Totem Rising to Release July 20, 2020 and short stories on Watt Pad

Hi wonderful readers!

          I hope all is well in this very difficult time. I first would like to say thank you to all the people who read my books for their continued support. I am excited to inform everyone Totem Rising will be available for purchase on July 20, 2020 ( I really liked that date).

    As an added thank you, I am releasing short stories on Watt Pad that will be based on some of the characters from the books. I will update them and add to them as much as I can mid-move and mid-Pandemic. They will be FREE and I hope these small, ten-minute reads will give everyone a break from the crazy. Below is the link.

                        Happy Reading!

First two books in the Totem Series revisions and amazon updates

Greetings world! As you can see by the lack of posts, it is very apparent that I have been missing from the blogging world and in fact the internet world. Life kind of got away from me and I have been raising two kids and just living.

As with a lot of people's worlds, the pandemic has caused me to "slow my roll" so to speak. With this came the opportunity (and also the social acceptability) for me to hibernate at home from the rest of the world! I decided to revisit something I love so much which is my writing!

On top of my list was doing some much-needed revisions to my first two books. Then reposting them to amazon. Since the last time I posted, amazon has merged kdp and creatspace to make it more user friendly. While my books did transfer over (which I am super thankful for), they needed some updating. 

So without further ado, I announce that my first two books have been revised and updated. They are available for purchase on Amazon!

NOT ENOUGH? YOU WANT MORE? Well, you will have to check back on my blog for more! I have some exciting news about JULY!

150 copies of Totem sold!!!

          To be perfectly honest with everyone, the 72 hour free sale doubled my numbers of books purchased. I am completely okay with this!

          Reason being is that Totem is a labor of love. It is a story that I believe in and think it is worth telling. Most of the time, with art (if I dare say my book is), we do not see the results in money rather in fulfillment.

          I love writing. I love the characters created and mimicked. I love being able to spin the fantasy in my mind onto paper. Then share that story with everyone. That is why I am beyond excited that Totem has hit 150 copies.

       Thank you to everyone who supported me and purchased Totem! If you like Totem, check out Fleur de Lis. It picks up right where Totem left off.

Lots of Love,

EM

Fleur de Lis Update:

     Fleur de Lis is NOW available on amazon for hardcopy and preorders for e-books! The official release date is September 4th!

    I will also be doing a 72-hour free sale of TOTEM, the first book in the series, over Labor Day weekend!!! Look to pick up your copies of both Totem and Fleur de Lis next week. That is TWO books for the price of one (or one book for free... yes, FREE)!

  Lots of Love,

A side note about Tim Curry

     Can I make a confession to the few bloggers who read my blog as well as take a side note from promoting my writing? I (for reasons unknown to me) LOVE Tim Curry! I mean, who could not love a guy who pulls off heels better than half the women in the world. Not only that, he is an actor that exudes confidence on and off the stage. This confidence can be fully seen as he accepts the Actors Fund of American Artistic Achievement Award. Even in a wheelchair, you see the spark in his eyes and the strength in his subtle manner.
     I think I will forever have a school girl crush on this man and I just want to take a second to admire this beautiful human being. He places a distinct stamp on all his work no matter how large or small the role. I can not help but to love him.
     Thank you Tim Curry for making my day by kicking over footstools in the Three Musketeers and dressing in drag in Rocky Horror Picture Show. It always brings a smile to my face. That is all for this random blog.
