Writing Updates February 2021

-


First of all, the day is getting closer and my new favorite book will be unleashed into the world of readers. I am beyond excited and I can't wait to hear how others feel about this amazing story. Feb. 27, 2021. Check it out on Goodreads at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55846898-fairytale-s-truth and mark your calendars! I already did lol.

I finished editing Peterson Estate 6: The Great Dark Witch. It is in the hands of my Beta Readers now. I'm super excited about that too lol. Yeah, I'm just all the way around excited. So far this year has gone as planned and I'm even ahead of schedule.

A couple days ago (Wednesday), I began writing Murder Through Time. I didn't want to just sit around as I waited for the Beta Readers so I may as well write lol. The story is coming along rather nicely. I worked on the cover too.

When I was looking at the thumbnail of the book, I was having some trouble seeing the title and author's name. The font was too thin so I decided to ask for a little guidance on it. A few other authors made some suggestions and noticed the image was off just a little so I fixed the problems of the picture too. And the shadow wasn't quite right so that was fixed lol. I think it's much better now. What do you think? There are some little touches that I will need to make before the official cover is revealed but I'm getting closer! Once I have my page count, I'll format the cover and add those touches. Plus I'll need to make another cover for the audiobook, which is a square lol. It'll be similar, if not exact.

So what is Murder Through Time about? It's about a time-serial killer....one who has been traveling through time killing the same woman. Now I had to ask myself what a person had to do to make someone want to kill them over and over again. I don't quite have an answer to that just yet but I'll be sure to ask him. Okay? 

Anyway........The detective is stuck in time with the killer, the dead body, and another version of the woman who hasn't been killed yet. He must keep the woman safe from the killer. The time machine is broken so if he fails, there's no going back to change things. This is the detective's last chance to save the woman. Will he fail? Or will he become Billie's hero?

Who is the killer? 

I'm not sure what the subgenre will be just yet. Mystery? Romance? Just plain Science Fiction? I'll have to keep writing and flesh it out, so to speak. I don't hear it in the story just yet. But I'm only 2 chapters in so who knows? It could be right there, it's possible I just haven't seen it yet lol.

So that's it on my writing updates. I look forward to talking to you again! See you soon!!

New Changes, Updated Website

  Link to Website I have many new changes to report. I have fully updated my website. The link is above. This is a screenshot of the top of the homepage. The top section will be changed when I am closer to releasing each new book when I have pre-orders available. So that's pretty cool. I have added a few new things to the site. I decided to check out other authors' pages and was inspired by one of my favorite authors, Stephen King. Of course, I don't have nearly as many books as he does so my pages are different but the ideas for design and some of the information were inspired by what was on his site. For instance, I now have FAQ information on my site. I will be adding to it as time permits. It can be found on the "about" page. His page was separate and the cool feature that he had on his page (dropdown) answers to the questions couldn't be repeated on my page. Still trying to figure that part out lol. I liked the area where he had a mini-menu for some of th...

The next book, coming this fall

-

Benjamin was abused most of his life. Upon his mother's death bed, she tells him a secret that sends him on a no-return journey--he was adopted. He hires a PI, only to find out that his biological mother has also passed away but the PI learns she had another son. Benjamin leaves his small town to head to New York to meet his brother for the first time. When he sees his twin brother, Benjamin snaps. He becomes something else--a killer. Will Benjamin be his own destruction? Will his brother's ghost be the hand that pushes him over the edge? This is a Paranormal Thriller. If you read Stolen Identity under my original pen name (Amber Rigby Grosjean) then you already know the story. This one is slightly different and without the naughty scenes which means anyone is able to read it. This will be the first book in the series Identity Collection. Reader beware: there are some intense scenes (murder).

  Hello, everyone. I have a treat for you today. I interviewed an awesome author. Her name is C. Phillip.

Please tell me about your books. I noticed you have 2 more on your website. Please tell us what they are all about. The Last Nautch Girl is my self-published debut novel. It's Book 1 in my historical fiction and murder mystery series, set in different cities of colonial India, featuring Indian classical dancers, British investigators, vigilante justice, serial killers, diabolic villains & much more. It follows the story of Mrinalini, a native ex-dancer in Kolkatta, who is secretly providing shelter in her home to five young men accused of the murder of Major Harold Armitage. Fiercely patriotic and hot-blooded, the men regard Mrinalini as “Didi” and trust in her completely while...
