Another Book Finished & A Big Book More Than Halfway Done

I finished another book and as of last night I am more than halfway done with my next book which is going to be my first Big Book and by Big Book I mean around 90,000 to 100,000 words. Actually as of last Night I am at 71,049 words and still writing. That means I’ve finished 13 chapters and halfway through chapter 14 in writing my Big book and still writing. GO ME!!  I’m very happy so far that I have accomplished this much and hope to write more books. If you been keeping up with my updates then you know that I’ve been writing a lot and although I don’t pick a certain genre to write in, it seems lately my characters want me to be in Romance and right now a love triangle and then some. Surprisingly I find myself just loving to write for fun. I can finally use my wild ideas from my imagination that are so a mish mash until I get them typed out. Do I Love It? You bet I do, very much so!!

I thank everyone for their support.

 

 

Two Books Completed And A Third Book Started

YEAH I HAVE GONE AND DONE IT. Yes I have. So what have I gone and done? Well… between helping take care of my Mother who can not walk and is in her Lift Chair 24/7 and recovering from an accident in December, a later accident and then one where I did a literal Face plant and did my shoulder in I somehow found time to complete two books and start another one. To give you an idea of my books here are the titles of my books and OH yeah there is a good chance there might be a fourth book too. So the titles of my books are as follows: The Hot, Sexy, Clueless, Arrogant, Cocky, Obstinate Cocky, Bachelor & The Unexpected Heir: Book 1, The Most Unexpected, Beautiful & Gorgeous Engagement Of The Century: Book 2 and the book I just started is entitled: The Most Beautiful & Gorgeous Wedding Of The Century: Book 3.

Somehow I have managed to get three chapters finished and a fourth chapter started which means I’m at 13,858 words. I am trying to get to Novel Length which is 40,000 words which means I only have 26,142 words to go which for me is very easy at least for me it is since I’m very wordy LOL. I will try to keep you updated every now and then. Wish Me Luck.

 

Completed: Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor…

I am so excited, I finally completed Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor… in which this book is not only a Romance book but a Second Chance Romance that has a lot of twists and turns in the plot to keep things interesting. Writing this book was fun, stress free and I had so much fun writing it and I think the main reason is I wrote my book from all the ideas in my mind, my imagination and my fantasies of how things might have turned out not to mention I got some of my ideas for this book from my life experiences too. Believe it or not but I always wondered what things would be like if things turned out the way you thought they should. You know what they say about Love, you may try to forget but the heart wants what the heart wants and I should mention this book is Fiction and any similarities are just that similarities.

I just started writing another book and I am hoping to have it done by December 31, 2023 but if not no big deal. I will tell you this book that I just started writing is about a girl who goes to college and gets a dual Doctorate Degree and as usual my ideas are from my imagination, wishful thinking and so much more. Still haven’t decided  what the title for my my next book will be for sure.  I finished my book on Jan. 23, 2023. I started another one on Jan. 26, 2023. We’ll see how that goes.

 

 

Winter’s Mother 1 By L. Starla: Print Book Review

Goodreads/Author’s Note: This is the third of six main books in the Winter’s Magic Series. It is advisable to start with Winter’s Maiden 1.

Goodreads/Author’s Warning: This book contains coarse language, adultery in a crumbling marriage, and explicit scenes, including steamy m/f/f romance, that may upset or offend some readers. It also ends on a cliffhanger , with the sequel launching in May 2023.

I have been reviewing print books for L. Starla for a while now but for some reason when I read her books, I find the plots intriguing, action packed, wondering if it could happen in real life and sometimes I find my answer is a resounding YES. Yes I analyze the book while I use it as a vacation and escape for myself from daily life that sometimes is overwhelming and quite stressful. I’m thrilled to review the author’s books and her series.

As I said in the previous paragraph, the plots with Brendan, Alannah and now their Daughter Neve and the secondary characters are just extraordinary and please don’t judge me to harshly but I enjoyed reading the book.

I recommend this book to anyone that is 18 or over and parents, grandparents or legal guardian if you aren’t sure if you want your child reading this book well then you read the book first and then decide for yourself.

Box Set + Sequel Completed + Another Book Started

Another milestone complete, I completed my box set + Sequel + started another book in which I have a partial title for and this makes me happy. This gives me hope that I am talented at something and one of my dreams is that someday I will be published and even if I’m not well I know I’m a talented writer even if it is for fun.

Happy Tuesday is always fun especially when something you have just accomplished makes you happy and you want to share that with others.

Wish me luck with this next book because not sure it is going to be a stand a lone book or not. I’m also not sure where I want this book to go. I’ve got plenty of ideas swirling around in my mind but getting them to paper and figuring out where they should go is another story.

Collision: The Good Girl And The Mean Girl Completed & A Sequel Started…

I did it, I completed another book and this book is book #3 entitled Collision: The Good Girl And The Mean Girl and still deciding on a title for the Sequel which is going to be a murder/mystery/romance. I can’t believe that I finished 3 books in the year of 2022 and started a Sequel. Right now my title for the Sequel is: Princesses, Princes & Their Cowgirls & Cowboys & A Murder: The Sequel. Although the Sequel is still in the planning stages I am writing it as I see fit and as the words come to me. 

From what I have researched, a sequel is supposed to be shorter than the book you just finished writing. Actually they suggest 300-800 words. I laugh at this mostly because when I write, I write a lot of words and being short is not in my nature if you know what I mean LOL… I guess we’ll see what happens. 

Book 2: The Miracle Of True Love Finally Completed

Double accomplishment and I can’t believe I did it but I did, you see not only have I completed one book in 2022 but two and started a third. Book 1 which is entitled When Love, Murder & Rejection Collide. Book 2 is entitled The Miracle Of True Love Finally Hits The Bulls Eye. I can’t tell you how happy and thrilled I am of these two accomplishments now to figure out a title for book three. I have several title possibilities but the one I’m leaning towards is Power VS. Love… Which One Wins Out? What do you think.

When I was writing Book 2, I had a pretty good idea what type of book I wanted it to be but guess what Yepers that is right my characters took over and they had other ideas so Book 2 ended up steamier and hotter than I’d planned but I kept the swearing out of it. Also you all should know, I had fun no a blast writing Book 2 this way. 

I need some help with a title for Book 3 and any suggestions put in the comments. Below is a little about the book.

I would like the book to be about a power hungry bully who tries to split up the main two characters who are Queen Diann and King Sphen, Queen Diann has always been Royalty but King Sphen well… he is a poor old Ranch Hand that was in Queen Diann’s Senior Class helped the head bully bully Queen Diann but since then Queen Diann has forgiven him and they by chance see one another again and he realizes he’s always been in love with her but this doesn’t sit well the power hungry bully who does everything in her power to split them up including spreading lies and lying to Queen Diann’s husband about her where about, what she’s been doing and her past.

Please give me ideas. Thanks.

 

When Love, Murder & Rejection Collide Book 1 Finally Completed!!

I did it I really did it, I finally completed my first book done with all my characters in which I entitled When Love, Murder, & Rejection Collide!! As you can tell from the title, Book one is about Love, Murder, & Rejection Collide. Now a little bit about about Book 2 in which I just started writing. Book 2 is entitled The Miracle Of True Love Finally Hits The Bulls Eye!! Book 2 is more of a Romance story. These two books have been really fun to write yet at the same time healing. You see my ideas for these two books are based on my experiences dealing with bullies in my past although I don’t use their real names, I put the book as fiction and finally of how I wish things could of turned out. I Added murder, love & rejection and I got a pretty decent book or at least I think so. If you ever read or even written a book then be honest with me and yourself, ever fallen in love with that bad boy that deep down, he doesn’t turn out so bad but the girl is still pretty leary of him? I have. I’ve fallen for my bad boy Sphen and fallen hard. I finished When Love, Murder, & Rejection Collide at 51,196 words and yes it ends in a cliffhanger sort of… 

Maybe my dream of getting published might come true after all. I’ve accomplished the writing step and become an author. I may be an unpublished author but I’m an author none the less. Accomplishing writing my first book and first real box set. Am I happy— YOU BET I’M HAPPY!! I’m so happy I’ve been doing a continuous happy dance lol.

THE Light Catcher MURDERS: Paperback Review

Welcome:

Hi everyone, welcome to CRYSTAL AND DAISY MAE’S PHOTO-BLOGGING SITE. As most of you know my our site is so much more than photos. However, for those who are visiting our site for the very first welcome and we hope you come back. Today, I’ll be reviewing a paperback book.

Title Of Book: THE Light Catcher MURDERS

Author: Jo Cassie McCrae

Type Of Book: Mystery/Suspense/Intrigue

Author’s Book Excerpt

NESTLED IN THE SCENIC TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, THE COZY TOWN OF WHEATON CREEK SEEMED AN IDYLLIC PLACE TO ESCAPE THE WORLD’S INCREASINGLY HARSH REALITIES. AT LEAST, THAT’S WHAT KATE ATHERTON THOUGHT.

HAVING ENJOYED A LONG, SUCCESSFUL CAREER WITH A SPECIALIZED, HIGHLY SECRET FEDERAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, CRISES IN BOTH KATE ATHERTON’S PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE DROVE HER TO EARLY RETIREMENT AND, ULTIMATELY, TO WHEATON CREEK. THE SMALL TOWN WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR HER AND HER FORMER-MILITARY HUSBAND TO ESCAPE WHAT HAD COME TO FEEL LIKE A WORLD MADE UP OF WARS, HATRED, FEAR, AND ULTIMATELY DEATH. AND, AT FIRST, THE ESCAPE WAS ALL KATE HAD HOPED FOR. THEN MURDER CAME TO WHEATON CREEK-A CRIME THAT THE COUNTY SHERIFF SEEMS DETERMINED TO PIN ON KATE’S PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND, LUCY CELEK.

LUCY’S WORK HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO APPEAR AT A PRESTIGIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL, A FESTIVAL THAT COULD TAKE HER FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL STANDING. ALL GOES WELL UNTIL  THE GATHERING DISPLAYING HER WORK IS BROKEN INTO, AND ONE OF LUCY’S PHOTOGRAPHS IS VANDALIZED. A WEEK LATER, THE MAN LUCY SUSPECTED OF DESTROYING HER PHOTOGRAPH-A FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHER WHO WAS ANGRY THAT HIS OWN WORK WAS NOT CHOSEN BY THE FESTIVAL COMMITTEE-IS MURDERED. FACED WITH A SHERIFF WHO SHOWS LITTLE INTEREST IN EXPANDING HIS LIST OF SUSPECTS BEYOND LUCY, KATE FEELS SHE MUST DUST OFF HER PUZZLE-SOLVING SKILLS TO FIND THE REAL KILLER. MURDER IS JUST THE BEGINNING, THOUGH, AS KATE’S SLEUTHING BEGINS TO REVEAL A TANGLED WEB OF CRIMES THAT GO BEYOND ANYTHING SHE COULD HAVE IMAGINED.

What I Thought:

Wow!! This book is mysterious, suspenseful, very intriguing, a page turner, easy to read, lots of plot twists and turns, keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. I actually hated to put this book down. I loved this book. This book was excellent and well written. Kudos to the author. I look forward to reading the rest of this author’s books in print format.

My Book Recommendation:

I highly recommend this book and suggest you go out and buy this book, read it yourself and hopefully review it. I will definitely be reading this book again in the future.

A Friendly Suggestion:

Parents, Grandparents, Legal Guardians, if for some reason you question whether your kids or grandkids should read the book just by reading the book excerpt or by looking at the book cover then I suggest you read the book first yourself then make your decision. But I found nothing wrong with reading this book.

Disclaimer

I reached out to the author to review her books. She provided me with a paperback copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. The above review is my honest review. I do not charge to do reviews.
