Alright, So for a while- like, forever, Ive always written for the ages between 16-22. Basically upper young adult. Eventually, the slightly older than that became New Adult. So, Power and the Descendant Trilogy is probably more accurately NA books. Though when I started writing it, and as I continued writing it, I thought it was just older YA. Now, my Empyrean Chronicles is definitely YA. Earlier this year, my daughter's biological father was in a car crash and died. She wasn't close to him, as he wasn't the best of guys, or a dad really at all. (In and out of jail her whole life. And he'd been in jail for like 4 years or something already. Had only been out for a few months when he died- and she hadn't seen him) But despite that... she remembered those two year when he was in her life. And she understands (she's 10 years old) what it means that he died. That she'll never really know him, never have a relationship with him. While she has my hus...

Title: Oblivion (Lux 1-3 in Daemon's POV) Author: Jennifer L Armentrout Summary: Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black… I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are. But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game. Falling for Katy—a h...

Here's my Nano2015 update Total word count: 68, 859 This is the first draft of Enthralling Retribution (Empyrean Chronicles 3) So... YAY!!! It's strange though, because while I was writing this book, I totally thought it would end up being the longest book I'd written.  And, while it's not the shortest Ive written, it is the shortest of the empyrean Chronicles so far. Unlike other authors, who write a lot, and then trim the fat. I write in only the skeleton first, and then add the meat. So, this book will still probably end up at 76,000-80,000 words.  Anyhow.  There you have it.  I've got it up for preorder now on Amazon .  Ill revise and edit it probably 3 times, then to the betas, then editing.  Then YOU get to read it. :) See you next year my favorite NaNoWriMos!!!!!

November 24:  Books Are Love "... the action in the book is one of danger and gives more insight into the world that Alec and Lily are in. It brings you further into the book and has you hoping that Lily and Alec make it through and come out together. A intriguing fascinating book on finding out you aren’t who you seem,, coming to terms with it, going after those who shattered your world only to find a more complex and dangerous situation that leads to finding a purpose for two people who are attracted to each other and have you rooting they come together...." November 24:  Yellow, Green, and Read All Over "... Overall, the characters in  Enchanted Revenge  were well-written and as well-drawn as the world in which they lived.  What struck me most about them, though, were ...

So... my word count at the half way mark is... 21,665! Not quite the 25,000 that Im supposed to be at, but getting there.  I wrote 3500+ words today, which is phenomenal for a Sunday (the only day my husband is off.) Also, this weekend was a big and busy one for us. My daughter turned 10!!! TEN! No more single digits!  So we had a huge sleepover, which rolled into Saturday. The party and sleepover went pretty bad, and the kids had to leave early. My daughter ended up crying the rest of the day. (PS. Girls and kids can be so mean sometime! Ugh.) Anyways, so we spent a large majority of the weekend trying to make it better for her.  So, the fact that i wrote at all is kind of a miracle.  ALSO- my 4 year old was sick, throwing up, and miserable.  On the bright side, ONE More week until the Thanksgiving Holiday (And a one week vacation, thanks to working for the school district!) I plan on getting to at least 30,000 by the end ...

Alright... For the first week of Nano, I ended up with just over 10k words. (10,765) Definitely not as many as I'd liked. And Im falling behind a lot. BUT im still gonna push forward and try to bang out another 40k by the end. I work for a school, so Ill get a week off for Thanksgiving. Im kinda counting on that time. And maybe its allowing me to slack, knowing that Ill have that week. BUT I still think I can do it!

Alrighty. I jumped on the bandwagon. Yes, I realize how very late I am to this game... But better late than never, right? Come friend me on IG https://instagram.com/mrstheresamjones/ AND- I still have my GIVEAWAY going. a Rafflecopter giveaway

So... about two weeks ago, my husband told me that he'd be getting something in the mail and to NOT OPEN IT. Because it would be one of my Christmas presents. Alright. No problem. Yesterday, we got that package. Just a brown envelope with a To: and From: and thats about it. Chris (the husband) gets home and says, "Just open it babe. I know you know what it is." He was upset, face turning pink, short with his words. and grumpy. Kinda like: (But not really, because he doesnt really get mad. Ever.) Surprised, I told him I honestly had no idea what it was. How could I? I mean, you could feel something through the bag. But he was adamant that I already knew what it was. The From name looked kinda like the last name was Purse, So I went back to trying to figure out what was inside. (Afraid he mightve gotten me a purse. And though you dont know this, because you dont really know me, Ill tell you a secret. I dont like purses. I don...

Enchanted Revenge: When seventeen year old Lily finds her parents brutally murdered, leaving her broken and alone, she is determined to bring justice to the fairies responsible. Her quest leads her to infiltrate The Empyrean, the land of the Fae where terrifying creatures lurk in every shadow.

Her vengeful mission becomes compromised and her growing romance with Alec wavers. She must conquer her fear of the unknown, ignore her grief, and overcome her growing list of enemies if she is to succeed in avenging her parents’ death. Or ever make it out alive.

So the other day I spent almost 2 hours messing with the html crap. I Shouldve been writing. I always shouldve been writing. Just... every time I read an article about a successful indie author, they always have one thing in common. Big mailing lists. That seems super unimportant to me. Like, does anyone actually read emails that get sent out in mass quantities? I know I dont! But whatever, I guess its a thing. So I fixed the html on my blog, so that I could add a "Subscribe to my email list" thing. (Its on the top right!) My new goal will be to generate more email subscribers, I guess... Whatever. I mean, Im so not gonna do that right now though... Writing. Thats what I wanna do. Thats the whole point here, right? To write. So... Im about 1/4 of the way done with Enthralling Retribution (Empyrean Chronicles 3) Enticing Violence is out NOW Go buy it. HERE PS- go subscribe to my email list. LOL Just since I spent 2 hours working on it. S...

After years of hiding, they are miraculously rescued and taken to New Hope, a colony of survivors living in a former government research compound.
