Almost There

We found out last week that I have placenta previa, meaning my placenta is completely blocking my cervix making it impossible to deliver the baby as expected. Bright and early Monday morning I have to go to the hospital for a scheduled c-section. Yay. Up until the last two weeks this pregnancy has gone great besides the 1st trimester nausea. So, as of Monday there will be a brand new bundle of joy joining my family!

As for my books, I have two that are incredibly close to uploading. Unfortunately these recent findings have set me back. And obviously a new baby will take priority. When I get the free time I will finish both. Hopefully before the new year. *fingers crossed*

Until then, everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving! Safe travels and well wishes to all!

Ugh Life

Nothing can ever go as planned.

We found out we're having another boy, he's due in November (YAY!!). Due to numerous doctors appointments and our oldest son's football practice and games, as well as sewing for the farmer's market, I haven't had much time on my hands for anything else. So my other ebook release dates have been pushed back to accommodate.

My still untitled mermaid ebook will definitely be out before mid-October, it's soooo close to final edits. The second book in the Secrets of the Hidden series will be out in late winter/early spring 2012, unfortunately. Until I publish untitled mermaid I am lowering the price  of Hidden Among Us for a limited time to hopefully generate a "buzz" if you will. It will return to its original $2.99 price when untitled mermaid is out, so keep that in mind. Untitled mermaid will be at $.99 as a permanent price.

This year so much has changed and I couldn't be happier. My son turned 10 years old on Sept. 17th and we've got another little boy coming in November. I can already feel that next year is going to be another funtastical one. One thing's for sure, it's been 10 yrs since my last baby, I'm having a hard time remembering what that's was like.

Enough rambling. Keep reading, my ebook or any other wonderful book out there!!

Thank You

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has purchased my ebook, you're the greatest! I'd also like to thank everyone for the emails about any errors. I know there is only a few, but that's enough to bother me. Next week I'm going to upload an updated version with the corrections.

It's been a busy and hectic time for me it being summer and all. With my son on summer break, pregnancy, writing, and sewing for the farmer's market, I've kept every minute of my days packed. It makes me thankful for all the supportive people in my life.

Thanks again to all! I'll have my updated version of Hidden Among Us up next week and my newest ebook up the week after!!

Next book news

No, this post isn't about the next book in the Secrets of the Hidden series. I'm actually thrilled to announce my next ebook, a stand alone book, yet to be titled, will be available by mid-July. It's a slightly different take on mermaids, and  completely apart from Hidden Among Us. This tale is more a paranormal romance which is very new to me. I've never written any type of a romance before, so I'm excited to hear what everyone thinks.

I'll post as soon as I upload it which may be sooner, I don't know yet. We shall see!!

Yet another book cover change

I'm so indecisive! I've changed my cover once again. It will take about 24 hrs to upload the newest one. Eventually I'll have another book uploaded and that cover will become my main focus.

If you find any editing errors at all, please, please, please email me with them: christinaeb103@gmail.com. I am completely open to constructive criticism and I know there are errors as I've recently found several. No worries, I am grateful for any help! Thank you!!!!

Newest obsession

We're pretty addicted to Netflix lately and once Time Warner decides to add HBO Go as an option I know that'll be our new best friend ( especially since the new season of True Blood has started and they give options for advanced viewings of upcoming episodes through Go!). Lately on Netflix we've been checking out a lot of the nature shows, ya know, real animal kingdom stuff. The big cats are fantastic!

Night is a documentary style show with Brandon McMillan in which he tries to film animals in their natural habitats at night. I get so excited when I see people get close to huge beasts, mostly because I think everyone has a morbid fascination with risk and danger.

 Personally I love wild animals. They're gorgeous and majestic, completely deserving of the natural word. Man being the world's number one predator is really destroying all that is beautiful. The number of extinctions and near extinctions due to man are disgusting. It breaks my heart to watch these shows and see what we do to the earth and all its creatures.

One day, when I actually can dedicate time to it, I'd love to get involved in animal rescue and rehabilitation. That's a distant goal :( . Until then I gots the indescribable job of having kiddies to raise. One day, though, one day.

A sad and untimely death

The death of Jackass's Ryan Dunn is a sad and eye opening tragedy. My husband and my brothers bonded over many episodes of Jackass back in the day. A lot of people saw them as idiots, some found them incredibly relatable, and many believed those guys to be invincible. Truth is, those guys were basically hilarious stuntmen who were fortunate enough to grow up with one another. What you perceived them to be was your own opinion. They may have started as somewhat amateurs but along the way they built themselves up to something great.

It is an unfortunate way for someone to pass, may he rest in peace.
