A little Snippet for Murder Through Time. Plus updates

-

 It was time Marcus needed to move to the next step of protecting Billie. It wasn’t enough keeping an eye on her and watching for Charles to make his debut. He pulled a pair of glasses out of his pocket, unfolded them, and placed them on his face. He pressed the button on the side to open the protective shield. He could feel the invisible armor wrap around his body. He was glad he had them. He pulled the second pair out of his pocket and tossed them at Billie. Quietly, he told her to put them on and press the button. He wasn’t sure who the man on the other side of the door was, but he wasn’t going to take any chances. He looked at Ryan. “Do you still have a pair?” 

 “Yeah, they’re in the kitchen. I’ll get them.” Ryan rushed out of the living room, leaping over the coffee table. 

Marcus slowly opened the door a crack and peeked out. “May I help you?” 

“Thank goodness someone is home. I’m sorry but my car broke down and I need help.” 

“Do you have a cell phone?” Marcus asked through the open crack. 

“Yeah.” 

“So, call a tow truck. I’m sorry, I can’t help you.” He closed the door. After hearing his voice, he knew who the young man was. He had never seen Charles when he was younger, now he had. 

“What did he want?” Ryan asked. 

“His story was he needed help with his car, but he ain’t no stranger.” That was all he needed to say. 

Just then an alarm went off, and it was loud. Billie covered her ears as her eyes widened and her skin turned pale. “Is that him?” 







As of this moment, 16 chapters have been edited. There are a couple minor areas within those pages that need a quick run-by and polish but otherwise are done. 113 pages are finished and I have 114 more to go, so I am officially at the halfway point. I am super excited about this story. I cannot wait for it to hit the cyber shelves so everyone has a chance to explore this new world and fall in love with Marcus and Ryan, as they share the spotlight. Both men are hot. If I had to choose, I'd have to go with Marcus because he'd take a bullet for me. 


During the month of August, to celebrate the release at the end of August, I will be sharing facts about the story on IG and my FB page. My IG page is Instagram.com/a.r.grosjeanauthor and my FB page is https://www.facebook.com/WriterA.R.Grosjean So make sure you join me for that. It'll be fun!


My plans for July are going to be pretty simple. I will be editing Murder Through Time until it is done and all the commas are where they need to be, it's polished, and all the plot holes are filled in. Then I'm going to begin the formatting process. The pages will be sized, indexes will be corrected, chapter titles will be changed, where the chapters begin will be adjusted, etc. It'll be fun. I haven't decided all the details yet but when you open the book, I want you to love it. The things writers go through for our readers--amazing yet hard work. As a reader, I've come to appreciate a good book more now because I've gone through the process.


I will also be celebrating on the 4th with my kids. Not sure if it's going to be on the 4th yet or not. Waiting for that. I'd love to have fireworks with the grandkids because they do like the pretty lights.


I believe that's everything for today's post. Be sure to stay tuned for the next blog entry. Have a great day/night!

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. I've had her and her books in my newsletters so I had to come up with some new questions to ask her lol. So here they are. I hope you enjoy her answers and give her books a try! They are awesome! 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...
