Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, I'm teleporting in for a quick update, as of today, "The Darkened Path: The With Of Lone Oak" was accepted into the Smashwords Premium Catalog.
Go HERE for your copy and be sure to check out the other two books in the series too!
Today I began writing on "The Darkened Path: Beyond The Veil" and so far I'm on page 42 and up to 12,601 words , yeah I have been sitting here all day typing on and off between food and coffee breaks. The snow and cold outside makes it impossible to go out, the parking lots and the roads are packed in a slick powdery mess. I made a short walking trip to the Shell station that is down the street, the blast of fresh cold air felt nice, but by the time I got back my fingers were numb. I suppose I had better dig out those Thinsulate gloves instead of the regular thin acrylic sweater ones!
There's a little backstory about how "Beyond The Veil" came to be. While scrying in my black gazing mirror one night,I asked the question of " What should the next title of my book be?" Imagine my awed astonishment, when I watched the surface of the mirror fog up like there was condensation forming on it, and it parted on either side like a veiled curtain. I blurted " Beyond the veil?" to myself out loud , and then I felt that familiar warm and fuzzy tingle that signified that a spiritual presence was with me, and that was the positive affirmation of my outspoken question. Thus is also why the cover for the book has a image of a warped around fractal mirror. It signifies the bending of time, space, and going "Beyond The Veil" between mundane and spiritual worlds.
Since at that time, I was doing a divination session, that became the inspiration for the plot of the new Darkened Path book I am working on. I am a Empath and a multi gifted receptive medium. No joke. I am not one of those phony, scammer, psychic hotline types.. My gifts are the real deal, and I have years of personal experiences to prove it. Some of those experiences will be written in the new book, they are just too powerfully a part of me and part of what made who I am now as a person to be left out or ignored, and I definitely will not be forgetting those experiences anytime soon.
I am still working on "Hearts Of Fire", but it is going a bit slowly, I am somewhat stuck in the middle of the book, trying to formulate how I want a crucial part of the story to unfold so that it meshes well with the rest of the plot. The scene of how a Dragon merges and transfers it's soul, magic, and a part of itself into a human body is rather difficult to project from my mind and put it into words on a Word page. I am going to teleport back out, I have to get some sleep now, you can't write worth a hill of beans when you're falling asleep at the keyboard!

The Witch Of Lone Oak Is Live!!
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I just had to come in and share the excitement! "The Darkened Path; The Witch Of Lone Oak" has been published and is live on Amazon KDP right now! I will finish detailing the print version tomorrow, I need a laptop with a updated Adobe flashplayer on it and this tablet wouldn't let me use cover creator on Createspace. I might see if I can fix the tablet so it works like I need it to, but it was actually kind of cool to use the tablet to get the book published with, this old witch can always learn a few new tricks! I'm fecking excited, it's taken me over a year to get this book finished and I can cross another publishing milestone off my to do list! Here is the link for y'all that want to check out my newest installment of The Darkened Path series! The Witch Of Lone Oak.
Four long and exhausting years of my life have been carefully pieced together into this work, and I had days where I sat and cried in frustration, gotten angry, been depressed, and almost gave up several times! This one book gave me fits over trying to get it even half way completed. If y'all have been reading the blog posts here, then you know the exasperating and temper tantrum inducing troubles that I have went through to get this book done. It has been a uphill battle the whole time, and now I can shove that boulder off the cliff side! A good part of the theme to this book swirls deeply around a very intense and challenging love story that has went through alot of wild and crazy changes, cause we all know that the best kind of love is the one that the God's and Goddesses will to be, that everyone tries damned hard to make sure you cannot have, and no matter what you say, think, or do, you can't just walk away from!
Detailed personal accounts of yours truly from my own private journals, give voice to the scenes and situations in the nitty gritty, and nothing is left out and no stone unturned! The book Shades Of Darkness, was spawned from this book, as the spells and other things mentioned in the chapters of The Witch Of Lone Oak are written in detail in Shades Of Darkness. I personally suggest buying all three books, starting with " The Darkened Path; The Journey Begins" so you're up to date, and youre getting the whole timeline and story that is now up to date in present time! What you're gonna be reading is all me, 110% and straight up to the point! There are adult scenes and situations written in this newest book, and it is meant for a mature audience of 18+.
This particular adventure down The Darkened Path is going to be put on hiatus, while I finish The Darkened Path; Beyond The Veil, and Hearts On Fire. There is alot more to come on The Darkened Path, the witch's journey is far from done! I hope y'all decide to give this book a read, and I'm open and got my ears and eyes peeled for review, comments, and anything else, but all I ask is that I'm not flamed, because quite honestly Lucan just might flame back! I'm gonna go for now, gonna go and find me a cup of Maxwell House smooth bold blend coffee and go write some more!

Witch of Lone Oak update 2/2/2016
Hi everyone and Bright Blessings! I'm zooming in to update and then zooming back out because I am swamped in work and writing, and tying up some life issues at the moment. The Darkened Path: The Witch of Lone Oak is nearing completion! The second installment of the life of yours truly centers on a complicated love, loss, and twisting paths of change! I am currently writing the last few pages that end on a bittersweet note. What changes will we see on the Darkened Path? Stay tuned and soon you will see!
Hearts of Fire is also being worked on and I'm aiming for a release of at least one of my projects on the February new moon, which is on the 8th. Trident media responded with a note saying they will contact me again after 30 days, I will see what happens with that by end of this month and if I don't hear anything I will be inquiring about my submission. There will be a third installment of the life of yours truly as I have been compiling months worth of material for that,and I have also been gathering and researching materials for a book on Divination practices and more magical meanderings will begin on the Darkened Path. I am going to go for now but I shall return! Have a great week everyone!

Hearts On Fire update 1/21/2016
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I am working hard on Hearts On Fire, and as of just now I am on page 103 and today I finished 4600 words. Tristan has begun his training with Lucan and things are getting a bit intense with that! Will Tristan be able to visit in Serena's home for a week, to complete his training, and resist the urge to claim Serena as his before the merging ceremony? Lucan is going to brutally test every cell in Tristan's mind, body, and soul, to make sure he is worthy to call Serena his own! A dragon will not give up his prized treasure without a fight, and if Tristan fails his training with Lucan he might have to kiss Serena goodbye forever!
We are getting snowed in by winter storm Jonas this weekend, supposedly we are about to get between 4-7 more inches of snow, school has been out since Wednesday. My son has been glued to his Xbox, and I have been trying to drown out the ungodly sound and sight of constant Minecraft playing, so I can write and concentrate on the storyline. If it were up to me that game would never exist, it grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard! I know everyone has their own hobbies and things they love, but me personally I could do without ever seeing a game console in my house!
Today I contacted Trident Media in NY, and inquired about the idea of them accepting or looking at my first book "The Darkened Path The Journey Begins" for potential as a movie, TV series or something similar. I know that is going out on a skinny limb, but who says I cannot at least ask and find out some information, and that is sometimes a fantastic way to get more sales and get your work and yourself seen and heard about. I am not adverse to the idea that my books, or anything else that I write about, would end up being created into a indie movie or something. I am going to hop off here for now, just wanted to pop in for a quickie update. Bright Blessings to everyone, and stay safe from Jonas if you live in the area!

Hearts On Fire update.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I popped in for an update to tell y'all what's transpiring in my newest storyline! Right at this minute, Hearts On Fire is up to 66 pages and 21,607 words! Last night I wrote in 4,055 more words and finished 12 more pages. Tristan and Lucan are about to hold a meeting with the Elder Council, in the High Council's chambers to deliberate and decide the fate and sentence of the HIgh Goddess, whom has attempted to hatch a heinous plot and pull off a unforgivable crime against the Dragon and human races! Serena has been informed of some very interesting revelations, and Tristan is having to swallow a few huge horse pills of pride, and abandon some long held human male ideas, in order to make some nessecary adjustments, if he wants to be the man Serena needs and deserves. What will be the High Goddess's fate, and what will be her punishment from the Elders for taking her mad schemes way out of hand?
I have something wickedly horrifying in mind for my poor High Goddess, she's about to find out what happens when you mess with the Dragon God's most valued treasure! Meanwhile, the Elders look down fondly upon their chosen son of clan McKinley , and flash a winking eye at the vintage bourbon and selected choice of smoking paraphernalia, after all, a man needs something to soothe his mind and frazzled temper , when his normal mundane human life is changing faster than Lucan can wolf down a plate of Starbuck's French Roast coffee grounds!

New Year 2016
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. I am working hard on writing my short story "Hearts On Fire", thus far I have 42 pages and a bit over 14k words done! The holidays set me back a bit, and then right before Yuletide I came down with a ugly chest cold. The worst of it has subsided, I am still coughing like a barking seal, however I have the energy to be up and about. Last night I started writing again, determined to start the New Year by getting some work done! I have borrowed my son's tablet to work with , seeing as I currently have no internet or phone service until the bill is paid. If it's not one thing then it's another! That will not prevent me from getting my work done, I just need to learn to navigate this gadgetry of his a bit. I am not a tech whiz, so me learning to use a tablet with a advanced Android program is going to take a bit of getting used to! I never thought I would end up doing something like sitting here at the table, the only room on the house where a wifi signal works, tapping out words on a touch screen, and I am so not used to it, I really do miss my clanky outdated desktop keyboard right now! I can sit at my old model acer desktop and type words and click keys to my hearts content! I'm quite the old woman when it comes to modern technology, I'll be 33 on January 18th and I didn't even have cellular phone service until I was 21! So all these new devices are a bit overwhelming to tinker with.
Now onto where I am in my new story, Tristan, love of Serena, is in a heated discussion with the HIgh Goddess about why he and her dragon guardian Lucan, have to form a very unusual bond between themselves in order for both of them to stay in the life and heart of Serena, and what is the High Goddess conspiring to achieve and gain out of this forbidden of and illegal alliance? The stakes are high, and the consequences, potentially devastating, for all involved, if the HIgh Goddess's scheme is discovered by the HIgh Council before She can see it complete. The fate of the entire dragon and human race will be changed for all eternity, should this plot of Hers succeed. Serena risks losing everything that makes her heart and her life complete in Tristan and Lucan should they all fail. Will a millenia old dragon and a modern day warrior work together in harmony to keep the woman they love and put aside their warring hearts and hardened ways? Or will the fires of love be extinguished forever?

"Hearts On Fire" ..A New Short story I Am Working On!
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. I am working on a new short story and below are the details to this fiery hot tale of quirky magic, complicated love, and what kind of madness ensues when you have a High Goddess and a Dragon meddling in your daily affairs! This is will be done very shortly and I will update again when I have it published!
Lucan Drake, Dragon Guardian to Serena, will do anything to protect his appointed ward, she is more precious to him than any jewel in a dragon's hoard, and it is also part of the divine task given to him by the High Goddess,for Serena has a very special path to follow in life. Serena and Tristan,are two star crossed lovers trying to make something tangible work, neither realizing that they were meant to be together from the start, thanks in part to a meddling Dragon and a matchmaking High Goddess, but will they light each other's hearts on fire,or burn each other to cinders? Will Lucan willingly step aside and allow Tristan to have Serena's heart,will he acknowledge that Tristan is worthy of Serena's love, or will he defy the High Goddess and fight Tristan to the death to hold onto his precious treasure?
