Springing Forward and THE EIGHTH DAY

I bid thee farewell to that one hour lost. I doth enjoyed having thee around and wasn't of a keen mind to lose thee. But the benefit of more sunshine when I get off from work will simply have to placate me lol!!

Speaking of losing or adding time, how about having an extra day in the week? That's exactly the kind of thing brilliant author Dianne Salerni tackles with her MG novel THE EIGHTH DAY.

Here's a description from Goodreads (ADD TO GOODREADS):
In this riveting fantasy adventure, thirteen-year-old Jax Aubrey discovers a secret eighth day with roots tracing back to Arthurian legend. Fans of Percy Jackson will devour this first book in a new series that combines exciting magic and pulse-pounding suspense.

When Jax wakes up to a world without any people in it, he assumes it's the zombie apocalypse. But when he runs into his eighteen-year-old guardian, Riley Pendare, he learns that he's really in the eighth day—an extra day sandwiched between Wednesday and Thursday. Some people—like Jax and Riley—are Transitioners, able to live in all eight days, while others, including Evangeline, the elusive teenage girl who's been hiding in the house next door, exist only on this special day.

And there's a reason Evangeline's hiding. She is a descendant of the powerful wizard Merlin, and there is a group of people who wish to use her in order to destroy the normal seven-day world and all who live in it. Torn between protecting his new friend and saving the entire human race from complete destruction, Jax is faced with an impossible choice. Even with an eighth day, time is running out.

My thoughts:
I'm so glad I had a chance to receive an ARC and read this story. It kept me engaged from the first page to the last.

Jax makes the kind of decisions and mistakes you expect of any thirteen-year-old boy, especially after making one weirded out discovery after another.

There were a few times I wanted to flick Riley on the ear but even he got a pass from me once Dianne wove his back story into the scheme of things.

The mythos is wonderful and I absolutely love it. This is a great novel for both boys and girls and for the MG reader at heart. I wish it a great amount of success when it's released, which I believe is in April 2014.

So, what would YOU do if you had an extra day in the week?

Let the "Funishment" Begin

~ ~ ~ Chancellor Baltimore goes by many titles: geek-extraordinaire, sex fiend, self-proclaimed sexpert, and now…Master Baltimore. In this installment of Confessions of a Sex Fiend, it isn’t just Chancellor confessing. There’s so much to discover when Mallory shares her point of view. ~ ~ ~

This episode is all about impact:

The impact of joy

The impact of pain

The impact when joy and pain crash together…adding in a little “funishment”

And we get to experience the journey of sexual dominance and submission as Chancellor and Mallory open the door upon their “just another Tuesday session.”

Let’s enjoy this tale of a sex fiend as Chancellor continues to break the rule that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Shhhhh! Don’t tell anyone. It’ll be our little secret…

Here's a snippet to whet yon appetite:

~ I never thought of such a thing before, but, for the first time in my life, I imagined grabbing a chunk of her auburn hair from behind, yanking her to me, tilting her head back and crushing her lips with my own like a miner in search for gold. The very thought sent a vein of heat warming everything between my legs.

“Come with me,” she offered. “And I’ll show you.”

Her hazel eyes glinted like the devil. And yes, I took the deal.

Mallory started me off with some of the basics of the lifestyle. I quickly found myself taking to the lessons like a dying man savoring his last meal. The bindings, the toys, the punishments I learned to dole out; they were all good for scene play. But I learned more about myself, more about trust and being trusted…which is also why Tuesdays with Mallory meant so much. ~

Bitten by Romance, Smitten with Confessions and IWSG

It's the first Wednesday of the month. Many of you know what that means. Some of you are looking like, "Whaaaa???" Well, to catch you up, the first Wednesday of every month is Insecure Writer's Support Group day. We share, vent, converse on the feelings - good and not so good - about being a writer. Click here for the deets and for more blogs to visit, comment and share in the IWSG-love.

Today, I'm going a bit more positive. Writing as me, under my name of Angela Brown, has been a dream come true. It's that first level of "Success" I like to acknowledge. Now if I can just get my sales to match my fantasies, that would be AWESOME! But I digress lol!

Writing and publishing this year as Rayven Godchild has also been a thrill. And today, Rayven is over at Bitten by Romance sharing about things, you know, Rayven-like. Please stop by to say "Howdy!"

I'm also getting uber-excited with the countdown drawing close on the next Confession being released. This Friday, RETREAT BOUND, part III of the Confessions of a Sex Fiend series, will be available at Smashwords and Amazon. Woot!

So yeah, I'm not in the place of Nirvana or even heaven. I'm earth-bound in my reality. But as an author, publishing things I'd love to read, I have to admit I'm in a happy place.

Whether joyful or otherwise, how are things going with your writing journey at this time?
