New Releases and Addictive Reads
I love new things. The way it feels when you slide your foot into a new pair of shoes. Or the smell of a new car. Or that moment when you taste a new food and it’s SOOO good. Those are awesome moments. Especially the shoes… one never gets tired of new shoes, am I right?
But I also love new happenings. Things like a new book release, meeting new friends, and finding new opportunities. And guess what… all three of these happened to me in the last couple of weeks!
First, I finally finished another book.
Lenore’s Secret, a short story companion to the Haedyn Chronicles, went out to the reading masses on July 31st. Here’s the description:
Every secret has a price.
Only by taking the demon Azazel as a lover was Lenore able to gain advantage in the hierarchy of witches–an advantage that ensured her survival. But there’s a cost to every action, and now she has secrets to hide. To escape the outcome of her deeds, Lenore must seek help from a formidable species that she knows only from the terror filled nightmares of her childhood. Will the People of the Wood help her or is there a greater price yet to be paid?
This is a short story companion to the Haedyn Chronicles.

Writing this one got me back into the groove. I’d been fighting off a terrible block and having no luck at writing anything for such a long time. It felt really good to be back in my chair and putting words on the page.
Then, I was invited to be an ADDICTIVE READS author. I did a little jig in my chair when I read the invite. Seriously, I did!
I’d been admiring this group from a far… okay, maybe not that far. I mean more than half of the writers in this group are on my “FAVORITE – MUST READ” list. I’m talking about amazing authors like Gregory Carrico, CC MacKenzie, Rhonda Hopkins, Stacey Joy Netzel, Kristine Cayne, Sheila Seabrook, Nana Malone, Meredith Bond, Cate Dean and so many more.
So being invited to join this group was a stalker’s dream come true – er… total fan-girl moment.
I know you must be thinking, “Well, that’s all well and great for you, Jenn. But what’s that got to go with me?”
Well, ADDICTIVE READS‘ authors have one very important thing in common – we truly value our readers. Our goal is to provide well-written and entertaining books. 
On our website, you’ll find books from just about every type of genre there – all kinds of Romance, Fantasy, Mystery and Suspense, Thrillers, Horror, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Children’s, Non-fiction and more.
All these books in one place! It’s a book lover’s paradise!
And if you sign up to our newsletter, you’ll be the first to know about new releases, sales, events, giveaways, and more. Plus, from time to time, we might even have events or giveaway exclusively for our subscribers!
How awesome is that?!
See, that’s just one reason why I love new things! New friends for me and new opportunities to find great books for you!

Love the new short story, Jennifer. And I am so glad you joined us over at Addictive Reads. To be honest – I did a little jig in my seat when you accepted. LOL In the short time since you joined, you’ve become an invaluable member. Happy to have you in our group! 🙂

So glad to have you aboard, Jenn. I’ve been feeling a bit blocked myself lately. Perhaps working on a new project is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks for the tip!

Hi PJ!
Working on the short story really helped me. I will admit, in the beginning it was TOUGH. But I pushed through by giving myself really small goals. Those are easier to meet than the big ones. After a week or so, it started to flow again. I was ecstatic. Hope the same thing happens for you!

Grats on your new release, Jennifer!
We did a happy dance, too when you accepted the invitation to our top-secret world domination cabal disguised as a writer’s group. Oops, I probably wasn’t supposed to let that slip just yet…
C’est la vie! A very warm Welcome anyway!

LOL! Thanks, Gregory!
I suppose we’ll just have to up our timeline now that the secret is out… Muwahahahahaha!
