Hello there my readers,
I'm proud to annouce that this morning i signed the contract for XOXO Publishing on the peice called. 'The Highlander with The Ink' and now am a mainstream author! Yes, it really has happened we are getting there and I really want to thank you for supporting me this far. I really don't know what I would have done without all of you.
So as soon as I can I will see if I can arrange a competition of some kind! Yes, am going to be that Awesome. The prizes will be nice as well and might even stretch for doing up a t-shirt! Yes me and t-shirts not sure how that will work.
I really want to thank my friend Denyse because without her I would have been running my flat going mad because, as so many of you know I hate waiting and can't wait at all! So I really want to thank her and as soon as 'The Highlander with The Ink' is out I will see if I can organise a signed copy for you hun!
The other person I really want to thank is 'Bernie Morries' who was my editor of 'Freedom Is Earned' because she is one of the people who without I would have quiet writing for good. She and Rachel Caine kept me in it and am so very grateful for that. Rachel Caine told me to never give up and Bernie made me believe in my own writing.
Today the weather maybe horrible outside but, am dancing and singing on the inside. Oh crap! Need to get printer ink! Don't you hate it when your print dies in between a print job!
Anyway Mocha's all round. Oh and am adding swirly cream! You need to treat yourself once and a while! I have managed to get through reading through another piece this morning.
'The Wonderer of The Rings' a wrestler just as hot as John Cena yet as talented as Jeff Hardy awaits for you all as soon as I can get my head down to finish it.
'Ambers Diaries; The Forever Frat Boy and The Nurse' is about half way so I have that to get on with as well.
'The Wrestler On The Prowl' I managed to finished last night so that will be going towards a specail project which, I will tell you all about later on.
'Highlander In Love' is waiting to be written. Yes all another half naked kilted man who has super powers and he really is another Norse God. Its part of the Errotic ones am doing currently. Yes I do Errotic too.
I think that is all my news for the moment. I will keep you posted and sorry I haven't been writing but, I have had a lot on my plate and need to deal with alot of stuff. We have an intreveiw up with the lovely Mahalia L on 28th July, another intreview on the 13th July and of course my live chat on August 22nd! So busy busy and at least this way you will get to know me all that bit better.
Take care of for now and oh I have the weird song 'Thong Song' stuck in my head. The things I listen to a?

Another Entry For You......
Hello to all my readers,
I have just started to realise that maybe I can have the dreams that I have been hanging onto by the very ends of my fingernails for most of my life. I started some of my writing idea's years ago. I started to have idea's for what I saw myself writing back when I was just ten. I was told I couldn't be a writer. I was told to get a proper career because, that was what I needed to live on. I couldn't have been more wrong to have listened to the adults that told me that. For four years of my life, I was miserable and hated what I was stuck in.
Then last year I started to write. I took the dream that had sat in my closet for so long and I started to live it. It wasn't my overall dream because, that was to fall in love, have the man of my dreams ask me to marry me and to have the children I had always envisioned in my mind. This dream that I wanted though to be the writer that brought people inspiration. The same inspiration I needed when I was younger to survive my life.
As many of you know that reads my blogs, that watches my Video's never realised this but, the first book I released was such a mess I was ashamed of it. I felt conned, betrayed and hurt by it but, I couldn't let myself give up so I pulled it together and then started the Fire book. I had the idea for a while and when I finished it recently it felt great. I was so glad to have done it. Now am looking forward to the next one.
Although that isn't the biggest part of my writing dream. I wanted to be the one to set Shetland apart from the places I had stayed. I have every reason to hate the Island but, I also have every reason to love it. That is why I wrote the TV script of a lifetime. This took me about 11 years to get to the point that its now on paper. I didn't want to write down all the things I had been holding onto until I could see that there was an actor out there that would be good enough to make Aaron come to life. To be able to know what he would do in every situation, to just become him. I think I have found that person. I also believe I've found his best friend who was someone else I didn't think would be able to be filled by the actors I was seeing. I was so wrong.
I have found not only that person. I never thought that I'd find the person I could trust to direct it. I have also found the person that I can trust to do that. I know that the first season is flowing out of me now. I know that when I present this person with my huge information, Episodes packet then I know there is a huge chance that they might reject this but, if they do then it will never seen the light of day. 'Island of Lies' is something that could show off the bountifulness of the Island yet the audience would be caught up there while, I powerful storyline would tie them up in ribbons of words and feelings. I hope that its good enough for them.
It would make sure that I have achieved my dream by the first step into the water. I will make sure that its not the last. I have strict terms on the contract movie rights to all my books which, means that if my new book is famous then I will at least see it the way that I want it. I just want to keep writing now that I have started and I hope that through being open an somehow honest with my readers that it will help to keep my dreams alive.
Here is the link that will take you to me doing the voice over part of 'Island Of Lies' to give you a chance to hear what I sound like reading it. I hope that it stirs something up inside of you. Please let me know what you think. If you love it then please tell me, tell your friends, hell even twitter your thoughts. I was going to say how it was you should tell that you love this but, then I don't want to upset the three that I believe I can trust with this. To trust them with this is taking alot. I just hope they can see something special in it. I hope you can too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkBvWtjVHoQ
I will leave you now to hear my entry and to see if you love it just as much as I do.

Free's Update and What Am Up Too?
Hello all,
Readers today there is a smallest announcement for you all. Am working on Fire but, we are trying to decide whether or not I should publish it under a Pen Name. That is what the hold up is currently. I will let you know when we decide to publish and where we are publishing. I'm very grateful for all of your patience and I can understand that some of you are really wanting to be apart of this journey that is why am going these blogs.
Currently while, we are taking the time to make that huge decision we have been working on 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway's' re-write. Its going well but, we will be taking more time with it and I promise that it will be a clearer and better read for you all. The character will have the same personalities that you fell in love with but, there will be more of the storyline that I held back from you all.
'A Different Life Series' will be published along side the series of 'Amber's Diaries' and the 'Free Series'. Many of you know that I want to be a series novelist and that will be my main aim so you will have to wait for some of the books for each series as I work between all three of them. I have some book idea's that aren't going to be apart of the series so that ones I will keep you updated with.
I will say that I have a book that I'm going to working on after I finish 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' and ' A Different Life; My Sacrifice' that is for a two people who have sent some inspiration my way. I will name them later on within the future blogs am doing. I will though leave you with the name of the book that I plan to decate to the those two. 'The Forever Frat Boy Meets The Nurse' and that is apart of one of the three Series that I have mentioned above.
I am working endlessly behind the scenes to make sure that you will have books that you can read forever and will want to keep forever. Once of which, I'm sure will send some of my most creative fans into the world of writing. If I am able to inspire you like that then I will really have achieved something and I'd be so proud to meet you in the world of writing.
On here I will advise you all the best I can with your writing if I can but, understand if I can't help you with a problem then I will say to you..Other then that I'm glad to be apart of the Writing world and am very happy to have people out there all ready who love what I do.
:D Big smiley faces to you all who have been my endless new fans! Thank you. :D
I will sign off now because I do have to finish 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' to give you all something to read while, I continue to create some awesome story-lines for you. Yes, I know am blowing my own trumpet but, to be honest someone has too because there wouldn't be a person out there that will do it for me. NO big head promise.
Take care and promise insights soon,
The Author!

Third Entry To My World
Hello all,
I'm feeling awful today because, I had to have a Vitamin D injection! I have to finish 'Fire's hand-written draft by tomorrow! I'm just three chapters away but, feel really awful. I still haven't decided who to go for but, I have narrowed it down to two in my mind that I would love to share this amazing story with. Bronwyn's Editions or Samhain Publishing!
The writers, women in the Cafe at Samhain Publishing are just wonderful. I have enjoyed sharing the Pictures, Video's, Book insights and more that they are all up too. My email box is always buzzing now. Thanks to them I really want to publish a book with Samhain some day because, I think they will get my writing better then any other of the people who I have shared my writing so far with.
I have just realised that as soon as I finish 'Fire' then am going to have to start work on making 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' alot better because, I feel that its the book that might be able to get signed at Samhain if I really polish it up. That will be hard I know but, I know I can do it. That series deserves to be read and to be cherished! I have a feeling that the wonderful women in the Cafe will be those people. From there I know that I can go out and make the book something that the 'Hardy's, TNA and the WWE' will want to be involved with. I will though need you all to help me with that by buying it when it comes out again.
I hope though through sharing my mind with you all that their will be a fan connection that you will never forget. I am aiming to not be like those people who have caused me to have a bad fan experiences in the past. I hope that this will be a good thing for me to do in the future because, I am going to use Twitter alot more, set up a fan space section of Facebook. That way if someone leaves me a message then I will answer. The same with Myspace. I wouldn't be like some of the people I idealise that go on the sites tell people their thoughts but, then ignore them because they are famous and we aren't.
*Rant over promise*
I want to remind my readers on here to please check out two shows that am able to chill out too. They have a different set of humour but, you are guaranteed a laugh though The Hardy Show might just also shock you too. Both of these shows I can see on our TV screens at some point in the future because, the people who are in them are just have the energy that makes both of the shows click.
The Hardy Show is a mixed entertainment show that reaches out to all audiences and type of people out there. They make you laugh with some of their comedy and they can scare you with the Y-Light-Zone along with the documentaries that are about there lives as wrestlers is something else. Jeff's story of how his house burns down in that accident brings me to tears. Its a story that can't help but, warm your heart.
The Neighbros that is on the Internet and has been recently getting alot of attention is great to watch. I feel inspiration from there shows and it gives me a really good laugh. The characters in it are well developed as well as the concept. Scott M Foster has made the show something to watch out for with his already building success from his lead role in 'Greek' while his co-actor Jaimie Jon has made the show have the perfect balance that something like that would need. You will see some great camera angles that make it look very professional and good enough to be aired on a Network TV. You also get to see a side of humour that makes it really worth watching.
So here are the links to these great shows and I hope that you will enjoy them just as much as I do. I will say to those of you have seen my comments as well as my thoughts on the recent conversation with Scott M Foster who never replied. He is a great actor, even if he only picks and chooses who to reply to then that is his deal. I might not agree with his online fan attitude but, I wouldn't stop supporting him because, his work and talent deserve the attention and the endless success that I feel like he deserves.
www.thematthardyshow.com
Neighbros are a free show while the Hardy show is a couple of Dollars that when you watch there shows you will realise are worth every cent (penny if your UK). I wish both shows the ultimate respect and I will always be a Hardy Show Mark and hope to make a contribution to there shows.
That will be my blog for now I hope to do an interview soon and will keep you as updated as possible but, with not being well at the moment am limited to what I can do. Big hugs to you all,
Enjoy!

Got Influences!
Hello all,
My readers I got through the 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' book (which, is being pulled) and they pray for me. They twitter me and support me but, I don't know what is up with me. I feel like am in a funk today. Writing is normally my release but, its been hard to focus today.
Today I had wanted to make good progress on my book and I didn't. Distracted was what I got! I wanted to finish up a huge section because, I feel like I need to finish this for Saturday because that day is special for me.
I have been addicted to Greek recently and I have been thinking of my days when I was at collage. It was a test of my wits and strength.Yes but, I miss things from those days. I know what your thinking its just another whim because I have been watching the America culture show Greek but, I don't think its that. I think the reason I have made so many mistakes with my writing is because I don't know the field am getting involved with. Its a great thing to say that I want to be involved with the Writing Industry and to be famous some day for my work but, I don't know anything!
It's weird I spent an hour on the phone with a friend of mine who is at UNI and she loves it but, everyone from my Island isn't keen on it. I was never great with money and I screwed up collage but, I was seventeen and stupid.
My readers I got through the 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' book (which, is being pulled) and they pray for me. They twitter me and support me but, I don't know what is up with me. I feel like am in a funk today. Writing is normally my release but, its been hard to focus today.
So wonderful readers out there tell me, your idea's on my funk!
