Release Day - Destined for Fire, Book Three of the Alyx Rayer Chronicles!!!

What an exciting, bittersweet day!  The close of this series is official now as I've published to Amazon (and now Smashwords) and it's out there for the world to read! My hope is that the ending did the series and all of the characters justice. And I have to admit, I'll miss working on these characters and living through them in this series. I'm sure that sounds a little weird if you aren't a writer lol, but they become a part of you and plant themselves eternally in your heart.

To read the first two reviews of Book Three, visit the Bookworm Brandee Blog and Nomi's Paranormal Palace. They have been so wonderful and supportive of my work from day one, and I was thrilled to give them ARC's in advance to get their feedback.

Because I never did a cover reveal on my blog, I'll go ahead and share the cover with you now! Thank you, Brittany, for doing a brilliant job, as always. :)

Blog Tour - Last Day!!!

What a fantastic experience! :) A BIG THANKS to Giselle with Xpresso Book Tours for organizing and doing what you obviously do so well! I've built relationships with bloggers, and garnered new fans, reviews and exposure of my work in the process! I would most definitely recommend that any author (especially new) give blog tours a shot!

Now... on to today's stops. I'm pleased to share the link to the My Family's Heart Reviews blog, where Tonya reviews both Marked for Vengeance and Tethered by Fate, and shares her favorite excerpts! I have to admit, I loved how her enthusiasm radiated from her post. Such a wonderful affirmation when someone "gets" your characters and loves/ appreciates their characteristics as much as you do! Thank you, Tonya!

The next stop is Darlene's Book Nook with a guest post on the ten things you didn't know about me! How fun that was to write! :)

So sad the tour is over, but on to the next thing! Prepping Destined for Fire to be published in August!! So excited!

With Love,
~SJ

Summary Reveal for Destined for Fire, Book Three!!!

Two months from tomorrow I'll be publishing the last installment of the Alyx Rayer Chronicles, *tear* and you know how I like to release tidbits along the way. :D Granted, I'm not throwing you much, but it's something! Let me know what you think!


SUMMARY:

"Fire… this was her destiny. She would leave this world in fire and hopefully right all of these terrible wrongs."

In this final installment of the Alyx Rayer Chronicles, follow Alyx and Micah as they travel back to the hell that once was Earth in search of Serpious and his legion, as well as the only thing they have left to care about now - revenge.

May not be suitable for YA.



And because I'll be wrapped up in family stuff tomorrow, I'll go ahead and announce the monthly winner of the Amazon Gift Card a day early! :)

Congratulations, Harper C.! Thank you for signing up for my mailing list!

Love to all!

Girl on Fire

Listening to music as I'm writing my third and final book of the Alyx Rayer Series, Destined for Fire, and Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire" song came on and I thought to myself, now THAT would be a great soundtrack song for this book!

Like I've mentioned before, music and writing go hand in hand for me, so I've decided to share at least one song that particularly inspired me while writing each book in the series:


Book One: Enchanted by Taylor Swift




Book Two: Turning Pages by Sleeping at Last



Book Three: Girl on Fire
