What Are You Reading???

WHAT ARE YOU READING??

 

    

 

        Part of being a good author is research.  Research includes reading books within the genre you are writing.  My main genre I like to write is YA Urban Fantasy but I also like to write YA romance (with a twist).  With that, I have to read...Read...and READ some more!!! 

    

      I'm in the midst of reading a few series now.  Waiting on the next book to come out in the series.  (Yes, I know.  I need to be writing my next book in the Connections series.  I'm working on it :-)  )

 

        So, what are you reading right now?  Do you have a few books you are wanting to read but haven't got a round to it?  Love to hear what you would suggest.  Comment below the book or books you would suggest and why you think they are Books Worth Reading! 

Just a little something....

FREESTYLE FRIDAY!!!

FREESTYLE FRIDAY!

 

I know, I know.  It's been a long time since I have updated this blog, let alone do a Freestyle Friday. But believe me, my life has been pretty hectic the past few months.  Another story, another time.

 

But here we go...  Below is a picture to prompt mine and your imagination.  At first glance, it nudged my creative spirit.  Let's see what it does to your imagination.  You can continue with my story below or create one of your own.

 

 

 

    It was at that moment, I knew I was different.  From my friends and even my family.  I would know if any of them was keeping a secret this monumental.

 

    It started as a tingling in my fingertips turning into numbness.  I first thought it was the beginning of another anxiety attack.  I had those a lot, but the funny thing was, I never got anxious or nervous.  An even more curious attribute to the anxiety attacks was I had them when my joy and happiness were at their peaks.

 

    However, the tingle in my fingertips felt completely foreign, compared to the other times.  I closed my eyes, breathing in calm breaths which normally took care of the anxiety attacks.  No such luck, it only made it stronger.  It shot through my palms and up my arms.  The numbness turned to a fire.  Not the unpleasant kind.  More like the sort that you get when you are wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket that just came out of the dryer or sitting in front of a warm fireplace on a cold winters night.  Maybe even the kind that you feel when you first dip into a hot tub.

 

    As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw the lights.  Not just any ordinary lights, sparks swirled around my palms in every color imaginable.  I was mesmerized at the sight.  It lit up the darkness of the room I was sitting in.  Good thing I was alone.  How could I explain what was happening when I didn't even know myself?  Especially to...him!

 

 

 

OK peeps, here is where you come in.  Continue on with the story above or create one out of your own imagination.  Either way...HAVE FUN!!!

Still Looking (Listening) for Connections Playlist Songs...

Still Looking (Listening) for Connections Play List Songs

 

     I posted an article back in February about putting together a play list for Connections.  Now that it has been a few months (and hopefully more people have read Connections :-) ), I'd like some more input from my readers.  I received a few suggestions to the February article, but no where near enough for me to choose.

    

      So, here's a little prompt.  Think of the relationships between the characters.  Brian and Ana.  Ana and Caleb.  Ana and Aiden.  Caleb and Brian.  Sara and Ana.  You get the picture.  I've found a few on my own but the more options the better.

 

      I love hearing from my readers, so comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Have fun with it!  So, what are you waiting for?  Listen to some awesome songs and respond!  ;-)

     2.) For every person you recommend who subscribes to my website, your name will be counted TWICE!

     3.)  For every person you recommend who purchases my book AND writes a review on Amazon or Goodreads with their name in the review somewhere, your name will be counted FOUR TIMES!!!  (please remember the contest ends March 31st, so the review must be on Amazon or Goodreads BEFORE that date)  (Note-a review is the only way to track names of people you recommend)

Music Playlist for Connections

Music Playlist for Connections

 

 

     So let's do something fun!  So many authors have playlists that reminds them of their story's.  If the story was turned into a movie, what would be on the soundtrack kind of playlist. 

 

     I am really at a loss for songs that I could add to the playlist.  I'd really like to include a playlist of about 10-12 songs here on my website. 

 

     So this is where you come in.  For those who have read the book Connections, what songs would fit to the story line?  Comment below with a few.  Then I can compile what I think would fit and add the playlist on this website.  Please no songs with bad language :-)   Do have fun with it.  Let's see how many we can get. 

CONNECTIONS-Ready for purchase NOW!

Connections-Ready for purchasing!

 

     I'm so happy, I just cannot contain myself.  My first book has been uploaded and is now ready for purchase on Amazon.  I thought it would take a little while for Amazon to process it.   I revealed the cover to the contest winner-Samantha Denton just this morning.  So it wasn't supposed to be revealed to everyone till tomorrow.  But....  She was very gracious about it and didn't mind at all that it was already out there for everyone to see. 
    
     It is ready NOW!!  You just have to click on the blue link under the cover I've shown below.  If you don't have a kindle, all you have to do is download the kindle app on your phone or tablet, then go purchase the book.  It should automatically download to your device.

 

Connections-by Erin V Moore

    
     I first thought about what I wanted on the cover while writing the story.  My designer-Amygdala Book Cover Designs-did an amazing job, don't you think?

     Once you buy the book and read it, please go back to amazon and write a review (be nice :-)  ).  The more reviews (good ones, obviously), the better it looks for prospective buyers. 
   
     And tell all your friends, your family, your niece in college, EVERYONE!!!  I'm counting on my supporters to help me get the word out.  The saying that the best marketing is word of mouth is so true!

     Needless to say, my excitement for this milestone of the self-publishing journey is overflowing!!!  ~Happy Dance, Happy Dance~

Freestyle Friday! Happy New Year!

Freestyle Friday!

 

 

     It’s that time again, Friday.  The very first Friday of 2015 actually.  Let's start the New Year with a fresh slate, a blank page for new beginnings. 

     So to get creative juices flowing, we are doing a New Year Freestyle Friday.  If you are new to Freestyle Fridays, I start with either a picture, sentence or group of sentences, then continue with the beginnings of a story.  This is where you come in and either continue with my story or begin one of your own.  You don’t have to be a writer to do this, just someone who wants to have some creative fun!   

 

     This is not how I wanted to start the New Year.  Sitting alone, in a hotel room, starving… with a gun in my hand.

 

My Story

      I told him I couldn’t do it.  Just causing anyone to hurt was against my nature.  Why did it come down to this?  Did he really think I could get past the inevitable consequences of my actions?  What would my parents think?  Of course, they would never know, since they were hundreds of miles away.  But that didn’t stop me from caring about their reaction.

     I just didn’t understand why it had to come to this?

 

Ok, my peeps.  Take it from there, or start a new one.  Don’t be shy, I’d love to hear from you!
