This past year I can definitely say I have found my stride when it comes to fitting writing into my busy life. With a day job, an active toddler, and a million things to do every day, I have carved out my time to write, and made the necessary sacrifices I had to make in order to be able to do so (meaning I sacrificed more sleep than I had to give, /tears!). Thus, I was able to write two novels this year. There was a time when I thought work and mommy-hood would mean I might only be able to write one book a year. But two?! That's a precedent I can live with.
It would be nice to be able to have more flexibility with my days, but I do enjoy the fact that many things are scheduled. Finding a specific time and place for certain things means they will definitely get done. Such as reading. The first three quarters of the year I read absolutely nothing! And I was not happy about it. So I scheduled reading time for my subway rides to and from work, and with my trusty Kindle in tow, I have been able to read six books in the past couple months. That's a huge accomplishment for me.
But back to writing. This year I completed the third and fourth novels in my Reanimation Files series. The Ravaging In Between took about seven months to write and was DIFFICULT. In comparison, A Torment of Savages took exactly two months + 7 days and was the easiest book I have written since the first novel, Affairs of the Dead (the second book, Requiem for the Living, was also a difficult beast to write). I think having worked through two hard books back to back, I learned a lot about how to build and pace my plots, how to handle twists, etc, so I took that knowledge and applied it to the fourth book. Therefore I was able to avoid a lot of the pitfalls I encountered with Requiem and Ravaging. I've been writing for over a decade, but there's always new things to learn! Especially when writing a series. A Torment of Savages restored my faith that the book writing process doesn't have to be difficult or long. Some books will just challenge you in different ways than others.
Moving into 2016, I am looking forward to publishing A Torment of Savages, and working on the fifth book in The Reanimation Files. I have also been thinking about writing a sequel to Black Widow Witch, so maybe that will be my next project. As long as a story comes to me and Reanimation Files #5 doesn't take over and demand that I write it instead!
This was a good writing year. It has made me feel confident that I don't have to sacrifice my writing career just because I am a busy, working mother. So I look forward to the novels I will produce in 2016, and the books I'll read on the train.
Happy New Year everyone!

These are a Few of My Favorite [Literary] Things
In the spirit of the season I thought I would share some of my favorite literary items that I've come across, which would make great gifts for the book lover or writer in your life. I love coming across cool or unique items, and when it comes to anything to do with being a writer or bookworm, that goes double. Here are a few things I'm really digging:
Writing Gloves
These gloves are from Storiarts. I already own their Pride and Prejudice and Secret Garden Book Scarves. I love these writing gloves! My hands can look stylish while I write.
Awkward Silence pillow
Ah awkward silences. Not good in read life, not good in a story. This Awkward Silence Pillow is one of the many adorable pillows from Awkward Animal. I already own the Koala, Giraffe, and Rhino. The intent was to buy these for my toddler, but if I'm being honest, they're more for me. I will definitely be adding the awkward silence (and many others) to my collection!
Book Worm Ring
I came across this Book Worm Ring while browsing Amazon and love how simple it is. And I love that it's from Amazon's Handmade section!
Kindle Cases
Let's face it, there are tons of cute Kindle cases out there, especially on Etsy. I've even made my own. I've been looking for a new case for my Kindle and this is one (of many) that I really like.
Handmade Journals
I came across this Handmade Journal seller while perusing Pinterest. I love hand-bound journals, as well as handmade paper. My Creative Writing teacher gifted me with one in high school, which I still have. Maybe in another post I will showcase literary things that I actually own!

Review! Claiming the Succubus by Lorien Lyn
Today I'm reviewing a fellow Etopia author, Lorien Lyn, and her novella, Claiming the Succubus!
Excerpt:
Book Description:
Being a Succubus has
its perks…until the hunter becomes the hunted.
For half-breed
succubus Ava Hawley, hunting supernatural foes is worth all the risks and
rewards. But when a wolf shifter is responsible for kidnapping her sister, the
mission becomes personal. Ava is ordered to track down the bad boy and turn him
over to her boss. That is, until she meets the dangerously sexy shifter and
realizes her charm—the kiss of death—is no match for the charms of her
opponent.
Alpha werewolf
Killian Reid is on the run from a demon mistress, but someone else is on his
tail—a stunning seductress with more sex appeal than any woman ought to have.
And Killian can't resist her. Proving his innocence will be a challenge, but
with every moment that he spends with her, Ava’s self-control weakens. And as
their attraction grows, she knows she’ll have to rely on the shifter she'd been
sent to capture, or they’ll both become victims to another predator…
Excerpt:
Ava reached out for Killian's hand and pulled him to
the side. The movement to touch him was
instinctual. “I can't let you risk it
alone. This is my battle too.”
“We don't have time, love.” He took hold of her
chin, running his thumb over her bottom lip. Not giving it too much thought—and
because she wanted to—she thrust her tongue out and licked him. The taste of
mornings in spring and mint burst into her mouth. She gasped softly and his
eyes darkened. “Save it,” he growled low. “I know what you're trying to do.”
Her gaze lowered. Defeated.
“We'll talk later when this is all over.” He leaned
forward, leveling his eyes with hers. “The part about us.”
“Won't happen if we go with your plan.”
“It's the only way to gain access into the estate.”
“What if it doesn't work?” Concern spiraled in her
gut.
“We won't know if we don't try.”
She couldn't help but wonder if he was referring to
them again. The thought of them together had crossed her mind a couple of
times, but she couldn't envision being with the wolf. A possessive shifter was
dangerous all around. The man's aura radiated nothing but danger and violence.
The telltale hint of darkness and dominance gave it away. Besides, wolf
shifters mated for life and Ava didn't know if she was ready for that.
My Review
Claiming the Succubus was a fun, and steamy read! We meet Ava and Killian: she's a succubus and he's a werewolf. From the moment they meet sparks fly and it's not long before things get hot and heavy. But they also have problems on their hands in the form of Ava's missing sister and the fact that it looks like a setup is underfoot by someone Ava thought was trustworthy. I enjoyed the balance between unraveling the mystery and developing Ava and Killian's magnetic attraction. The steamy scenes did not disappoint! I loved the back and forth between the two, Killian is seriously swoon worthy. Definitely give this one a read.
Four Stars!

Spotlight! Pure Justice by Liah Penn
Book Description:
In an uncertain future where the Impures—genetic
defectives—are banished to a ghetto territory, Detective Ina Stone and her
rookie partner, Sam Fujimoto, constantly fight for survival. But when a
murdered Impure is discovered in the projects with only a business card in his
pocket, the clues lead them into the shadowy underworld of black market trade
and human trafficking. After Sam is kidnapped by the Yakuza crime syndicate,
Ina must hide her own defect to go undercover as a human trafficking victim.
Accompanied by a Tebori master and a new detective with her own secrets, Ina
must find a way to free Sam without exposing his role in the investigation, or
getting herself killed in the process.
Excerpt:
He lay face
down on the pavement, his shoes missing, blood staining the concrete and
forming an unlikely halo around his head. It was a fresh kill, and I was
surprised it had been called in so quickly. A death like this could go
unnoticed for hours, if not days, especially down here in the Rainbow Alley
projects.
I felt a
movement at my elbow. Melker had arrived with a new tech, Roselli, and they
scurried to place screens to protect the integrity of the scene. I looked down
at my feet. I hadn’t even put on protective footwear. I stepped back gingerly.
“Couldn’t
wait for me, eh?” Melker tugged me gently out of the way. “Get your suit on
before you contaminate my crime scene.”
He was
right, of course. I should have waited until his arrival. I stepped over to the
open tailgate of the Death Examiner wagon and dug into a supply box, pulling
out a paper suit, shoe protectors, and a face mask. It was the middle of the
night and I was dead tired. I perched on the wagon’s tailgate and put on the
protective gear. My stomach churned while I waited for Melker’s permission to
return to the body.
I felt the
bile in my throat rise and I bolted around the side of the van, where I heaved
my dinner into the gravel and dirt. I then pressed my cheek against the cool
glass window and took several deep breaths. Damn, that was close. I swiped my
mouth with my sleeve.
The two
patrol guys who had answered the call were standing at the tailgate, waiting
for me. They gave me a funny look as I emerged from behind the wagon.
“You OK,
Ina?” Officer Jim Lee asked, his notebook in hand.
I nodded but
I didn’t feel fine. My hormones were raging. I was only a couple of months in,
but this pregnancy was knocking my socks off. I tucked my withered hand into a
pocket. “What’ve you got?”
Lee looked
down at his notes. His expression was passive, as if he saw this kind of thing
all the time. “Called in at one o’clock, about an hour ago. I was here within
four minutes of the call. Chuy was right behind me. The guy wasn’t dead yet.”
“He wasn’t?”
I was surprised. I had been called out as a detective to an Unattended Death.
“No paramedics?”
“By the time
they got here, he was gone.” Lee fingered the pages of his notepad, then closed
it with a snap of his wrist.
“So they
left? I must have just missed them. I was here…”
“Within ten
minutes,” Lee said, “I know. They got a radio call and took off. Sorry.”
I glanced
over at Melker. Hadn’t he finished with the screens yet? The aged streetlight
only partially illuminated the scene, coloring everything with an amber hue. I
saw the new tech setting up a spotlight. It would be a few more minutes before
I’d be allowed back over to examine the body.

Description:
Selene is slowly dying...too
bad that’s the least of her problems.
You could say that Selene
Vanream has a lot of problems. First there’s the Rot that’s slowly killing her,
despite everything Ilyse and Micah are doing to find a way to save her.
Then there’s Andrew, the
ghost of her boss who is anchored to the living world. Selene would like to
ignore him, but anchored ghosts with unsettled business turn into anchored
beasties, so she can’t write him off. The government has sent a team to post up
at Affairs of the Dead and keep an eye on her, which includes making sure she
plays up to Andrew to keep him from turning.
On top of that, someone is
using Selene’s new power to create anchored ghosts for their loved ones to keep
around. Not good since the culprit doesn’t have a clue about that whole
anchored beastie angle. Now Selene has a criminal to catch while trying to stay
out of the hands of government goons who have stripping her reanimation power
on their agenda.
When Micah and Ilyse finally
find a way to save her, Selene thinks she can cross one bad thing off her
list--until she learns the terrible price that must be paid to keep her alive.
Full plate doesn’t cover it. Overflowing plate doesn’t cover it. Selene’s plate
has damn near exploded.
Excerpt:
There were
a few things that made me feel like my day was not off to the best start. For
starters, I had overslept by an hour and a half so I was monstrously late for
work. Then there was the scent of smoke creeping into my bedroom accompanied by
loud swearing, which meant my ghost roommate had made a disaster of whatever he
was trying to procure for breakfast. The sky was overcast so it’d probably be a
rainy day. I had a slight headache…and oh yeah, I was looking into my backyard
at my Yorkie, Luna, digging furiously in the dirt. I was almost certain what
she was trying to unearth wasn’t one of her toys.
I stood
there for a few moments more, trying to decipher what it was that Luna was
pawing at, then shook my head and ran out of my bedroom. I almost collided with
Ethan, who was on his way to my room with a frying pan in his gloved hand and
the charred remnants of what he’d come to dub the wake-up bacon.
“It’s
burnt, but I figured waving it under your nose would still get you out of bed
any—Hey, what’s wrong?”
I brushed
past Ethan and ran into the yard where I snatched up Luna, then had a good,
hard look at what she’d been wrestling with. I’d been hoping that it was some
oddly shaped root or five fingered toy I didn’t remember buying for her, but
no, it just had to be the worst possible thing.
A human
hand.

Blog Tour Review - Like a Box of Chocolates by Justin Bienvenue
Description:
Take
every notion, feeling, experience and expectation that you have on poetry and
throw it up in the air, just take everything you’ve ever known about it and
toss it aside. Not because the boundaries of what makes it so are being broken,
and not because simple fundamentals and poetic structures are being altered, no
that’s not it at all. Simply take a deep breath, relax and remember that
nothing is off limits, nothing is too right or too wrong or completely outside
the box(pun totally intended). So untie that bow, put your hand on the corner
and open…open the book and take in that fresh page aroma and all the splendid
“flavors” that is poetry.
Excerpt:
Marshmallow Street
The birds glide and fly in the air
Doing what they do best
Just like a road the skies they share
as their driving is put to the test
The birds glide and fly in the air
Doing what they do best
Just like a road the skies they share
as their driving is put to the test
A
pilot flies his jet with force
Doing tricks and trying to break sound
As he maneuvers, nature takes it course
As he lands safely upon the ground
Doing tricks and trying to break sound
As he maneuvers, nature takes it course
As he lands safely upon the ground
A
plane travels high above
As it departs from city to city
Look out, look down and fall in love
As the site is beyond pretty
As it departs from city to city
Look out, look down and fall in love
As the site is beyond pretty
All
these things may share the sky
But one thing makes them complete
And if you yourself could also fly
You could join them on Marshmallow street
But one thing makes them complete
And if you yourself could also fly
You could join them on Marshmallow street

Review
Like a box of chocolates was an interesting collection of
poetry. One word to describe it would be eclectic. The author writes
about various topics, some dark, some lighter, and the poems themselves
varied from more literal to a bit more
metaphoric.
As a poet myself, I read this collection with a more
critical eye, looking for depth and nuances and things that made me stop
and think. This collection was more on the simpler side, which is not a
bad thing. The differences between the pieces showcases the author's range of creativity. I have read a lot of poetry
that I just could find no meaning to, but with this collection I was able to see where the author was going with his words, what picture
he was trying to build for the reader, or what emotion he was trying to invoke.
It's a good start towards a serious path as a poet if that
is what the author wishes to pursue. Go on and give this a read.
Three stars!

That Writing Life
Surprise! I'm still busy and still have not found time to blog regularly. Or maybe that's not really a surprise.
So what have I been up to lately? Affairs two has been turned in to my publisher and I'm eager to start edits on it and get it ready for release, which will hopefully be in April. And even though I didn't think I'd get into book three this quickly, it's on a roll. Which is good because book two is coming out two years after Affairs of the Dead, which is too big of a gap in my opinion but I had great excuses: pregnancy, new mommyhood, and massive writer's block. But I'm determined not to let two years pass before book three comes out so who knows, I may have two releases this year!
So far book three isn't producing any major headaches, I've gotten to about 15k words and still know where I'm going even though I haven't written many notes at all. Definitely a book I'm pantsing. I won't get too optimistic though, I got all the way to the halfway mark with book two before I hit that impenetrable wall. But, it's good to be writing. To be able to incorporate that into my life with everything else I have going on feels very much like a victory. Plus it's exciting to get a series going, I love developing my characters and expanding the world they live in.
On another front, the blog tour business is doing well. Red Moon Book Tours has been open for a little over two months and between current, upcoming, past, and now booking, I've got about seventeen tours. It's challenging, but I enjoy the work, and enjoy helping authors get exposure for their books.
Only bummer in my literary life is that I have not been reading. At all. The time for that just isn't forthcoming. I have a lot of books I've started, and books I want to start. So I guess that's the next thing I have to tackle. For now I'll just be envious of all of you who can read, read, read!
