It’s a Happy Christmas & Book Release Day!

Kylie O’Rourke has unwittingly walked into the path of two vampyres—one who wants to use her as a sacrifice, and one who only wishes to win her heart. As she is pulled into their clandestine world, she learns more about her history and the reason behind her horrible nightmares. Master vampyre Cianán searches for the one woman who could take his immortality to the next level—godhood. But, when he finds his Chosen One, his progeny Grantlund stumbles onto the Master’s plan . . . again. As if losing his first sacrifice to the bastard wasn’t enough, the Fates were to torment him with a second time.

Rules of Editing – Part III

In Dreams…Or How Ideas Come to Me

I like to keep a file or doc for ideas--blog ideas, book ideas, short story ideas--but today's post comes from one I'd posted on another blog a couple of years ago. I'm revamping it a little to suit today's needs, and I do apologize for the lateness of today's post. I've been kind of busy… Continue reading In Dreams…Or How Ideas Come to Me

Interviewed by a Vampire – R.C. Murphy

Darling minions, please welcome author R.C. Murphy to My Reality today. She has a new book out (and it's awesome) that she's promoting, and my vamp Shawn has decided he'd like to interview her.

The Nemesis Playlist

Most of this post was originally published on Derek Hawkins' blog Brain Drippings. When I first started writing Nemesis, and pretty much any book before it, I didn't listen to music like most writers do. I have ADD, so I'm distracted quite easily. I needed total solitude and mostly silence, so I sat outside on… Continue reading The Nemesis Playlist
