#ThatMomentWhenYouRealizeYouWontBeFinishingNaNo

So...the hashtag says it all. I got my puppy at the beginning of November, and I didn't have time to write at all. Then things settled in, and I got a lot of work done, then I didn't.

Let's just say...I'm sad. My fourth year and I won't be able to finish. I know a lot of people don't end up finishing, and that's okay. I just really wanted to do it agian this year, BUT, my puppy is very important to me, and I will finish this book, I won't give up on it. :)

How is everyone, by the way? The puppy keeps me away from all of you lovely people.

Romancing Halloween Blog Hop! Oct. 25th - Nov. 1st!



Halloween is my favorite holiday (aside from Thanksgiving). I love dressing up, that's my favorite part of the whole thing. And oh, the candy. Horror movies was never something I enjoyed, they scare the crap out of me, and I never watch them. BUT, I do love the dark. It's fascinating, and when I created my beings for my Two Rings series, one of them had to be of the dark. OverShadowers. And of course, they're counter parts, Undimmed.

To learn more about OverShadowers, check out, Shadow Future:

Current WIP, and NaNo!!!!!

As you all know, I love NaNo. It's the highlight of my writing year. I love being pressured to write all the words and reach my goal!

So, I am VERY excited to be doing it again this year! This would be my 4th year doing it, and I am really excited. :)

Are you doing NaNo? If so, what's your word goal? I'm going for the 50k if I can do it! Since I am getting a puppy and puppies take up a lot of time. ;)

As for my current WIP, if I could finish this book before November 1st, I would be doing NaNo. But, I have decided to not finish my current WIP, because I ended up hating it as I got into it. The characters were doing all sorts of things I didn't like, and if you are a writer, you will understand this. Characters don't do what we want, they do what they want. Simple. And the whole process of the book totally didn't go the way I wanted, BUT, that's okay. Because I got super far in it, almost 30k, which I am very proud of. And since my break from writing all those months ago, I'm very proud of myself. ^.^

So that being said, I am READY for NaNo! Let's do this thing!

-Madison xoxo

PS: Here's a picture of my puppy to be:


Her name is Charlie. :) <3

Frostbite - Coming December 20th

That's right, a new book. Woah, boom, bang, pow!

It's the book that comes right after The Hurricane, The Storm Saga Book 2. It's about five years later, and it's from Felix's POV.

You're excited now, aren't you?

The summary is highlighted in white, to avoid spoilers, aren't I nice?

Things have gone smoothly for the Walters after they had their two children, Nevaeh and Zachary. No signs of powers, and no government agents coming after their family. It's normal, Felix has a job, and Millicent watches the children. But when Millicent gets an offer she doesn't want to refuse, and Felix tells her that it's not a good idea, the two start to fight, and the family seems to be falling apart bit by bit. Felix tries to fix the problem, tries to make things better, but Millicent doesn't have it.

When Millicent leaves, and Felix is left alone, it's up to their children to bring them together again, but not in a way anyone was excepting.

And here is the gorgeous cover that Hope made for it last minute!!


Frostbite will be out on the 20th of December! Just around the time snow comes along. Hehe. ;)

STARS - Cover Reveal! + Giveaway!

It's the moment you've all been waiting for!

I'm now going to reveal the cover of my upcoming YA standalone, STARS.

Are you ready?

Summary first, as always:

After the death of the King, Myra knows what she has to do. His son, Torren, Myra’s past best friend, will take the throne. But first, he has to marry Princess Arora, and Myra. His Mistress. Things have been like this as long as Myra can remember, there was a Mistress before her, and so on. The Queen doesn’t have the children, the Mistresses do, and then they get stars. One for marrying, one for completing the marriage, and one for bearing an heir. Myra’s known her fate from the moment she was taken into the royal family after the rebellion years ago.

After they marry, things start to change. The way the royals live is different now, less old fashioned, more modern. Myra is excited for this change, maybe things will be different, maybe she will be able to keep her future child instead of having to give it over to Arora like she should. But after a trip to Arora’s family, Myra finds out something that will ruin her forever.

She tries to hide her fate from Torren, and from Arora. And with a new rebellion rising up at the same time, it’s easy to. But when a rebel by the name of Carter says she’s the key to helping restore the former royal family back to the throne, Myra is faced with an impossible choice.

Stay with Torren and die with him and the Senile when the rebels attack, or join the rebels, and fight for a future that she never thought she’d be apart of.

Will Myra choose love, or duty?

And here is the cover! Hope did such a great job with the cover!!

Fillicent Scene!

I wrote this out of nowhere the other night. And decided to share!

It takes place in the middle of Thunder & Lightning (The Storm Saga #1.5) It's during their wedding night, of obvi, I don't write sex scenes, so it's not that. So don't worry, peeps. You can always count on me for that! ^.^

Enjoy!!

~~~

When the dress slipped to the floor, and his coat and a shirt came off, I literally couldn't breathe. I had only seen men without their shirts at war times, when they were being fixed up. I never went anywhere that men might be showing more than in thought proper. I never even saw my brothers without their shirts on, our heritage was so drilled into us I ha d never seen a chest before. Ever. I felt silly, thinking those things, but when Felix leaned back from kissing my shoulder, I reached out and tentatively touched him, it wasn't much, since he was still really a boy according to these times, but he was a man to me. My husband. My Felix. My thunder. 

He touched my hand as I trailed my fingers down his chest. "You seem a little shocked." He whispered. I nodded and bit my lip. He took his other hand and carefully put it on my waist and goosebumps went up my entire body. "Millicent," he whispered. I didn't know who was in more of a state of shock, him or me. I knew he's never seen a girl with a bikini, he told me he wanted to be careful, so seeing me in just my undergarments was driving him insane. And touching me no less. 

"I don't...I don't know..." He stammered softly.

"Me too," so I just leaned forward and kissed him. That helped him get back to routine. He explored new parts of me, and I explored new parts of him, until we both didn't have any clothes on and I was in the bed, and he was hovering over me and we just kissed. "I love you," he whispered to me. "I love you too." I whispered back. My thunder. My everything. We continued all night, things were awkward and were confusing but the fact that we were both doing this together and for the first time made it all worth it. I loved him, and he loved me. And that's all that mattered.

~~~

Got inspired from reading DELUGE. Lisa never ceases never to inspire me! Hope you liked, if you didn't, that's alright, I wrote this just for fun. :)

Happy Tuesday!

Cover Reveal: FRAGILE REIGN by Stacey O'Neale!

We're thrilled to help reveal the cover for FRAGILE REIGN (Mortal Enchantment #2) by Stacey O'Neale! Check out the cover below, and let us know what you think in the comments. Then be sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to win a $100 Amazon or B&N gift card!

Details about the cover, from author Stacey O'Neale:

In case you're curious about the cover, the model represents Marcus. The background represents the woodland court and the caves at the bottom are where the members of the royal family live. I chose caves because the woodland court protects the forests of the world. I didn't think they would choose to cut down trees to make a castle, so the massive caves worked out nicely. If you zoom in, you can see where the doors and windows are cut out. The inside is very lavish. If you read FRAGILE REIGN, you'll learn all about it.
FRAGILE REIGN (Mortal Enchantment #2) by Stacey O'Neale | November 18, 2014
It’s been a week since all hell broke loose… Rumors of King Taron’s weakened powers have left the air court vulnerable. Kalin is desperate to awaken her akasha powers, except she doesn’t know how. Tension within the court is at an all-time high. Pressure is mounting for her to ascend to the throne, but a halfling has never ruled over any court. To solidify her position, the council has advised her to marry Sebastian—a high ranking air elemental she’s never met and her betrothed. Will Kalin sacrifice her relationship with Rowan to strengthen her court? Rowan and Marcus return to a fire court in turmoil. Liana’s death has fueled the fire elementals’ distrust against the air and woodland courts. The unbalanced elements have set off natural disasters all over the mortal world. Rowan takes the throne to restore balance, promising to unite the fire court. But not all elementals are happy with his leadership. Many are secretly loyal to Valac, which means Rowan needs to find allies for his cause. Can Rowan unify the court of fire before the elements destroy the world?

Tiny update

Hello there!

I'm sure you're all sick of my health book updates, believe me, I am too. But, I just want to make sure you all know what's going on.

I sent STARS to the editor a few days ago, so shell start editing and then I will get to sharing it with all of you!

But I'm just happy I'm able to focus on a book and you guys at all. BUT, that doesn't mean I'm giving up on my other series, or future ones. I'm just trying to slide back into things slowly, so I don't overwhelm myself. :)

So, with that, ill be setting up a cover reveal for STARS here very soon, and then we'll get goong!

Thank you all for being so patient with me! You guys rock!

{Blog Tour} The Poisoned Emerald by Sarena and Sasha Nauna + Interview

Good morning everyone! I am very excited to be part of this blog tour! I had a chance to interview one of the main characters from the Pendant Trilogy, Arica!

~~~

Favourite Colour?
Purple! My mom always makes me a purple birthday cake each year, since it's my favourite colour!

Favourite pastime?
I don't think I could choose just one. Maybe archery--I have my own target board! I also really like drawing (usually scenes from plays).

What subject do you enjoy most at school?
Easy! I love drama class. It's always been a dream of mine to become an actress.

What are your magical powers?

I'm still getting used to them, to be honest! I don't really want to give away my power to those who haven't read my story ... they might get a bit freaked out that magic exists! Let's just say I can lift my favourite sketchbook without having to touch it!

Do you enjoy reading? If so, what genre?
I wish I spent more time reading. I read some plays here and there, and screenplays and things like that. Science fiction or any speculative fiction is also cool. To be honest, I'd rather spend time practicing archery or acting ... that's why I'm at an academy for the arts! 

Thanks for the interview, Madison!  

Thank you for stopping by Arica!

Want to learn more about Arica and the rest? Read The Gemstone and The King's Jewel now!


And follow these lovely ladies on Twitter!

~~~


The poison is spreading....

I wrapped myself in the portal’s embrace and felt my feet land on a new surface. I stood on a sandy beach that was wet and damp, causing the ground to stick to my shoes. The portal snapped shut, and I felt misty rain dance on my shoulders. Thunder sounded from overhead, and before I could comprehend the impending storm, a gash of lightning hit the hill just to the right of the river. The ground quaked below me before an explosion of sand burst from the ground.

AS WINTER ARRIVES Arica Miller is back to regular school life at Hill Valley. After resolving the disappearance of the King’s Jewel and returning it safely, Arica doesn’t expect anything else to go wrong. Too soon does Arica learn that a great evil—a poison—has spread through the Sorcerers Underworld, threatening to take away all magic. And worse, the only person who can save the magical world has been kidnapped: the king. In order to find the king, Arica and her friends must follow an ancient prophecy in which they must defeat vicious creatures, travel through mysterious forests, and restore peace to the poisoned land—no matter how dangerous it could be … In this final installment of The Pendant Trilogy, Arica learns of dark pasts, unknowable futures, and the truth of the pendant’s origin. Arica doesn’t have much time left—and if she fails, the mortal and the magical worlds are both at stake.

Madison? Who?

Yeah, that's probably that you all were thinking when I popped up onto the world wide web yesterday.

I am Madison Louise, and I am back.

For real this time.

I hope.

Just like in my blog post I posted back on June 2nd, I've been having some anxiety issues, since my last blog post, I'm doing way better. It's hard to explain exactly why I couldn't do certain things, I just can't. It doesn't make any sense to even me.

BUT, I am going to do my best to be there for all of you! I know I had a lot of book plans, but some of those will have to be put on hold until I am 100% better again. Which will hopefully be sometime in October when I can lower down my dosage of meds. Woooo.

STARS will still be released, I promise. In 2015 like I said. I have a cover and it is amazing and I forgot about it until now. Haha. I am a terrible author.

I am going to be really busy these next two weeks with band camp and church camp, but I will try to be there for you all as much as I can!

Lots of love,

-Madison xoxo

I'm Backish!

Hello there, readers!

I am just going to be honest with you. The reason I took a break from the Twitter, writing and Facebook and just connecting with all you wonderful people is because of a personal thing.

I have anxiety, and it was getting so bad that I couldn't do anything. Not even being home helped, I couldn't stand it, and going places was awful and I hated it. I am doing amazingly better now, and I have meds now that are helping me get through this. But even after the meds started working, I still had a tinge of anxiety left, and I couldn't even get on Twitter and talk to any of you. I would get on there and get overwhelmed by all the tweets and all the things I had to do. But, summer started today, and I am determined to be on more and to interact with you and jump back into things, and I know that God will help me through all of this, and I miss you all a whole lot.

The Two Rings series is finished, and that really took some stress off of me. The Storm Saga is still in the works, I had big plans for it, but I'm not sure when I will be able to finish writing the fourth book, and then the fifth. But two books are already written and I will do my best to get them all edited for you as soon as I am up to it.

STARS is still going to be in the making, there might be a publishing deal in there somewhere, if things work out. So I will let you all know about that as soon as I can! I know if I had someone publishing it for me, and editing it for me, it would really unstress my life, and things would go a whole lot smoother.

As of right now, I am back on Twitter and I am very excited to be back with you all! I apologize for the break, and I hope you forgive me. :)

Happy Summer everyone!

-Madison xoxo

Taking a break

Hello there lovely readers!

I am writing this blog post to inform you that I won't be on social media very much. As you probably have noticed, I haven't been much on as of late. Just here and there, I'm having trouble focusing on so many things as once lately, so it's been hard to update you all and write and read and all that.

But rest assured, I will continue to write when I can, and to edit when I can. Summer is coming and it's going to be a busy one but I'm excited for it!

I will still be lingering on Twitter, since it's connected with my phone. So send me stuff on there, and I'll be able to get it. :)

Thank you all so much for being so awesome!

DIVIDE {Blog Tour - Simple Showcase}

From senior class president to dejected social outcast, with just the flick of a match.

After accusations of torching her ex-boyfriend’s home are followed by the mysterious poisoning of her ex-best friend, seventeen-year-old Holland Briggs assumes her life is over. And it is. But not in the way she thinks.

As Holland learns the truth about her cursed fate—that she is descended from the Beast most have only ever heard of in fairytales—she unites with an unlikely ally, good-looking newcomer Mick Stevenson. 

Mick knows more about Holland’s twisted history than she does, and enlightening as it is to learn about, his suggestion for a cure is unsettling at best. Holland must fall in love with Mick in order to break the spell, and save their future generations from repeating her cursed fate. Having sworn off love after the betrayals of her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend, this may be difficult to accomplish. 

Complicating things further for Holland and Mick, time runs out, and Holland’s change begins way before schedule. With Holland quickly morphing into a dangerous mythical creature, Mick struggles to save her.

Should they fail, Holland will be lost to the beast inside her forever.










I am very excited to read this book!

Jessa Russo believes in fairytales, ghosts, and Jake Ryan. She insists mimosas were created for Sundays, and that’s not up for discussion. She’s obsessed with the great city of New Orleans—where she’s collected too many beads to count, eventually married her sweetheart, and visited graveyards they don’t include on maps.

She’s loud, painfully honest, and passionate about living life to the fullest, because she’s seen how abruptly it can be taken away.

What began as a desire for reading and writing young adult paranormal has bled into stories of all kinds. From fantasy to pre-dystopian to erotic contemporary, Jessa’s stories always include romance, though she’s given up on pigeonholing her work into a category or genre box.

Jessa was born and raised in Southern California, and remains there to this day with her husband (a classic car fanatic), their daughter (a Tim Burton superfan), and a Great Dane who thinks he’s the same size as his Chihuahua sister.

ENTWINED, the final installment of Russo’s Ever Trilogy, will be released late 2014, as well as an erotic romance written under a pseudonym. Stay tuned!

Our Future is out!

Good morning and happy Friday, readers! Today marks a special day.

OUR FUTURE, the last book in the Two Rings series is out into the world. This day marks the day that I successfully finished a series. I am very happy.


Pearl Underwood just wants it all to be over. She escaped the OverShadowers, and Adskhan. But not without a price. She’s still Fastened to him, and the memory of what he did to her haunts her. Giving her nightmares, and not even being able to say his name. The only thing that seems to be holding her together is, Max. She tries to learn more about her powers, keep them balanced. It keeps her sane, keeps her hoping for a better future. But she still feels like she belongs nowhere, even in the place with all the other people like her.

Max just wants Pearl to be herself again. Adskhan took everything from her, and all that’s left of his Pearl is an empty shell. He wants to be there for her, holds her when she cries, and tries to make everything better. But when his brother says that it’s time to start gathering the Hybrids again, he knows he has to leave her. He knows that Adskahn will come for her again, and when he’s suddenly thrust into being head of the Hybrids, Max faces his biggest challenge yet.
Will Pearl and Max be able to get past all their fears and worries and be together? Or will those who took everything get what they finally want?

MORTAL ENCHANTMENT, releasing on May 20, 2014!

Check out the awesome cover and enter to win a $50 Amazon or Barnes & Noble Gift Card!!!
On to the reveal!


This cover is amazing, and I am really excited for this book!!







“Mortal Enchantment spins a unique twist on elemental mythology. This series is not to be missed.”
Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author


In Kalin Matthew's world, elementals control the forces of nature. They are divided into four courts: air, woodland, fire, and water. At sixteen she will leave the life she's built with her mortal mother. Kalin will move to Avalon to rule with her father—the elemental king of the air court. Along the way, she's attacked by a fire court assassin and saved by Rowan, a swoon-worthy elemental with a questionable past.

Worst of all, she learns her father is missing.

To rescue him, Kalin will have to work with a judgmental council and a system of courts too busy accusing each other of deceit to actually be able to help her. But, they aren’t her biggest challenge. With the Midwinter’s Ball only five days away, Kalin must take over her father’s duties, which includes shifting control of the elements—power Kalin has yet to realize.

As Rowan attempts to train her, a war looms between the four courts. If Kalin fails, her father will die and the courts will fall, but the betrayal she’s about to uncover may cost her even more...


If you haven't read THE SHADOW PRINCE, you can download if NOW for FREE from Amazon and Barnes & Noble!!!
Every sacrifice has consequences.

Sixteen-year-old Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortals—learning to control the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by completing a secret mission:

Kill Kalin, the half-human, half-elemental daughter of the air court king.

Willing to do anything to remove his mother from power, he agrees to sacrifice the halfling. He returns to the mortal world with his best friend, Marcus, determined to kill the princess. But as he devises a plan, he starts to question whether or not he's capable of completing such a heinous task. And what price he will pay if he refuses?

NEWS : Stars

Happy Monday everyone! It's raining here, a gloomy kind of rain. I feel sorry for Matthew, whatever is troubling him today.

I'm just going to jump right in:

I have some news concerning STARS, my YA standalone. Previously, I said it would come out late this year. But, since it is a long book, and I really want it to be edited and perfect as much is can for you, I have decided that it will be released in the Spring of 2015.

I know, I know. It's a LONG time from now, and I'm sad too. But I want this book to be the best it can be for all of you, so you'll love it as much as I do. I have some amazingly awesome editors and BETA's working on it, and I'm excited to share it with you. And the coverrrrr ahhh. Hope is amazingsauce.

BUT, I have some other news...news that I hope to share soon...news that talks about books...my books...

News that's not the news above is: The Storm Saga #3 is already written, and so is 2.5, as you may or may not know. And that means covers and titles and release dates! YAY! AND, Our Future (Two Rings #4) is releasing on the 25th of this month! This series was my very first, and though it's not perfect and bumpy and not edited very well, I want to see it through. And I hope you do too. Pearl has grown a lot, and I hope to write more of her and Max somewhere in the future.

You can add STARS here, The Storm Saga #3 here, #2.5 here, and Our Future, here.


Here, have a cute gif of little Batman running.

Complicating things further for Holland and Mick, time runs out, and Holland’s change begins way before schedule. With Holland quickly morphing into a dangerous mythical creature, Mick struggles to save her. 
Should they fail, Holland will be lost to the beast inside her forever.

The Shadow Prince by Stacey O'Neale - Release Day Party!


Today is release day for THE SHADOW PRINCE by Stacey O'Neale! I am so excited to help promote this amazing novella and enter to win a $50 Amazon or Barnes & Noble Gift Card!


 Every sacrifice has consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortals—learning to control the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by completing a secret mission: Kill Kalin, the half-human, half-elemental daughter of the air court king. Willing to do anything to remove his mother from power, he agrees to sacrifice the halfling. He returns to the mortal world with his best friend, Marcus, determined to kill the princess. But as he devises a plan, he starts to question whether or not he's capable of completing such a heinous task. And what price he will pay if he refuses?

The Hurricane is HERE! + Giveaway

IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE! *flails* I hope you're excited!! I know I AM. I am SO excited to share the rest of Millicent's and her families lives with you!

BOOK TWO IN THE STORM SAGA BY MADISON LOUISE.

Ever since the storm that changed Millicent, and her brother’s lives, giving them storm powers, Millicent had never been truly happy, but with Felix back, and all of them together, things were just like they used to be before the storm—minus the 17th century—it was time to try school again, but together this time, and without everything that almost separated them again. But just as everything was falling back into a normal steady pace, things start to fall apart again. A new enemy, Tyler, doesn’t want them to be around, he wants them dead, wants to finish what his cousins failed to do months before.

Millicent tells the others to start training, getting ready for the fight that is sure to come, but things fall apart farther and farther, until Millicent is just holding onto a thread, and that thread is Felix. But only for a time. Because sometimes, even love has its limits. Even though that love had time to grow and strengthen.

With the new threat looming over their heads, the family scattered, Millicent isn’t sure how this will end happily, for her, for Felix, for her family. Especially with something comes into Felix and Millicent’s life, and changes it forever. 

Will they all be able to come together again, and face the threat? Or will they bend to those who wish to destroy them?








Here's The Hurricane's playlist!

Yay, books!

Happy Thursday!

As I was getting THE HURRICANE ready to be available to everyone, I noticed that I can now do expanded distribution. Which, I am very happy about! It goes out to libraries, online stores and bookstores now, with the help of Createspace.

But sad part is, I had to up the price on them for the same reason. (just for paperbacks, ebooks are the same!) They're more now, but I think it's worth it, considering they're going out to a lot of places! I will post the new links as soon as they are available!

I am furiously getting THE HURRICANE ready for you to read! Don't forget to sign up to help me spread the word. What do you need to help? A Twitter and/or Facebook account or even blog! All I'm going to send you is the buy links, cover and summary! SUPER EASY.

Just fill out the form here.

Have a good rest of your day!

HAPPY TUESDAY! This is very late, and I apologize. I had a busy day today.

This time...WITH THE COVER.

“Don’t. Do. That. In. The. House.” Matthew said, he glared over at Felix, who was recovering from his shock and now laughing. “I mean it!” Matthew said, flustered. He turned and headed back to the steps, food spilling off of him as he went.






A little fun one for ya'll! You deserved it. ;) I hope your Tuesday was AWESOME.
