I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
I got the Amazon Kindle for Christmas and I must say that I'm totally addicted and fear I may never put the darn thing done.
On an upside Second Chances has become my obsession and have found the big holes that were missing and will not have to after all my hair pulling, almost crying and over-smoking of cigarettes, destroy what I am calling from now on My Child....lol j/k. But I really do feel attached to it and would love to share it with the world once it is done. Although, I have heard that a writer never thinks their work is done....
The plot line to Rachel's story has been changed as well since it would technically be the sequel to Second Chances. (It is still titled Breaking the Rule but that will probably change)
I've also spent a lot of time over at Goodreads and you should swing by to check out what I'm reading at any given moment. I also have several books up for swap.
If I don't post again before January 1st, I wish you all a Happy, Prosperous & Love Filled New Year!!!!!!

Character Bios
I've been so engrossed with editing that I finally had a chance to do some new writing last night. With no editing and no add-ons I had complete creative freedom on where the story was going.
It felt good to create a new world and new characters. I like this process as I'm able create them from the inside out. From strengths and weaknesses to hair color, height and tone of voice.
Some of my favorite characters have inspiring backgrounds, others you wish you'd never met in the middle of a lonely street corner after dark and others you want to smack and say "Wake up and smell the coffee because what you want is right in front of you but not for long..." but overall they all have a spot in my heart.
My favorite character to date would have to be Rachel Avila. She is a 28 year old freelance journalist from Boston. Growing up she was a tomboy mostly because she was raised by her widower father. Rachel has a fraternal twin brother Raymond. Physically she is tall, curvy, long wavy hair and if anyone could play her in a movie it would have to be Rosario Dawson. Characteristically she is a good friend with a big heart but she was in an abuse relationship that left her emotionally scarred. Her weaknesses include Thai food, whiskey and hunky musicians.
When Rachel is given the once in a life time opportunity to take the most sought after interview in the music industry will she be able to look past the fact that her abusive ex Noah is to be the replacement drummer for the band??? Or that Tony the lead singer has been the object of her fantasies for years???
