Hello Goodreads!
It's been a long road for me and my books. I started writing back in high school and have submitted work to agents for over ten years with a lot of "almost" achievements. I held on and held out for that publishing contract for so long that the idea of self-publishing just never even occurred to me until this last submission I made to Llewelyn for my book called The Magic of Fabric. I made it through all their little hoops and jumps until my book got to the highest level and didn't pass the execs. They sighted things like I didn't use my "it's and its" correctly- ridiculous, I know the difference between a possessive and the shortening of it is. It was silly and I was so frustrated that they'd strung me along for over a year before blowing me off in such a way. But I'm thankful to Llewelyn because without that, I wouldn't have published my books.
Now, I've got two magic influenced books and six books of my paranormal romance series called The Godhunter for sale on Amazon. I also have three more of Godhunter done(hopefully the series will continue forever) and I'm dusting off and shining up some romance novels I wrote back in high school. I'm so grateful and humbled by the readers who have given my books a chance and made it possible for me to consider writing as a career.
Goodreads was recommended to me by a friend and I'm delighted to be a part of it. I've never wrote a blog, never thought anyone would really want to read about what I'm doing day to day but I decided to give this a shot. I'm big into the paranormal and most of my stories are based around this. I mean why have normal when you could have something beyond that. If I wanted reality, I would just live my life, not read a book. So I like characters that are unusual, my Godhunter series revolves around gods but these gods are the source of all the paranormal critters, so it really fulfills that for me. If these are things you like as well, you may enjoy reading what I write.
I hope I can entertain you all with my blog but this first post is just kind of a hello and how ya doing before I get started. So hello, Goodreads!

The Vampire-Werewolf Complex
So for years I've been that girl whose friends come to for advice, or just to whine to about their men. I'm the one they call at 2am, and I'm the one that gives them a smack and tells them to snap out of it. I see all the stupid things women do to get men and I sigh. "The book I could write about dating," I'd say. Until finally I decided, what the hell, I'm going to write one.
It came to me as I was in the half-state about to drift into dreamland that there's a reason women like the vampire-werewolf-human love triangle that seems to have become a Hollywood standard. These two monsters actually represent two basic types of men. I shot up in bed and grabbed my notebook, which I keep in bed with me, and started jotting down all the ways men fit into these two categories. I had ten pages before I finally got to sleep.
In the morning I started doing research. I already had years of experience watching men and women interact and years of experience writing about these monsters so it wasn't too difficult to research the mental issues behind what I'd observed. Thus The Vampire-Werewolf Complex was born.
In the book I list types of men under the two monster descriptions. You can look up behaviors that your man has and determine whether he is more vampire or werewolf. Then you can look up what to do to interact best with your monster. It's a dating guide for the modern woman.
I've just released it on Amazon and the price is very affordable since it's such a short book(90 pages) so I hope you'll take the chance on it and give it a read. If nothing else, it will give you a few laughs.

Book 13 Tracing Thunder
Hey everyone,
I know, I know, I haven't been posting on Goodreads. That's because I've been consumed with Vervain's blog on Tumblr. If none of you are on there, it's at http://vervainlavine.tumblr.com/
Anyway, just posting to let all of you know about my upcoming release of book 13 in The Godhunter Series, Tracing Thunder. It should be out on Amazon by the end of the month. I'm just waiting on my cover artist.
Until then, please check out the trailer, for some reason, Goodreads isn't recognizing this link, so I'll put it here until I can fix the problem.:

Thank you all for your loving support!
