✨Blurb✨ A plague. A prophecy. A centuries-long curse. All her life, Princess Adalina heard tales of the legendary, immortal warriors known as the Nihryst. Cursed and bound to a deck of tarot cards by her ancestors, the Nihryst were stranded on a remote island nearly a century and a half earlier.
Her brother, Prince Shane, is destined to rule the kingdom of Detmarya. Though preparing for this role has encompassed his entire life, control of the kingdom may come sooner than expected due to their father’s sporadic behavior.
Discovering the king’s plan to set a war in motion with a mass assassination, Ada unwittingly joins a crew of pirates in search of the only beings powerful enough to stop him: the Nihryst. Meanwhile, Shane and a group of underground rebels make a haunting discovery of a plague infecting the streets of Detmarya.
With a looming deadline to save multiple kingdoms…
Lyrics – When you’re all fucked up from a little bad luck and Somehow your mind will start to go away Fucked up from life’s dark touch and You curl up and hope that it’ll go away
I fall, you fall Let’s have a ball Drag you below Cuz we’re all goners anyway Just take my hand No time to waste I’m off the case My mind is on a holiday I’ll check back in another day Hey
Cuz I’m losing my, losing my, losing my soul Losing my, losing my mind is first to go Losing my, losing my, losing my soul Losing my, losing my sanity is gone
I’m losing my, losing my, losing my soul My sanity is gone
Cuz when I fly, Houston we got a problem When I drop, I don’t know why I’m even here It’s fucked up, cuz sometimes it’s fun And I think that you need to lighten up a bit
On my call, we jump Then we’ll collide Drag you below Cuz we’re all goners anyway Just take my hand No time to waste I’m off the case My mind is on a holiday I’ll check back in another day Hey
Cuz I’m losing my, losing my, losing my soul Losing my, losing my mind is first to go Losing my, losing my, losing my soul Losing my, losing my sanity is gone
I’m losing my, losing my, losing my soul My sanity is…
What you want from me I’m insane today It’s not going away Live my life today Roll the dice and say I wouldn’t have it any other way
My 2cents – well I am far from the most music savvy person in my house. That honestly belongs to my kiddo. She came to me last week all excited… “Mommy, Unlike Pluto has a new one!” So we listened. Honestly it is a good song. It has a good beat and feel to it.
Ok… There’s a saying… Something like everything old is new again. So I have been told on a few occasions that my ideas for stories were already done.
My response is always yes but it was not done by me. Original content doesn’t always have to be new ideas, some times it is a new look at an old idea.
Now, be aware, I am by no means suggesting plagurism… Write the story in your own words. Your voice is what will make it original.
The banana in the picture above is original… It’s different. But it is still a banana. Serena rewrote the story of Peter Pan. She put a horror twist on the story… Her novella The Death of Neverland is nothing like the original Peter Pan. It is a dark exploration of the worst of humanity. Did it start with an old idea? Yes, it certainly did. We pull from the fount of our experience… We create from what we know. The stories from our childhood reflect in the stories we tell. No two humans have the exact same well to draw from.
Fan fiction is an often disputed art form. The first idea was put into the world as accepted cannon… But then a fan saw the way to take it in a new direction. I personally have read some amazing stories on fan fiction boards. Does that invalidate the story? No, far from it. It merely means that the author found inspiration in something that someone else wrote.
Don’t let the ones who are contrary about your inspiration dissuade you from writing. The story you want to write is original… After all, you have not written it yet.
I realize how much this year I have bowed out due to illness… And I am so sorry. Between my own sinus ick, and worrying about my girl Cyndi having pneumonia, and just general life stuff… I am worn out.
On an up note… I have 3 books less to fight with as they are out. I am working on entries for an anthology that I have been accepted for… I have one more book that I am working with for layout. I have an audiobook that I am trying to record by the weekend (game weekend for me so I have to be ready to run my guys through adventures as well).
We, in my house, are still in the process of doing some remodel. So I am definitely dealing with chaos here. So even though this is not a normal tea party… It is still an update. Just as chaotic as my life currently.
I submitted to Indie Blu Publishing’s call for submissions for their anthology for the chronically ill.(not the name but y’all know what I mean.)
The anthology that I referred to earlier is one that is being put out by coffee house writers. I will be sharing more information as I know more.
Faery Footprints and Dylan and the Pet Zombie and Beauty’s Tears are all available to purchase. The deadline for Through the Sunshine is coming up quickly (January 31). I am working on a surprise anthology for Fae Corps… More details as I get it done.
This year is already shaping up to be a busy one. I know that I usually do a link post on the first Saturday but I was releasing those and I wanted to wait for their links. So I will be doing that post this Saturday. Definitely keep an eye here because I have quite a few projects in the works.
I do hope that this finds all of you well, the sick has been getting around lately. I am probably not going to be posting tomorrow as I am worn thin. Please forgive me this. And I thank you for reading and supporting me throughout all of my journey.
So I actually published this a few days ago. The paperback edition is still not available… I’ll be fussing about that shortly. But the link for the ebook version is here. So I figured that I would let you have that until I can get the paperback live for you.
Lyrics – There’s a war inside my head Sometimes I wish that I was dead, I’m broken So I call this therapist And she said, “Girl, you can’t be fixed, just take this.” I’m tired of trying to be normal I’m always over-thinking I’m driving myself crazy So what if I’m fucking crazy? And I don’t need your quick fix I don’t want your prescriptions Just ’cause you say I’m crazy So what if I’m fucking crazy? Yeah, I’m gonna show you Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath, Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’m gonna show you, Yeah, I’m gonna show you Mental out my brain, bad shit go insane, Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’m gonna show you Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’ve been searching city streets Trying to find the missing piece like you said And I say child don’t need to find There’s not a single thing that’s wrong with my mind Yeah, I’m tired of tryna be normal I’m always over-thinking Driving myself crazy So what if I’m fucking crazy? And I don’t need your quick fix I don’t want your prescriptions Just ’cause you say I’m crazy So what if I’m fucking crazy? I’m gonna show you Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath, Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’m gonna show you, Yeah, I’m gonna show you Mental out my brain, bad shit go insane, Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’m gonna show you (I’m gonna show you) Crazy, crazy, yeah I’m gonna show you Crazy, crazy, yeah I’m gonna show you Crazy, crazy Tired of tryna be normal I’m driving myself crazy And I don’t need your quick fix I don’t want your prescriptions Just ’cause you say I’m crazy So what if I’m fucking crazy?! Yeah, I’m gonna show you Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath, Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’m gonna show you, Yeah, I’m gonna show you Mental out my brain, bad shit go insane, Yeah, I’m gonna show you I’m gonna show you Yeah, I’m gonna show you
My 2 cents – I feel this song. So much. I have been fighting mental illness my whole life. I was misdiagnosed when I was younger, and the meds for the diagnosed disorder were not good for me. I ended up hallucinating, or lethargic. Added to the symptoms I already have… Well I was miserable. And I had a hard time getting doctors to hear me. So I often felt like I was crazy, and it was not a good thing. I think that we sometimes celebrate crazy with out helping it. It’s become cool to be out of your mind. Except for if you really are.
