New Year

Welcome to the New Year! Thank you for joining me here at my blog!

This year I’m trying a few new things like speech-to-text documents. I will forewarn you that things are probably going to get a little strange cuz I’m going to start doing this all the time considering how I write my stories. They pretty much in a script form.  Now that I know that I can do this, that means all those scenes that I’m not entirely sure how to put into words I could just talk about endlessly. It’s going to be fun, at least for me, my family probably not so much cuz I usually don’t talk about my books which means I’m going to be a chatterbox. Now mind you, here on WordPress they do not have a talk to text app at least not that I know of. I am doing this purely on Google Docs and then I’m shifting it over to my blog here on WordPress.

I would like to talk to you a little bit today about my current projects. I’m sure some of you’ve been around for a while and have been with me since my blog was back on the original bloggers site, then you’ve probably heard of Asmathia. I currently have a new story that is set in that universe and it is going to be taking place in one of the citys that you will see in the main story. This is just going to be a little short story for now. Just something to kind of help get me back into the groove of things.

I am hoping to see this year at least one or two of my stories getting published. Unfortunately I am going to be shifting from Amazon to draft2digital. I will then be able to launch everything on different platforms all at once instead of having to go to each separate platform and go from there. I will probably be relaunching all my current published books. Which means I will be taking them down. So if you already have the Millersburg series and Galaxing Around then you will probably not see them anymore after the next few days.

I’m sorry that it’s been over a month since I blogged last. Things have been changing. As I stated in my last blog I do not have a full time job anymore. I got up this morning and I felt more like myself than I have in a very long time. I made breakfast. I haven’t made breakfast for my family in forever. I made pancakes and eggs this morning I would have made bacon but I didn’t have any pulled out and dethawed.

Now my next project is going to be very interesting I know some of you have been with me on Instagram and have seen me talk about my horror story. I was going to publish this under the pen name of T.H. Johnson. I may just use my Alice Frost pen name.

In the coming months I am going to be on the hunt for a new cover artist. The young lady that did my cover art for my books is no longer in the game. she is no longer part of Fiverr, which is a little bit sad because I really really liked her artwork. So if you have a cover artist that would be willing to do book covers for me please let me know. I usually look on Fiverr I am now going to be looking in other places

I’m also going to be revamping Galaxing Around. I do not like how I ended that book. I have stated before that I am going to be doing updates to all of my books. Now that I have this talk to text feature, I am probably going to be going crazy with it.

I do want to thank you all for coming today. I am going to leave it off here. Hopefully, I will get to my blog a little bit faster now. So thank you all for coming!

Patreon

I now have a Patreon page. You can find it here.  I will have Patreon exclusive stories and content. The first chapter of my first Patreon story is currently available for everyone to read but the rest will be patron-only. I will be adding all extra content that I have to the patron-only tiers. Thank you for your support.

Quick Update

Sorry I haven’t updated with the next prompt challenge (on either blog) but I became engrossed in my work. I have been working on the third installment of the Millersburg Shifters series, Spy’s Temptation. I do not know how long this book will be seeing as there is a lot I want to see go into this one. So I have a very shaky release date. It’s more like ‘I hope I’m done by this date’.

I have been asked if I will release all three books in a bundle pack and I will be. But before I do I am going to be going through the first two and fine tuning them just a bit before putting them in the bundle. Nothing major (I think).

I do have a couple of stories I would like to see make it onto your electronic devices but that all depends on my schedule and work *cough* procrastination *cough* level. Though I do have a bonus coming this week. My son is starting school which means I have my days off to do whatever I need to to get done with my work load.

Also, I am wishing my momma a Happy Birthday today. She turned another year older and had a great day of just relaxing. I can’t wait for next month when I get a weekend of just relaxing on my birthday, no child, no work (main job), and just me and my computer. Ah, fun times to come.

Write drunk; edit sober.

I hope you all have an awesome week. Since this is my Friday I’ll be sleeping in for the next two days for the last time until school break. *cries* But as a single mom I am rejoicing at the fact that it is back to school time.

It has been almost a month since the release of Galaxing Around and I hope everyone is enjoying it! I announced the other day that Galaxing Around is now available in print. I am also thinking about printing my first two books as well and I’ve been toying with the idea of publishing on different platforms other than Amazon. I don’t know yet.

I admit I will be doing a bit of self-promotion at the bottom of this but hey I’m a writer and I want to bring in more readers. Also if you have read or decide to read my books please leave a review.

Trinity Mates
Galaxing Around: Kindle- http://goo.gl/TP2Wpe Papaerback- http://goo.gl/8mkeiz
Infamous space pirate Kria has problems and not just being a wanted fugitive. Or mental ones. No, these problems can mostly be place on the shoulders of two arrogant males. And yes she was blaming them for her family problems even if they had nothing to do with it.

Verdal and Fyre were never ones to be friendly, much less share. Being on rivaling sides of an ancient planetary feud, can they bring themselves to share their feisty mate? Can they accept that their mate is from one of the planets that theirs is fighting against? Either way they may have to spank her rear-end for driving them insane.

When old enemies and ever present danger comes closer, Kria must trust not only her mates but a member of her family that she never knew about. The only way they can survive is to overcome eons old hatred and learn to trust in each other. But can they and their friends stay alive long enough to accomplish this?

As I said I will be holding one on here and two over on my Facebook page.

Galaxing Around Excerpt #3

The release of Galaxing Around is looming closer and my nervousness and excitement ratchets up. I hope all of you enjoy it when it comes out. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy then you can do so here: http://goo.gl/TP2Wpe

So here is a excerpt for all of you to read while you wait.

Kria woke up entangled with Fyre and Verdal. She smiled and touched a lock of Fyre’s hair. He was different but like Verdal. They hadn’t had a chance to spend any time alone but she knew they would have time soon enough. A light knock had all of them climbing out of bed. She quickly pulled on her pants and shirt before opening the door.

Raznik looked at her, his eyes dark with worry. “We may have a couple of problems.”

“What is it?” Verdal asked from behind her.

“Drevyn and Adryn left the infirmary to sit with their mate. Both of them need medical attention but are refusing to budge from where they have taken up vigil,” Raznik said. “We also had a transmission from the resistance leader. Things aren’t good on Freor. They are having to evacuate refugees and not knowing where to send them…” He sighed. “I had her send the refugees to Kralien.”

Kria nodded. “Have Mira set course for Kralien. If we head there now we should make it before they do.”

“Already done, but that isn’t all,” Raznik said stoically.

“What else is there?” Fyre asked.

“Cronos has ordered any suspicious crafts leaving Freor to be either searched on sight or blown apart, whichever is more convenient.”

Kria looked at him in horror. “But that means he’s willingly killing hundreds if not thousands of innocent lives.”

Raznik nodded as Fyre and Verdal growled. “I have already contacted my crew. They will meet us on Kralien with anyone willing to fight for our cause.”

“What cause did you tell them?” Kria asked curiously.

“That we were going to free Freor.” Raznik smiled at her look of astonishment. He looked at Verdal. “Your sire has also contacted allies of his own. They will also be meeting us on Kralien.”

“I think it’s time we talk to my stalker and find out what she knows,” Kria said. Her people needed justice and if she needed to cut a few people down to do it then she was more than willing to do it.

Excerpt #2

The release of Galaxing Around is less than 20 days out! So I am giving everyone another excerpt. I hope you enjoy this little excerpt and be sure to order your copy of Galaxing Around today!

Excerpt:

Verdal growled in irritation as Alex and Fyre squabbled with each other. He hoped they found Kria soon or he would have to kill them. Then she would really be angry at him. Maybe he could accidentally lose them in this forest.

“Are we even sure she’s in this area? He could have dumped her anywhere on the planet. Plus how are even sure she is still alive?” Alex asked as he followed behind Fyre.

Fyre growled at him. “She better be alive or I’ll take my anger out on you.”

“Why me? Why are you acting like a child?” Alex asked. He had been volunteered to be the pack mule while Fyre hacked through the foliage and Verdal brought up the rear. Somehow he didn’t think it was fair that he had to haul everything around while those two only carried weapons.

“Immature?!” Fyre growled. He wanted to turn around and hack into Alex but he held his anger. “You’re the one who had us gallivanting around the galaxy because you couldn’t lock onto the planet’s signal. You wouldn’t believe Neera or Mira and they are AI’s!”

“Will you two shut up already? You’ve brought attention to ourselves with your squabbling.” He stopped and scanned their surroundings. He saw a stream not far from their location along with several groupings of boulders. “Come out. I know you’re there.”

Kria shifted to go towards them only to be held still by Raznik. He held a finger to his lips and pointed at a densely packed area of woods. She could only watch as her crew was surrounded by hunters. She also wanted to know why Fyre was with them. Didn’t they know he was part of the Death Squad?

She jumped in fright as another hunter seemed to materialize from nowhere in front of them and grabbed her. She grabbed her knife and sliced at his arm while Raznik embedded it in the hunter’s neck. They continued to fight as more hunters came towards them. They had injured almost all of them when one grabbed her around the waist and pressed a knife against her neck.. She swung her knife up, aiming for his head only to have it knocked from her hands.

Raznik held up his hands and handed his own knife over. He refused to be the reason for why she got hurt. The hunter took the knife from him and shoved Kria towards him. He wrapped his arms around her and growled angrily when the hunter shoved them both towards where her crew had been captured.

Verdal and Fyre looked to where the growling was coming from and saw Kria wrapped in the arms of a large unknown male. Both of them growled in anger at the sight of someone touching their mate.

A hunter hit them across the back of their heads. “Quiet.”

The hunters proceeded to cuff them and search them for any hidden weapons. Kria’s eyes widened at the amount of blades they removed from Verdal and Fyre. They widened even more when they pulled a long knife from Raznik’s clothing.

He shrugged at her inquiring look. “Found it while you were sleeping.”

She glowered at him as they were led towards a large clearing at the base of the valley. Raznik placed himself between her and her crew, causing Verdal and Fyre to growl. She glanced over her shoulder and saw them glaring at Raznik. Why were they growling? More specifically why was Fyre growling? She wasn’t anything to him but a bounty.

The hunters led them to the clearing and stopped them in the middle of it. Kria felt a shiver of apprehension creep down her spine. There wasn’t any signs of civilization. If they hadn’t been brought here to be used as food then why were they here?

One of the hunters pulled a com from his clothes and tapped on it. Not long after a ship came into view. She knew that ship. It was the same ship that she had to infiltrate to save Verdal. If Millie was here then that meant it was going to be downhill from there.

The ship landed and lowered the loading ramp. Millie was standing at the opening. She was dressed in her usual attire of skin tight pants and corset top. Millie loved to dress like a badass. Though being the queen of her species meant that she was one. But then she was kinda scary to look at. She was humanoid but several features from her true form showed through, mainly her soulless black eyes and fangs.

Kria cleared her throat. “Millie, what a nice surprise. What brings you out here?”

Millie laughed haughtily. “Why, my dear little Kria, I have come to make me late husband’s last wishes come true.”
