Six Sentence Sunday o9.16.12

Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday!

I had the honor of seeing one of my favorite bands this week, Blaqk Audio, something I have been looking forward to since they released their tour dates. it was just too perfect that I was moving to the Bay Area and they were playing their hometown the same day their new record, Bright Black Heaven, came out. It was such a great concert and I was so close. Davey Havok is absolutely beautiful! I love him so much! Seeing them live just inspired me creatively even more and motivate me even more. So, thanks guys!

She looked just above him as he spoke. He grabbed onto her chin and forced her to look into his eyes, his eyes changing over to red in front of her. He bit down on her hand, fast and hard; the sound of her skin, muscle, and bone crunched loudly. She yelled out and tried to pull away, but he was still holding her by her chin. He sipped on her blood feeling the tiniest bit of excitement rise in her between the pain.
Armani released her hand, still looking her in the eyes, "You will come with me."

Past posts of Armani can be found here and here. He's an interesting one ;)
See you next week! Until then I will dream and further be inspired by Davey Havok heart, heart, heart!
(Picture a cartoon character with hearts all around her, that's me right now ;) He's so dreamy!)

Six Sentence Sunday o9.o9.12

Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! This week is another snippet from a side story from my WIP novel BloodLust. I may use this side story as a dream within my novel or change my female character and make it a spin off novella or something. 
Where we last left off, Karlea was introduced to Armani and avoiding eye contact, knowing the danger it can impose. 

He took hold of her hand, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb, erasing her club stamp.
“I am Armani.” Armani kissed her hand. “I will make your night.” He grinned, “It will be a real screamfest. I will make you feel the best you have ever felt.”

Can anyone guess whom I am picturing for Armani? Check out the hints from last week.

Six Sentence Sunday o9.o2.12

Welcome to another six! I can't believe its September already and that I have been in the Bay Area for over three weeks now! I still cannot wrap my brain around the fact that I live here, its unreal. I have to say that the view driving on the MacArthur Freeway is absolutely magnificent! The sight of the bay on one side and mountains on the other, with palm trees and sun, its just amazing.

So, this week's snippet is from a side story of my WIP novel. I just took off writing it and not really sure how its going to fit into my novel, if at all, but I do want to do something with it. Karlea is sitting at the vampire club when she gets a taste of Armani :)

"Your exquisite beauty has captured the attention of this entire club."

Karlea jumped at the sound of his voice and he grinned at her humanness; that he moved so fast that she never saw him come over to her and kneel before her. 
She noticed him kneeling in front of her, holding a red rose out to her. He gestured for her to take it and she did, saying thank you quietly and trying to avoid his eyes at all costs. 
Karlea noticed that he was handsome: tall, thin, deathly pale, dark eyes that were accented more by dark eyeliner, black hair that was short on the sides and longer down the middle, longer strands falling down to the sides of his face; and dressed in an expensive, shiny black gothic suit. Maybe he was her type, but she wasn't interested.

I think Armani may try to change her mind. When I wrote this and described Armani, I realized I totally described someone in particular without meaning to and he has been my face of Armani ever since. I want to post a pic, but I want to see if anyone can guess it over the next few weeks. Whoever does get it right, will get a free copy of my book when I am done with it. First hint, or two: He is a musician and lives (or used to) in the Bay Area (he may now live in Los Angeles for all I know).

Six Sentence Sunday o8.26.12

This is my first blog post from my new home in the East Bay! So far, I love California! I sit here on the floor in an empty living room writing this as our belongings have not arrived yet! We've been living here for two weeks now with only what we could take on an airplane and what we could mail to ourselves. I'm kinda used to it by now, so its going to be strange to have most of our stuff (some didn't fit into our POD and is in storage in Atlanta! Some of it I need right away too as we didn't get to decide what went where). Our house is much smaller and I don't know where anything is going to go. We just got our car delivered from Atlanta yesterday.

I think when we last left off, Karlea figured out that she was in a vampire club, Vaughn had his arm wrapped around her, holding her to him.

Vaughn whispered in her ear, “I’m the only thing that gets you out that door alive. You’re safe with me. This stamp protects you.” He said, pointing to her glowing th stamp: taken human. “They won’t let you out without me by your side, and no one else can touch you.It doesn't mean they won't try, but I can assure you I can take them all if I had to, I am much older and stronger than any of them combined."

That's it for this week. Hopefully next week, my house will be all set up and I can focus on my writing. I really want to introduce this new character that came into the picture and that I started writing a side story about. I'm trying to work out exactly how this will fit into my novel. And, yes, I totally have someone in mind for this new character, maybe we will play a game to see if anyone can guess it :)

Thanks for reading and please comment! Have a great week!

Six Sentence Sunday 07.29.12

Welcome to another week of Six Sentence Sunday!

I have missed a few weeks and probably will miss more over the next month. It is official: I am moving to California, San Francisco to be exact! I move in less than two weeks! My moving POD was delivered on Friday and much smaller than the Upack truck we used to get to Atlanta, so much stuff will be left behind. The job came together in the last week and a half, and as of yesterday we have an apartment! I am so excited!!!

Onto other things (more on SF below), in this week's snippet we continue on where we left off; Vaughn is stuck in his fantasy of bringing Karlea to a vampire club. They are at the point where Karlea is realizing just exactly where she is...

“What is this place?” She asked.

“A members only vampire club.” Vaughn smiled. He noticed her heartbeat began to beat a little faster. She eyed the door.
“You’re a vampire.” She said, as if she was trying to get it to sink in.Vaughn put his arm around her shoulders, holding her to him.

Thanks for reading! Please comment, I always comment back :)

Back to SF...I still have my whole entire house to pack besides countless things to take care of in Atlanta. We still have to make arrangements to get our car shipped to our new home because we decided to fly there instead of drive. The drive to Atlanta was a nice vacation, but I don't think California will be the same, although I would love to see the scenery. I have seen enough horror movies to know I don't want to break down in the middle of nowhere between Texas and Arizona.

Note to Self: Change address with post office and put Netflix on hold!

The one problem I am having, is getting my son's pet hamster, named Hamsty to California. The airline will not let me bring him on board :( only cats and dogs. I do not know how to get him to California safely. If anyone one has any ideas or tips, please let me know. I would hate to tell my son that he can't bring him, he is apart of our family! And i don't want to do the whole find Hamsty a new home and buy my son a new one once we get there; his heart is with Hamsty.

Right now, my only option is to hire a pet relocation service, which is going to run 20 to 40 times the amount I paid for the little guy! (I plan on documenting Hamsty's moving experience for a short film :)). So, I am raising money to get Hamsty moved into his new home in California. If anyone can donate, my son and I would forever be appreciative! My son (and Hamsty) will send you a thank you card and if I do make my short film, I will certainly thank you in the credits!

Thank you! And please pass this along! And money made over the goal will be donated to an animal charity.

Thank you!

Six Sentence Sunday o7.o8.12

Welcome to another edition of Six Sentence Sunday!


This month is already flying by and I suppose I should be using my time (while my kids are sleeping) to find a new rental house, instead of posting to Six Sentence Sunday. But I'm not. The owner of the house just made it official that our lease is ending o7/31/12 while I was typing this!!!! If any readers live in San Francisco or Los Angeles, please leave me a comment on where good areas are to live in with decent public schools - i cannot afford private school at this time. Much <3, thanks!


Anyway, back to the story. We pick up where we left off last week. After a much wanted kiss from Vaughn, Karlea is beginning to realize what type of nightclub she is actually in and what Vaughn really is.

"You really need to look around," Vaughn instructed, looking into her eyes after he pulled away from kissing her.

Karlea did as she was told; the smile she had from Vaughn's kiss fading. She noticed the red eyes on some, the black eyes on others, and the normal eyes of humans; their th stamps glowing. Some humans had no stamp on them and they wandered the club with eyes and fangs watching them. Some even eyed Karlea. She noticed the couple on the sofa near them, the woman locked on the man’s neck, blood dripping down.

And that is six! I would love to keep going, but then I will be cut from the list. More next week!

Thanks for taking the time to read. Please comment, I love getting comments and I always return the favor :)

Six Sentence Sunday o7.o1.12

I can't believe its July already! I'm supposed to be moving to california in 31 days?! And I'm totally broke. 
Anyway, let's continue on from last week.

Karlea returned the kiss, she smiled after they broke apart. Vaughn caressed her cheek.
“You need to see.” He said, “Look around.”
Karlea did as she was told. She began to see, really see, with nonhuman eyes.
