The 2015 wrap-up and more...

2015 was a life-changing year. Yeah, it was a little tough. But it also chiseled off some corners that were sharp.

*a newsletter about my resolutions and goals for 2016 will be coming on 1/1 along with Chapter One of Lightning Kissed*

But I'm so looking forward to 2016.

So here's the wrap-up.

First of all, I'd like to say a big, fat, sweet as a candy cane, thank you to all of you who read my books this year and encouraged me in any way. I'm so grateful for my readers and wish I could thank each of you in person. 

Best things I read in 2015: Even The Moon Has Scars by Steph Campbell, Crimson Cove by Eden Butler, and American Gods by Neil Gaiman. 

Best things I watched in 2015: Chuck (TV Show/Netflix), Zoo (TV Show/Netflix), The Way (Movie/Netflix), and Bleach (Movie/Netflix)

Music that ruled 2015: Halsey, Motopony, She Wants Revenge, Rogue Wave, Angus & Julia, Milo Greene, Tin Sparrow and The 1975. 

That brings me to 2016. 2016 is going to be a kick ass year. I can feel it in my marrow. 

Here's my predicted release schedule for 2016:

Lightning Kissed 1/4 (Pre-order links below)

Amazon: http://amzn.to/1MxSZOQ 

The Supernatural Chronicles Boxed Set 1/26

Lightning Sealed 2/1

Forced Autonomy 5 2/15

Dethroning Crown novella 3/15

Meet Me Halfway 4/1

Bayou Bear Chronicle (4) 6/15

Military Novella 7/4

The Second Jam (2 Not yet titled) 9/1

There may be more. There may be less, but this is my *hopeful* list. 

Also, 2016 will be the year that I overcome my fear of Youtube. So there will be videos. Weird, awkward, make-up free videos. But videos. *sigh*

How was 2015 for you? Any New Year's resolutions?

Still smelling pine. Still sweeping up glitter. Just found that wrapping paper I was looking for.

Throwback Thursday: Seeking Havok #TBT

Her life is just as messed up as her name.

All she wanted was a friend---one that knew her and not her circumstances. She needed somewhere to call home. Hers was an open door for countless men looking for the services her mother offered them. She camouflaged herself against lockers and blackboards to avoid the stares and whispers at school.

And then she found Cal...and Fade.

Cal lives like Frankenstein, rising at night to work and just trying to make it until dawn. He avoids most relationships, afraid of the things he will be asked to do. He moonlights as Fade, a radio station DJ who spends hours counseling his peers on their troubles. It was all mundane until Jocelyn called the station.

Cal and Havok pursue a friendship.

Jocelyn and Fade pursue a relationship beyond the confines of the radio waves.

But when Havok disappears, Cal will find that Havok has been guarding a lifetime worth of secrets. And when Fade and Jocelyn’s all night phone conversations cease, he finds a link between them he never saw coming.

Throwback Thursday: Hoax #TBT

She's spent a long time in a bubble. In an odd turn of events, Corinne is taken out of boarding school and plunged into high school where bullies reign and nice guys come in last.

But this is after she's already fallen in love with Abel over the summer.

Abel is trapped, with friends he secretly hates, but has chosen to stay with the status quo. It's just high school, right?

What do you do when the person you love sees the very worst part of you? And how do you help them when they discover their life is a hoax?

AMAZON  GOODREADS

Excerpt...

"I watched the whole thing through that urine colored cafeteria window, I could almost hear the cracking and crumbling as the world around me fell to pieces.  Abel was there, looking on as those people he called friends pushed, prodded and picked on the frail boy, knocking him back and forth around the circle like a childhood game of hot potato.  The bile and soggy lunch rose in my throat as I came to grips with the scene. Abel, the kindest, gentlest, most loving person I’d ever known was a part of this.  He wasn’t participating, but by standing there while it happened meant he was on the team but sitting on the bench.  It made everything that happened during the summer seem like a lie, like deceit, like artifice.  The Abel that I knew and fell in love with—it was all a hoax."  Corinne

Throwback Thursday: The Bayou Bears Chronicles #TBT

In the depths of the Louisiana swamps, clans of bear shifters roam freely. Hawke Turnclaw, the Alpha over all of his kind, is drowning in the legacy left to him by the Alpha before him, his own father. When he goes on a rescue mission to save a rogue Black bear from the clutches of a Grizzly clan, he finds more than just a Black bear, he finds his mate.

Echo has always been told she's an anomaly, a fluke. She's the only bear of her kind and that makes her a hindrance to her clan. She's tried to run away, but they keep her tethered through guilt and a shock collar around her neck.

And then someone shows up claiming he's her mate.

Now belonging to a new clan, will she ever be able to understand that she's so much more than just a burden?

AMAZON  GOODREADS 

Determined to be the best Beta he can, Rev has made sure to keep his distance from Martha, the female he knows to be his mate. He’s not sure he even knows how to be a decent mate to her.

All that changes when the Alpha and the Coeur conspire to make sure that Martha and Rev both face what they’ve known to be true for so long.

One look is all it takes, but there is so much more to being a mated couple than facing the claim.

Martha is not ready to give up anything in her life, not even to make room for him.

Rev is ready, but only as long as his female bends her life to fit into his.

Pushing and pulling, each one will have to decide which is more important—the life they’ve built, or the one they could have together.

Interview with Jamie Magee and the release of The Witches!

Ash Sabien, a born mortal witch, was meant to be an immortal guardian, as was Soren Wade. But they were never meant to be lovers, which is why Ash fought the pull to him, sometimes venomously.

Days before the sacred holiday of the Day of the Dead a message was sent to their coven: diairoúmeno aíma enós epistrofí̱ sou.

It was a call to rise, a call to hunt what was revered by their coven and use it to stop evil. The honor of the hunt was given to Ash and Soren. When Ash rushed to tell Soren of the mystery before them the last thing she expected was to walk in on Soren with another girl. She bolted. He chased her.

Neither one of them saw the truck.

Neither one of them felt the pain.

Death came like a thief in the night.

Ash knew as she stared at the tragic scene that she’d failed her fate, they both had. She let herself feel, care—and now there was no telling what could happen because she had. In death could they rise? In death could they finish the hunt and save more than them, more than their coven...?

Get to Know Jamie Magee Better! 

What would you be doing right now if you were not an author? I would be in a deep, dark pit of depression! (JK, maybe...) Before writing I was a field executive for an international retail company. I adored the fast pace of the business world, but nothing makes my heart quicken like the untold story of a whispering character.

5 years ago: what were you doing? Five years ago, I had been published for one year and was daring to think I could write and leave the executive world far far far behind me!

Do you have a certain writing ritual? I do not stand behind the saying ‘writers write, if you are not writing then you are not a writer.’ I think if you chase a world count you abandoned the romantic, magically side of writing. My ritual when characters are whispering to me is to write as fast as my fingers can take me—sun up until my eyes fall shut! When I’m not writing, I’m living my life and finding inspiration in every thing.
What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author? All criticism is hard to hear, but each ounce of it is a chance to learn. I take what I can use and leave the rest behind.

Ever fangirled over another author? Who was it? In person, not yet ☹ One day soon though I will meet my idols!!!

Is there an author you'd like to meet? Ah! So many! Kresley Cole, JR Ward, Francine Rivers, Steven King, Nora Roberts...

Biggest writing pet peeve? ...I can’t think of one.

Do you read other's reviews of your books? Sparingly... I mainly just hear the chatter in my author groups ☺

Throwback Thursday: Sparrows for Free & Doves for Sale #TBT

Ezra is ruled by the ghosts of his past—and needled by the guilt they create. Not only does he have to manage his own guilt—his friends are forced to bear the weight as well. He lives in limbo, never dreaming of anything that lies beyond the grave.

In his mind, he’s a murderer, pure and simple.

Hide and seek is Aysa’s game. She begs for small spaces and empty places. But, she secretly desires so much more.

When they find each other, a hope for something new is sprung.

But Ezra’s skeletons are out for blood.

“No, I’m sorry because I’m about to kiss you. I shouldn’t. I should stay away from you. I’m just gonna break you. I’m gonna ruin you and maybe ruin us both.”

“Maybe I want to be ruined.”

“Love isn’t crazy. Love isn’t a degree of insanity. Love is sanity at its purest. It forces your soul to make a rational choice—a choice to make another person’s happiness your priority, to allow them access to your heart and soul. Letting Ezra go was choosing to love him. Letting him go was the best way you knew how to choose his joy over your own. I can see it in both of you. This love isn’t one that will go down without a fight.”

Seven months is a long time to wait.

Ezra has three goals. There is no choice. He has to get better, for himself and for Aysa.

Except, his best friend Roman has moved in in his absence. He’s given Ezra’s girl a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, and a fighting chance at winning her heart.

Aysa knows who her heart belongs to.

But loving Ezra is no easy task.

Ezra never promised simple, he only promised his heart.

Aysa has two paths in front of her, one carries peace and one carries a love that never ends.
