Hey. Guess what? Four people have read the rough draft to Tangled Roots, and they loved it.

Woot!

Tangled Roots has been going through critiques, edits, and rewrites. Right now it’s in the last round of edits and possible rewrites.

We’re getting close folks.

It was going to be published this summer, but now I’m not too sure. Tangled Roots is going through a lot of steps so it'll be all shiny in the end. I’ve been told this is my best book yet, so we’ll see after it’s released to the world if others agree.

Anyway, here’s the video I made.

Blurb:

After eighteen-year-old Carrie Jacobson discovers she was a witch in a previous life, she seeks to reawaken the past part of her soul. With the help of an eccentric enchantress and a boy who is more than he seems, Carrie succeeds and is spellbound by the memories of her life in the 1600s. She reverts to her bewitching, more volatile form and sets out to break a curse she cast long ago. If she succeeds, she’ll unleash a powerful force, the likes of which has not been witnessed in centuries.

Carrie’s boyfriend Jack (A.K.A. Tree) cannot help feeling unease about the changes he sees in the woman he loves. When Carrie’s past clashes with the present and dark magic intoxicates her once again, Tree must take drastic matters into his own hands and attempt to save Carrie from herself.

With Tree’s help, will Carrie be able to resist the allure of her new powers? Or will she plunge into the deep end and give into them?

Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Okay, who loves Anne Rice, raise your hand?

*raises hand*

Me! Me! Me!

I grew up reading her vampire chronicle books and The Witching Hour series.

I love them.

I remember when Interview With The Vampire came out in the theater. I didn't think Kevin would dig it, but he did. He really, really, liked it. In fact, the following week we saw it again and now we own the movie on DVD. I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise, but he did a good job on his role as Lestat. However, Tom doesn't look like him. Billy Idol totally does though . . . well, when he was younger.

Anyway, I came across this interview Anne Rice was kind enough to do. I thought I’d share it with you because it’s about writing.

Enjoy. J

This video and song, reminds me of a scene in my ‘Beyond the Eyes’ book. It’s in chapter five when Paige wants to forget about her life for a while, so she goes to a bar that allows teenagers in. You see, seventeen-year-old Paige has been receiving cryptic premonitions from a phantom voice since she was four, and after she receives a cryptic death message about herself, bizarre things begin to happen to her. Her life takes on a Twilight Zonish perplexity that her logical mind can’t solve. It’s bad enough she’s had to hide these premonitions for years, feigning normalcy, but now she doesn’t know what the hell is going on and has nobody to turn to. But then she meets Nathan–an enigmatic young man she’s drawn to. Nathan has the answers, but he won’t tell her, so she breaks up with him. Confused, heartbroken, and missing Nathan, Paige decides to go to a bar on the outskirts of town, not caring how dangerous it can be.

Anyway, every time I see this video and hear the song, I think of that scene.

Oh, guess what? The guy that was suppose to fix my roof yesterday, was a no show–again. However, he did call this time (five hours later) and said they’d start on it today. He couldn’t give me a definite time though. *rolls eyes* So if they don’t show up today, then that’s it. Monday I’ll ask for our deposit back and find somebody who is more reliable. But the good news is that the weather forecast has changed and it’s not going to snow this weekend. YAY!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
