Okay, not really, but I've been working so hard on my newest project that I've totally neglected my blog. Maybe that can be a New Year's resolution for me, to work on this sucker more often.
So enough of that, I'm so excited to announce a brand new project that is currently being read by my lovely beta readers!!!
I present to you Claire's Song!
This cover is absolutely perfect isn't it? A huge shout out to James at goonwrite.com for creating this for me! I think it captures the feeling of the book pretty well. I can't wait for you guys to meet Claire and of course, Ryder. Stay tuned for more info! Hopefully this baby will be available in February (my birthday month, what what)!
Happy Tuesday!! My book went on sale Sunday! I am beyond excited to finally have it out there. My dream has always been to write a book that people love, that leaves the reader thinking about the plot line long after the last page has been read. I hope that is what you find when you read it! I have two reviews on Amazon...both FIVE STARS!!! *Squee*
A huge thank you goes out to every single person who has purchased the book, who has messaged me and texted me about it, as well as to those two very awesome people who have left great Amazon reviews for me. You guys rock!
"Since you
have confessed to the murder," the frail judge's voice was barely loud
enough to be heard throughout the square. Silence fell in anticipation of what
he would say, "Then you are sentenced to death in this young man's stead.
Guard, place the noose around her neck."
Astonished cries flooded Catherine's
ears, but nothing could be louder than the pounding of her own heart. She would
gladly trade her life for that of the man she loved. But what about the life
growing inside of her? She had gambled, thinking the baby's life would be what
saved them all, but she had failed.
One
thing was for certain: she would not be afraid. Catherine held her head up,
allowing the cold wind to whip her hair around her face. Silently, she asked
forgiveness for her sins as she felt the roughness of the rope tighten around
her neck. Another guard appeared and worked at tying her hands together in
front of her.
The
heartache was over now, she supposed. For so long she had been weary in spirit
and now it came to an end, albeit not the ending she had dreamed of when she
was only fifteen and young and silly. She silently waited for the guard to
begin counting the moments until her death.Slowly, she moved her tied hands to her belly, and there they rested;
Catherine wondered if this would be the closest she would ever come to holding
her child.She thought of the father of
the life growing inside of her.She
thought of saving her love’s life and sacrificing herself for his sake.She thought of him as she had countless times
before.
She
thought of him, and she smiled.
I hope you enjoyed it! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about it. To see what happens to Catherine, check out Brightest Hour, available this Saturday on Amazon's Kindle Shop. Before I bid adieu, I want to leave you with the song I am currently OBSESSED with from one of my new favorite films (and not to mention favorite books) The Great Gatsby: Lana Del Ray's "Young and Beautiful."
Well today holds a lot of excitement for me! I have finally created an author page on Facebook in honor of the release of my historical fiction novel "Brightest Hour."

"Brightest Hour" releases this Saturday May 25th on Amazon's Kindle Store. I am so thankful for all of my Facebook friends who are supporting me, who have liked my author page, have sent me sweet, encouraging comments, and who have even shared it. You guys rock! This has been my dream since I was in elementary school, so I finally decided to go out there and try to make it happen. I mean, why not?
Now, for the reveal of the cover:
I got this cover from Fiverr.com, from the very talented vikncharlie. I love it and think it is perfect for the novel.
