Sneak Peek

Hello Lovelies,



So, for those of you that are interested in reading my little harlequin-esque teen romance novel, Decision, you can now purchase it on Lulu, in either paperback or e-book format, by clicking here, or you can wait just a little longer and it will be available on iTunes and Barnes and Noble as an e-book, so take your pick!  But, that's not the sneak peek...the sneak peek is that there are two, count them, two, playlists for you to be able to listen to and get a backstage pass and sneak peek into the lives of the characters as I see them!  So, if you're reading Decision, or maybe already finished it, check out the link here, and take a listen to immerse even further into their world.  And, once you finish Decision, and you just can't wait to read Return(it's coming guys, it's almost there, I'm probably 3/4 done!), click on this link, and you'll be able to get over to get an inside look at what to expect for book two!  I'm excited, I hope you're excited, and if you don't know what Decision and Return are, well, you, my friend, are missing out!  But, check out the first link there, to take you over to Lulu and get an idea of what's going on!  So, yeah, that's all for now, but I hope you guys like the music!  I hope it adds an extra dimension to the books for you and you enjoy it!

Staying Calm

Hello Lovelies,



Sorry for the lack of postings lately, I know that that seems to be a common apology lately, and I am trying to be better about that.  But, the good news is that I'm here now!  So, how is everyone this lovely evening?  I hope that you've had a good day, and if you haven't, please allow this to be a bright point of your day.  Today has been a bit of a weird day for me.  I've had my points where I am feeling great and happy, as well as the points where I am feeling angry, sad, and disappointed.  But, I am feeling pretty happy about now and I'd like to inspire any of you that may be feeling slightly angry, sad, or disappointed to know you can turn your day around.

In Case You Haven't Heard...

Hello Lovelies ,

I hope you're all having a good Tuesday, I can't believe it's Tuesday already! But I just wanted to say, in case you haven't heard, drum roll please....I am a published (granted that's self-published, but still) author!  My novel, Decision is officially for sale!  That's right, head on over to the Lulu landing page to pick up your copy today!  I'm about half-way through Return, the second book, so if you like Decision, there is a book two on its way!  I've left the introductory chapter to Return on my other blog, Rawles Writings, so that once you finish Decision, you can have a taste of what book two, Return, will offer.  But for now, I'll leave you with a bit of chapter one from Decision; just to whet your appetite and show you what you're missing by not having this book in your life.

Try Something New

Hello Lovelies,



Happy Friday!  I have kind of a quirky post today, I'd like to talk about hobbies.  I know you're probably like, "wait what?  Hobbies?"  Yes, hobbies.  So, as you all know, I've moved recently.  And with moving comes finding new things to do, new places to go, new things to see!  It's all very exciting, and yet slightly boring.  You see, when you're new, there's so much potential, but you're probably a little shy, and you don't yet know where to go and what to do and what to see.  So it can almost seem like you should just be a shut in all day.  But, I am here to say that I have reached the point that I don't want to be a shut in!  My lovely husband, Jordan, and I have been talking, and we think we can see ourselves settling down here in the state of Washington.  I love the water and the forests and he loves the water and the fact that Seattle is in our backyard.  So, we've been talking about it and I brought up that we should start having some hobbies, because hobbies are what makes you new friends, gets you and about, just makes you excited about life!  He's all on board and totally gung-ho, so we're going to try some new hobbies as well as get back to our old hobbies.

Find Your Truth

Hello Lovelies,



I wanted to do a quick check in, say hi, prove to you that I will be better about posting again(post-moving to our new house), and hopefully still be inspiring and uplifting!  So, I wanted to talk about quotes today.  I have a love affair with quotes.  Like seriously, I wonder sometimes how many of my thoughts are actually my thoughts, and how many are quotes and thoughts of other people stitched together to make my "thought".  I think everyone is full of bits and pieces of quotes, song lyrics, idioms, etc, of other people.  It's only natural.  They, and by "they" I mean the big wigs of the scientific community, say we become like the three or five people we spend most of our time with, so there must be some truth being quotes and saying and song lyrics stitched together.

Sunshine and Joy

Hello Lovelies,

I don't know about where you are, but here in my little corner of the world, it is finally sunny! After days upon days of gloom and full on rain, we finally have sun!  And, the real reason for my excitement, is because my baby boy, who had been lost for weeks (see my last post for my allusion to his getting out), has been given back to us!
