Co-Host and My Wrestling Stuff....

Hello All Readers,

Today I wanted to take some time out of my writing and edits that we are still running at the moment. We are getting ready for the releases of Books 2 and 3 of  'A Different Life'.  We have the first part out of Layla's story out in the form of 'A Different Life: A Christmas Tale of Two Hearts', which is apart of 'Sweet Christmas Anthology'.

We hope that the Young Adult book series 'A Different Life: Three Lane Highway' and 'A Different Life: A Valentines Day Save' will be what you are all looking forward to reading, whether its on a Romance level or a Wrestling level we just hope that its something that makes you want to take the step into this unknown genre.

When it comes to this Series I was seriously honoured when David Herro said he was interested within the series since he is a well known media Wrestling Reporter. I have really paid attention to his work in the PWR Report Shows on Youtube and its nice to see someone else, who misses the attitude era. I feel like he might understand the idea I have used. I have used what the pop culture is like right now and what the attitude era was like. I placed both of those things into the 'A Different Life Series'.  I have kept it in a PG form so that teenagers can enjoy the book series, even though I'm not a huge fan of PG. I look forward to hearing what he thinks of the books that we have really aimed at the Young Adult genre.

Now on to my Co-host, who will be starting with me officially in June/July time has all ready started to help me with the show in regards that she is doing promotional video's promoting me and she is also helping me with Skype. I have other things I'm working on too with her.  She is the only woman alive, who knows my secrets when it comes to both my writing and to my life.

Me and 'Daft Dead Debz' or as I sometimes call her 'Triple D' has been my best friend for over 5 years.  She has been the person that has always supported my careers adventures. Through thick and thin we have been together. That is why I chose her to be my co-host.  Not only that, but if the 'A Different Life Series' ever went to film then I would call her right away to ask her to be Kathy. ( The older sister of Layla, Marie in the A Different Life Series.)

She is the one of the only 3 reasons that 'A Different Life' exists and its thanks to her that it will continue to grow.  So I hope that you will watch out for her and enjoy the stuff she is up too.  We are an awesome team and can't wait to work with her more.

I will sign off for now and I hope to be back in a few days to present the covers of 'A Different Life Series' books 2 and 3. Thank you for stopping by and loads of love.

PLEASE MIND and check me out on the 12th with Marty over at Tony Angelo's Radio Station show 'Robin Falls Kids- Dreams of Our Children With Tony Angelo'. 



Dedicated

I decate this short Story to someone I love to pieces, Annette and to my wonderful boyfriend Ian.

Foreword

'My 1st ever Murder, Mystery/ Horror Short Story. I hope you like it'.

Kristal McKerrington

Sherry awoke on the cold wooden floor boards of, which smelt of pee, stale booze and something that reminded her of the city rubbish dump. Sherry kept her eyes held tightly shut, too scared to open them as her senses searched about her.

All that Sherry could sense was the old wooden floor board beneath her, the strange smells and the feeling like she was being watched. Sherry couldn't hear anything at all around her, no traffic, no sounds of anyone near her. It was that small fact that made her feel safe enough to open her eyes.

When she did let her eyes slide open, she was blinded by the Sun streaming in through the gap between what looked like World War Two curtains. Everything other then the light was blurry as Sherry's eyes started to refocus slowly.

Sherry though was about to wish she hadn't opened her eyes as she saw a pale white body in nurses scrubs laying in a mangled positing on the floor infront of her. A scream tried to rip out of throat, but nothing came. She was all screamed out. There wasn't even a trace of her voice left.

Finding some scrap of hope, Sherry crawled towards the mangled body, hoping that she might still be alive. Rolling the body over and moving the hair out of the body's face, Sherry saw the woman's last ever look of nothing, but pure terror. The crusted blood in the body's hair, the puncture wound in her neck long since had stopped bleeding and the shot sword was laying low in her stomach told Sherry that the body had certainly not had a pain less death.

Sherry's emotions all built up fast as tears broke the banks of her all ready swollen eyes. Fear started to over take her as she closed the woman's eyes for her.

Trying to move over to the window was when Sherry felt the tug of the iron shackle that was attached to her ankle. The black rusty shackle dug and tore into her ankle like a wild dog. Panicking Sherry even further as she pulled and tore at it with all her strength, but it made no difference to it. She was unable to even shift it.

Closing her eyes, Sherry sobbed endlessly knowing that there was no way to escape. All her reporting, all those cases she was solving she had done for the police had gotten nothing, but kidnapped by the brutal murders, who were running repent through Inverness. This was to be Sherry's last story.

She was trying to help the police bring down the group, who called themselves 'The Last Vikings'. They were targeting the English and Foreigner settlers of Inverness. It was the English and the Foreigners that they blamed for destroying Scotland and for destroying their Viking heritage.

Looking at the name tag on the body, Sherry worked out that the nurse was from Essex, England. It was then her stomach turned and Sherry staggered an fell over to the black bucket in the back of the room, which was right next to where her chain was connected to the wall.

After heaving for the third time, Sherry finally sat back against the wall. Sherry panted endlessly against the burning of her throat as the want for this to end started to raise up from deep within her. The want for this to end was so powerful it made drugs look like candy.

Glancing around the room one more time, Sherry searched for something to give her hope. That was when she eyed her bag, poking out from behind the table leg of this massive wooden table that was set infront of an old fireplace. The table was the single piece of furniture in the whole room.

Scrabbling, crawling and falling Sherry made her way over to her bag, where she dumped the contents into her lap so not to draw attention to the fact she had come too. Everything was there bare her mobile phone. Sherry let out a screech of frustration as she placed her hand to her head. It was there that she felt a hot liquid come in contract with her freezing cold hand.

Removing her hand, Sherry saw her own blood covering her hand. Seeing her own blood caused Sherry to look up in fear of throwing up again. That was when Sherry saw a message on the wall in big bold letters. She wasn't sure what they had use to write it, but there in a red colour was 'We will kill to protect Scotland, if only someone had protected us. We will end the foreigners before they destroy our Scotland.'

All around the wall were smaller pieces of writing. Very slowly taking her newly re-stuffed bag, Sherry made her way towards the wall where she saw loads of different handwritten messages in black ink. Messages were all different from 'Help,' 'I'm Innocent' to 'please let me go' were decorating around it with dates written below those messages by the same hand as the one who wrote the big central messages.

The journalism side of Sherry suddenly kicked in as she took photo's of the wall. Before she made a shaky goodbye message entry into her Video camera before she crawled over to the wall by the fireplace where she looked for a place to stash it.

Moving her hand over the brick wall, Sherry felt and tested the stones and bricks till she found a lose one. When she pulled it free it was then that she saw loads of notes and photo's. Sherry had a gut twisting and sicking feeling that these were from the killers other victims. Dragging them out Sherry shoved them into her bag before she shoved her bag right to the back of the hole. She made enough room for the Camera to see out.

It was then that Sherry heard a noise so she pushed hard to put the stone back in before crawling as fast as she could back to the spot where she had woken up as quickly as she could. When the door opened and spilled more light into the room it was then that Sherry saw the head detective that she had been helping solve all the cases come in with three other men, dressed in the old Viking traditional wear. They slammed the door shut behind them and Sherry knew all was lost.

Sherry might have lost her life that day, but what she had done in the mire minutes before he death, saved the lives of many men and women. The police were able to identity the circle of the Viking murders from the Video and the detective was finally stopped.

Sherry will never be forgotten for her bravery.

The End...........

Braving The Wrestling Road

Hello Readers, 


I might not be a Wrestler, but a writer in their world has a really hard job surviving. I guess you could ask me the question, then why are you braving the road? 


Why are you doing this?


What would make you want to put it all on the line? 


Tonight I'm going to open up to you and tell you straight from the shoulder. 

' Back when I was a little girl I had to fight for my education to be kept in mainstream, I had to fight for my movement, for my freedom and sometimes my life. I came across a Wrestling tape not long after my best friend Rosy died. I was lost and I watched the most amazing thing that day. I can't remember who it was, all I remember feeling was that I wanted to see more. 


That was what I did. It wasn't long before I was sucked into the storylines, the characters, the costumes and the entertainers (Wrestlers) themselves. My life was in a dark time where I was under constant bullying and there was more then once I thought about throwing the towel in. 


It was about that time my ideals entered the screen. Shane Helms, Sean Waltman, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Amy 'Lita' Dumas and later on Shannon Moore. My dreams were restarted. I was allowed to believe again that there might be a life outside of this condition that was like being at war 24/7. I use to go to sleep in pain and wake up in pain. I use to be so scared of watching those I loved dying infront of me that I would have night terrors. 


My ideals gave me the strength to find myself, gave me the chance to get myself back up on my feet and fight for what I believed in. I was slapped across the face repeatedly for believing in Wrestling and for loving a certain one. I was bullied then for my love of wrestling and less about my condition. 


My condition will be with me for the rest of my life and I will never get to wrestle, but I can give back. I can give them their dream. I can see them take my characters to live and create a world that some other kid or teenager can get sucked into. Where they can be inspired to fight back against their dark times. 


After years of the endless bullying apart of me started to feel safe in hospital, because at least there there wasn't a kid trying to rip out my feeding tube or hurt me. I would face alot things done to me over the years, but I never stopped looking up at them. I never stopped fighting. 


After my Granddad died, I thought I had lost everything. He kept telling me Matt's words "I will not die" and those words got me through the funeral and kept me going long enough for my current boyfriend to come in where he saved me from the guilt I was feeling. 


I wasn't able to start this journey just yet, I had another knock down to come. I was to face 8 weeks in hospital back in 2009 where I was going to realise something. I watched the Hardy Show for the first time and now no one will ever understand what an effect that had on me, but it made me get up and fight once again.  When I was done and out, told there was nothing they could do for my condition anymore I found the strength to fight back through my partner and the inspiration of the Hardy Show. 


It was then that I found Marty. (Cham Pain) still to this very day he will never know what he has inspired nor will he ever know how much I want to make his dreams come true. He has been there for me these last week or so as I battle with the Wrestling series and new haters coming out of the wood work. My condition coming and going, while I face even more doubt about my ability to do this. '


I'm sitting here tonight, unsure of what the future leads for my writing, but I'm turning to  you the readers to ask you to help me. Help me make a set of men's dreams come true.  Please join the movement to get these guys on set of my book series's 'A Different Life' and 'Marie's Tales'. 


These men have laid open their souls to us through the ring, they have created storylines, risked their lives to inspire people like me. I will move Heaven and Hell for these guys if I could, but I can't do this nearly impossible thing alone. I'm asking you to help me make Marty's, Matt's, Jeff's, Shane's Shannon's and my dream come true. 


Please go pick up 'A Different Life: A Christmas Tale of Two Heart's', which is apart of the 'Christmas Anthology' and tell everyone you know to go buy it. Stand behind us with posters, signs, t-shirts, whatever you can and say 'Let a girls life long dream of giving back to the men who made her fight against impossible odds come true'.


I can wish that they will come on board, but wishing isn't enough for me. I want to shake their hands as they enter the set and laugh with them as they muck up their takes. Be there to see them get their dreams. Please help us today. 


Buy a copy of 'A Different Life: A Christmas Tale of Two Hearts' under the 'Sweet Christmas Anthology' on XOXO Publishing right now.  www.xoxopublishing.com/shop-online Help me do the impossible one more time. 


Your author,

Update On My Progress

Hello Readers,

Since I have taken on the challenge to get the whole of the 'A Different Life Series' and 'Marie's Tales' written by the end of the year that means I'm going to need my cheer leading squad behind me. Chaos really does make me write better then at any other time. No idea why, but it seems that it is that way.

Today I have reached chapter 7 in the 4th book of my 20 book series. I'm doing to do a special book coming to the end of the series for Kathy and Charlie. The knowledge behind what happened, but I'm not sure yet whether or not Charlie will have his own series.  So currently I just have 16 more books to go. A huge goal, but I know with the support network behind me then its more then possible to reach it.

I have to say a HUGE shout out to my girl 'Gina' who promotes and pushing the boundaries of the industry all the time. She makes me proud to be one of her authors. Most people forget the hours she puts in and the hard work she puts in. I do notice, I see her up and I see her promoting, I love her to bits for what she does and I wanted her to know on here I was thinking of her as well as being here for her. She is the one of the very few people who can phone me at any time if she needs anything.

I have another three people who I want to push, while I'm on here. Make sure you check out Matt Hardy on his Youtube and make sure you also check out his Twitter. He has been great tweeting me twice this week and he has even Direct Messaged me on there too. He is such a gentlemen and he knows how to take care of his fans so please give him a moment of your time. All links are at the bottom of this blog.

I want to thank the Highway 2 Helms Waitress. She checks out my show and she is always tweeting me, I feel truly honoured she takes time out of her busy day to talk to me. She is also checking out the books and I hope enjoying them. Sometimes she appears in the Chat room for my show!! I really hope one day to get her on the show and have a good old girls talk on the show, maybe have a small gossip about certain men. You NEVER know with me.

I want to give one last shout out to Shane Helms and Mr Garner or ChamPain. They run an awesome show every Wednesday. (Shane Highway 2 Helms is not the same without Marty. He was greatly missed!!!) You can check the out this coming Wednesday at www.geekweek.com/live I will be in the chat room and I will be my usual chatty self. Even if its my birthday on Wednesday. I will be 22 years old this time. NO FAIR I want my 21st back again!!!

I hope to finish off Chapter 8 of the 4th book of 'A Different Life' when I get home today and maybe go on to finish the book. Keep an eye out on Twitter cause I will be updating them regularly. That link will also be at the bottom of this page. I have to go now since I'm getting my hair done and not finished chapter 7 so see you all later. More blogs coming soon! You might even get a say in who wins matches when I start writing those again.

Your Author,

Kristal McKerrington.

Why I'm So Happy!

(I added the First Show Highlight Here)
Hello all Readers,

This week I just signed 2 new contracts for 'A Different Life Series'. Its seems like everything is finally coming together for me. I have just done my 2nd show on 'Justin TV' the Highlights are below. All links will be at the bottom. Marty is on board and is doing his best to help me every way he can. Life couldn't be better.

I'm finally getting a chance to get a Series out there that people I hope will love. I'm getting my body into the shape I want and if that wasn't enough. I'm starting to see a whole new range of things for me to get involved in. I all ready have my fingers in a few pies, but this gives me a chance to really work outside of the box. To me to work outside the box and outside of Mainstream work is a 'God Send' I hate working in the same grooves as other people.

Even though its going to be hard to get across and break into other audiences, I'm just happy knowing that there is people out there who are watching my show, who are reading my books and who are happy to see Kristal McKerrington making a difference. Below you will be able to see the Highlights from the show, but I wouldn't be pushing this hard if it wasn't for Gina, Tim, Amanda and of course my biggest influence to go nuts with this series Marty.

(Personal Message To Marty Here) 'Thank you for inspiring me, getting that drive back within me and for making me laugh. I'm finding more and more confidence through you then you will ever know. I have to say that you are amazing and I can't wait to shake your hand when we finally meet in person. I hope one day we can consider each other dear friends and that you will enjoy this project/journey we are hopefully going to take together. Huge hugs. Kristal x'


Times are certainly changing and I'm more then proud of the support network we have. I love all of you the readers and fans. Heck you lot made me keep writing after each knock down I got and made me get back up. I would never have gotten with XOXO Publishing if it hadn't been, because of you lot. 


So enjoy the Video's. Say 'Hi' to Marty if you have the chance and maybe I will see you next week on 'Friday's Live Chats With Kristal McKerrington' over on Justin TV. www.justin.tv/kristal_mckerrington 


1st Shows Highlight:-

Watch live video from kristal_mckerrington on Justin.tv




Today's Highlight:-

Watch live video from kristal_mckerrington on Justin.tv


Take care and you can see me Live EVERY Friday at 12pm Est or 5pm UK time.

Kristal McKerrington, with endless love x
