I'm going to need a bandage for the ... Afterburn! Beware adult content.

I read a book that I had been waiting on since I read the sneak peek by Sylvia Day. Afterburn was hot! It kept me on the edge of the seat. Even the few sex scenes were hot. Sylvia Day is a wonderful author. She can bring out a hot scene and gets you fantasizing more than most romance novels. I guess that's why they call the Erotic Romance.

I got this book for my kindle for $1.99 on Amazon. I waited for about a week after it was released before I was able to downloaded it. I'm glad I waited too. That meant getting it a little cheaper. Although it sucks that we have to wait until November 2013 for the second part of the book to come out. That one is Aftershock.

Now just as a warning this is only about 10 chapters long. Not normal for her books, but other than that it is a good book. You can buy it in paperback when the second part come out or get it for the kindle right. As of right now the kindle edition is still $1.99. Don't know if it will go up in price or not. I thought I had first seen it for $2.99 or $3.99, but I guess not. Now that I look at it the suggested retail for kindle is $3.99. 

This story is about Gianna Rossi and Jackson Rutledge. Two years before they had a 5 week fling. Then after those 5 weeks he walked out of her life without a word. Gianna had been in love. Then 2 years later he shows back up in her life when she is trying to score the biggest deal of her life. He is right in the middle of it.

To find out if they continue their love affair, and how her deal goes you will have to read Afterburn by Sylvia Day yourself.

Thank you for reading. I will post again once I have read something else. Not sure when that will be. I had applied for a job and have my first interview tomorrow! As much as I love reading and writing, we have to quit struggling to get by week after week. If I got my book I wrote published and many many people bought it and it was enough to pay bills and be able to put money into savings I would forget going back to a full time job. But hey a family has to what they have to get by.

Thank you and remember to follow the blog to get the latest updates. Also, leave any comments or questions that you want. Just remember please don't judge me for what I read and i won't judge you for what you read and like. Thank you for reading. Until the next read.

Thank you!

My oh, my ... The Vincent Boys

So on Friday I was out finishing up school shopping for my 5 year-old son, who starts his first year of school on Wednesday, when I was searching for a new book to read. Sure, I have plenty on my kindle waiting to be read so I can start looking ta the blogs i follow for new ones to read. I'm sure i am missing out on some good ones while I slowly clear what I already have on there off. Anyway, I found a YA novel at BAM! that was on the clearance shelves. It was only $3.00 so I picked it up and read the back of the book like I usually do when I want to see if a book is worth my time just from the description. So I like what little I read, since I never actually finished reading the back and bought the book. Since I am a club member of BAM! I got a few cents off the clearance price. (Hey, a few cents is a few cents when you have budget that most of the time gets off course)

Anyway the book is called The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines. Not a very catchy title, but I suppose not all books can be judged by the title like you can't judge a book by the cover. This is a YA (young adult) Romance novel. So primarily for the older teenage girls, boys too if they are into that kind of thing, but usually not. As for why I read it, I have been writing in the YA genre, if this is the first post you are reading. i read in another blog that you should read everything and anything in the genre that you are writing in, but then I read in another blog that you shouldn't read anything in the genre you are writing in. So what do I do you ask? I read anything I want.

I am a big supporter in reading what you like. Read what appeals to you, Read what inspires you. Some take it a step further, like I did, and write what inspires them. I may be 29 years-old, but to read a YA takes me back to my high school days, which I loved for the most part. Even though I enjoy reading romance novel or erotic romance novels, I still like to take a trip down memory lane and read anything that will take me back to when I didn't have much of a care in the world, but hanging with my friends, or being with guy I was dating at the time, and no I was not changing boyfriends like I changed underwear. I only had 2 BFs in while in high school, both more or less out of the picture, with only one I talk to occasionally.

So anyway, I loved the book. I would read it a again. Like I said you can't judge this book by the title of it. You have to open it up be it kindle or whatever e-reader version, or get a copy in paperback or hardback and enjoy it. If you are a parent of a high school girl say 16 and up, then it might make a good book for them. There is a moral to this story. That is : Don't pretend to be someone you're not for the sake of another person. It will only hurt you and the other person in the end.

This is a story about Ashton Gray and Beau Vincent. Ashton is dating Beau's cousin Sawyer. They had been dating for 3 years when the story starts. Sawyer is off with his family for a family getaway while Ash is left home with no one really around. Her only real friend Leann officially started dating a guy and was either with him or working over the summer before going off to college. In comes Beau. Beau, Ash, and Sawyer were friends long before Sawyer and Ashton started dating. When Beau seen that they were dating he and Ash seemed to go their separate ways.

Everything changed when Ash helps Beau and his on-again-off-again girl friend home when they are both too drunk to get home by themselves. They have a short talk that night. The next day everything in Ashton's life changes. Her Grana, grandmother those who aren't from the south, since this takes place in Alabama, comes home and Ashton goes over there to visit. After that she is doing things she hasn't wanted to do since right before she and Sawyer started dating.

To find out what happens between Ashton and Sawyer, Ashton and Beau, and Beau and Sawyer, who are cousins, or maybe they aren't, you won't know until you read the book for yourself.

You look on amazon.com to buy a copy or search the site of your favorite bookstore to get your copy. I found it while looking for a YA that would cover the same topic I cover in my own work. My book is a YA, but deals with some depression, and with time in the other books will be mixed with a little romance, all set for our YA readers.

It's too late for me to make a ... Buggy List

After however many weeks it has been since I read a book, I have finally sat down and in 2 nights read one for you all. I have The Buggy List for you. The Buggy List -  Courtney Rice Gager was a good book. It is kind of a romance story. It is more so about rekindling the romance in a marriage.

I liked it was cute. It was quite funny as well. It definitely gives you an idea of something you could do to get a spark back in your love life. Also if you have some things you want tom accomplish, it can give you ideas of doing your own buggy list before you have kids.

Libby and Drew were married for 6 years and Libby had decided she was ready to get ready to have a baby. Her sister told her she should create a list of things to do, like a bucket list, but not a list of thinge to do before dying, but a list to do before having children.

To know how she deals with all the ups and downs of the list they make you will have to go to amazon.com and download The Buggy List by Courtney Rice Gager. Sorry no websites to go to to find more work, no Facebook or Twitter pages either.

Thank you for reading and on to the next read. Not sure how long it will be before the next, but I will keep you posted. Just so you know I am just over halfway finished with the writing of my book before I will be editing it! Yay! Okay thank you once again for reading.

Crazy writer here

So I said it would be a little while before I read anymore books, that fact is definitely true. I really have been working on my book for the last few weeks. I have edited, got discouraged, edited it again and finally got what I wanted for the first half of the book. After all the struggling when I got discouraged I finally land on the fact that this book needed 2 parts. The Realization and The Reveal. Not sure if when I continue her story with another book that there will be 2 parts to those as well. There could be, but I'm not working on her other stories and problems yet. I just have to get through this one first. She will have probably 2 more stories to tell after this or the 2nd and 3rd parts of her story may be combined into one. Still haven't decided yet.

So who out there wants an idea about what my book deals with? If your sitting there yelling "I do, I do." then this is look no further. I don't have any info on it being for sale. Of it isn't even finished yet. I also haven't decided how I am going to go about publishing. I don't know if I'm going to go the traditional route and send it to Lit agents to see if and see if anyone is interested in my book(s) and willing to find a publisher to publish it.

So an idea of my book like I promise.

Jessie had been only 13 when she lost her parents. She seen things that most 13 year-old kids would never see. Those things she had seen were left weighing on her and causing her not to be able to move on with her life. She, her brothers, and new baby sister move in with their aunt and uncle and 4 cousins to a little town outside and opposite of the city that they had grown up in. It takes 4 years, which is where the story start, for anyone to realize that she had never gotten close to the way she had been before they lost their parents. Her older brother intervenes and forces her to face the truth of her feelings. 

If you think you might like to read something like this, then I hope at some point you will be able to. The goal is to finish, figure out how I'm going to go about getting it published, and get out there for the young adult masses to read, or anyone else who wishes to read it. To be forewarned this is for a little more mature audience. The character is 17. She has dealt with a lot and some of the scenes go into to details about how her parents were killed. They were not murdered. But it is something you will have to until it hits bookstores to read.

I want to thank you for reading. If you wish to know about me as an author and get more insights I do have a personal blog. http://jrtyger.blogspot.com/ that is where you can keep up with my likes and dislikes. Everything you want or need to know about me. I post as often as I can on that one. You will find just about everything about me outside of all of the writing and blogging. Be sure to follow both blogs to keep up-to-date on any and all posts!

Thank you readers!

Getting this out quickly

Okay,s o this is going to be quick. I just want to say I am grateful to anyone who reads this blog. I hate that I am keeping you waiting for a new post. I could be reading, but so badly want to get my own book finished. In will be the first one of at least 3 books. I hope!!! I will try and keep you updated.

As I was doing some research on something I was trying to find an answer to I came across something that may be a better route for me. So hopefully I can finish my own writing and get it published without the help of a publisher, or should I say the help of a traditional publisher. i hope to have this finished soon.

My only problem right now is that I am editing once again and this one part just doesn't make sense as it once has so I am rewriting it. I sat one night trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with my scenes and finally came to the conclusion that I wasn't giving a whole scene. I was just breaking it a apart and only giving bits and pieces of the scene. I hope I have fixed everything up til where I am stuck now. Then hopefully once I get past this stuck spot I can finish the editing and then figure out what comes next in the book. I got a block  as to what needs to be said not so much as what is going to happen but what will be said in the scene.

Thank you for the patience. I appreciate it very much. I would like finish this and read a book or two before I start book number 2. Thank you and watch for the next post! I apologize for it being so long for a check in. We had had a yard sale over the last weekend and it happen to take place at my mom's and my two little loves and I stayed there as so we didn't have to wake at 6 a.m. EST to get around and drive 20 minutes to her place.

Once again thank you!
