Indie Editing

So I just wanted to take a moment to vent because this issue truly drives me nuts when it comes to reviewing indie novels. When I read a novel, I am reading the story and trying to enjoy the story line, understand the characters, and try to figure out what will happen. The last thing I care about is how well a novel is edited. Granted, I can see it getting frustrating if the entire book is mainly an error but human error happens!! Editing is not a perfect thing. Even on the most well loved, well known novels, I have found misspellings, missing punctuation, etc. Why is it that people can't just read a story for the story without acting like they are the editing police?

Bound Together update!

So after a lot of thinking and writing, I have come to the conclusion that this novel is never going to fit into one book. Depending on how this story evolves (which it has become a completely different story than I first planned) will depend on how many installments there will be :) 

Now when I first started this novel, I knew that it was going to include a strong female character, a hunky counterpart and a bad guy. But to my delight, it has become so much more than that!!! Knowing where I am now at chapter 13, there have been a lot of unforeseen events that just happened to cross my mind at the perfect time. 

I am hoping that at this rate I will be able to release it no later than the beginning of 2014 but I am hoping that it will make it out by December!!! I will keep you all updated on the books status!

Contemplating a giveaway

I have been trying to decide if I wanted to do a giveaway of Intuitions Nightmare or not now that it is available in print. I guess I just don't know how to go about it so I have yet to do anything. I have one copy of the original 4 books I bought and want to sign it. My problem lies with whether or not there is anyone that would want to participate! 

Check me out on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AshleyNPearce2 

If I can get enough response to this, I will be doing the giveaway!!! Make sure to leave me some feedback if you want the opportunity to win a free signed copy!! I also want to give 3 copies of the ebook format too!

Bound Forever

Decided to share the first half of my prologue for the new book. I believe it is going to be called Bound Forever and I am hoping to have it finished by the end of summer!!

Prologue

We thought we knew everything. We thought we had it all figured out. We thought wrong.

We lived in an endless chasm of violence, war and the death that followed. None of us were safe and as we destroyed ourselves, the world that we knew and had grown accustomed to, slowly melted away. Those of us born after The Great Separation only knew stories of what once was.

In 2043, World War III broke out leaving Earth’s populous as a whole, broken and in constant fear. There was endless talk of our end coming for the second time in a century and in a big way, this was the end. Not the end of life, but the end of the free world and the end of what we knew.

Many of the world’s governments were left in shambles, while others dissipated completely. All of the countries of Europe and Asia were massacred in the war. The land was left barren, uncharted and completely toxic. Africa was wiped out by a plague only two years prior to the war.

In 2047, the war was deemed over when The Great Separation took place. All of the countries that were left at the end of the war, came together to separate their people. It was the last time anyone would know what was happening outside of their own country. It was the last time the world leaders would ever speak. The idea behind this being that war would never become an issue again if countries couldn’t get involved with each other.

Those in power put more laws, regulations and punishments in place to keep the people under control. They used fear against us. Families were separated indefinitely and The World Separation Act was put in place. The country you were in when the act was instated was the country you were now a part of. We were their property. We were not allowed to leave and we were not allowed to contact those outside of our own borders.

The United States was now known as just America because the states were said to cause too much internal conflict. Of the surviving countries, America was the most drastically changed and the most negatively affected. It was the land of the free but now was the home of the broken and divided. The freedoms that our grandparents fought for were now only a part of history. The government of democracy was lost with the war and a new form of communistic socialism was born.

Our control came from a powerful group of wealthy men. They had been influential before the war and the people had trusted them to bring America up from the ashes and back to a powerful and wealthy state. We the people trusted the wrong power. They stripped America of everything that made the country free.

An idea born :)

So basically my second book has a very similar story to Stephanie Meyers twilight story. And what I mean by that is that I came up with this idea the same way she says she came up with that. I'm not a vivid dreamer by any means. If anything I would say that I usually don't remember dreams and if I do it's because my life was threatened in some way.

This dream was the most vivid dream I have ever experienced. It was like watching a movie in my sleep. I had no part in it and the story was literally mapped out for me. The moment I woke up, I wrote this story in my notebook! My son, Aiden, who is only 3, looked at me and asked me what I was doing and I said, Mommy, just had a book worthy dream and I'm not forgetting this idea! He smiled and said that's nice. LMAO.

Book #2 in the works!

Apparently deciding on a title for this book is becoming more and more difficult!

I do have most of the main characters decided and named though so that's a good start.

Camille is my main character.

Josiah is her love interest.

Amelia is her best friend.

Roman is the main antagonist.

I don't want to get into too much detail with this just because it will: 1. give away the story and 2. It has the potential to be a very amazing story so I want to keep it as "top secret" as possible.

Working on Chapter 3

I have about half of chapter 3 finished and am still trying to figure out how to get this story to end up where I want it.

"I sat down a few inches away from him and felt irrationally distant. The strong urge to be so close was unnatural."

New book in progress

I just recently had the most amazing dream that I instantly knew would be completely book worthy so I woke up and wrote it down! I now have the prologue and the first chapter written down and am working on chapter 2. I am thinking it will be called Bound but I'm still not set on that title.
