<b>TOXIC Synopsis:</b><br />
Everyone has a secret...
Gabe Hyde is on borrowed time. He's been hiding his identity for over four years-hidden from the world that used to adore him--obsess over him--driven to the edge of insanity by one poor choice.
But that one choice, altered the course of his life forever.
Pretending isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when pretending means hiding your real self from the people that care about you the most. But if anyone ever discovered the truth it wouldn't just be his life at risk--but hers.
Saylor doesn't hate men.
Just Gabe.
Only Gabe.
He's a reckless, happy-go-lucky, silver spoon fed pain in her ass. Everything about him makes her more and more confused. Unfortunately they both donate time at the same Group Home. If she wasn't afraid of flunking, she'd be long gone. She hates that she's attracted to him almost as much as he hates that he's attracted to her--and she can tell, especially since their first encounter ended up making her knees so weak she couldn't form coherent sentences for weeks afterwards. But the closer she gets to him, the more confused she becomes. He isn't who he says he is, and he's hiding something big.
What happen when two worlds collide? Two worlds that never should have met in the first place? Some secrets are too big to be hidden forever--the only question? Will his destroy everyone he loves? Or finally bring about the redemption he's been craving for the past four years?
Everyone has a secret...What's yours?

<span style="color: #cc0000;">My Review</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>I loved, loved, absolutely loved the book. Gabe, makes the top of my list of book boyfriends. He's funny - crazy funny - a good friend, a dedicated boyfriend and a tatted artist with too many feelings. Which, in my my book, makes him PERFECT. And his interaction with Saylor, their slowly building romance - de-li-cious!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>The book has a lot of humor, a lot of feeling, a touch of action and left me waiting for the next book in the series. I've laughed, I've cried, I sighed and I promised myself to watch the
sky for fallong stars to wish for a Gabe without the sad past.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>I recommend it to everybody who loves a good love story with heartbreak, pain, loss, gain, memories and touching moments. It should come with a warning, though: Don't start reading without handkerchief close by and some chocolate, too, preferably. </b></span></div>

<b>EXCERPT:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">With slight
pressure, Gabe moved my hands to the piano, slowly, effortlessly placing them
on each key.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He was
playing <i>through</i> me, using my body as an instrument to convey
the story of his life. Each time he pressed down on one of my fingertips or
guided me to another area of the piano, I felt the sadness of the song clench
deeper. The notes became floating tendrils of pain, each one of them slowly
invading my body and taking hold until it hurt to breathe.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He moved faster and
faster, my hands couldn’t keep up. I pulled back as he continued the song, in
such a rush it was like he was yelling but doing it with music. Unable to
convey it in any other way.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">With a final burst
of movement, he lifted his hands off the piano and smashed them against the
keys, causing a chaos of notes to burst forth.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Gabe’s breathing
was uneven, ragged as he leaned heavily against me, his chin resting on my
head, and he whispered brokenly, “I can’t.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“You were doing so
good.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“It’s like getting
into a car with suicidal tendencies. You keep going faster and faster, needing
the adrenaline to keep you alive until suddenly you turn the wheel and
everything goes black. The notes, they go higher and higher, and right when I
feel like I can change the outcome — I panic. Some things…” He sighed and
pulled away. “Some things are better left in chaos.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Are you sure about
that? Are you sure about perfection?” I folded my hands in my lap, but didn’t
turn around.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Sure.” He moved
from behind me and sat on the bench. “If life was perfect, how in the hell
would we ever learn to depend on someone other than ourselves? If anything,
that’s what life’s taught me. The need to be perfect is stemmed in the very
belief that it’s actually something we can achieve. Self-actualization —
doesn’t exist.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I licked my lips
and looked down at the keys. “Does that mean we don’t try then?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“No.” Gabe tickled
a few of the ivory keys in front of him, the music note tattoos on his
fingertips looking darker against the white of the piano. “It just means when
you reach the end of your rope, you shouldn’t regret a damn thing, but applaud
yourself for trying to do the impossible.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I felt like he was
using double meanings. The philosophical Gabe was a bit terrifying because he
made me feel more insecure than the jackass Gabe. But the guy sitting next to
me right now? I was beginning to understand, he wasn’t just one person. He was
every person, everything, whatever he needed to be, he was.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Like a chameleon.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">And suddenly the
ending to the story made sense.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Ten different notes
all clamoring at once.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Chaos.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Gabe was Chaos.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“So.” He sniffed
and cleared his throat. “Now that I’ve totally ruined the moment by talking in
my serious voice and scaring the shit out of you — why don’t we work on one of
your performance pieces?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Okay.” I placed my
hands on the piano again, careful to angle my wrists at the perfect degree and
keep my eyes on the music ahead. Sometimes I wondered if my posture was better
than my playing.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“What the hell are
you doing?” he asked in calm voice.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I turned
and gave him a firm nod</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="1447194f2a8305cb_1446b7582b552717__msoanchor_1"></a><a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#1446b7582b552717__msocom_1" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">[L1]</span></a><span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">. “I’m getting
ready.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“To go to battle?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“What?” I relaxed
my hands a bit. “No.” I straightened. “This is the right posture, it’s—”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“If you say
perfect, I’m going to kill myself.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Someone should
have majored in drama.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He burst out
laughing. “Oh, honey, you have no idea.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“So?” I lifted my
wrists again and looked ahead.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Fine.” He smirked.
“Play just like that.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Okay.” I started
one of my harder pieces, Piano Sonata 14. It felt exactly the same. The
movement wasn’t as fast as some of the others, but the timing for it had to be
perfect.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Close your eyes,”
Gabe instructed.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“But—”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He swatted my
wrists. “No arguing with your piano master.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Fine.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Say ‘yes,
master’.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I smiled tightly,
my eyes focusing on the music in front of me. I started slowly playing. “Not in
this lifetime.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Bet I could make
you say it.” His voice had an arrogant lift to it, which made me all the more
irritated. Master? Um, no.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Eyes.” He growled
again.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">With a resigned
sigh, I closed my eyes. “Better?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Immensely,” he
said smoothly.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Darkness enveloped
my world. All I had were the notes at my fingertips. All I had was the music —
that and Gabe.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He wasn’t saying
anything.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Which killed me.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">It also made me
want to open my eyes, but I knew he’d probably just tell me to close them
again, so I kept playing.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">And then, with a
teasing touch, his fingers grazed my chin, slowly tilting it down toward the
piano while his other hand went to my upper back then slowly moved down until
it was in the middle, with a gentle push, he urged my body closer to the keys.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Eyes closed,
posture completely off, I leaned over the piano. Everything felt wrong as I
continued playing.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Slower,” he said
softly.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">With a sigh, I
started playing slower. His hands moved to my hips. And stayed there. Other
than jumping a foot, I was still able to concentrate.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“The music,” he
whispered, “It’s not just your story — it’s your lover.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Okay,” I squeaked.
Heat washed over me as the word <i>lover</i> bounced around in my
brain. I knew it, but I’d never experienced it. How was I supposed to use
something I didn’t know how to use? And how embarrassing was it that I was
stuck in that tiny room having never been… stuck in a tiny room with any guy?
Lover. I’d take him. If I got a choice. It would be him. But people like Gabe,
beautiful people who had music in their soul, who knew how to speak without
words… they weren’t for girls like me.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Each stroke…” His
hands pressed against my hips making me gasp. “You need to feel it not just on
your fingertips — but everywhere.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Holy. Crap.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Feel it here,” he
squeezed and then ran his hands lightly up my sides, then resting right
underneath my breasts, he pressed again. “And here.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">My breathing picked
up speed, as did my music.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Slow down,” he
commanded in that same irritating patient tone. “Where is this story taking me?
Where are you taking your lover?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Huh?” I breathed.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Use your hands to
tell me the story — use your body to propel the story forward, what happens
next… Tell the story, Saylor. Make me feel it without even touching you.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“But — that’s
impossible.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“You can feel a
kiss without touching someone’s lips.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“I’m confused.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Concentrate.”
Gabe’s voice was firm. “I want to kiss you.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“What?” He was
lucky I didn’t actually collapse against the piano this time.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“In the story.” He
chuckled. “I want to kiss you in this story, so kiss me.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“You want me to get
up and kiss you?” Mind you, I was still trying to play a difficult piece as he
was asking me this, which basically meant I must have had talent, because my
body was on fire.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Without our mouths
meeting.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Through the
music.” I clarified in a doubtful voice.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I could hear the
smile in his tone as he answered. “Yes, through the music, show me what the
kiss would feel like. I want to taste it.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“But how?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He laughed softly.
“I’m touching them.”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“What?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“My lips,” he
countered. “They’re soft, open, wet…”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I squirmed on the
piano bench, squeezing my eyes shut. “What else?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“As I part my lips…
I wonder what your tongue tastes like, what type of pressure you’d use as you
pressed your velvety smooth mouth against mine. I imagine exploring your mouth
not just because I want to — but because I can’t help it. I’m lost. And your
kiss is my salvation… so, Saylor, will you save me?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">My fingers glided
effortlessly over the piano as I imagined his mouth — the way he smiled, the
way he took his lower lip hostage when he was deep in thought. The dark look he
got in his eyes when there was something he wanted. Our kiss would be epic.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">The music picked up
speed as I leaned over the piano, pounding each note with the rhythm of my
footsteps as I approached him.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">His hands would
reach for my hips as he pulled me closer. My hands hovered over the keys making
my hesitation known.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">And then I pressed
softly against the ivory, leaning forward as if I was leaning into Gabe with my
body pressed against his. My breasts brushed the keys. I moved closer to the
piano and then slowed the music.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">His eyes would
close.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">His lips would
part.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">And we’d meet in
the middle — because both of us wanted the same thing. Both of us wanted to
taste, to explore, to feel.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I slowed my left
hand as my right hand moved quicker across the keys, to show the anticipation.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">And then, our
mouths would touch.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I pounded the keys
with my left hand, making it the loudest part of the piece which wasn’t
normally how it was done.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Our tongues would
tangle.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I pounded the piano
harder.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">His fingers would
dig into my arms as he lifted me into the air.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">I pulled back from
the piano, stopping the music, and then gently started the rhythmic cadence
again.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Our kiss was the
perfect joining of music.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He was the left
hand, I was the right.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Separate they
sounded like silly scales.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Together — they
were beautiful.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">When I stopped the
piece, I was sweating.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“Open your eyes,”
Gabe whispered.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">He was breathing so
heavily it looked like he’d just run a marathon. With a smile he tucked my
fallen hair behind my ear and tilted my chin toward him.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">“That…” He leaned
in. “…is how you perform. Like every kiss is both your first and last — like
you’re saying both hello and goodbye — like you’ve just been born… like you’ve
just died.”</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>

<br />
New year, renewed hope, fresh plans and more ideas than ever. This is the short version for my plans for this year. While during the end of 2013 I've concentrated more on reading, I've started the year writing.<br />
I'm happy to have published some haiku last year and though the sales weren't fabulous, the idea of someone buying them and reading them was a great motivation. the proof that I should keep writing.<br />
<br />
And that's exactly what I'm planning to do.<br />
Have a great year, everybody, and keep writing!<br />
<br />
Later Update: Just went checking my Amazon after writing this post and my heart burst with happiness. It's not much in sales, but it sure looks good in the category:<br />

It's November 1st and this is the first day in #NaNoWriMo. I'm very excited about it and though the day is not over yet, I have just achieved the 1667 words goal for today. I'm not stopping, though. Just taking a break to blog about it, to share my excitement.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Secrets and Lies</b></i> (not very original, I know - just work title) is a romantic YA fantasy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keira is a fairy hiding in the human world who stumbles upon more complications - very much unwelcomed ones, since she already has her fair share of problems - when meeting Devon, a stubborn vampire who takes great interest in her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They can't stay away from each other and they can't trust each other either, which only puts them in an impasse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And since I'm very excited about it (let's hope this won't change), here are two snippets from one of their first real conversations.</div>

Yup! I'm doing <b>NaNo</b> this year. I've decided just yesterday, signed up and dugged through my documents for an old outline for support. (Is having a 7-8 K words outline cheating? I hope not)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In February I signed up for NaHaiWriMo to learn discipline by writing a themed haiku daily. Done, and continued that process for two more months. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This summer I've written 3 outlines (complete outlines - worlds, characters, timeline) which was a big step for me. Now it's time to extend one of them to a book.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've already practiced my writing during September, finishing two novella lenght 1st drafts that may not ever see shelves (real or virtual). Well, in the present state, they're not awful, but there's much work to be done. Maybe in December I'll start editing one of them, we'll see.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, in November I'll try to write a full lenght novel. Quite a challenge. But, after the progress this year, I'm confident I'll finish the challenge with a 1st draft novel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My story, Secrets And Lies (work title), is a YA fantasy about a young faerie on the run from her kind, caught in too much intrigue, hidden in the human world. She can't stay out of trouble, or hidden for that matter, which leads her to a world of lies, secrets and scheems, which she hates. And her help comes in unexpected ways, confusing her even more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But she's not going to give up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And neither am I. Wish us good luck. </div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> <span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>My review</b></span></span></span></i></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The Fearie War is the stunning and much awaited end of The Creepy Hollow series. I've been waiting for this book - breathless - ever since reading the last (shocking, surprising and original) page of the second book in the series, The Faerie Prince.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The book starts with Vi in a new setting, in an unusual frame of mind, troubled. Through this final book, V must learn who she is and rediscover herself as person after memory loss to help save her world. And she does. She grows. She has some (very) trying moments, but she fights to overcome them. She adapts. She evolves. She transforms.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And she's not the only one growing. Ryn, the love interest turns even more swoon-worthy - if you thought that impossible, you were wrong. The love story is amazing; a new perspective and a very trying and emotional road for both Ryn and V.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(Boy, did Rachel make her characters suffer to prove their love!</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">)</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The worldbuilding is amazing! The insight in the underground of the Creepy Hollow ads to the conflict and makes the final book of the series different from the first two books. We meet some new characters, we see the guardians after graduations, in unexpected circumstances.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Rachel surprises with each page. The Creepy Hollow series is one of the most original steries out there. Romance, action, humor and surprise after surprise will keep you guessing at the end. Yes, it's a happy ending, but a surprising one. </span></i></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking forward to reading Rachel's next book and see what other amazing story she makes us sigh over.</span> </span></i></div>

of her childhood living in a fantasy land of her own making. After completing a
degree in genetics, she decided science wasn’t for her—after all, they didn’t
approve of made-up facts. These days she spends much of her time immersed in
fantasy land once more, writing fiction for young adults.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When she isn't writing, she's reading (duh!), catching up on
addictive TV series, and baking things that almost always include chocolate.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This month my insecurity is at the lowest level ever - in all things writing, at least. Though my 5 k/day didn't last more than 2 weeks and then I went at lower levels, I've finished 2 first drafts out of 3 and the last one is nearly ready. Yay! That's a lot of writing for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've accomplished my goal for September - finish a 1st draft. This month I'll finish the first draft of my third project and be lost in rewriting, edits and revision. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I still have to consider some things related to publishing while I'm also moving into a city where I can't ever sleep well at night. Yup, that's going to be funny!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So wish me luck and a good night's sleep at least once in a while.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><i><b>The hardest scene to write</b></i> was the final scene with Byron and Bassa

haven’t, but I really hated writing that scene.</span></div>

Title: Sacrifice HER by Sheena-kay Graham<br />
Goodreads: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15761024-sacrifice-her" target="_blank">Sacrifice HER</a><br />
Release Date: December 2013<br />
<br />
Summary: When a city is at stake is the life of one sixteen-year old girl worth risking thousands? Deidra Moore goes on the run after escaping from a group of human sacrifices for Bane: God of War. She doesn't believe he exists and sees uncertainty in the scorching desert as a better alternative. But Faux City isn't finished with her and their leader Lord Brinn is ordered by Bane - through one of his maiden worshipers- to bring her back or face dire consequences. In the desert Deidra meets a wanderer named Kane and as feelings spark can they find a safe place to lead a new life before Lord Brinn and his soldiers catch up with them? Yet the question remains. Does Bane really exist and if he does what will happen if either side succeeds or fails? Told in alternating perspectives of both the runaway servant girl and the blonde strong willed leader.<br />

Her childhood career plans included becoming a ballerina, actress or someone who helped people. So naturally she decided to be a writer who writes from her bed. Yes, no desk for this Jamaican book lover. No matter if it’s reading, writing or using the computer....you get the gist. The love of the written word has always been with her leading to stories, novels, poetry and way too much fan fiction. This Christian woman can be found trolling Amazon online, in local book bookstores, watching movies on the big screen, or in her bed, or reading/writing/on the laptop...again in her bed. Mainly writes YA fiction and is ready to unleash her creativity to wow the masses.</span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Today it's the two year anniversary of a wonderful project, The Insecure Writer's Support Group, started by <a href="http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.ro/">Alex J. Cavanaugh</a>, a group designed for writers to support and encourage each other.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">In today's post, Alex had surprised everybody, announcing the creation of The Insecure Writer's Support Group website. Looking forward to seeing the result, Alex!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My insecurities this month concern my ability to accomplish everything on my To Do List for September, which is very long. In August I've written 3 outlines beginning to end, worlds, characters, everything that goes in the story is already established. Crazy, I know, right? I've been struggling with this, and suddely in August I've done it. Not once, not twice, but three times!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And that made me bold. So, for September I've designed a crazy writing schedule that will be amazingly difficult to follow. I've figured since I know everything in the story, I could write about 5000 words a day, every day. Yup, 5000 words. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For now, I'm faithful to my Spartan schedule, doing 5000+ words. But I can't write that much on a single story daily - outlining has removed the joy, the excitement, in discovering what happens next so, I lose interest after about 3000 words. So, I alternate between 2 stories. </span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">It seems to be working, for now and I hope by the end of the month to have the 150 K I wanted. But I fear I'll lose interest because of outlining. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I see the pros of this technique, I actually worked on a story for a week without giving up the project, but knowing what happens next makes the writing less... exciting. But if I get the work done, I'll keep up this way. I just hope outlining won't turn my writing flat. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">One of the projects still gives me the spark of excitement, so I'm confident about it, but the other one is slower, less attractive, but I'm not giving up. By the end of the month I'll have 150 K words done and raedy for re-writing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As usual, no names yet for my projects. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I hope everybody has a great, productive September. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">And since today I'm not working on my usual stuff, but to the outline that I started yesterday (3.5 K in one day - yay!) though I was planning to take a break this weekend, I'll need at least a double dose of coffee to finish what I started. I think it will go around 8-9 K. I'm exited about it - it has vampires, action and shy love and big mouths - I was smiling the entire time I was writing (I think that's a good sign). </span></span></span></b></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've figured the world, the characters, (still thinking about the setting), the timeline (one of my least favorite things) and I've also figured out why I can't finish what I start - that damn voice. All these were brewing inside my mind during the last week or so, and now I caved in and put everything on paper (yeah, paper and pen for outlining). So this new thing is an experiment till now, but works better than what I usually do, so I have high hopes (not that you couldn't tell by all this babbling). </span></span></span></b></i></span></div>

Here's what I'm celebrating this Friday:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * 8012 words this week already but I think I won't have the time to add more during the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * changing the aspect of my my blog and updating some of the social updates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * adding 5% at the already 10% ready of a sideways project that I'll start talking about soon. I'm still trying to decide if I should start a new blog for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * This week I've had the pleasant surprise to talk to and reconnect with a close friend who's been in Spain for almost 4 years now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what I'll be celebrating today. I don't think I'll be able to do much writing this weekend, but I hope I'll come back Monday with fresh ideas and enthusiasm. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've also decided that from Tuesay13th till Thursday 15th my haiku chapbook <a href="http://www.amazon.com/17-Syllables-Love-Life-ebook/dp/B00DSCEZ4O/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376032846&sr=1-4">17 Syllables: Of Love And Life</a> goes free on Amazon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a nice weekened, all!</div>

I'm really happy to have a cover for the final book and can't wait for October to discover the final adventures in the series. The second book ends with a strong, killer cliffhanger so I'm very impatient to get my hands on the last instalment in The Creepy Hollow series. </div>

What do you think about the cover? My favorite in the series.</div>

<b><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: black;">The fingers under my chin drifted up, spreading across my cheek. I held still. His gaze dropped to my mouth and then farther down, his stare so intense it felt like a caress.<br />His lips slipped into a smile that did nothing to ease the stark lust in his face. “Oh, Serena, you really have no idea of what kind of shit you’ve stepped in.”</span></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was a busy and productive week for me, so I have reasons to celebrate, entering this hop. So, today I'm celebrating:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />* * * writing from the beginning till end of 2 outlines: one of a short story (around 7-10 K) and one of anovella (around 25 K)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * starting a project I thought about for a long time and kept putting off. Now I'm already 10% done which is surprisingly fast. Let's hope it will keep progressing just as fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * my return to the social media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* * * the return of something that resembles (vaguely) with calm and normalcy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for today, I intend to go through all my social profiles and update them. Starting with the blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a fun weekend!</div>

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• <span style="color: #3366ff;">Grab your current read</span><br />
• <span style="color: #3366ff;">Open to a random page</span><br />
• <span style="color: #3366ff;">Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page</span><br />
• <span style="color: red;"><b>BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!</b> (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)</span><br />
• <span style="color: #3366ff;">Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: black;">Here's my teaser from</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="btAsinTitle"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Body-Aarons-Series-ebook/dp/B006FOSTG2/ref=pd_sim_kstore_13">"Blood, Body and Mind (Aaron's Kiss Series)"</a> a beatiful <b>adult</b> paranormal romance by Kathi S. Barton.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="btAsinTitle"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: black;">"Miss Temple, how are you feeling this fine morning?" The humor he wasn't trying to hide in voice made him sound almost human. </span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: black;">"Fine enough to wanna smack that smirk right off your face." she told him. "And alive and kicking, not thanks to you either. You lied to me, bloodsucker."</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: black;">I love the dialogue and the interaction between all the characters, but the dinamic between the two romantic interests is deliciously funny. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, to accompany this happy, happy news, I'll just post the poem they featured in April for their double issue:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Spring Emotion</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The spirits of spring returned<br />Dancing madly, singing the nature.<br />On butterfly wings was burned<br />The scent of our future.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And since my schedule starts getting closer to normal, here's a haiku written today, for a great challenge:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Carpe Diem #231 Nagoshi (half year's end festival)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
summer festival - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in her grand-children's giggles,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her eyes spark with love </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, here's one other cover that will go up on Amazon later this week.</div>

I've been working, trying to figure out the way Amazon works, but surprisingly, publishing isn't difficult at all. What made it difficult for me (and put my plans on hold for a month and a half) - the paperwork and the changes around the banking system. Got to love the way our economy works!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>17 Syllables: Of Love And Life</b> is a collection of <i>40 very subjective haiku and senryu</i>: love and life in very few words, the way I saw it and felt it at that moment. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now that I've finally sorted out the paperwork and the financial matters, I can focus on the nice part: the actual publishing. And also come back to more frequent blogging, which I've missed a lot.</div>

Last night I've written 10 great haiku becuase of lack of sleep. I always work better when tired and caffeine driven. I love my insomnia but it doesn't agree with me.<br />
<br />
Have a great Saturday!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">1. Which are your favourite
fairytale, myth and legend?<br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; mso-themecolor: accent4;">As far as Disney fairytales
go, I love <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beauty and the Beast</i>. And
as for myths and legends, I’ve always been a big fan of Greek mythology (I
really enjoyed the Percy Jackson series).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">2. You have nicely cemented
characters in the series. How much did you use folklore to create the magical
world and the faeries’ "job description" (worldbuilding<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>)?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #8064a2; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: accent4;">I actually didn’t use much traditional folklore in the worldbuilding of
the Creepy Hollow series. I wanted it to be a more modern twist on faeries, so
I made up a lot of stuff. A number of the creatures mentioned, as well as trees
and berries etc, are all my own creations, as well as the magical devices like
amber, stylus and glass comm.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">3. Why did you choose the faeries
for your first series? (A great choice, by the way!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #8064a2; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: accent4;">This might sound ridiculous, but I honestly can’t remember exactly why I
chose faeries! I wanted to write about magical characters who would guard and protect
humans. I wanted them to live in a forest. So I think the next logical step (in
my mind, anyway!), was that these magical characters would be faeries. And when
I was little I liked to believe that faeries were real. I’d make little gardens
for them, and write letters to them. So the fact that I’ve always been a faerie
fan probably also had something to do with it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">4. Name your favorite movie and
cartoon. (I would so love a movie after your series!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #8064a2; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: accent4;">Oh, I would also LOVE a movie based on my series! Favorite movie …
that’s a tough one. I just scanned through my DVD collection, and the one that
jumped out at me that I’d be happy to watch over and over again is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pirates of the Caribbean</i>. So we’ll go
with that for now! And cartoons … I’ve never really been into cartoons so I
don’t have a favorite (and if you mean animated movies, then there are just too
many favorites!).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">5. The writer in me just has to ask: why do you
write in the present tense instead of past tense?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #8064a2; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: accent4;">I feel like it
makes the action more immediate, especially since it is also written in first
person, and the reader hears a lot of Vi’s thoughts. To me, when I’m reading
present tense, it helps me to feel like I’m <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">right
there</i> as it’s happening!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">6. Could you write faster, because I'm dying to
know what happens next? ;) When should we expect the next book?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #8064a2; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: accent4;">Haha! I’d love
it if I could write faster ;-) I can’t make any guarantees, but I do plan for
the third book to be out before the end of this year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #8064a2; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent4;">I
have some contemporary romance stories planned :-)</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">The Faerie Gardian - Book Review</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Warning!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do not start reading this book in the evening except if you really want to see the sunset! Because you will!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll start by saying I've enjoyed the book (clearly, since I decided in favor of a sleepless night just to read one more chapter, till there was no other chapter to read).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second book in the series, "The Faerie Prince" starts a few weeks after Nate's betrayal and after Vi and Ryn successfully retrieve Calla from Zell. The 5th year guardians Vi and Ryn are in odd friendship territhory - after years of hate and vengeful actions against each other - awaiting for their final most important assignment before graduation, just like the other trainees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their road is filled with turns and twists on their final assignment and after graduation they find themselves uncovering secrets of their world, learning more about their past and their parents' past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love the progress and the dinamics of the relationship between Vi and Ryn in this book. They move from former enemies towards awkward friends and assignment partners and eventually to shy teens in love. And the lines that Vi and Ryn exchange... great, fun, entertaining dialogue! I must say I love Ryn more than I love Vi - he has the makings of a bad boy hiding the fact that he's really a good guy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And he's dark-haired! --> --> --></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Oa5KQT9JQMo/UaXz3MvDZ_I/AAAAAAAAAlU/TlT1ekBqYY4/s1600/Ryn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Oa5KQT9JQMo/UaXz3MvDZ_I/AAAAAAAAAlU/TlT1ekBqYY4/s200/Ryn.jpg" width="129" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I find the action in the second book well cemented, more thrilling and faster paced. The characters' development is clear and one can relate to their decisions, feelings and actions. Both V and Ryn make believable teens who must deal with their work in responsible manners. I also love the magic system in the series and its rules.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story focuses around the interaction between V and Ryn and I can promise the finale is more than surprising - if not a little shoking - and a very strong cliffhanger for the next book that I'm really really eager to read right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all a great book! I really enjoyed reading this beautiful book filled with emotion, teen love and action.</div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Rachel Morgan was born in South Africa and
spent a large portion of her childhood living in a fantasy land of her own

her—after all, they didn’t approve of made-up facts. These days she spends much
of her time immersed in fantasy land once more, writing fiction for young
adults.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, DL Hammons at <a href="http://dlcruisingaltitude.blogspot.ro/2013/05/the-wip-it-good-blogfest.html">Criusing Altitude</a> and <a href="http://elisefallson.blogspot.ro/">Elise Fallson</a> came up with another great idea for a blogfest that allows writers to share their ideas with others, find CPs and Betas for their work and most importantly, share their ideas with others. I admit, 4 months of daily writing and sharing at least 2 haiku on the net has made easier for me talking about poerty writing, but prose ideas are still... difficult to let out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;">
Here are the prompts and my answers: </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><br />
<b>WIP Title:</b> <span style="color: black;">Still under consideration - titles make me nervous, so this one is still under consideration</span><br /><b>Word Count (projected/actual so far):</b> <span style="color: black;">18.214 <span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">written</span> from</span> 30-35 K projected</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>Genre:</b> <span style="color: black;">Paranormal Romance with a little adventure in a N/A world</span><br />
<b>How long have you been working on it?:</b> <span style="color: black;">about 2 months</span><br /> </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Elevator Pitch (if you came across an agent in an elevator ride, what couple of lines would you use to summarize your book):</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">When he decided to go
against the rules and break a centuries old blood oath, he had thought
of many things going wrong, but being forced to protect the one he's trying
to get away from was never on his list. Going from a long term goal to own his fate to the complicate, annoying task of trying to keep her alive and out of danger turns both their lives upside down. </span></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Brief Synopsis (250 words or less): </b><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">An old, crazy, stupid oath... crazy stupid decisions... What kind of results can you expect? <i>(I'm not saying more, yet. Though the romantic interest has her own plans that have nothing to do with what he wants.)</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
