Inspiration!

So, instead of trying to come up with some amazing idea, I started writing.  I'm letting the story tell me where to go, which seems to be when I do my best writing.  Thankfully, it's working out, although I will say it's taken me nearly 3 hours to write 1 1/4 pages.  What's making it so slow is the process of coming up with all the initial ideas, and then staying true to them.  I'm also spending time making sure that the writing flows well.  I want this to be a masterpiece, so I'm putting everything I have into it.  I just hope you, the readers, enjoy it! <3

My Next Book

I'm still waiting on feedback about my most recent novel, the sequel to 'Madison', so I'm trying to keep myself busy in the meantime.  I really want my next book/series to be an epic trilogy, something that I would personally love to read, and I want it to be original.  I don't want to rehash stories that people have already told.  I'm looking to find my inspiration, and I just haven't found it yet.  I was thinking about trying my hand at Sci-Fi, but I don't want to write a book series too similar to the Ender's Game books.  I also don't want to rehash Hunger Games, or Twilight, or Fifty Shades of Grey, or The Lord of the Rings, or any other epic trilogy that has done extremely well.  I want to write something new, and intelligent, and enjoyable for anyone that might read it.

COVER REVEAL FOR WHITE OPS: SHADES OF GRAY

If you remember, or maybe you hadn't heard, I published my first book 'Madison' under two titles, 'Madison' and 'White Ops'.  The reason I did this was that I believed the story would resonate with both male and female readers.  I created two separate covers, but they were in every other way the same book.  I'm going to continue that tradition, and also publish the sequel to 'Madison' under the title 'White Ops: Shades of Gray'.

Now before you ask if it's a reference to '50 Shades of Grey', no it is not.  The reason for the title is two-fold.  First, I wanted a title that had color in it, going with the White theme.  The second reason is that there's moral ambiguity in the story, running throughout.  Taylor is faced with some very tough decisions, and has to do things he find immoral in order to save the day.  It made too much sense not to use.

So without further ado, here's the cover:

Anyway, I hope you love the cover!!! <3 <3 <3

COVER REVEAL FOR MADISON: SHATTERED WINGS!!!

So I just put the finishing touches on the cover for Madison: Shattered Wings!!!  I hope you love it!!! <3 <3 <3

I Invented Something!!!

Okay, so I love string cheese!  It's fun to pull apart, and you can eat a little or a lot at a time, and it's great!  But no one sells a meat product that works the same way.  So I had the idea of using slices of chicken breast, since when you pull it apart, it does the same thing!  Coming to a market near you, STRING CHICKEN!!!  Nom nom nom!!! <3

A Little More Editing Feedback

So I talked with the first person who responded with feedback on the sequel to Madison, titled 'Madison: Shattered Wings', and she said she actually liked the sequel better than the first.  HUGE PRAISE, especially from her!!!  The other thing is that my self-editing must be getting better, because she didn't have any grammar, spelling or punctuation fixes for me to make.  Wicked awesome!!! <3

So excited to finally get this book out!  Now I need a cover!
