    A Very Busy Summer

    05/13/2012 /

    Summer is almost here!

    So more time can be devoted to my multicultural ebooks and covers. I created a teaser/mock up of a new teen heroine. She’s a Shieldmaiden in training and her ebook, like Razher’s will be out this summer:

     

    Valkyrie Jones, Shield Maiden of Earth and Asgaard

     

    If you haven’t seen The Avengers yet, I urge you to do so. It’s funny, fast paced and a comic book geek’s dream (like me and my family).

    A Semi-finalist on Amazon

    05/01/2012 /

    Well, this was a surprise. JUKEBOX is a semifinalist in this year’s Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.

    Last year HEAVEN was a quarterfinalist, so its nice to go one step further. However, I need to stick to the plan of getting out the finished novels, so I’m happy to say the Paranormal and Scifi books (with minority protags) should be out shortly.

    I’ve finished up editing JUKEBOX Vol 1, and plan on including excerpts of the other novels in the back of this ebook with a sneak peek at JUKEBOX Vol. 2.  I hope to gain a bit more publicity for the other novels while JUKEBOX is still in the running at Amazon (however, the final three will be announced on May 22nd, so that may be the end of my run in the competition, but I’m glad for the experience).

    Anyway, here’s a cover mock up of the slave falls for samurai upcoming ebook:

     

    Gaijin is not the final title, since the timeperiod of the book is earlier than the known use of the word. Also, I think I’d rather have the male without anything on his face and body so I need to do some airbrushing.

    First Read: JUKEBOX

    03/06/2012 /

    There’s a five chapter excerpt up on Amazon.com for JUKEBOX. This is a three series novel, and the first book will go on sale this Friday, March 9th. Scratch that. TBA looks more realistic.

     

    I’ve updated this post because the full novel has been released (June 5th). The image below is of the excerpt as I studied up on creating an ebook. That’s why its called First Read: JUKEBOX Excerpt:

    This has been quite a learning process (writing, editing and then researching how to properly format an E book).

    I’m working on editing the other novels for release this month, two paranormal romances and another historical, this time about a family of entertainers titled The Queen of Comedy.

    We’re up! But not really. . .

    03/01/2012 /

    I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t push that Kindle Publish button because of a few formatting errors. They bothered me so badly that I plan to get to them this weekend (my job is super busy at this time so I can’t focus solely on writing).

    So please have a bit more patience, because putting out an inferior product just won’t do. JUKEBOX is the first novel of a three book series following these characters.  I hope to have the first book available for purchase this weekend.

    UPDATE: Chapter excerpts and the ebook are now available on Amazon: JUKEBOX Volume One

    Something for Teens – Introducing Razher

    12/03/2011 /

    Of course I went to see Breaking Dawn. And since most of the females in my family love paranormal romance, trying to find one where there’s diversity in the cast of characters can be frustrating. So here’s the latest member of our ebook family: A new heroine called RAZHER, based on a webcomic:

     

    Razher, the teen she-wolf

     

    Andre Santana, African American/Hispanic Teen werewolf
    Werewolf

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Gargoyle

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    We hope to have an excerpt up shortly!
