Just Breathe Anthology.

8/18/2018

I have always been upfront about the struggles I went through. I'm not one to shy away from talking about it because we need to discuss the things that make us. 

I lost my dad back in 2009. I was in a horrible place. I stopped caring about school, I couldn't cope to the extent that I began to suffer Insomnia and Depression. My dad was my person. A close friend of mine told me about To Write Love On Her Arms, that organization (back in MySpace days) was one thing that helped me realize I needed help. 

*******
In March, I reached out to a few close friends of mine in hopes of publishing an anthology. Just Breathe Anthology was born.

Each author was given a choice in a mental illness or mental disorder that they wanted to write about. Abuse, Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Erotomania, Grief, Insomnia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Mandela Effect, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Self-harm, Split Personality, and Suicide. 

The cover won't be revealed until sometime late September.
Release is scheduled for October 15, 2018.
GR link: http://bit.ly/JustBreatheGR
Vote for Just Breathe on October's Most Anticipated Reads list


******
From Ashes to Ashes, and dusk to dusk, there are those that Cocoon themselves in the Little Lies they tell.

When the Wreckage keeps them Awake at night, they see the Sickness In The Sunrise.

When their minds run through the Unbearable and Forbidden Sorrows. Until one day they find the thing that keeps them Grounded.

All while others feel the Hostile Takeover of their lives. The constant Loops and The Rows of Tattered Pieces and fragments that plague them. Sometimes those can’t be Purged, driving them to the Edge of Madness.

**
All proceeds from the anthology will benefit To Write Love on Her Arms. TWLOHA is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide**

Little Lies is my story. 

I chose self-harm. 

Blurb:
No one knows the lies I tell.
I tell them so well even to myself.
​One swipe of the blade across my skin and I feel alive, I can finally breathe. 

I don't need it, I can stop anytime I chose. See I told another little lie.

The Hunted, Surreptitious, and other news...

The When The Dark Wins anthology will be coming down in August 2018. What does this mean? 

It means I will be extending and releasing The Hunted as a prequel to a duet. The best part? Book one The Hunter AND book two The Huntress will be released as a duo. So no waiting around for the second. 

I have a release date for Surreptitious! Look for Roman and Martin to hit Amazon on August 30th! The cover is HOT *if I do say so myself* 

I mentioned doing a couple of co-writes the last time I was here... well I have a couple more in line for that too.
I am writing ALL THE BOOKS! 

Let's see what else... I hired a Personal Assistant *I'm all fancy like that* Megan is her name and if you follow me on social media you already know how fantastic she is. Seriously, she puts up with me daily AND she does the hard work so I can write. 

XOXO

/ Whew! This past week has been an insane ride for me. I took off a weekend so I could go hang out with a few friends at SaSS18. I had a blast but now I feel like I'll be behind... for..ev..er (yes I said that in my Sandlot voice). 

But I have all kinds of projects in the works, my co-write has now become two co-writes, one which will be a series. I'll have more on that as we finish. We are so freaking close to being done with the first!!

Don't forget to grab The Reaper while he is FREE!! Grab it here: Amazon 

And if you haven't heard Diamond B!tch is live on other retailers along with Amazon so she isn't in KU at this time. Amazon / Kobo / iBooks / B&N

Surreptitious and other news...

6/28/2018

I am currently working on a few new projects: Surreptitious, a small anthology piece, a secret book and a book in a completely different genre...Paranormal!

I know that my step into paranormal will not be for everyone. I will continue to write the angsty, mafia romance and romantic suspense so don't worry. 

I'm going to give you a tiny excerpt from Surreptitious!!



Website Exclusive Excerpt:
Shutting off the music, I walk out and run into Mateo. “Shower?” I ask, quirking my eyebrow.

Nodding, he follows me inside. I turn on the water and watch as he strips out of his clothes. I shouldn’t do this. It won’t matter to me but he seems too invested. I stand under the stream of hot water and lather my body, while he watches transfixed.

“Knees,” I command.

Dropping to his knees in front of me, he takes my cock in his hand. I don’t mind when someone sucks my dick. I don’t allow for them to be in charge, I have a need to control everything. Stroking me, he leans forward and takes me into his mouth. Grunting, I move my hips forward hitting the back of his throat. Gagging, he moves back enough to breathe and goes back for more. Mateo knows I love the sound of him gagging so I know he does it just to encourage me to be rougher. Gripping the back of his head, I don’t look down at him. I want to pretend it’s someone else. I drive in over and over not giving him time to catch a breath. It doesn’t take long before I come into his mouth. Mateo is glaring at me over my need to be brutal with him. One final look at him and I rinse away what evidence is left on me of my release.

DIAMOND B!TCH excerpt... website exclusive

6/5/2018

0 Comments

 

“Stop. Don’t touch me.”
Dropping his hand, Nico whispers, “Princesa, it’s just me. No one will hurt you again when I’m around, entiendes?”
Wiping the tear threatening to fall, I mutter to myself, “What happens when you leave me too?”
The man driving parks next to a plane giving me the out I need to distance myself from everyone. When he turns off the car, I scramble off of Nico, walking as fast I can. I am halted by the hand on my arm. I expect for it to be Nico, but it’s not, the other guy is looking at me with sympathy in his eyes.
“Senorita, you are not to blame for anything that happened in that place. You will get through this,” he reminds me.
“What’s your name?” I question, wondering who he is.
“Abraham,” he offers.
I can see Nico coming closer to us, his face showing his displeasure at the way Abraham is holding onto my hand. “Listen, Abraham, thank you but you don’t know what happened in there. You never will so save your sympathy for the person who asks for it.”

Would you be upset?

When I started writing I told myself that I would never force a story that I wasn't motivated to write. Here I am over 14 thousand words into Diamond Bitch, and I'm stuck. I stopped writing on this book maybe 3 weeks ago, long enough to write The Hunted (can be found in When The Dark Wins). I haven't 'felt' this story since then. I want to be devoured by my own books when I write them, so I may hold off on Diamond Bitch for a bit longer. I have the cover and I can't write it. Send alcohol. I think I need it. I love Amalia's story so for now I think I'm going to hold off on her. I hope you all understand. 

Until next time, Michelle

DIAMOND B!TCH excerpt...

4/24/2018

0 Comments

 

I'm currently working hard on DIAMOND B!TCH, if you didn't know this is Amalia's story. It will be a standalone spin-off which means if you haven't yet read the La Asesina Bonita series you can still read this one with no problems. As always this is unedited and subject to change at any time...

Picture
They hate me, but they don’t even know who I really am. They see the diamonds and the person I show to the world. They don’t know what I’ve lived through and they don’t know me. But they will. There’s a reason I’m called a bitch. This is my story. You better pay attention.

 Walking out with Nico and Amy, I don’t speak. I don’t know what to say — I never expected anyone to save me. I haven’t really been saved though. I left myself in that room, it seeped out of me like Melissa’s blood left her body — slowly dripping onto the cold floor, a stain on my soul that no one can wash away.

Piling into the car, Amy sits in what I’m guessing was the dead guy’s seat. I’m on autopilot, my movements aren’t my own. No, Nico takes it upon himself to decide where I will be all on his own. Pulling me on top of his lap, I can feel his hand running up and down my back pulling me into a memory. For a few minutes, I’m back in that room.

“Stop. Don’t touch me.”

Dropping his hand, Nico whispers, “Princessa, it’s just me. No one will touch you again when I’m around, entiendes?”

Wiping the tear threatening to fall, I mutter to myself, “What happens when you leave me too?”

I'm working on something new...

Excerpt from The Hunted...


If I should wake before I die… Then I’m finally free.


Running, I am almost out of breath. I can’t see anything around me due to the darkness and the fog that descended in just minutes. I didn’t think twice when I saw the bloodbath that waited for me in that cabin. My boyfriend, well what was left of his body painted the walls and the floor a bright red.


Snap. Ducking behind the tree next to me, I barely make it before the flashlight runs across the spot I was just in. Ever since I fled the cabin, I noticed that someone was chasing me. Someones. I have counted four beams of light, but we were supposed to be alone here. The park ranger said this place isn’t popular this time of the year. I understand why. The temperature is dropping fast. The snowstorm is supposed to come in the next twenty-four hours.

I'm learning...

4/8/2018

I'm slowly learning how to be a better writer, person, and how to do this author thing.

I know by now most of you, have either read a book of mine or at least heard of me right? I'm still in awe of the fact I've sold one copy. There have been days, even now that I want to throw it all away, go back to my bubble and never write again. I'm sure that my fellow author friends would kick my butt for that though. My betas would have to cross oceans but I don't doubt they would find a way to do it. 

What's the point of this entry? To let you know I am human. I am one of the few authors that reads every review, sees every share, much to the dismay of others in this business. As an author we are told not to interact on Goodreads, to not read the nasty reviews. I don't fit into any mold. I don't conform to the rules. I do these things with my head held high. If you like that kind of author then follow me on any social media platform (Okay maybe not Twitter because I haven't figured that one out yet). I answer all emails personally. For that one you can contact me on the page here. 

Until next time,
​Michelle
