Here are just a few pictures from the Barnes & Noble signing I recently attended. It was only my second signing, but it went better than expected. I met some really cool authors, and got to chat with some indie friends, met cool fans (some who even traveled on a 2 hour bus ride), and I got to meet one of the most published romance cover models, Jimmy Thomas. He's not just a handsome face either! He's the CEO & Founder of the Romance Novel Convention! Very impressive!</div>

her birthday, but after a night on the town with her best friend she
awakes to a visitor she never expected. The rulers of her region, a
vampire royal family, have chosen her to be turned as their new heir and
vampire princess. In a world fueled by the power of blood, Claire

I'm really starting to believe that Murphy's Law is scarily correct. Or maybe my luck is just that bad? It is quite possible. I live in a city where luck is a thing not easily attained, or rapidly lost. "The City of Sin", or "The City of Lost Wages". But, I digress, none of that has anything to do with today's post.<br />
<br />
I've been stressed out, so I wanted to share a photo from a recent hike that helped me relax a little and hopefully gets me back into writing euphoria.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pretty, ain't it? I always feel most at ease, and stress free when I'm hiking. No noise of the city, or in my head; just one foot in front of the other and no obstacles except the path before me.<br />
<br />
Lately I've been pushing forward on my newest novel, The Long Road Home. I'm about 3/4 of the way done and I'd like to think it's going to be a great book. This will be my first leap into Contemporary Romance. Some of my favorite indie's have done amazingly well in this genre (Tiffany King), but I'm still hesitant stepping away from my typical horrors or paranormal romances. There's only ONE way to find out if Contemporary Romance is for me, and I'm going to have to gather my courage and release the book when it's ready. Hopefully my readers will enjoy it and that's all that really matters to me.<br />
<br />
I'm still working on Revenge(Warm Delicacy Series, Book 4), AND Vengeance (Agents of Evil Series, Book 3). They are both coming along well and I hope to have them both published before the end of the year. I've been trying to continually update my word counts on here so my readers can see the progress, but I've been slacking lately so I will try and get back on that. I'm one of those readers who likes to see where my favorite author currently is in writing their newest book, so I'm going to try to be better at posting updates etc.<br />
<br />
Anywhos, I think I've vented enough for today. :o) Thanks for listening. ♥<br />

I hated doing it, but I knew it had to be done.<br />
<br />
I'm one of those people who likes to have plant life around them. Greenery is much needed when you live in the desert. Aside from the several plants within my home I like to have a lush looking backyard, but the past summer heat and harsh winter killed nearly everything I had outside. :o(<br />
<br />
All that I ended up being left with was one rose bush and my pomegranate <strike>tree</strike> bush, it's not quite a tree yet, but getting there.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhez17yFjYgw8KGP5kiUUhALQvdJiIPkO-_QY_kObMwfpGEmWhvhtdXcPXt7Op5KJ5FRPZ-7xzNfZmdIfZPmSsU2xh0de1IE37ftGUvFyQjpjD6ouVdTPhVCXbcz73dEdnPrK32xuuanlFQ/s1600/rose+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhez17yFjYgw8KGP5kiUUhALQvdJiIPkO-_QY_kObMwfpGEmWhvhtdXcPXt7Op5KJ5FRPZ-7xzNfZmdIfZPmSsU2xh0de1IE37ftGUvFyQjpjD6ouVdTPhVCXbcz73dEdnPrK32xuuanlFQ/s320/rose+2.jpg" width="240" /></a>Anyway, fast forward to yesterday and I now have a full (well..full according to my husband. If I had my way my backyard would look a jungle) planter. I now have 6 rose bushes, 1 strawberry plant, 1 poblano pepper plant, and 1 large pomegranate bush! I think by next year I will be able to eat a pomegranate from my own tree! Plus! I have plotted out a spot to plant a lemon tree! Who doesn't like fresh lemonade on a hot summer day?? It gets hot enough here in the summer (100+) that I'm going to want lemonade every day!<br />
<br />
What I'm most excited about my garden, besides the many butterflies that have come to visit is the 2 amazing roses that were last additions to the garden planter. Their colors are absolutely amazing and they smell like heaven.<br />
<br />

<br />
Seriously, have you seen anything so awesome!? A stripped rose?! It's blowing my mind! LOL<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Moving forward to the writing part of my post, I'm working on two projects at once at the moment, which may prove to be too much but for now I'm going to keep plugging along. The third book in my Dystopian series is coming along and I hope to have it out by this summer. I'm excited to see what's in store for Abby and the gang. Undoubtedly there will be lots of scary baddies, and maybe a splash of romance, but mostly overall scariness. LOL<br />
<br />
My other project is still sort of a secret, and honestly I haven't yet decided if it's going to be under a pen name or not yet. It's a new novel in a completely new genre. Heck, I'm not sure if I'll even publish it 'cause I haven't an inkling if I'm any good at writing in that genre but I'm trying anyways. Wish me luck!<br />

Claire descended deep into the ancient tomb; laying to rest the bodies
of the fallen, she wondered if time healed all wounds, would an eternity
be long enough? Still recovering from a brutal attack that nearly
killed her, she refused to let evil win. Pain and destruction glared at
her everywhere she went. Nothing and no one would ever be safe until
Baal was not only defeated, but destroyed. Fueled by her thirst for
revenge, she traveled with her father to the ‘old world’, seeking the
aide of a long forgotten ally. Will their quest for help lead to their
salvation, or is it only the first step in their annihilation?</span></span></span></span></div>

I can remember how it felt when the idea first came to me, how excited I was to meet the new cast of characters in my life. Over the many months and previous books I feel that they've all grown so much, and each has found a permanent residence in my heart.
<br />
Though I don't have a concrete release date yet, I am shooting for a release later this month or no later than the first of March. Right now Devour is with my BETA team and I'm crossing my fingers till <br />
I hear back from them. Hopefully they aren't telling me how terrible the book is, but if it is terrible I suppose they HAVE to tell me. I truly want Devour to be the very best it can be. </div>

If you haven't read the series yet you can start by reading Savor, which is currently FREE at Smashwords right now. I'm hoping I can get free at Amazon and B&N soon. <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/92986" target="_blank">https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/92986 </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other news is that I will be revealing the synopsis for Devour very soon, with a small giveaway. That's all I have for now. I hope you're all excited about this new release, and I'm crossing my fingers and my toes that you'll enjoy the story. I truly put my heart and soul into it.</div>

<h2>
Let's get this party started! Today, Falling From Eternity, is officially released!</h2>
<br />
There are some really fabulous stops along this tour, and you can also drop by here every day for a chance to win some pretty awesome prizes. I'm giving away the most I ever had for this release, and I wish everyone good luck.<br />
<br />
FFE was probably one of the most difficult books I've ever written. It was my first venture in the world of "love stories" with just a dash of paranormal. Though I am still uber nervous about this release, I am so excited about this story and the things I learned along the way. I am already preparing a sequel, and am going to take a chance at a contemporary romance somewhere down the road.<br />
<br />
II'd like to take a moment and thank all those who helped make this book possible.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To my incredible readers whose enthusiasm inspires me every day. My wonderful friend, and cover artist, Najla; thank you for being such an amazing person. Also, to two special people from my beta team, Laura & Ash, thank you for your help! My fabulous editor, Janet, I couldn't have finished this book without you. Tiffany King, thanks for being such a bright ray of sunshine and a delight to talk to. You inspire me. A special thank you to the group of fantastic bloggers who were willing to spend December reading, and touring for me. I ♥ you all! Last, but not least, to my loving husband and family. Your love and support makes all things possible.</i></div>

I'm thrilled to say that it's finally time to prepare for the Falling From Eternity release. I have set a release date for Dec. 1, 2012 and now I get to start the exciting process of looking for bloggers/reviewers.<br />
<br />
Falling From Eternity is a Paranormal Love Story.<br />
<br />
<u><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span></u> For William, life was as wicked and malicious as the beast he was trying
destroy. Decades spent living a life of extravagance, domination and
ravenous hunger haunted him. But when you live forever, the past never
stays buried. And that which wishes to control you, will never let you
go. William thought he found his escape, his one and only love, but the
thing he fears the most could be the only thing that saves them. Or, it
could doom them all.<br />
<br />
I will be hosting a giveaway on my blog during the month of December, and if any bloggers would like to host one on their blog as well I'm game. <br />
<br />
I currently have the following dates available for the tour. Anyone would like to sign up for a specific date please shoot me an email megan_duncan @ live dot com. If you'd like to review FFE on your blog, but don't want to be part of the tour that's fine, just shoot me an email and we can work on a date.<br />

FFE is back from my editor and heading over to my beta team very, very soon. I should have a release date after Thanksgiving if not sooner. :o) Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458551111799200746.post-39530360758458755782012-11-11T13:34:00.000-08:002012-11-11T13:34:26.890-08:00Reviewing & Zombie TalkHello, hello! It's Sunday, my favorite day of the week!<br />
<br />
First I'd like to jump totally off topic and begin my post with something that has nothing to do with reviewing. Tonight is Walking Dead! I won't post any spoilers for those of you who didn't see last weeks episode, and for those <strike>crazy people </strike>who don't watch. But after last weeks' EPIC, MIND BLOWING, TEAR JERKING episode, I am chomping on the bit to know what happens next.<br />

P.S. AMC give me more Michonne!<br />
<br />
Okay, now that I've gotten my Walking Dead rant over with I'd like to let everyone know that I am starting another blog strictly for reviews. I've gotten a lot of requests and I think it would be tons of fun to start reviewing on the side. I enjoy reading as much as I do writing and I can't wait to get started!<br />
<br />
You can check out my new blog <a href="http://enchantedwithbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a><br />
It's not much right now as I am just starting the building process, but hopefully it will grow and become a great place for other bloggers, readers and writers to meet and talk all things books.<br />

The House of Night series is an international phenomenon, reaching #1
on U.S., German, and UK bestseller lists, and remaining a fixture on
the <i>New York Times</i> Children’s Series bestseller list for more
than 140 weeks and counting. With nearly 12 million copies in print,
rights sold in thirty-eight countries to date, and relatable, addictive
characters, this series is unstoppable. Now in <i>Hidden</i>, the tenth installment of the series, the stakes are higher than ever before.<br />
<br />
<br />
Neferet’s
true nature has been revealed to the Vampyre High Council, so Zoey and
the gang might finally get some help in defending themselves and their
beloved school against a gathering evil that grows stronger every day.
And they’ll need it, because Neferet’s not going down without a fight. <i>Chaos reigns at the House of Night.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I just finished reading this book, and as with the rest of them, I really liked it. I'm so glad the series is continuing on, there are just so many questions that still need to be answered! Like whose side is Kalona really on, is Health ever coming back, which of the fledglings are gong to switch sides, and will Neferet EVER DIE!? </i><br />
<br />
<i>I know a lot of people hate these books, but they are terribly wonderful. I've read the rest of P.C.'s books and I enjoy her writing. I actually wish she wrote this series herself as I can tell the difference where her daughter steps in and I think I like P.C's writing much, much better. But nevertheless, this is one of my favorite series at the moment and I always get giddy when I see that the next book is out. </i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458551111799200746.post-5332475340470126722012-11-05T06:08:00.001-08:002012-11-05T19:29:26.288-08:00Cover Reveal!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And here it is, the cover for my brand new paranormal love story, Falling From Eternity! Please excuse me whilst I skip around my office and do a little happy dance! I had been struggling with this cover for weeks, not knowing how I wanted it to look, but the marvelous Najla Qamber saved me. She was able to piece together my confusing ideas, and create this masterpiece. I'd also like to thank Marcus J. Ranum for some great stock that helped create this wonderful cover!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I know everyone is probably wondering when this book is coming out...okay, I'm hoping you're all wondering when this book is coming out, but I don't have an official date yet but it will be soon. Very soon. I do, however, have a small snip-it from the book to share with you. Hopefully it will satisfy your cravings for now. </div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I
looked around the cemetery at the dead trees, and lonely tombstones; at the
long deceased flowers and desolate landscape, and realized that maybe there
really wasn’t anything more than this. </span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You live and then you die. My
immortality wasn’t some gift to make a difference in the world, or to give me
time to find purpose in life, but simply a curse. A curse to wander around in a
stagnant void. </span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I could be nothing more than what I was, a creature of
nightmare. My existence had no meaning, no point. I lived only to feed, to
gorge myself on blood and satisfy my every desire no matter how dark or cruel.</span></i><br />
<br />

I've been slacking lately. Mostly because I was sick for about two weeks, but also because I didn't have much to say. I've still been plugging away at my workout schedule, and even doing better at eating healthier, but my results are still stagnant. Right now I am sitting at a total weight loss since the very beginning of 4 lbs. Now, it doesn't really seem like much, but... well, to be honest, to me it doesn't sound like anything. I attribute that 4 lbs. to getting my hair cut. There is good news though, however small, but I think my clothes are starting to fit better... ish. I'm going on vaca next week, but I plan to keep up on my cardio. Hopefully I can talk my dad or one of my brothers to jog with me lol If not, at least the dog can't say no, right?<br />
<br />
On another note, my 2012 Making Strides against Breast Cancer ended up being a beautiful day! I walked with my niece and nephew. We did the entire 3 mile walk, and had a lot of fun! Here is one of the pics of the crowd I took. After such hard work I thought <strike>I</strike> the kids deserved some frozen yogurt! I must say it was the perfect way to end the day.<br />

Apparently we didn't get enough walking in, so the fam and I went to a nearby orchard the very next day to get first pick on pumpkins! It was lots of fun, and wayyyy too hot! I'm seriously ready for fall, and it takes to long to get here. It's October and I'm tired of 90 degree temps. I did take some pretty shots of the orchard though. You can see how insanely long the apple aisles are. With a wagon full of pumpkins it took ages to walk the whole way lol <br />
<br />
I'm also finishing up my first love story. If you follow me on FB you probably already know that I am working on it and I've only got one chapter left to write. There's no cover for this one yet, and I am still ify on the title I've chosen but I hope its an enjoyable read for everyone. <br />

On top of that I'm still working on Devour. I know a lot of people are patiently awaiting the third book in the series, and I'm working hard to finish it. I want it to be the very best it can be. But, I can firmly say I am 3/4 of the way through the first draft. :o) The story has taken on a life of its own as most of mine tend to do, but I like the way its going. My fingers are still crossed for a December 1st release. It's later than I had originally planned, but I want to give myself enough time to work on it. There are so many processes involved and I don't want to skip any of the important steps. <br />
<br />
The good news though is that I am working on some excellent swag. Stuff that I've never personally done before and I hope that by offering something unique it will help draw people to the release event when I have it. In the past I've had trouble with events and I hope that things can go smoothly this time around. That's all for now! I need to get myself a slurpee and get back to the laptop and finish this new book! <br />

It is hard to believe that is has been a year since my very first Making Strides event. I'm excited to do another one and hopefully I'm in better shape this time around. I truly believe that these walks make a big difference by helping spread awareness but by also showing support. I'll be walking for my mama Janet again this year, and I'm excited because a few days afterward I'll be flying out to visit her.</div>

Since 1993, 8 million walkers across the United States have raised more
than $460 million to help fight breast cancer through Making Strides
events. In 2011 alone, 1 million walkers across the country collected
more than $60 million to help fight this disease.</div>

I must say I am becoming a bit disheartened by this whole challenge. After 5 weeks, I expected to start seeing some results, yet I feel I've done all this hard work with nothing to show for it. Maybe doing the old-fashion exercise and healthy eating method isn't enough? I started this wanting to stick to the natural way of doing things but I'm starting to believe that isn't enough. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have a little extra help from some kind of weight loss supplement. A few years ago I tried SlimQuick and liked it. I'm thinking I'll give it a try starting tomorrow and see if next weeks results are any better. This journey is quickly becoming more difficult than I realized. I thought I prepared myself for the toll it would take on my body physically, but I didn't prepare mentally at all. I don't know what to do to fix that but I'm determined to try. There are many days that I want to give up this challenge, and there are days where I am still desperately holding out hope that the pounds will start disappearing. For now, the blubber has won this battle, hopefully I win the war.<br />

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.2727px;">All
my life, I had searched for something, something I thought I ought to
be. I felt like I was living someone else’s life, waiting for the
awakening of my own. I felt like an empty shell burning for life. That
was, until the day I lay dying in the prince’s chambers. I could no
longer feel the pain from the tear in my gut. The only sensation left
was a hollowed-out feeling that I had made a huge mistake in assuming
that taking my own life, would have stopped the ancestors’ spirit from
raging out. I had given up. I didn’t want to see myself killing the ones
I loved. I was the Chosen one, but I threw it all away for what I
thought would save a life. Could you end a life to save a life? I did,
and I have regretted it ever since. I realized then that things like me
are not meant to exist. What had been missing my whole life? It was I.
To find myself, I had to lose myself in the worst possible way. The
consequences of my actions became the legend of The Broken.</span></span></span></span></div>

I'd like to tell myself that my few days of weight lifting attributed to my results, but I just can't believe it. In fact, I <i>know</i> what caused them. It was my poor choice, while succumbing to the stress of having a broken water heater for 3 days.<br />
<br />
I went to McDonald's. No, I'm not proud to admit it. The sad thing is, I don't even really like McDonald's! I know! What the heck was I thinking? If I was going to break the rules I should have at least gone some place I enjoyed. Sigh.<br />
<br />
Despite my lack of self-control, I still went to the gym, but only 3 times this week instead of my usual 4. I cut my cardio in half, down to 30 minutes, and do another 30 on crunches, leg work, abs, etc. I guess I need to just keep chugging along, and maybe, eventually, I'll start losing again.<br />
