Confessions...

Lately, I've been asking myself one crucial question, repeatedly. I wake up everyday, before going to work, or class, or just before spending the day being plain lazy and going through an excruciatingly long writers block. So I scour the internet, looking for inspiration, which is my way of saying, new music, bands, the last Lana Del Rey unreleased demo, or a new book to add on my TBR list.

That question is: Are there people anticipating the release of your next book? Like, for real?

I mean let's face it. I've had my issues with Consume Me, and then there was the whole debacle before the release of Ignite Me, and now? Burn in me is coming along, slowly, but safely. I want the perfect ending to a story that represents so much to me, nobody could ever understand.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I have lots of readers, especially for someone who's not really making a living out of this business. I wish I could, but the truth is, writing is the one passion that I refuse to give up on, even though it doesn't pay rent, groceries, or anything really vital. So, except for the occasional Micheal Kors handbag and the growing number of editing software crowding my laptop, I'm just doing this for you, yes, you READERS.

I have readers from all over the world. It is astonishing for me to open my blog dashboard and find people visiting from different corners of the world, checking if I have something new for them to read or anticipate.

So, you see, asking that question is dumb, because I know I've earned every review from Amazon to Goodreads, and every occasional blog. Whether it's a good review, or a bad one, it's there because many of the readers are actually dedicated to their favorite task: Reading. For those who considered Consume Me a bad book because of the editing, they never failed to show their interest in the story, and their desire to just have better books with decent editing.

But for those who loved the story, those who saw past the first edition, and the ones who re-read the last edition, and those who felt for my misery, and those who waited and waited, and even fought on my Facebook page just showing how badly they wanted to read the rest of the story, those people, contributed to make me a happier person when writing.

I strive for every readers, with each like on Facebook, visit on Blogger, new reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, good, or bad, and I try to do my best to be better.

I don't know why I've decided to write this after a long absence from my platform. I was very apprehensive of the reactions to Ignite Me and decided to concentrate on Burn in Me so it makes it to your Kindles and reading devices. I just wanted to confess some of my fears to you. It's not an easy thing to do when you seem like you're rambling for no reason at all.

Worry not, I'm not here to waste your time.

I have an overdue of Thank You notes to the people who reviewed Ignite Me, and to a few people who wrote to me so many encouraging emails.

First of all:

Robyn Rivera: Again, you blessed me with your words of appreciation and managed to make me even more grateful than I already was. I have no words, but I love you and appreciate you, and your encouragements.

TYoung: Thank you for the review, and I can't wait for you to read the third one.

3awesomeboys: I love that you love the books, and I can't wait for you to read Burn in Me. I am very grateful.

C White: Clea and Landon love you too. So do I for your praise and your words. It means so much to me, especially with my latest doubts and ramblings.

S. Raymond: Your review is a testimony that I did a good job creating that roller coaster I wanted. Love isn't easy. Real love isn't flat and safe. It's supposed to make you question everything about yourself and the other person, it's supposed to make you ask the hard question: Do I accept it or do I change it. Real love is acceptance, and it's the hardest thing to do. Sorry for the cliffhanger though. As a reader, I understand your frustration, but as an author, I relish it and look forward to you getting the last p art of the story.
BTW: Challenge Accepted.

Christina Alvaro: Your email was such an astounding letter to read. I know I thanked you, and I hope all your questions have been answered to your satisfaction, but I will never thank you enough for believing in me.

Deirdre Lee: Thank you for the support and all the nice things you said to me. Also, I apologize for the cliffhanger, and I promise that it will be worth the wait.

Dana C: Thank you so much for your  kindness and your appreciation. Jenna is very dear to me, she's a mix of all my favorite people and I'm looking forward to explore more of her sass and ridiculous insinuations.

Moira: You too have a way with words, and your letter made my day brighter. I know I got it very late, but it reached me in every sense of the word. Love.

Thank you all.

That is all for my transparency report and thank you notes for now. I'll go to Goodreads and thank every person in a comment.

Really, I shall never ask that question again.

I promise a teaser of Burn In Me with a cover reveal for both my new books. Burn in Me and Blind Resilience.

I can't wait for you to find out more.
