Oh no - NaNo!
Usually, I love the month of November...
The fall colors, the crisp Autumn air, and NaNo!! National Novel Writing Month.
But this year...not so much.
I've had sick kids, a broken furnace, out of town visitors, and my word count has suffered because of it.
But...I still feel very motivated in what I have accomplished, since I now have over 27,000 more words than I did three weeks ago.
So while I may not be considered a "winner" of NaNo this year, at least I'm almost halfway done with my next book! Yay! *Throws confetti*

Release Day
ARADIA AWAKENS
Now Available
And in case you haven't seen it...here's the book trailer!
Please note: While the short-story companions in this series are YA, the main books are very much ADULT PNR due to the explicit sex scenes.
And finally, to all my fans...thank you all for supporting this new endeavor!

Flutter Blog Tour
Today I'm very excited to welcome Melissa Andrea for my stop of her Fluttober Blog Tour.
I have the honor of sharing the bios for her amazing characters: Sara, Adan, and Andres.
So without further ado...
Sara Alejandra Marquez
The
Spanish beauty that attracts the attention of everyone with her dark,
mesmerizing, shimmery, skin, cascading midnight black hair, and wild hazel
eyes.
At 17,
her problems should be minimal, but Sara finds nothing insignificant about
being buried alive or the Fluttering sensation coursing just beneath her skin,
coming to life every time she is around the mysterious boy. Sara can’t fight
the attraction she has to Adan or the maddening effects he has on her. With the
constant fighting out home with her uncle, Andres, she takes refuge in the arms
of the wrong guy.
As Sara
searches for answers, she finds the more time she spends with Adan, the more
she realizes he might not be as mysterious as she thinks.
“The silkiness of his voice was a torturous caress
that I was willing to endure for the rest of my
life.” – Sara
Adam Reyes Delacruz
Is the new guy in town, with his striking
dark hair, sun kissed skin, and intensely, electric blue eyes, that spark out
of control every time he is around Sara.
Created for Sara and Sara alone, his need to live and die to keep her safe will go much further then just wanting to keep her protected. Having been close enough to touch her, smell her, he can longer blend into the background of her life.
Adan’s battle has been lost, but Sara’s war still remains and Adan must remember his mission and getting close to Sara can destroy everything.

Adan’s battle has been lost, but Sara’s war still remains and Adan must remember his mission and getting close to Sara can destroy everything.
“I tried to stay away from you Sara, I did,
but that nearly killed me and I won't do it again. I can't." -
Adan.
Reading
has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing.
Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. Flutter will be my debut
release, and I couldn’t be more excited about it! The only thing I do better
than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter’s will always be my
greatest accomplishment.
Andres Delgado
6 feet
tall, dark and very dedicated to his responsibility and those responsibility just
got a lot hard now that Sara knows something just isn’t right with her life. Suspicious
and angry over everything Andres says, he must learn to live with Sara’s cold
shoulder.
As Sara’s
Watcher, Andres wants nothing more than to keep her safe and young at least
until her birthday.
He knows that is coming fast he will have to tell Sara the
truth about everything: Who she is, what she will have to do and more
importantly – what she is.
OMG...I love them already!! And now for one more bio:
Melissa Andrea
I find it hard to sum up my
life in a paragraph, but I’ll try.
I
was born in Denver , Colorado
–but I will always think of sunny Arizona
as my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother
& my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a
more amazing person to be raised by.
4
things you should know about me: I’m very girly, but I can get down and dirty
with the best of them. I adore the color pink, I love things that sparkle
(including vampires) and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5).
I'd like to thank Melissa for including me in her first blog tour and wish her much success on this amazing journey!
