Ascendio 2012

Hello friends,

It's time to get excited about Ascendio 2012, a Harry Potter Academic Symposium! It will take place at the Portofino Bay hotel in my hometown, Orlando, FL from July 12-15, 2012.

Will you be there?

I'm not even going to lie- I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. The books, the movies, everything! To make things so much better, one of my favorite authors, Michelle Hodkin, is going to be there!!! So I'm for sure going. I loved The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Such a great book!

AND if you come on Thursday, July 12th, you can meet me :) I'll be doing authorly things, like signing books and whatnot. So please come! I would love to meet you guys and put faces to your names.

Foretell is on Sale!

Hey friends!

Amazon was about to give me a heart attack. I had soooo many difficulties getting this book online. But it is finally available and I'm very proud and excited to share it with you!

I didn't include a forward in the book. I'd like to do so here.

To My Readers,

Foretell is for you. Couldn't have done it without you-- that's the truth. When I wrote Wanderlove, I was extremely shy about my writing and didn't have much faith in myself. But somehow along the way, after reading all your comments, emails and praise (whether it be good or bad) I became more confident. So thank you, thank you, thank you. A million times thank you.

If you go back to one of my very first blog posts (here) I talked about being a closet writer. Writing is so exposing, but not always in a bad way. Every time I write, I share a little piece of my heart.  Don't roll your eyes at my cheesiness! Because I mean it :) The point I was getting at was that facing my fears was worth it. Even if I touched someone in a small way, such as entertaining them for the evening-- I'll know that I did that. And it means more to me than you could ever imagine.

I hope you all enjoy Rex and Essie's story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Their story truly is for you.

Love,

Belle

PS: Forgot to mention-- you can now purchase Foretell from Amazon HERE!

Print copies should be available soon :)

The eventual release of Foretell...

Hey friends,

It's 5:49 am where I'm at. Over the last 48 hours, I've been trying to get Foretell online for you guys, but with some great difficulties.

Technically, Foretell is available for sale. But you'll see all of Wanderlove's reviews showing beneath it on the Amazon page- Weird, right? I'm hoping they get it fixed soon. I promise to keep you updated and as soon as I have a link, I'll pass it on.

Changes

Hey friends!

If you've passed by my blog before you may notice some changes have been brewing. One of things I would like to point out is that Foretell has its very own page (see above). This is all very exciting for me because I made a playlist to go along with the book. I know, I know. It's just a playlist, but I adore music. Plus, I wanted you all to hear what I was listening to while working on Foretell. My favorite artist on this list is Ed Sheeran. I discovered one of his songs while watching The Vampire Diaries and have been a fan of his music ever since. Speaking of TVD, did you guys see the finale?? One word to sum it up: CRAZY.

So anyway, back to the subject at hand. I have another surprise for you guys too. By clicking on Foretell's page, you'll be able to sneak a peek at an excerpt. Let me know what you think! I love all your comments!

I hope you enjoy the music and the book. It will officially be released on Amazon June 24, 2012.

Foretell's Release

Hey friends!

Just wanted to let you guys know Foretell's release date is scheduled for June 24, 2012. I know it has taken much longer than expected and I'm truly sorry for making you wait so long. This story meant a lot to me and I wanted to tell it exactly how I pictured it. Now that Foretell is finally edited and finished, I can hardly wait to share it with you!

In a few days I will also post an excerpt, so look out for that. I'm currently in the middle of moving to Tennessee so I won't have internet for a few days, but as soon as I do I will give you guys an update.

Lastly, I just wanted to say that my readers have been so awesome. Every comment I receive from one of you on here motivates me and reminds me why I love this so much. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Foretell's Cover!

If you could provide anyone with the path to their deepest, darkest desires, would you?

Estelle Spencer has no choice.

With just a simple touch of her hand, wishes and dreams are instantly fulfilled. Her voice speaks of its own accord, lighting the way to good fortune.

But not everyone’s fortunes are desirable.

For most of her life Estelle hides in fear, living as a recluse in her sister’s shadow. Until the day comes when her existence is remembered.

Forced into running, Estelle meets Rex, a Romanian gypsy, and the only person who can help her hide. Together they search for a way to end the curse that controls Estelle’s life.

Before she destroys the world.

Coming June 2012!

News

Hello friends!

I just wanted to announce that I sent Foretell's book cover over to the wonderful Celeste at The Book Hookup. They will be revealing the cover on May 4th. I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think! I'm super excited about this cover because I believe it encompasses the heart of the story.

In other news, I've been thinking about how awesome all of my readers are, and also about how exciting the release of my next book is. That being said, I'd like to do something to share that excitement with you guys.

I'm thinking there is a definite giveaway on the horizon. So keep a look out for it ;)
