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?”

Has anything “new” been happening in your life? Do tell!
Wow! Double congrats, Jennifer!!
Thanks, Kassandra!
How are things over at Misterio Press? You guys have added more authors recently, too, haven’t you?
Yup, Vinnie Hansen. Looks like a great bunch of writers over here!
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! 🙂
Thanks, Rhonda!
I love being part of the Addictive Reads team!
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!
Transparency?!?
Nooooooo!!!!
Jenn, congratulations on the new release and welcome to the Addictive Reads group!
Thanks, Sheila!!
