Where have I been?!?!?!

I just wanted to take a moment to say I'm not lost in cyber-space...I promise!

I've been getting ready for the Author Reader Convention in New Orleans.

It's my very first convention that I'll be attending as a blogger and I'll be totally honest I'm on the edge a bit.

What if I screw up?

I mean I'm always a total dork so that's no big deal, but OMG!!!! There's gonna be a lot of AUTHORS that I "Fan Girl" over there...

WHOLLY BOOGERS!!!

I'm on panels and running Book Cover Bingo.....It's gonna be CRAZY!

I guess it's going to be a breathe and let the inner MINION loose!!!

************

On another note as if I don't put enough things on my plate....

You may have seen if you are apart of author Sarah Grimm's Rockstars (here) or apart of author V.A. Dold's Bayou Babes (here) I have jumped head first into making author swag.

My main thing being glass tile necklaces...

In the future I REALLY hope to have more authors on board to be able to offer all kind of covers. (If you an interested author PLEASE feel free to contact me beejee77@gmail.com)

I will have these as well as key chains, magnets, and notebooks for sale in NOLA.

************

When I return I'll be venturing a different path. My son will be heading off to Boot Camp.

It's kind of like sending you first child off to college, but just a little harder because he's going have that chance of being sent to war afterwards.......

I get to rest a bit...then I'm off to Palm Spring for InDScribe in September.....

But I promise I'll try to get some post on here through it all.....

Hope everyone's having a great summer.....or winter for those down under :)

Until the next time!!!

MINIONS RULE!!!!

Excerpt

The hum of the engine died, and Aria heard the scream of unfamiliar words in a language she didn't recognize. Shots were fired in every direction forcing her to duck, throwing herself onto the floor of the ship. James lay right beside her, covering Aria with his body, shielding her from danger. She didn't have the courage to ask what happened. The warmth and security Aria felt from James vanished. A man covered in tattoos, his arms a canvas of ink, grabbed James by the arm and dragged him across the room. The second man accompanying him lifted Aria from the floor and escorted her up the stairwell. James walked just a few feet in front. The man dropped his hold on her as the passageway narrowed. A gun pressed into her back, a constant reminder of danger. Aria couldn't fight without risking her life. She hoped these men would steal what goods they came for and then leave. Forced outside, the lifeboats were just a few feet away. The sun began to set, and the sky twinkled like a sapphire without a cloud in the heavens. Even at dusk, beads of sweat trickled against Aria's forehead. Her black shirt stuck to her back, the cargo pants she wore were too hot for this climate. She didn't dare ask where they were; she didn't believe anyone would answer. They were forced against the wall. Would the lifeboats even float anymore? The old luxury cruise liner's paint faded from years of sun exposure. What would it have been like fifty years ago, before the devastation and destruction that their parents created, taking a luxury cruise? She would never know. The Gem Apocalypse had resulted in a war with only survivors, no heroes. "Move!" the man behind Aria said. His gun dug further into her back, and she pushed forward on James's heels. "Down!" They got down onto the ground with the other crew and passengers. Six men towered over them with guns. Aria was unfamiliar with the weapons, as they were larger than the ones the guards carried at the palace. "We'll be okay," James said as he sat beside Aria, reaching for her hand. Aria wanted to ask him how he could know that without a doubt. Hope shrank like a beacon of light fading in the distance. These men were thieves. She could smell the treachery and greed from where she sat. How did they end up
here?

Emerald – a girl with green eyes and a rarity after the horrific genocide that slaughtered millions.

  After the war, King Gideon rose in power. A lust-filled and greedy king that believed in the power of slavery.

The rest were returned to their homes with a brand on their wrist proving they had been through the process and rejected. Ignoring the ritual was punishable by death.

A dystopian erotic adventure.

My Opinion

This Flashlight is BRIGHT!!! It was a lifesaver when the power decided to take a dive during a rainstorm. It not only has a built in hook so you can hang it where ever you want, but it also has to VERY strong magnets on the bottom so it can be stuck in some great places to make it extra handsfree (when YOU TOTALLY NEED IT!!)

What was really nice is it came with batteries...So I didn't have to go screaming through the house...OMG I NEED BATTERIES!!!!

I really like the ability different ways you can move this flashlight...the different angels were just awesome!!! Cooking, reading, just hanging out....it made having no power fly by.
But, that's just the main light....you can use the smaller flashlight as a more focused light if you're walking to get something from the garage in the dark or from the car...It was totally AWESOME!!!

I would totally recommend a few of these around the house ...in the kitchen drawers, the bedroom, the garage.....they aren't that costly at all. They are built tough (yes, I've dropped my a few times and it's fine) and work great.

Excerpt

"Hey!" Aria shouted, not that it did anything to stop their fighting. "Enough!" James's voice echoed in the confined space. The men let go of one another and stood, dusting off the dirt caked to their skin. A gentleman with red hair and blue eyes stepped toward Aria. He'd been one of the three fighting, a crewmember on the ship. "Do you know what they're having us do?" he asked. "No," Aria said, glancing back at the die lying on the floor. Aria rolled the large die slightly with her hand. It stood up to her waist in height, though it felt lighter than it looked. She'd never seen a die quite so large. Who made it? "The festival tonight is entertainment for the commander and the tribe. She's choosing two from the pit and they'll have to do whatever the die says." Aria swallowed nervously as she further examined the giant die. One side showed two people battling with swords. Aria frowned, turning the die onto another side, it revealed a pictograph of two men with guns in a shoot-out. That wouldn't end well for someone. Her heart skipped a beat, and she rolled the die onto another side, covering her lips in surprise. Was that a paddle? Her cheeks burned and she took a step back from the die. James didn't appear nearly as affected as Aria from the news. He stepped forward, resting his hand on her lower back. "Do we know who has been elected for the festival?" Kali shook her head. "The commander chooses two worthy opponents from the pit of invaders and mainlanders. Seeing as how the mainlanders have assimilated or died," Kali said, clearing her throat, "it's safe to say that one of you that has not been chosen by a tribe member, will be selected."
