NEW BOOK – Ren: The Man Behind the Monster

Anyone who has read any of my books has met Ren. He’s a middle-aged snarky Brit. He can be found in the pages of my stories harassing characters while also bestowing life-saving information on them. That’s kind of his thing. He’s a genius and he knows it, and modesty completely doesn’t suit him. In the Lucidites and Reverians series Ren had minor roles, but now it’s time he fills up the pages of his own book with snide remarks. It’s time to learn just what makes this guy so damn angry.

I have never been so excited to release a book as I am for Ren: The Man Behind the Monster. It is currently on preorder and will be released on November 21, 2015. Preorder here.

This is the first New Adult Urban Fantasy I’ve written. I do have a caution, since many of my readers are a bit young. This book does have strong language, some violence and sexual content.

Synopsis below:

Born with the power to control minds, hypnotize others, and read thoughts, Ren Lewis, is certain of one thing: God made a mistake. No one should be born with so much power. A monster awoke in him the same year he received his gifts. At ten years old. A prepubescent boy with the ability to control others might merely abuse his powers, but Ren allowed it to corrupt him. And since he can have and do anything he wants, Ren should be happy. However, his journey teaches him that harboring so much power doesn’t bring happiness, it steals it. Once this realization sets in, Ren makes up his mind to do the one thing that can bring his tortured soul some peace. He must kill the monster.

Big Month for DEFECTS – Publishers Weekly and Glamour UK

When I was a kid I used to sit in a tree and write poetry and plays. The poetry was about things that didn’t make sense, and the plays were about British people, who did make sense. Inspiration is a funny thing. I didn’t want to grow up to be a writer. That girl who wrote in the old oak tree knew that people didn’t become writers. People become teachers, firefighters and doctors. A writer, well that wasn’t a position one could choose. It’s just something people are magically elected for. And still I wrote. No matter what I wrote.

I speak about that girl from east Texas a lot. The one I used to be. Because I know she’d have a hard time believing that somewhere in the cosmos she was elected to be a writer and one day a published author. I have insider knowledge that she really doubted whether she’d ever do much. I’m pretty certain she never realized that one day her books would be featured in Publishers Weekly or Glamour UK. That young girl would be certain that fell under “things that didn’t make sense.” But that girl also spent a lot of time watching BBC, and that’s probably why I became something that did make sense: an author. Inspiration is a funny thing.

Yes, I’m a small town girl who still has a hard time believing that the books I’ve written are world wide…and that people read them.

I have to say that the narrator, Elizabeth Klett, doesn’t just bring this story to life, she gives it gritty emotion. Order the book here.

Audiobook of Stunned is Now Available

Just over a year ago, I had three separate Word documents sitting on my computer. They were just large files at that time. I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I’d hired an editor, hoping she’d provide some insight. Maybe she’d tell me they were rubbish and I should go back to my day job. That’s kind of what I figured she’d tell me. Instead, she sent me back a polished version of the first file and then asked for the next one in the line up.

“Wait? What?!” I thought. “You actually think this is worth your time?”

She did and that meant I had a lot more work to do. I hired a cover designer. I learned as much as I could about this process connected to taking large Word files and making them into something people would want. And just under one year ago I published my first three books, The Lucidites Series. I took a lot of chances. One was publishing all three at once, but I love binge reading and know I’m not the only one.

I really didn’t know what to expect when I took a large document and slapped a cover on it and pressed “Publish”. I can tell you I never expected the wild ride that I’ve been on this year. People actually bought those books. They sent me notes and told me they wanted to read more of my books. And so, I haven’t stopped. I have many more files on my computer waiting for my editor to make them look pretty.

I can also say that I never, NEVER, expected that those once sloppy files would be read by a talented voice actress and available as audiobooks. Less than a year ago I was scared to death that I was going to publish a bunch of books that went nowhere. I really didn’t consider the idea that they would go everywhere, in multiple forms. And I’m super grateful that they have. Thanks everyone. This has been a fantastic ride and it’s not done yet.

It’s my pleasure to formally announce that Stunned, book 2 in The Lucidites Series, is available on audiobook. Get it here!
