If you are seeing this then you know I am not playing around. I am not holding back on voicing my opinion in the book world or anything else.  This is the post I made on Goodreads last night for those that missed it: We all have different book taste I get it but if you are constantly rating books 1-3 with very little reason, I will unfriend and unfollow you. That is really trolling Authors and uncalled for. If you don't like certain books don't read them. Yes, we can have opinions and ratings but dang, seriously?! I had to unfriend someone because it was making me uncomfortable to see such ratings and reasonings. As for why I made this post, simple answer. A 19 year old girl who I was friends with and following out of random, didn't know her at all had been reading Dork Diaries Series (one of my personal favorites). Anyways, I noticed she was giving it 1-3 stars for the first 4 books and I am like wait, that doesn't seem right. Yeah, Nikki is dramatic and everything she...

Most are probably mad as hell at me as of an hour or so ago if they have seen books disappear from Amazon, Wattpad, Inkitt, GetInkspired, and aJoara. Don't worry it isn't all of them. I am so sick of writing Series', following Tropes, and beyond of what I want to do. If a book is doing excellent then I keep it up and which I have for the most part.  Most new readers lately hate that my books aren't Novel length or they expect it to be. Or a book could be expanded for example: Summer Lovin' and A Coffee Shop Romance seems to piss readers off but eh, oh well, not like I don't have other content out there such as A Secret Love Affair, When They Kissed, and Holiday's With Her to name a few. I am also in an Anthology. My books are my own, they are my creativity from my own imagination. I don't do Fan Fiction, I don't like mimicking other Writers/Authors, I hate tropes with a passion, I love to read Series' but don't enjoy writing them. So, what am...

Last blog was an utter mess of my emotions on the frustrations of not writing and just swarming myself in books because my older computer not working.  Today is an important day for me, not only is it Independence Day in America but it is now been 8 years since I became an Author and released my first book Jana & Angel A Girl For Her Series: Volume 1. But, as it is my Authorversary and I should be celebrating, I am taking it on by writing.  I got an all new computer that works better than any other computer I've had besides my laptop. It is an All-In-One HP Desktop. It didn't take me long to piece together, the longest was getting everything reuploaded. I have switched browsers from Google Chrome to Opera. I am still suffering that concussion but my new medicine has helped clear off what was going down and I think it was built in frustration of not having a working computer and being stuck constantly reading for hours on end.  Now that I have gotten myself out of read...

Most know I am a bookworm. I love books. I have been reading since I was 5 or 6 years old. I have favorite books beyond the list imaginable.  I have a memory of my childhood that I want to share. My parents are both readers. My dad is a bookworm, we have always seen dad collect books or even read from Kindle or Tablets. No matter if we went to the Library, Bookstores at Howard's Flea Market, or even knew a friend that sold books, we were there. My favorite place growing up was Howard's Bookstore in the Flea Market. I enjoyed every chance I got to read Ann M. Martin's Babysitter's Club and earning points for each one I read. I wouldn't read much of anything else until I got older.  I don't remember which teacher it was or a memory of it but my dad does. It was either 4th or 5th Grade, so either Mrs. Cornellious or Mrs. Levengood though we had switch teachers for those grades too. Anyways, I had finished my class work and decided to grab out my books or least grab...

I am going to share two video's with you all that makes more sense to me. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRKukxVy / https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRKujVSX/ I honestly have never felt so much relief that they both see it the way I do even though I am lesbian and my soulmate is a man. Okay, so this one is gonna be a weird post with the coloring. But if you click the links it will make more sense of who you see me as a person in a Gay Man and Straight Woman view. I am not explaining myself any further.

Tomorrow is the last day for Students here in my County of where I live. My son Xia is going from 8th Grade to 9th Grade. Yes, I will officially have a High Schooler on my hands. What does that mean otherwise? Well, it means I can read and write in my free time also try to stay active too with my son and hubby. As for my imagination process it all depends, I know I have books that need to be released. Though as always I have no deadline it is just when I get finished.  What am I working on? Fame & Prayer Sacred Heart Series: Book 2, She's My Kind Of Country 2, Butterflies, A Steal of the Heart (Gay and Fantasy Romance), and The Kissel-Kestner Family Cookbook. Also many other side projects. I am not continuing any other Series' besides Sacred Heart since it is my newest addition, everything else is not going to be moved forward.  My writing style has changed so much since the beginning that I can't see myself continuing my older content. All I am doing is moving forward ...

 I know I said I was against using pen names and I probably never would but you know what I think it is time to introduce my newest pen name that I am hoping to introduce for this year... Say hello to Ivy Rosenwood!  What genres will I be writing? I have no idea but I need a break from my real name and to change it up.
