The Official Playlist: Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

Okay, so this is the final playlist song I'm posting for the new release. It's coming *REAL* soon, y'all--As in: I'm making final formatting tweaks. 

This particular song is a pretty big hint. . . .

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (George Michael feat. Elton John)

Enjoy!

The Official Playlist: Never Let Me Go

I am *so* sorry for missing Indie Life this week! I'm just now wrapping up my work week--at 9:30pm on a Friday night--so that's how things have been for me the past five days. It's nuts. I plan to sleep through my entire maternity leave at the end of the year. (Ha. Wishful thinking. I know.)

At any rate, I felt guilty for not continuing my playlist posts this week, so. . . . Here's another!

Florence and the Machine: "Never Let Me Go."

Hot New Releases!

VOLITION What Doesn't Kill You...   (book 2 in the Perception Series) Zoe Vanderveen is on the run with her captor turned rescuer, Noah Brody. They're in love. Or at least that’s what he tells her. Her memories have returned but her feelings are dreamlike—thin and fleeting. Her heart can’t be trusted. Just look at what happened with Taylor Blake. Senator Vanderveen’s new team of cyborg agents are in hot pursuit, and a reward for their capture is broadcast nationwide. Record breaking cold and snow hinder their escape. Someone dies helping them. And their fight for survival has only begun.   Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/VOLITION-Perception-Series-ebook/dp/B00CBJL94E/ref=pd_sim_kstore_1 itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/volition/isbn9781927547137 Kobo: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/VOLITION/book-6I5V9lkZcUSbiC7-qmxbTw/page1.html?s=l7xtfh_wkECMyLltlAvUwA&r=1 B&N: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/volition-lee-strauss/1114998883?ean=2940044417038 smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/299313 **Due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this book is recommended for ages 16+** Fiercely liberal Monica Remy prefers to blend in. Despite her tattoos, piercings, and outspoken personality, she transferred to Central to escape—before she finds out that her next door neighbor is the uber conservative governor's son, Trey Chapman. No matter how hard she tries to avoid Trey, he still finds a way to get under her skin. Monica can’t stand his crisp white shirts or his staunch views on women. But she can’t help counting every freckle on his face and wondering what it would feel like to have him stop talking politics and kiss her. A class debate project forces the unlikely pair to work together, and the political lines are blurred in late-night make out sessions. But despite their fiery chemistry, Trey’s politics threatens to smother their relationship for good.   Amazon Kobo Barnes&Noble iTunes All Romance Ebooks Two more episodes of the future-noir serial Debt Collector by Susan Kaye Quinn were released.

The Official Playlist: Be Still

Here's another peek at The Official Playlist for my upcoming release:

"Be Still": The Fray

The Official Playlist: I Can't Make You Love Me

Ugh. I feel wretch!

This is mostly the day job's fault. All I have is more *crickets*, though I'm desperately trying to do these final read-throughs so I can release this project. I honestly NEVER expected it to take this long. I had no idea how important my 11pm-1am writing time was until it was ripped out from under me. 

So. . . .

The plan is to try to release things related to the new project sporadically, leading up to a cover and summary reveal. 

I'm starting with songs from the playlist. 

The first:

"I Can't Make You Love Me" (Bon Iver version)

Enjoy!

Indie Life: Hanging in There

There may be days when you feel like everything you write sucks. There may be days when everything you write *does* suck. There may be days where the words won't come. There may be days full of BBOS (Brown Bars of Shame--Kindleboards Reference!). There may be days full of zero sales. There may be days full of no reviews, followed by days full of one-star reviews. 

The good news is: each book you write leads you to the next.

 And the next. 

Don't give up. Ever.

Indie = Hanging in There, Even on one of *Those* Days

Because being Indie doesn't have to mean going it alone.

Quick Update

For the past two weeks--

Mr. Klein was sick, then I got sick, and now the girl-child is sick. . . . And I can't button my jeans, so provisions are being made. . . . but I had a good Drs. appointment. . . . And Easter was okay, despite the looming illness. . . . I'm still having formatting issues. . . . But I'm trying really hard despite the sickness running rampant in my world. . . . 

And all of this is just crazy-making.

So this is my update. :)

All is well--just "placeholding" until I have something awesome (or even relevant) to post. :)
