Next Stop... Sociopath Street.

I'm never short on ideas when it comes to writing. It honestly feels like I think up something new everyday. I had the image of a young woman watching her boyfriend enter a house and when he came out of the house, he was covered in blood. What if you knew your beloved was a serial killer? What if you were torn between your head and your heart? You know that you should tell someone because what he's doing is so wrong. But the way you feel about him in your heart is so right. Except for that one minor little setback well, maybe a major set back. That's what I'll explore while writing my next novel. So what matters more to you? The matters of the mind or the matter of the heart?

Pick A Book, Any Book.

I normally suggest different books to my followers that I have read or am currently reading. But due to the hectic nature of my schedule, I haven't really caught up on my reading. I'm not quite certain if every writer loves to read, but I know I do. I can get completely swept up in a great novel. Before I know it, it takes over my life. And ten days later, I'm still sitting on my couch more engulfed in the world the author of the book had created. So, I thought I'd take some time and compile a list of my top five favorite reads.

1. The Forbidden Fruit- This novel will tug at your heart strings as it tells the story of Peter Abelard and Heloise a student and her teacher who had a torrid affair in 12th century France.

2. Shutter Island- If you want suspense, mystery, and surprises around every corner, this book will give you that. Dennis Lehane definitely delivers!

3. The Seducer's Diary- I could actually feel the passion coming from Soren Kierkegaard's masterpiece as he laid his heart out on the table describing the way he felt about Cordelia.

4. Dead Until Dark- This wouldn't be a top reading list without a little Sookie Stackhouse, right?

5. Little Women- In Louisa May Alcott's debut novel, you have everything, love, heartbreak, and tragedy.

If you haven't read these already, you should definitely pick them up!

Monster In Law

"Don't worry my love, everything will be fine." " I hope you're right." Jared whispered softly. "I am right." I said, doing my best reassure him. Even though I wasn't certain that everything would be alright, I did my best to lie my way through it. There two things that I knew for sure: One, Jared's mother was coming for a visit. And two, some crazed, revenge hungry vampire wanted me dead. And at that moment, when it all sank in, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to handle either situation.

Excerpt from a A Sucker For Love( The sequel to Love Sucks.)

A Sucker For Love..

I started writing the highly anticipated sequel for Love Sucks. The title is: A Sucker For Love. In this novel, we will explore the life of Cara Jones as she tries to be domesticated. What's that? A domesticated vampire? Yeah, this should be interesting. But not only is this novel about being a normal married vampire. It's about handleing family, resurrecting old friendships, epic battles, and being noneother, than a member of the undead vampire community.

A Vampire's Tale.

With the Love Sucks released date coming up in the next week. I thought it would be a good idea to leave you a short poem over the weekend that's got some bite to it!

Awaken to darkness, on this place we call earth.
One vampires bite brings another one's birth.
A vampire wakes with blood thirsty needs.
On the warm, rich, sensation he feels when he feeds.
He stalks in the night like a disasterous beast.
And what once was alive will soon be deceased.
So when the last bit of sunlight diappears from the sky.
You better watch out unless you want to die. ~ Victoria Boatwright~

Respect... Find Out What It Means To Me...

In the writing world, you meet a different variety of people. I cannot stress enough how important it is to treat others, how you would want to be treated. Along your journey down Literary Avenue you'll meet kind people, mean people, people who doubt you, and people who could just plain care less about what you have to say. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to lash out, how many times I wanted to tell those people exactly how I felt, but I never did. Is it because I'm a door mat? Is it because I let people walk all over me? NO! It's because I was taught to respect each and every individual I come across, no matter how they treat me. I'll tell you a story. When I was about five, there was this little girl in my kindergarden class. I was always a pretty likeable kid. I was kind, I included people, and rarely ever made fun of others. What did I do with this little girl? I included her, I played with her, I made her feel like she was a part of something. Now, here's where this all comes together. You never imagine what kind of impact you are going to make on someone's life. It's all in the way you act. And come to find out that years later, this little girl wrote a paper about me. And that paper won an award. You see you never know who you are going to come across in life. And it's important to respect each and every individual you meet. Who knows you could be talking to the next Steven Spielberg.
