Happy Release to my VBFF, Heather Dahglren

Today is my VBFF's (virtual bff) release day of her latest book, Renegade. Heather Dahlgren ROCKS this book and rocks with Fitz and Brooklyn. Total HOTNESS throughout the story. You All should go check it out!
So very proud of Heather. We have known one another for a couple years now, and have come a long way together. We may haven't met in person, but she's become such a special friend in my life, I really don't know what I'd do without her in this crazy author world.
I've seen her rise in her writing.. She never disappoints and works extremely hard.
Happy Release Day Heather!

BLURB:

Brooklyn Adler has the life she’s planned for. Job, house, and boyfriend – in that order. It’s a boring, routine life where there are no surprises and nothing is spontaneous. It’s safe, it’s mundane and she’s fine with that. 

Crosby Fitzgerald, better known as Fitz from the band Renegade, has a life he never planned for. Popularity, women and success – not always in that order. Everything he does is spontaneous and exciting, because life is worth living to the fullest. 

A chance meeting with Brooklyn and Fitz alters both of their worlds – ensuring neither will ever be the same.

Freaking LOVE making teasers

I'm going nuts with making Chasing Paige teasers. Every time I create a new quote, I make it into a teaser. I freaking love doing it and setting off my loyal readers is half the fun.
I am more than half done with CP. While I don't have a set release date, I do know it will be ready this coming November. It seems I get nervous with every book when it comes to dates of releases. I never know exactly when I'll be finished. I have to make sure that my formatter has an opening, so I always make sure it's way in advance so I can kick ass to finish the story. That's what's happening with CP. I want this out before the new year. 2 books per year, that is my goal.
So without further ado, here is the latest teaser.
BLURB:
Paige Turner - A 28 year old widow who owns a bookstore called Chasing Pages meets someone unexpectedly after two years of her husband’s death. Little does she know he's the one who writes her favorite novels and has a secret he is keeping from her.
James Diamond Parker AKA J.D. Parker - is a horror novelist who is having a signing at Paige's book store. The first glimpse of Paige and he instantly feels a connection with her. Love begins to brew between the two of them, yet there is something James is keeping from Paige, something that will change everything between them.

Teaser Tuesday Excursion!!!!!!!

So, I've been slacking on the blog lately. Due to writing Chasing Paige, my son getting his wisdom teeth taken out, to traveling up to bring my daughter home from camping all week with family and basically being lazy - like usual LOL.
Today is Teaser Tuesday and I have a couple new ones to share, from Chasing Paige. I am in love with these new ones that I have made. I believe they're my best yet.
Just like anything, the more you work on something, the better you get at it. I spend a lot of time on my teasers to make them look professional and beautiful. I think I do an amazing job on them and I am not just saying that because it's my work, I just know that they are. I wish more authors would use me to make them beautiful teasers. Their $$$ would not be wasted.
On another note, Chasing Paige is coming along quite well. I am praying that I finish it before October, because I am going to get busy during that month. Lots of things happening: Vegas, book singing in LA, Cali and then going on an unexpected local cruise with my 94 yr old grandfather who needed a companion. Since I stay home, I am able to do this. And even though my son's 17th bday is the same time I go on this excursion, he is allowing me to miss his special day. My husband thinks this is a good thing, to spend this quality time with my grandfather because he's not going to be around forever. My grandfather has always claimed he will live till 100 and I believe him. He's still in great shape and has always loved traveling. So there you have it LOL. I am going on a cruise up and down Southern/Northern California - the least favorite thing for me to do, since I live in California and have seen everything already, but it does travel into Ensenada. Woo hoo! LOL. However, I will treasure this escapade with my grandfather.
Okay, who is ready for some teasers! Don't forget to TBR Chasing Paige!!!!




Coming Fall 2016!!!

Revamping Forbidden Faith

Recently I have decided to re-edit/polish up Forbidden Faith. The reason? Since 2014, I have learned so much at being a writer, that when I look back at FF I realize how much I didn't know back then. I see ALL the flaws that someone may not notice, but it annoys me to see what needs to be fixed. I don't want to give someone a book and for it to be not the best, ya know? Yes, I still have many paperbacks with the old edits, but there is not much I can do about that. I need to sell them at my signings. I am always hoping the readers won't see those flaws that I somehow overlooked or better yet, hadn't analyzed back then.
Being a reader first, I read a ton of books. To me, this has developed me into the writer I am today, and the fact that I just allow myself - my words - to flow instead of worrying about details and how things are supposed to be. I write from my heart and from my characters' heart. They are speaking inside me and I am just their ghost writer. Now I am just talking crazy, aren't I. This is how most of writers, in my opinion, think.
Anyways, back to Forbidden Faith.
I re-edited this one scene that I thought was too hot not to share. Hope you enjoy and buy the book, even though it's not up to date or for most, up to par. It's a great story and is unpredictable. Give it a chance. You won't know what hit you when you get deeper into the story.
Trust me, it's a rollercoaster

*You can now get FF on Walmart.com !!!!*

Teaser Tuesday

I want to show off a brand new teaser I created for Chasing Paige. Not only do I write, I also love making teasers, promo banners, cover banner and fliers. It's my little side business to help with purchasing covers for my books. I've made a ton of teasers for friends/authors. It's been so fun. My business is called Tiff's Teaser Designs. At first it was hard taking money from my friends and to tell them how much they owe me, but the more I have been doing it, the easier it has gotten. If they want a good teaser or promo banner, unfortunately there is a price tag. I love helping those that hate making them - or those that simply don't have the time and talent. I've always been good at creating and using my imagination - what better way to use it through creating teasers that go with someone's book/s...?
On that note, here is my teaser. TBR it on Goodreads!



BLURB:
Paige Turner - A 28 year old widow who owns a bookstore called Chasing Pages meets someone unexpectedly after two years of her husband’s death. Little does she know he's the one who writes her favorite novels and has a secret he is keeping from her.


James Diamond Parker AKA J.D. Parker - is a horror novelist who is having a signing at Paige's book store. The first glimpse of Paige and he instantly feels a connection with her. Love begins to brew between the two of them, yet there is something James is keeping from Paige, something that will change everything between them.
Will the secret destroy their newly founded love, or tie them closer together
