News, Fashionably Late

So… I know I told y’all I would make an announcement when Amber Passion was released.

I lied.

With all due respect (to myself, I guess), I didn’t mean to lie. Or, I didn’t write the last blog with lies in mind. It just sort of happened.

The point. Amber Passion has been released! Its official release date is April 15^th, practically hours after I announced that it was done and was in the editing process. The edits (in my opinion) went over well, better than the other two Enchanters novels I have published, and I was able to publish Amber Passion very quickly. And so, it is available on e-book and will be available on paperback soon. So, go buy it. If you like. : )

The release of Amber Passion means a few things. The Enchanters Trilogy is complete. That’s awesome and sad and wonderful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Also, I am now an author of an entire series, which is a pretty cool thought. Also, it means that I now have two projects on the horizon, instead of three.

Existence has recently taken a complicated turn, and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to publish it as quickly as I wanted to. Like, today. But really, what is a novel if it’s not complicated? Right. So I’m working on it. : )

And then there’s Wonder Novel, called that partly because I don’t have an official title yet and partly because “Magical Novel” was taken. This is the novel that I’ve released a few snippets from, the one I’ve promised and promised I will release more information about after Amber Passion has been released. And I will. Post a couple chapters maybe, put a blurb together, maybe even a cover! But for now, the novel is in the beginning stages of writing a novel, and I don’t exactly have very much to go on. Except:

Hate. Illness. Imprisonment. Adventure. Love.

And with that, I’m off to write! Hope everyone is enjoying Amber Passion, their Saturday, and generally, their world. Much love.

The Enchanters... done?

Yes, yes, yes. I’ve written the last words. 

Wait, what?

Yes! Amber Passion is DONE!

It is currently with the betas, in the editing process, and should be available digitally everywhere… VERY soon. I don’t want to give out an exact date at the moment because I’d like to have it available as soon as possible, so we’ll just call it right around the corner. : )

My next project is to finish up Existence which is nearly done as well. You can read the first chapter of that here. 

And then, the new stuff I’m calling WonderNovel, because you can wonder about it until Amber Passion is released. 

Am I sad that the Enchanters series has come to a close? Not exactly. Sad as in, did I cry as I wrote the last pages of Amber Passion? Hell yeah I did. But, I’ll always have my characters. I don’t think they’ll ever leave me. And I think I’m still buzzing about the ending of Amber Passion. I think we’re going out with a bam, y’all. 

So, so, so. Busy, busy, busy. Off to editing in the morning. And then… release day!!!

Thank you so much for all your support. Those of you who have read my novels, fans of paranormal romance or not, and my friends and family who have supported this “writing thing”. Love you all. 

See you soon!!

Review: Buffalo Soldiers by Nicholas Denmon

Nicholas Denmon’s debut thriller For Nothing had me in awe from its first pages, and Buffalo Soldiers is no different. It is different, though, all the while keeping with its Upstate NY Mafia Tale tone, if that’s even possible. But it is, you know, possible, for this author, who is not just talented with words but in his writing is insightful, unique, and beautiful.

If there was one thing I never expected from this series it was to fall in love. In For Nothing it was not just Rontego (back off ladies, this one’s mine) but the things found between the lines like the elegance of murder and the necessary evils that play alongside revenge. In Buffalo Soldiers it was Ivan. I was happy to see Raf again (like catching up with an old friend if you get my drift), but Ivan was who I was after as I flipped the pages. From his introduction I was enticed by him. For reasons this brilliant author should only have the right to give away, it turned out. Ivan, and Buffalo – I was in love. I am, in love. With the art of telling a damn good story, and reading one. With Buffalo Soldiers, for having achieved this feat, this level of otherworldly wonder where the mafia meets love meets tragedy meets family meets dammit, you don’t have to do this to yourself. I mean, you don’t have to live in this warzone of fire and regret and loss… so much loss. And as you realize it you cry, and then you ask yourself what the hell am I doing? because you’re reading a freaking book, and it’s not even real.

But it is.

You can feel it. And that’s what matters to you.

Don’t pass over this book because you think it’s a mafia crime thriller and that’s not “your thing”. Read it because you like reading or because you believe in the power of the written word. Read it because you follow Nicholas Denmon on Twitter or you just don’t know what to read next. Just make sure… you read it.

There’s plenty of killing and shit, too.
