It's Happening!!

6/6/2013

       Okay, I have to say I have been quiet lately. I'm sorry but I've been having a rocking go at life. 
I have added another destination to my nomadic wanderings (Meaning I'm typing this hiding between boxes). 

       I have been wrapping up everything for FAMILIAR. I am so excited about this upcoming book and all my pending releases. Familiar was a hard story for me to tell for several reasons. First, I wanted to write 3 books in The Rena Files series, originally. When I outlined the last book I realized there were a lot of gaps. So I decided there needed to be something in between 2 and 4. Familiar was made and I was back at Square 1 I had no clue what to write. I wrote probably a dozen outlines before I even wrote a page. I wrote about five different first chapters. When I started I just couldn't make myself write this story. I thought it was a disconnect with the characters because I had waited 2 years between Puzzled and Familiar. It wasn't. I just was, mentally, too busy to handle the story line. After several more outlines and chapter ideas I settled on a plot. 

      I never imagined that once I was inspired the plot would flow so freely and flourish more than I ever expected. Not only am I proud of this book (as I am my other ones) I am proud of the growth my characters went through. I can happily say that I am taking on Return without any of the issues I had come across while outlining . 

So excuse me while I do a Happy Dance!

News Is coming this Month for Freebies. Check back next week.

Let me Reintroduce you to The Rena Files

4/25/2013

      I thought this would be a great blog to talk about The Rena Files. I had a lot of trouble finding my characters again after I wrote the second book, Puzzled. I had written Puzzled in 2010, but left it simmering until last summer. To keep it simple, I was preoccupied. I basically wrote all three Secrets books back to back. The only times I acknowledged The Rena Files was to edit and do rewrites of sections. To make matters worse, I got even more sidetracked with Enchanted. The idea for the series was just one of those all consuming ideas that wouldn't leave my head until i had written it down. 

    So August 2012, I started looking for Rena and friends again so I could finally write Familiar and Return. I felt like i was relearning everything again all the little mannerisms everyone had. Rena's all important need to snoop. Most importantly, I had to relearn the dynamic between Rena and Jesse. They are very different from Annie and Ian and Max. 

    Okay back to the story. Somewhere between the fifteenth and the fiftieth rewrite of the Familiar outline. I found the story. I even found my subplot. Everything started to work out and fall into place. Familiar has been one of the hardest stories for me to tell because it's not like the rest of the series. 

This is where I go back to The Rena Files and Puzzled. 
The Rena Files if you haven't guessed or haven't read (Which i suggest you do. It has been recently revamped to include a snazzy new cover too! Click here for more info) is about Rena Solis. She's sixteen, she's a little paranoid, and she's a little insecure but we can just chalk that up to the fact that she keeping a MEGA secret from her best friend, Caitlin. Rena also happens to be the lucky girl who finds a dead body at the Junior Prom. After a lot of confusion, misunderstandings, and a little help from her family connections. Rena sets out  to figure out what the heck is happening at Walterville High.

Puzzled, is book # 2 in the series. It picks up a few months after The Rena Files. Summer is coming to an end and the smell of blood is back in the air. At her summer internship with the Walterville Police Department, Rena finds herself in the middle of the hunt for one the deadliest serial killers and he has been leaving a trail of bodies in her town. (Puzzled has also been revamped and reedited getting it's very own snazzy cover as well. Click here for more info) 

I think that is it for now.

Musical Tuesday with a Mix of Novella News

4/2/2013

It's Tuesday again. So I prepare you for my little rant on this song, because I have one. When I first heard this song. To be honest, I HATED It. I thought this song started weird and is it me or does she sound a little demented as she yells that she never wants to fall in love but is technically in love and avoiding the reality. So, let's see I picked this song because after repetitive play on the radio. The song is growing on me like mold grows in a basement. The worst part is I sing along and i'm still not convinced i like the song.Sorry for the ramble, Are there any other songs that make you feel this way?

More Exciting News coming your way!

Distrust (1.5 in the Secrets Trilogy) be prepared to see for free at Ebook Retailers coming soon. I originally planned to release this only my website but plans change and because of that change I didn't release it in March either. I can't give an exact date but expect it in the near future.

Next is In The Beginning (.5 in The Rena Files)
To be honest, I didn't know I wanted to write this until a few weeks ago. This won't be seeing publication until the Fall at least but it will also be a Freebie. 

For more information on Distrust or In the Beginning check out their new tabs!

Silly Coincidences!

So yesterday sifting through the wonderful world of Social Media. I came across a picture someone posted on facebook. The first thing i thought OMG! that looks exactly like my Jesse (See Rena Files if not sure who i'm talking about) would look. Funny story. When i make my guys i usually model them after some heart stopping hunk i've seen on tv, movies, or in real life (Mostly, tv and movies though.) The inspiration for Jessie was my imagination of a teenage Ian Somerholder (if u haven't guessed i absolutely love him!!! Let's not tell my boyfriend that though!) So back to the point i saw this picture and was saying Jesse!! So i figured maybe i should give i real picture of how i picture my favorite boys. 
So to the left is what i picture Jesse Harris to look like (The Rena Files)





Picture
Next is Ian (See i told you i love Ian somerhalder) Molina. (Secrets Trilogy) 

Picture
Another Secrets' hottie, Max Harlow (Secrets Trilogy.) 
Happy Oogling! Don't forget to not drool on ur computer or other device!

P.S. Don't forget next week the Rena Files will be free!! For more information check out the blog below!

December and my random thoughts

11/28/2011

10 Comments

 
Right around the corner is a wonderful month of gifts, overeating, and family get togethers. It also happens to be the time of finals and last minute projects. Among the chaos that is my life right now I am still prepping Rena Files for it's December debut but in the little free time i have i actually found time to finish editing Hidden the 2nd book in the secrets trilogy. I am hopeful to have everything done accordingly but if i'm missing for days on end. That's because the homework monster has eaten away at the little free time i've had. I think i am planning to have the first 2 chapters of the Rena files up on my site within the next few weeks with a working cover. 

Update: 11-28-11 9pm so guys great news Rena Files cover is up and about tell me what you think!! Super excited
Peace and Love,
LL
