Description:
I had no life…
For the past ten
years, I’ve been kept away from the world, treated as a danger to those around
me. While the visions I have both confuse and frighten me, I know I’m not the
dangerous one in the family. Escape has never been within my reach. When my
father dragged me along on an expedition to an ancient temple, I discovered a
door hidden in the wall, and everything changed.
He would live
forever…
After freeing a vampire
from his stone prison, I was swept away to the island belonging to his coven.
He swears none of them will harm me, but I can’t be so sure. Zachary is
convinced he knew me before he was imprisoned—three hundred years ago. He tries
to get me to remember our shared past…while I find myself more concerned with
our future.
My blood could end them…
My blood could end them…

Finding Time
By Ashley Jeffers
The people that know me
personally, and know I am responsible for three children under the age of five
(my husband works about 12 hours a day), often ask me when I find time to
write. The answer is whenever I can.
I’ll find something to occupy
my kids, open the laptop, and just write, even if it’s only for five or ten
minutes. I always have a notebook with me, usually in the center console of my
car, or in my bag. My youngest two tend to fall asleep in the car, so on days
they’re fussy and I can’t get them to go down, I’ll take a drive until they’re
out, then I park and write. This works better when my oldest is in school, as
he doesn’t nap anymore (bummer), and I’m lucky if I get a half hour, but at
least it’s a half hour of quiet time to work!
Most of the time, I don’t get
to do anything until after I’ve put the kids down to bed, which happens to be
just before 9 pm. This is if I’m lucky. They don’t like to go down without a
fight. Even then, it’s not distraction-free writing time. The hubs will have
the TV on, or want to talk, so in total, I might get another half hour of
writing time before I go to sleep around 11.
Now that I’m putting this down
on paper, I’m realizing how little time that is. Realistically, I’m lucky if I
get 3 hours total of time to write. I’m sure my husband would disagree with
that number, as he thinks that’s all I ever do, but if I’m honest with myself,
I’m lucky to get that much time.
I happen to be a night owl, so
working at night doesn’t bother me. In fact, I think I probably write better
stuff at night, when I’m not getting up constantly to break up a fight or feed
kids, or pick up some sort of mess they’ve made. I can actually FOCUS then. But
if the muse is whispering to me in the middle of the day, I can’t ignore her.
Sometimes, much to my husband’s dismay, the laundry or the dishes just have to
wait a bit. It’s not like they’re going anywhere (unlike my kids).
The point of this is, no matter
how much or little time I have, I just have to write. It’s what I love. Yes,
this means it can take me longer than I hope to finish stories, but as long as
I JUST WRITE every day, I’ll eventually get them all on paper.
