Teaser Tuesday!

It's Teaser Tuesday and I just realized that I haven't shared some of my most recent teasers on here. So, I figured I would post them for you all to see as well as a little excerpt from Human Intervention.

EXCERPT

     A lump forms in my throat and my breathing picks up as I watch Dr. Warren usher Caleb and Brior back. I can tell Brior wants to say something, but instead he looks to me with a sad smile. Suddenly, his eyes go round and I am knocked to the ground. I get up quickly and avoid Drake as he comes at me again. Each and every time he would reach out for me I would dodge his efforts. This continues for what seems like forever. Then, Drakes demeanor changes and now I know he has just been toying with me, like a cat does with a mouse prior to eating it. But he’s done playing, it’s time for dinner.

      
     The evil that lays in his eyes as he stares me down is undeniable. I want to shake with fear but instead, I’m paralyzed. Just as he is close enough he rears back his arm and swings. I throw my hand up, knowing good and well I won’t be able to stop his force, only hoping to slow it down. I close my eyes and wait for the pain, but it doesn’t come. Slowly, I peel my eyes open to see that his fist is just in front of me, frozen in the air. Drake pulls back and tries again, but meets the same invisible force stopping him. He goes to pull back again and I bend my fingers as if I was holding it with little effort Drake goes flying across the grass.

*%@#ing Life, Man

So here it goes. I'm exhausted.

 

     There I said it, but I don't feel any better. I really do not know how the other author moms with full time jobs do it (Like for real, how?). Especially, the ones that are putting books out like every three months...I am baffled.

 

     I have a full time 9-6 job, 3 kiddos, and a LIFE! For the first two books I put out I literally spent every waking moment at home plugged into my computer. My husband got real upset with me and rightly so. I can't do it folks. I love writing and I will continue to put out books, but I will do it on my time. I want to see my children grow and have fun with them while they still want me around. I like cooking supper for my family and sitting around playing video games with my son and hubby. I can't live without spending time with my homies and having fun. I also enjoy sleep. A LOT.

 

     I feel like a loser. Maybe I should be striving harder for something that I love, but there isn't enough hours in the day to get everything done that I want. It has been over a year since I published my last book and I still have another month of work ahead of me. I plan on putting everything I have into having it out by the end of August, however, plans don't ever seem to go as I want them to.

 

     Try and not hate me. I am still writing, I'm not going anywhere. I promise!!! I am just slower than others I assume. I'm not ok with it by any means. I actually beat myself up pretty hard for not being able to pump out words as quickly as others.

 

     Either way, that is my RAWR of the week. Thanks for listening! Love ya!

Background Noise

Naughty in the South this weekend was a blast! Events are always so amazing to me, no matter the background noise. I get so thrilled when I meet new people whether they are readers, bloggers, or authors because they become new friends. The fact that I get to meet people from all over our country and world at these things rocks my world. I'm just a small town girl who hasn't traveled very far and it literally makes my day to meet these people!

 

Another of my favorite things about events is hanging out with people that I have met from previous signings. Some, I consider to be very close friends. The whole shabang is one ginormous load to my heart. Its the small things. Like a smile from someone just passing by your table, a thank you from a reader, all the way to the big things such as your husbands boyfriend trying to give you a lap dance, but dying from laughter instead. This is what everyone should be focused on. The good times, the things that make you smile and make you feel like every moment should be like that one.

 

Now to talk about the background noise that I mentioned earlier. I have been an author for going on two years now, and a majority of the time there has been on-going said 'background noise' (drama). I call it that because that is how I have treated it, ignore it and move on. I have never once commented on it because I for one do not want to be in it at all. However, I would like to say that it saddens me deeply to see that we as authors can be so truly...petty.

 

There were some issues with the event this weekend, I'm not saying there wasn't. I think the event needed more guidance than it received, but I also know there was a lot of issues that happened with the coordinator and the previous assistant. I understand that shit happens. The lunch issue sucked ass. <--- Just stating the obvious.

 

The way it all was handled though, the way everyone was treating each other when they had a problem, is what really got me though. Someone mentioned not feeling the Southern Hospitality this weekend, but you have to give to get. Please? Thank you? Do manners exist anymore? WHATS WITH ALL THE RUDENESS?? Jeez people. I seriously just wanted to drop my head every time I witnessed it this weekend. It's just ridiculous to be honest.

 

If you don't like what someone thinks about you, move on. If you reply back to them with more hate then it's just going to be a never ending god forsaken circle of NONSENSE! If you don't like me, it sucks. I don't like people hating on me, I love everyone (I'm a flower child's kid). But I don't like stressing over it. Talk about me, say I am weird and annoying, you know what I am going to do? I am going to vent to my hubby, brush my shoulders off, and move the fuck on.

 

Ok, I feel better. This went a little further than I wanted it to go. I was just wanting to state how sad it makes me to see us constantly bashing each other over nothing really. I don't go to many signing as it is, but with the way they keep turning out I may not go at all anymore. I have typed this up more times than once over the years, but always delete it because I have been scared of the repercussions. I know I will have people that won't like what I have said, and disagree, but that is ok... message me, comment and I will kill you with kindness damnit! ;)

 

Love you all, forget your hate, leave it at the door, please!

~ Synopsis ~
Some things in our lives we don?t put much thought into because we either think they don?t hold much importance, or maybe, we just don?t want to put in the effort to find out just how wrong our little worlds are.
My name is Sadie, and this is how I have survived all eighteen years of my life. I have ignored the things that I shouldn?t have, and didn?t ask the questions I should have. I am a Norm. Just an average Joe, living in a world obsessed with genetic enhancements.
He? He is everything. Gorgeous, smart, and a Norm as well. He is also my new science teacher. And when he came into our small little town... hell came with him.
