my photography. While I was away, I was able to put my English Heritage pass to use, and visited Lindisfarne Priory and Etal Castle. Both places were beautiful and very inspirational. There is just something about these ruins that fascinates me. When I walk around them my imagination goes into overdrive. I can almost imagine myself walking through them hundreds of years ago. I can picture the people walking past me and going about their lives. I often think that if the walls could talk, they would share some amazing stories and secrets. To me, it’s magical.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish I could feature all of these places in my books, and who knows, if I continue to write for the rest of my life (which is what I dream of) maybe I will be able to. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought I would share some of the photos on here. One, in case they can provide inspiration for others, and two, because they are simply beautiful. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please note. You do <b>NOT </b>have permission to take these photos. They are copyrighted to me. This is embedded in the photos metadata. I'm sorry for the copyright symbols that have blocked some of the detail on the photos. But I do NOT want people taking these and using them as they wish.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lindisfarne Priory</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island was one of the most important centres of early Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England. It is still a place of pilgrimage today, the dramatic approach across the causeway adding to the fascination of the site.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
St Aidan founded the monastery in AD 635, but St Cuthbert, prior of Lindisfarne, is the most celebrated of the priory's holy men. Buried in the priory, his remains were transferred to a pilgrim shrine there after 11 years, and found still undecayed - a sure sign of sanctity.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“Collecting and torturing a soul is dangerous business, my sister,” Zen said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“So was becoming Queen of Hell. What’s problematic about going with the flow?”</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">More of the same unblinking stare from him. “If you go rogue, Madison…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Madison slammed against the window-wall behind her. Despite the pane’s solidness, she felt it shimmy when it received the brunt of her weight. Recognizing Zen’s new demonstration of power, she elevated her eyebrows at him. With a smirk, she rubbed her back against the glass. She palmed her dragon blade as she flung a ninja star. He leaned to the side, dodging the star with ease. Of course she missed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“You can’t kill me.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Only his creator could take him down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Madison palmed her other dagger and eased away from the window. “Is this you coming for me, Zen?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">His one-shoulder shrug sufficed as an answer. The pounding on the door, followed by Nix and Micah’s yelling further answered her question. Zen had magically locked them out. That’d been why she saw his power flare for a brief second during their conversation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">She went for him. He blocked each jab and slash. Every kick and punch. She eyed him as they circled one another.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">He toys with us, her demon remarked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Of course he does, that was Zen’s way when they sparred.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“Have I not taught you anything?” He smacked her across the cheek in a whip-like move she hadn’t seen coming. It wasn’t hard enough to hurt, but the blow stung all the same. “You tire yourself knowing I’m the superior fighter. It’s like you sacrifice yourself to me. Too easy.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">They went at it again. She tripped over a rug, stumbled backward, and came up dead-footed with her spine against the windowpanes. He moved into her space. Eye-to-eye they stared at one another, her panting the only racket in the room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“So this is how it all ends?” she asked as he elevated a hand and braced it against the glass next to her head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“Maybe...”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The door practically throbbed from all the kicking, pounding, and magic thrown at it. “You’re scaring my men.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“They should be terrified.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Madison settled her hand on his arm. “I trust you.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">She chugged his magic harder than she ever had anyone’s, and screamed as pain slashed through her head. Zen’s eyes widened, silver bright, and he jerked away as his magic held strong, barring her husbands from the room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Zen stumbled, his footing off, and he swayed a moment before going to a knee. Wincing as the pain receded, Madison circled him and secured her blade in its leather holster.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">She threaded her fingers in his hair and pulled his head back. His shallow breathing surprised her, “Concede defeat?”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a “normal” person in southern society. When not writing, she’s a full-time basketball/lacrosse/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband of over twenty years. She has an unusual relationship with her muse, Dom, but credits all her creative success to his brilliant mind. She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football, and coffee...addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She’s convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and when blending coffee and writing together it generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands. Gracen writes is multiple genres—paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance, and contemporary romance.

Those who are friends with me on Facebook will know all about what happened over weekend, with my mum and dad being in a motorbike accident.<br />
I really needed to do something that kept my mind ticking over, but which would also chill me out. So I turned to Photoshop and created a few more pre-made covers. I'm completely in love with the top one lol.<br />

I haven’t written a post in quite a long time. I’ve severely neglected this blog and my website. I’ve had so much going on, and I’m trying to write five books right now. So things have been a little crazy.<br />
Unfortunately, my first post is not good news, but I feel I need to put this out there, one, because I’m livid about it all, and two, because other authors need to be aware that this is happening right now.<br />
<br />
A little while ago I made a post on Facebook. The post was the full cover wrap, complete with blurb, of a book I was about to start writing. The title is A.T.O.N. and the blurb is…<br />
<br />
<i>Almost from birth, she has been trained to kill. To feel nothing. To be a ghost. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>He is a detective. Ex-military. In charge of keeping peace on the streets of Chrysler. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Together with his team, Declan vows to take down the family known as The Toledo’s. One of the largest and most notorious crime families in the world... and the same people he believes are responsible for his parents’ deaths. His team will stop at nothing, leave no stone unturned, and if needed, break every rule in the book to see that justice is served. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>When The Toledo’s send their best people to take down Declan and his team, only one person can ensure their survival. She, alone, has the skills they will need to secure victory. Hiding in the shadows, she watches - protecting Declan and fulfilling a promise. Leaving him clueless as to who his guardian angel may be. After an almost fatal attack on the team, she reveals her identity. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Declan will learn what connects them and why she has been watching him. Secrets will be exposed, blood will be spilled, passions will rise… and Declan will unlock a side of her she never knew existed.</i><br />
<br />
This is the cover as posted on Facebook.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MVmAFLlnCok/VSQKdrK8CaI/AAAAAAAACMs/TCIRXaxFAF0/s1600/A.T.O.N.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MVmAFLlnCok/VSQKdrK8CaI/AAAAAAAACMs/TCIRXaxFAF0/s1600/A.T.O.N.jpg" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The book received a good response and I was thrilled. Especially since the characters and ideas for the book had haunted me since about October last year.<br />
Whenever I know I’m going to write a book. I create the cover, sometimes the blurb, and put it into my WiP file on Facebook, both on my personal profile and my author page. It’s something I have always done, and there are people who like to know what I’m working on. I love that, I love that people enjoy my books and look forward to my next release. It really helps to boost my confidence.<br />
However, not 48 hours later, I receive a message from a very dear friend. She informs me that another author has taken my idea for my story, AND my title idea, claiming it for their own. I was absolutely shocked beyond belief. Said author has a rather big following and has done well for herself over the last couple of years… yet she has now stolen from another author. After the shock wore off, I was both devastated and absolutely enraged. Since finding out about this, not a single day has passed that I haven’t thought about it.<br />
For a short time, make that VERY short time, I actually debated tossing the idea. People would think I copied this author. She is more known than me and is rushing to get the book out before me. Then I remembered something. THIS WAS MY BOOK! MY IDEA! There was no way in hell I was going to scrap it. I instantly removed my WiP file from my personal profile on Facebook, but left it on my author page. It also appears on my graphics page. I had other books in there with the blurbs clearly visible, and the last thing I wanted was this woman taking more of my story ideas.<br />
This woman was supposed to be a friend. She was supposed to be a reputable author. However, it seems all she is in fact, is a thief. Maybe she has no ideas left for books of her own, so she takes from others.<br />
<br />
After speaking to some author friends who I would trust with my life, I learned that this ISN’T the first time this author has pulled such a stunt. I’m not the only one this woman had stolen from.<br />
<br />
I don’t understand how this woman has the nerve to steal other people’s work and then claim it as her own. I sincerely wish to God book titles and ideas were copyrighted. It’s so unfair to those of us trying to bring our stories to life… only to have them snatched away. BUT, I am going to continue with MY story. I will make sure this book is written to the very best of my ability. One day soon, the truth will surface and this author will be knocked down off her pedestal. She will be exposed for the thief she really is. <br />

In fact, the fun filled crazy period started back in April... and I still have lots to do. Phew.<br />
<br />
So what's been happening? Well, for starters I left my publisher, World Castle Publications, to become a self published author. WCP will always have a special place in my heart and I will continue to support them and their authors, but it was time for me to move forward. Therefore, Bloodlines, Torment, Revelations and Leticia have undergone new edits. Leticia has new artwork, and they all have a little extra something in the print versions. They look great (or at least I think so lol), read so much better (massive thank you to my lifesaver Jodi from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TJSLiteraryEditing?ref=bookmarks" target="_blank">TJS Literary Editing</a>) and I'm generally much happier with them.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've also been busy with my graphics work. Creating trailers, book covers and now, interior paperback formatting. I love it!! I'm learning new tricks all the time, and so far, everyone is happy! Always a bonus!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Betrayal (Leticia book 2)</b></span><br />
<br />
Leticia has had her fair share of hurt and hardships, but it seems things are about to go from bad to worse.<br />
<br />
Her ex-lover, originally thought to be behind all this upset and pain, is dead. Two of her friends are missing and presumed dead, and the attacks on her and the new man in her life, Jackson, are becoming more ferocious. Who is doing this to them? When will they discover who the man, known to them only as ‘Boss’ actually is? Will Leticia and Jackson’s love stay strong through it all?<br />
<br />
It seems there is nowhere else to run, nowhere else to hide. They must fight, even if it means to their death... who will win is anybody’s guess.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stranger (stand alone)</b></span><br />
<br />
When Nick, Macy and a few friends go on holiday to a private island, they plan to relax and rebuild their slightly estranged friendships. They’ll enjoy each other’s company, catch up on each other’s lives and make the most of their time away from work.<br />
<br />
After a particularly bad storm, Macy finds a small, badly damaged boat washed up on the shore. She and her friends search the surrounding waters for any survivors, but find nothing.<br />
<br />
Frightening things begin to happen. One of the friends mysteriously vanishes. Another seems to have taken their own life. Then they lose power.<br />
<br />
Fears grow, as one by one, the friends are disappearing. The remaining members of the group must try to find a way off the island. Is someone playing a cruel joke? Is there a murderer among them? After all, one of them is a suspected sociopath. Or is there an uninvited stranger on the island?<br />

Sasha’s client, a young girl of only ten, is showing the same signs and symptoms as Rayne did only a year ago. The child is frightened and refuses to sleep for fear the entity in her dreams will come for her. Sasha believes Rayne may be the only one who can save the girl.<br />
<br />
Rayne must once again face her fears, open herself up to a new state of consciousness and help the child to conquer her dreams, before the intruder claims them both.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So all in all, its CRAZY!! But I absolutely love it and wouldn't have it any other way. If I didn't have million things to do, I would be so bored and miserable. Much prefer crazy to boredom!<br />
<br />
Now that I've got all that off my chest, I think since it 3.20am here in the UK, I'm going to make a brew and continue to update my website... yes, the night is still young!<br />
<br />
Love and hugs to all who read this post.<br />
