Harvesting Series got a New Look!

In early June I decided to hire someone to format the Harvesting Series to give it a fresh look, what do you guys think? 

I absolutely love it! I definitely feel like they're more professional that way, like I am too in a way and I love this feeling!! It feels amazing to see what I envision come to life! 

And the amazing woman who was able to do this, who I can't wait to work with again, is Jaycee at Sweet N' Spicy Designs! Her prices are affordable and she's truly easy to work with, very professional! It was such a good change after having to deal with someone not professional....  

Anyways, you guys should definitely check her out!  

It's amazing to see your work come to life!

Thank you so much Jaycee!

The Harvesters is now available on Kobo and it's FREE!

Happy Summer Everybody!

Hopefully the heat hasn't gotten to you just yet. I just wanted to share with everyone that The Harvesters is now available on Kobo! And the even greater part is that it's FREE!

So grab yourself a copy, get some ice tea, and get yourself a sun kissed tan while sitting by the pool with this read in your lap!

Hope you enjoy!

Grab it for FREE!

Writing Update: The Harvesters Second Edition is up and running!

So not that long ago I told you guys I was updating/editing The Harvesters, right? Well, guess what?! I finished editing it yesterday and pushed the publish button last night! It's now available for purchase! Though ignore the Look Inside part, for some reason that has yet to update *shrugs*. But I promise, the updated one is in there haha!

While I was rereading it over I was like, "I couldn't believe I was letting people read this!" It was so bad! The writing, not the story haha. I've grown so much in my writing since I've published this two years ago, it's quite breathtaking to me and I'm so proud of myself! Now you can enjoy the story instead of just seeing the potential of a story. You can see that I'm actually a pretty good writer....I hope, haha.

This is who I am, I've grown and I hope you enjoy it! If you read my story before I would love for you to check out the updated version! If you were apart of my Blog Tour, sometime this week I'll be sending you a copy!

I hope you guys can see how much I've grown and that my writing of now will make you a fan or a bigger fan! Because I have loads of upcoming publications on the way!

On a small road trip of dropping off a package for Jason’s father, the young couple never thought they would be running for their lives. Running away from supposedly friends whom in turn to be a family of harvesters.

Human harvesters and they're looking for something specific. And Ashley just might be the perfect match.



Stay tuned!

What's been going on in The Harvesters Blog Tour!

 

So if you're a returning visitor then you know the awesomesauce job I did to get this month long tour going with the help of amazing bloggers! 

 

If not, then long story short, I paid someone to put this together. It was originally schedule to start in August but then the hostess had to push it back cause she didn't have enough bloggers (yet I gave her 2 months to do that). But whatever, I get how life and other things can take us away from this world, so I was cool. Until the reschedule time came up and I haven't heard from her in a month. She fell of the face of the earth and me ripped off.

 

So, I Wonder Woman it and put together a month long tour in just 2 in a half days thanks to all the caring bloggers! If it wasn't for them then this would have never happened. I love them all dearly because of this! And I'm grateful that some of the bloggers that signed up for the first scheduled one came along the ride for this one! I'm so grateful and I just can't ever stop saying thank you! 

 

Putting together this blog tour was fun and empowering to say the least haha. So now that the new visitors know my story, let's see what's been going on in the tour so far. I'm having a blast, by the way!

 

I'm only showing up to Oct. 18 cause for Oct. 19-20, those host have yet to put up theirs. But don't worry they'll be up soon and they'll be in the other update.

 

Okay, enjoy! :)

Woohoo!

 

 

Yeah, I'm excited and so grateful!

 

 

My first personal thank you goes out to Diantha Jones for posting her rant about unprofessionalism. If it wasn't for that post I may have never had the courage to write my own and this blog tour may not have done as well or might not ever have happened. So, thank you girl for helping me out!

 

Next goes to Jaimie Admans for making such an awesome Blog Tour Banner! She was so generous and I'm so grateful that she took time out of her day to do it for me. Thank you so much, I truly love it!

 

Third thank you goes to Jovon @ Book2Buzz for constantly tweeting about the sign ups for my blog tour. And I mean constantly! haha. That means so much to me and it always put a smile on my face every time I got a notification about her tweeting. That was so sweet of you, thank you!  

 

Another on goes out to Kristin @ Better Read Than Dead for emailing me an apology even though you shouldn't have to apologize for Catie's wrong doings. But nonetheless, I truly appreciate it. So thank you for going out of your way to right all of Catie's wrongs and I really hope she doesn't hurt your name.

 

Then I want to thank the people I contacted and they all jumped at the gun, offering all the help they could offer. Even the ones that don't normally do blog tours, thank you E. Van Lowe. I felt like I was bothering all you guys yet you were there to help and I'm so grateful for you guys showing your support towards me. Thank you with a big bear hug!!

 

All 34 of you guys helped show me how truly great this community is and it just makes my heart beat a little bit faster. It shows me that I'm at the right place and that I feel like I truly belong. So thank you guys for making me feel this way. Also, thank you to all those that signed up for the blog tour in the first place and coming back to help out with this one. It all means a lot! :)

 

I love you guys and I'm sure by now you're all pretty tired of hearing this.....well, reading this but Thank You!!

 

Again thank you and thank you to all those that offered more than just wanting to sign, for going one step farther. If I need help I will most definitely go to you guys!

~Summary~

 

When she finds her boyfriend shackled to a white metal table Ashley feared for the worse.

On a small trip of dropping off a package for Jason’s father, the young couple never thought they would be running for their lives. Running away from supposedly friends whom in turned to be a family of harvesters.

Human harvesters and they are looking for something specific. And Ashley just might be the perfect match for that something.

 

 

~Excerpt~

 

 

Jason,

Thinking on my feet, I make a fake lead by opening up the basement door then I head into the kitchen. In the kitchen, I went straight for the stove. Looking over my shoulders, checking to see if the guy was coming, I twist the stove’s knobs to turn on the gas.

A pop and in moments blazes of fire come forth, showing all six burners were working. Smiling in satisfaction, I twist on my heels and scan the room for a weapon. Seeing nothing in plain sight, I start to go through drawers.

Finding a drawer full of knives, I pick up the biggest and closest to grab. Pulling it out, the long, rusty, square butcher knife felt good in my hand. Running a finger along the blade, I knew it would be sharp enough to cause damage.

Perceiving a truck leaving the grounds, afterwards a shotgun going off towards it, I slam the drawer close and look up. Waiting for the father to come in after me. Slowly, I walk along the kitchen island and look down the doorway, towards the front of the house.

The front door slammed open, revealing a muttering middle aged man. Holding the shotgun, barrel of two, he walks to the foyer table and pulls on the drawers forcefully. As he went through them, I ducked behind the wall of the stairwell.

Check out Tiffany's review here- "The Harvesters is the first in a new short story horror series. Even though it is less than 30 pages, don't let that fool you. This story packs a punch. Right away we are thrown into a very dangerous situation."

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
