Happy Launch Day for New Pride by Laura Diamond!

 New Town, New Love, New Terror

I am sooo excited to help my friend and awesome author launch her novelette  New Pride!! it is the prequel for her soon to released novel Shifting Pride, which comes out December 7th. Please check it out. you won't be disappointed!!

In SHIFTING PRIDE, the main character, Nickie, searches for her missing father, Richard…and NEW PRIDE is all about Richard’s journey to independence and new love. 

A shape-shifter without a pride, Richard Leone strikes a tenuous friendship with power hungry, Derek, from an unstable, rogue group. On a hunt in the forest, they encounter a gorgeous brunette, Molly, partying with friends around a campfire. Derek tells the rogue pride and they bristle at humans trespassing on their territory. Richard risks life and tail to protect his secret and the humans—especially Molly—while simultaneously trying to win her heart. When Molly is kidnapped, he faces taking on the rogue pride alone, but quickly finds he has to put his trust in Derek, not only to rescue his new love, but to ensure the rogue pride doesn’t wreak havoc on his new town.

Sounds GREAT!!!

my trip to Spooky Empire and geek out moment

so if you watch The Walking Dead, you know that man next to me is actor IronE Singleton, who plays T Dog on TWD. I'll get back to this pic in a sec. last weekend my boyfriend, author Scott M. Baker, and I went to the Spooky Empire Horror Convention in Orlando. it was awesome. we had the best time checking out all the horror related stuff. as a former costumer I was amazed by some of the con goer's costumes. I was blown away. one of the highlights of the con for me was listening to  author RL Stine talk about writing. he talked about his Goosebumps series and his new book Red Rain.

RL Stine is actually very funny. I laughed many many times while he talked. And not one time was inappropriate. after Scott and I got our  books signed by Mr. Stine, we went back to where the celebrity guests were. I wanted a pic with IronE Singleton so we waited in line and when we got up to the table, he signed a photo for me and then noticed Scott. Then he proceeded to Wassup Scott and hug him. He remembered Scott from the Infect Scranton Con where Scott was a panel member and VIP guest. how awesome was that that a TV star remembered my boyfriend and then said "Is this your girl? Oh he talked about you. He really loves you!" I about died. Scott and a TV star were talking about me. and that is why I look so dorky in my pic. I was in a major nerdgasm over MY BOYFRIEND who shot up in awesome. he's already amazing but he got a special coating of super awesome after this.
Check out his book Rotter World from Permuted Press at www.permutedpress.com

going over proofs with the world's tiniest comb

yep just this small. I have been going over the proofs of Blood Betrayal with a micro fine toothed comb. it is very intense. I can only do so much before my brain explodes and I start to miss things. but I'm almost done! I'm so excited. the layout is so beautiful. when I got the proof and opened it, I almost cried. it was like giving birth and seeing your baby for the first time. the best thing is I have an inkling of when my release will be. I can't say yet but I will let you know when I can. I plan on doing some amazing giveaways!

have a spooktacular Halloween!

have wonderful day! hope it's full of treats and no tricks. and definitely no rocks!

so there I was goofing off when I discovered I missed Vladimir Putin's birthday

I'm doing a bonus post today because while not doing my homework and surfing the internet, I discovered that my favorite Russian had a birthday. yes, good ol' Vlad had a birthday on October 7th. He's 60. I didn't know that until I stumbled upon this nugget of info. I also discovered that 1 in 5 Russian women would marry him. ahh the lure of a badass translates to any country or language. Happy Birthday Vladimir Putin. sorry I was late wishing it.

happy Vladurday!

so why aren't there flame throwers in zombie stories?

the above picture is how suspected zombies are dealt with on Spongebob Squarepants. I'm trying to develop a fondness for zombies. now I have posted about how zombies make me very nervous and post apocalyptic stories push some paranoid button in my psyche. so I am watching the Walking Dead marathon on AMC. I've already had a few issues. one of the main issues is why does no one ever have a flame thrower for a weapon? I am pretty certain that nothing survives fire. my boyfriend, who is a zombie enthusiast and author of zombie fiction informed my novice self that a flamethrower was not a good weapon and that a burning zombie chasing you would be a terrifying problem. now, from what I know from anatomy and physiology and 16 years as a nurse, I think that fire is slowing anything down, even a zombie. reality is being a buzzkill for me watching this.
as an author, I ask readers to suspend their sense of disbelief when they start reading my stories. it's part of a trust between a reader and an author. however I guess I'm not going to be able to do that with the zombies. probably because they scare something in me that I can't let go of my always planning on how I would deal with something like that. it doesn't happen with vampires or werewolves. I guess I like those paranormal creatures too much.

happy Vladurday!
