I'm eagerly awaiting book 3!!! Have you chosen a name yet?

Dying for book three ( tapping arm to check for a good vein) ;). Please tell me we will finally find out what's in that dang diary and what happened to the pendant!!!!!

Yes, N.A.M.E. We need to know a name! And the questions I have can't be answered in public, darn it.

As for critiques, I handle them great as soon as I get through saying something like "But that HAS to be there because (insert reason here) don't you GET it?! Did you even READ it? You did? Oh. Never mind."
Then I sulk.
Then I change it.
Usually.
Muahahaha.

I have about three titles that I'm having a terrible time choosing from. I think I'm going to do the big reveal along with the cover next week! I'm excited!

Jenn - As soon as I get book 3 back from my editor I'll make corrections and put it out. As for the diary and the pendant, both make a reprisal in book 3!! =)

Tyra - it sounds like we handle critiques the same way!

And the title and cover reveal is coming up very soon. =)

Good Luck on your edits, and know that your fans support you :) I for one can't wait to buy this book, you really left us hanging in the end of Tremble!!

Thanx Shelly! I'm working hard on the cover today to help speed things along.

Do u do your own covers? Is it rude to ask how much it usually costs for a freelance agent?

Your third book going to the editing stage...wow! You are for sure a super woman, and I admire what you have done in such a short time. You go girl! I wish you all the success in the world. Oh yeah...editing. When I put my work through the editing process all constructive feedback is welcome, and I take none of it personally. All I desire is to make the story the best it can be. Editing for me is both grueling and rewarding.

Hi Jenn- I bought shared rights to the pictures I use. I have thought about going back and buying exclusive rights, but I think that would be expensive. I photo shop the pictures so that they're unique.

A freelance editor can cost anywhere from $200-$2000. and I've even heard of people paying more than that. My editor charges me on the lower end but she's worked out a deal with me. She's not looking for anymore work right now, but here's the website of a woman I hear is pretty good. http://writingcareercoach.com/

Linda - I agree that editing can be both grueling and rewarding! It's when I get down to that the final phase of last round edits that I try to polish so hard I can see my reflection. I'm not sure I achieve it, but I do try. ;)

Good lord, I had no idea on how much money it would cost!!! It's amazing how you still keep your book prices so low. I guess if I'm gonna do this, I'm going to have to shell out a lot of money first. It's terrifying to think that people may not enjoy my work though... On that note, just let me say that I admire the work you do and putting yourself out there. I really enjoy your series and I thank you for the low prices ;)

Sorry if I made you sound like walmart with the low prices bit... Lol

Jenn wrote: "Sorry if I made you sound like walmart with the low prices bit... Lol"

lol! I'm a big believer in low prices. No offense taken. ;)

Oh, I am so thrilled to hear that I will not have to wait THAT much longer for news about book 3! I devoured both Ethereal and Tremble in a very short amount of time and wanted more more more..... I really loved how you wrote teenagers that were realistic, well as realistic as paranormal teenagers can be;)
Seriously, you captured how I remembered my teenaged years to be, in a sea of YA books that somehow try, and miss, it was really refreshing.

I eagerly await all things concerning Book 3! Yay!

Taddy - I am SO humbled by your wonderful comments, I cannot even tell you! Thank you!!

Each of my characters as so very real to me, I really do feel like I know them inside out. As far as writing like a teen, I just write it like I remember it. I realize that not everyone may have had the same teen experience, but I tend to write within my comfort zone.

Thank you for reading my books. I hope you'll like book 3 as well. =)

Well hey we must have had mush the same teenage years then, ha ha!
I know you just finished this series, but do you plan on another soon?
You've got a friend & fan for life in me I tell ya!

Taddy - actually book 3 is not the end, it is not even remotely near the end. I hope to have over six books, but watch, I say that and the characters will try to wrap things up quickly. ;) (I won't let them).

And yes, I'm writing another series right now. Hopefully that one will be up late in the summer and I'll announce details soon here my blog. I am super excited about this one!

Thanx for reading my books. I'm soooo glad you're enjoying them!

Oohh. I think I did read that there would be around 6 books in the celestra series which would make me 6 times as happy.So yes, don't you let those characters resolve, Addison, tell them they WANT more out of their lives, they aren't ready for the end...haha.
I also can't wait to hear about this other series. Can you give us a hint? It will be brilliant I'm proof positive of that!

Whatever you need me to do to promote your books, let me know ok? I joined a lot of YA groups on here and plan to start posting to them, well really singing your praises ;)

With such an over run genre you managed to find yourself a very unique niche and what a smart little writer you are.

On a funny note, my 7yr old daughter saw your picture here and said, she is pretty mommy she looks like you , is that your cousin, so and so. Funny hey? I'll try and get my photo up on my profile soon, I think we are close in age.
