Indie Book Fest 2014

I went to IBF 2014 and I had so much fun! I am just now recovering from not being an introvert for those few days. I was on two amazing panels with talented authors. I remember thinking "What am I doing up here with these real authors?" lol it was hard to believe that these talented women and men were my peers. Talk about humbling!

Now time for pictures!

I fan girled over Sarra Cannon

I won some books from Elise Marion!

 I bought some books from Elise Marion...

I stopped by and chatted with Wendy L Owens instead of staying by my table :)

 I begged for an ARC from Peggy Martinez (not too proud to beg lol)

I saw Cynthia O'Neill and had to go chat it up with her and buy her reincarnation series.

 I have a lot more books that I bought at the signing or won during a panel I will probably review them over at The Litter Box...Scoop Daily! as I finish them. :)

One of the hardest post

It has been over a week since I lost my good friend, my mentor, and my editor. I thought in that time I would wake up and not have to write this. Monique's death has left me reeling. I can't even begin to focus on what this means for a few of my books because at this point, I just don't care. I know I should care about the fate of Dain, Bonnie, Akila, and Marco but I don't. 

Monique believed in me and she loved these character. I know she'd want me to keep writing but right now I just can't even sit down and begin to join their world again. I know some day I will be able to do it. Right now...right now, I just can't.

I am trying to pretend that I am okay but this is so crazy. SO CRAZY. One of the last things she said to me via fb messenger was "I'll be fine." How can she not be? How can she be gone?

I know that mourning takes awhile and I know I will be writing, the series that we worked on together, again. I just wanted yall to know that it is too hard right now so please excuse the delays. I promise I will be back!
