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!
Which brings me to the health part of this blog post, I will only be focusing on STARS for the moment. Which is all I can seem to focus on without running away in terror. 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!
-Madison xoxo

{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!
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.

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!

The poison is spreading....

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!

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 tostart 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?
