Okay so, in honor of the PRE ORDERS opening on JULY 1 (OMG! Only 6 days to go!), I decided to give you all a little taste of an important chapter of the book. Now, I know that I've posted the first three in the past, and they have all been amazingly well-received (THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH). Well, now I wanted you to get a glimpse at part of the book you've never read before. It's from one of my favorite chapters.
Enjoy! I'm dying to see what you all think of it.
Even though the morning was bright, it seemed to grow darker in the neighborhood they soon found themselves in, where the buildings rose higher and were more closely situated. The shadows that fell over the streets spoke volumes about the daylight’s inability to penetrate the brick maze.
David could not help but wonder if this was a part of the city his friends had warned him about. Now he understood, and was glad Charlie and Raven hadn’t let him come alone.
When they turned a corner a while later, Raven leaned forward. “I think that’s it.” She pointed towards a black Gothic building, its towers and spires piercing the sky. The street was a mishmash of seedy shops, filthy-looking restaurants, condemned apartment buildings, and dishonest-looking street vendors. People moved along as if the black building was nothing to them, but David caught several pairs of eyes glancing at the building and turning away quickly.
Scanning the structure, David couldn’t help but hope Raven was wrong about it being the one they were looking for. He felt small and unsure at seeing how alive and watchful the building appeared. His heart awoke with a thud, and took on a bothersome beat.
You know, when I sit and think about how much my life has changed just in the last six months, I have to stand back and wonder if it IS actually my life I'm walking through these days.
Six months ago, I was just a writer who was desperately trying to get my work out there. And ever since that day that TRIAD Publishing Group found and contacted me here on Myspace, my life has been an absolute whirlwind roller coaster ride that has been on a consistent upward climb.
I've been on the radio several times. I've been contacted by numerous magazines who want to interview me. I've made even MORE amazing friends as the days have passed by. Honestly, I have the MOST INCREDIBLE FRIENDS EVER, AND I LOVE YOU ALL!
AND.....OMG......Now, gauging from the response I've gotten here about the book, and the response my publishing house has gotten through their website, PRE ORDERS are expected to EXPLODE OFF THE CHARTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE FROM A DEBUT AUTHOR.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this for real? Is THIS really happening to ME? I feel like I'm walking on a cloud I just want to pitch a tent on!
It's just so hard to believe! I mean....I....I...I just...I'm speechless!
Thankfully, I'm not blogless.
I truly, from the bottom of my heart, want to thank you all for always being here to support me. Thank you all for the amazing friendships you and I now share. I can't begin to tell you all what you mean to me. I mean, seriously!
Now, don't forget, June 30, I'm going to be on BlogTalk Radio with the Fantabulous LESA at 8pm EST. I'm going to OFFICIALLY and FINALLY ANNOUNCE THE TITLE OF MY BOOK, and the WINNER of the CRACK THE CODE CONTEST. Plus, I'm finally going to actually TALK about the book and the series. TRUST ME, you DO NOT want to MISS THIS SHOW!
From what Lesa's told me, MY MAY APPEARANCE ON HER SHOW was the highest rated for the entire month. OMG! She told me I even rated well over a NY Times Best Selling Author!
WAIT? ME?
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! YAY!
So don't miss the show June 30. PRE ORDERS OPEN 2 1/2 hours after the show ends. So,And if you could spread the word, I would be FOREVER grateful, and WOULD NEVER FORGET IT:)
OH, btw, here's the banner about the PRE ORDERS of MY BOOK. If you could copy and post it on your page, oh god, what that would mean to me! I mean, HONESTLY, I can not begin to find the words to thank you all the way you DESERVE to be thanked and honored for the amazing friends you truly are:)
And come July 1, 2008, you can place your pre orders for THE BOOK (hehe...what, did you think I'd let the title slip?) through TRIAD Publishing Group's Website. By July 1, there WILL be info on how and where to place those orders.
GINORMOUS HUGS and HUMBLING YAYs:)
