Well, I have finished the first season of Alayna and the Beast, my beauty and the beast reboot. In my reimagining, “Beauty” is a vampire hunter and the Beast had a wife who was also transformed. They team up to kick some monster ass and maybe fall in love.

I wasn’t planning on it being a cliffhanger. I wasn’t planning on a season two until suddenly at the end of the final scene, Alayna did something unexpected! Wow. A character hasn’t surprised me like that in a long time.

The good news for this story, which was crafted with Big World Network in mind, and thought the site is under new management it appears it will stay up and they are now taking submissions again. I’m hoping to see this story online soon and for free, dear readers! Though I came abide by doing my own audio recording anymore — it’s just too time consuming with a toddler!

I finished some books recently and you can read my reviews on Goodreads. Please follow my Facebook author page for updates. I’ve just started reading Beyond Black by one of my all time FAVORITE authors, Hilary Mantel. Not even done with the first full chapter to and I am already in awe of her descriptions and electrifying characterization.

Ahem, by the way Hilary, where is the final Cromwell book in your Wolf Hall series may I ask?!?!?

Much love. Read, write, rise up!
