Emotional Detachment (TRIGGER WARNING)
I have not written anything related to my novel series on paper in years. My brain has been writing, though. With time and distance from my initial writing, I have changed some of the background story on my main character, Cassie. Now, as I have said before, yes, every writer puts a piece of themselves in every character. But I struggled in the past with exactly *how* much of myself or my past toā¦
Intro
My second year as a teacher is drawing to a close. Prom was on Friday, and the kids were amazing! I loved seeing them have fun. I graduated on Saturday with my MA in Teaching. Accepted into the ESL Endorsement for the fall, and for the hell of it, decided to go for my MA in History, starting in January. Why am I doing all this? First, if I never stop going to schoolā¦I do not have to pay back myā¦

Oh, where to begin...
Itās been forever since I wrote here, and a lot has happened (and will happen). #1āI graduate with my BA in Anthropology and History, and minor in Classical Studies in December of 2023. #2āAlready been accepted to the Anthropology Masterās program at UofL. #3āWill be applying to a few more schools out West. #4āI am finally at the point where I have an āeditingā copy of Absolution printed andā¦

Life after Lockdown
I will not bore you with yet another post on the Covid-19 pandemic or lockdowns, vaccines, masks, testingā¦You have probably read enough about it and more than likely have personal experiences with any of the many topics about it. I will share some positives about my experiences during the pandemic, and yes, there has been some good that has come from it. #1āBF and I have dove deeper into ourā¦

We Don't Need No Education
We Donāt Need NoĀ Education
Actually, we do. Or more precisely, I do. I was able to re-enroll at Eastern Michigan University (left in 2008 to care for my mom) for the 2020 summer semester. You would not believe the hoops I had to go through to be able to go back. Since I left without officially withdrawing, I was on Academic Probation, and I also was not able to pay my loans to keep them current, so I was in default. Iā¦

Twitter-Verse
I have had a Twitter account (@cc_beau) for a while now. I wasnāt very active on it until last week. I finally realized that I needed to expand my social media presence.
Itās been an interesting experience. I wouldnāt have found out about things like #pitchwars, #MSWL, #writingcommunityā¦that has been amazing.
Itās quite different than Facebook, thatās for sure. Itās more instant. Newsā¦

#PitchWars
So, I did a thing today. An impulsive thing.
I submitted my work to Pitch Wars. Itās a yearly contest of sorts for writers to have mentors look at their work, help them edit and get it ready for agents.
Iām super nervous. But at the same time, excited. It would be wonderful to get help from published authors and editors to get me published.
I will keep everyone updated onā¦

Writing Music
Iām constantly listening to music, looking up lyrics, searching for songs that play on shows and movies in the backgrounds. Music is a passion of mine. I canāt play an instrument and I cannot singābut that does not stop me.
Music inspires me in my writing. I hear a song and I see a scene unfolding in my imagination. It helps me focus on the feelings I want to portray in my writing.

Vow, Novel 2 in the Absolution Series
Vow, Novel 2 in the AbsolutionĀ Series
As I shared before, Absolution started as just one huge ass book. But I didnāt want people lugging around a ten pound tome or carving out five hours just to download it. Youāre welcome! Ha!
Vow is Cassieās continuing story about her journey as a new vampire, one that was forcibly turned. Now that she has a few yearsā¦

Official Soundtrack to Absolution
Official Soundtrack toĀ Absolution
Since Absolution is as done as I can get it, I want to share the soundtrack. Each song is a chapter title, as is the title of the novel.
Enjoy the songs. I have such a varied taste in music, so I knew it was going come through the novels.
I have a Pandora playlist entitled āWriting Musicā which has all sorts of songs, most will make it in all the books of this series.
Some songsā¦

I'm Query Mad
Iām Query Mad
For the past week I have queried 28 different agents. I have already received five rejections. Iām not upset by the rejections. The truth is, this a tough door to open and you have to have thick skin to make it. And the thick skin isnāt just for the rejectionsā¦itās the reviews, itās the āfansā that will critique your book, itās for those that will hate you just because they can. Iām okay with itā¦

Absolution --Book Blurb/Jacket Cover
Absolution āBook Blurb/JacketĀ Cover
How many unsolved murders happen every year, without a body ever being found? Ā But what if they arenāt murdered, but taken and reborn as a vampire?
Cassie, a young mother, was taken against her will, in a violent and brutal attack. Ā She was ripped away from her calm life, only to be thrown into the world of the supernatural. Ā As she navigates her new life and comes to terms with what sheā¦

Dream Out Loud
I smiled when I felt his feet reach for mine before he fell asleep.Ā My mind was still going a million miles an hour and showed no signs of shutting off.Ā I focused on his breathing, enjoying the soft sounds.Ā We both laughed when we admitted that each otherās snoring wasnāt annoying nor did it inhibit our sleep.
āThank you, Universe for giving him to me.āĀ I softly said aloud.

āHi.Ā Is this the line for tickets?ā
That simple question has changed my life.
I would say that I couldnāt have written the last seven months if I triedā¦but in some ways, I just about did.Ā I need to go back November of 2018, so, curl up with your favorite beverage and get comfortable.
I purchased tickets back in July of 2018 to Louisville SuperCon.Ā My daughter and I love going to Comicons andā¦

Upsetting the AppleĀ Cart
I have started and stopped three different posts since March.Ā None of them came across the way I wanted them to.Ā But, after much thought and time, I feel that Iām ready.
Iām divorced.Ā It was final in May.Ā I guess in the world of divorces, mine was quite pleasant (is that even a thing?).Ā No fighting or screaming.Ā We filed together, even wrote out our own agreement.Ā We settled everythingā¦
