Hello,
I know a lot of you have been waiting to here about the progress on the book. Our computer has been acting funny and suffering from its own brand of PMS- periodic malfunction syndrome. It has been in and out of the shop and then the cord broke. The writing gods must be upset with us--or Dubleton is trying to hamper our plans. Despit the delays we are still on track to send our book to the editor on July 21st. Hopefully, we'll have book giveaways that begin in August and that end in October, hopefully we'll have a big proze to giveaway too so stay tuned.
A lot has changed in this new book- the characters have evolved- the pace is quicker, the characters are more defined, and the environment is definitely different. Hopefully you guys love it. Thanks for being awesome.
In a modern day holocaust, 14-year old Dephon Johnson's only goal is to stay beneath the radar. Unfortunately secrets from the past threaten his aninimity, bringing the evil government straight to his door. In an attempt to stay alive Dephon must boldly attempt to overthrow the government, but the only person who can help him has been dead for thirteen years.

Review of Shadows
Most people know how much I love Angelfall. However, most other angel books have not compared. I can pass on most of the angel series, so I was reluctant to read Shadows by Paula Weston, but the name kept popping up. I'm a believer in fate and destiny (on a good day anyway) so I ordered the book and started reading. In the neginning, I was far from interested. I wasn't exactly bored, but there was very little reason to keep reading. And then in stepped Rafa. the book quickly became interesting-seizing my attention. Everything took off from there.
I'm normally farily good at reading the signs. Most authors put enough writing on the wall so that there are no surprises. Not the case here. There were so many times that I was just shocked. The secondary characters all had their own motives and they kept derailing the story -- in a good way. No one was what they seemed. The main character even kept you off your toes, but she was always loyal, funny and true to herself- whoever herself managed to be. You want a funny story that keeps you on your toes? This is the story for you.

Eradicated
Newest addition to our story line:
In 2223 A.D. humanity realized they were not alone. An alien
group from the planet Gliese 581-d came to Earth to escape the destruction of
their home planet. Earth's leaders allowed it because the aliens were peaceful,
they were beautiful, and something about them was utterly irresistible.
400 years later humanity has all but been eradicated. Most
humans have been absorbed into the alien population. Maya Richardson is one of
the few thousand remaining humans. She lives in a fledgling where she had lived
with both of her parents, until they each disappeared, abandoning her to for
the glittering allure of the Gliesian society.
Unfortunately, she is branded a traitor when her best friend
vanishes with the commune’s money. Maya has to prove her innocence to take her
rightful place in the commune hierarchy.
But Maya has a secret. Actually, she has two secrets: one
that can save the commune and the other that can save humanity. Unfortunately,
exposing one of her secrets will get her kicked out of the commune. If she
exposes the other, she'll find out that the aliens aren’t so peaceful after
all.

Why I love Singleton Johnson
Why I love Singleton Johnson
I was born in America, but I feel like I was born in the old America. An America where loyalty meant something, where people chose to stay married instead of getting divorced, where your friends were there for you no matter what and where something as small as an election didn't diminish your love for this country.
Maybe, I used to suffer from a bit of naivete. My friends have always told me I was sheltered, but I don't think that's it. I think our loyalty has plummented. It is easier to get a new model of anything then it is to fix the model that we have.
That's why we created Singleton the way that we did. He is all the things a female could want in a man: smart, funny, but most importantly loyal. He's there for the sake of being there. You can rely on him until the end, to be supportive, to be protective, and most importanly to be the loving guy you can depend on. The characters in the sequel, The Azemeon, are a little different. Life lessons have made them change a bit, but they are all still the same characters that you remember. I hope you continue to love them as much as we do.

It has been forever
It has been forever since I blogged.
I have definitely missed it, but I have every intention of remaining consistent. Soon the launch of my new novella series, Eradicated, will hit the stores. The sequel to the Exemeus is almost done, which means promotions and giveaways for my loyal readers.
I also have a million YA books to review, so they should be coming your way-- coupled with the giveaway of some of the best books of the year.
Feel free to send in lists of your favorite books, especially if you read ya, fantasy, romance with a touch of humor.
I'll be posting soon.

Blog Blitz
I know I have been MIA. I've been doing a lot of work to make sure that more people hear about The Exemeus. I've been setting up tours and arranging promotions. I should be back around to posting reviews, reading books, and writing the sequel by the end of the month. We'll see.
Here is the banner for my next tour.
