It’s great that we’re nearing Valentine’s Day because I’m currently writing love scenes for both of my characters. If only these books were coming out sooner so I could give more details than that. But alas, I certainly can’t spoil what you’ll be reading in book 2, can I?

Thanks!

Press Release

So here’s the first press release for my debut novel. Check it out…

January 11, 2012
For Immediate Release
Contact: Kirk Cunningham, Head Publicist: (801) 380-4503 | kirk@jollyfishpress.com
Jolly Fish Press to Wage War Between Vampires and Immortals
Spring 2013
PROVO, UT—Jolly Fish Press (JFP) has successfully acquired the North American
distribution and publication rights to Adrienne Monson’s debut novel, Dissension.
Dissension, the first of three books in The Blood Inheritance trilogy, is an explosive
novel about the unending war between two seemingly unstoppable races—Vampires
and Immortals—in their search for the prophecy child who was destined to bring them to
their fall. The first to find the child may have the chance to survive. Steering away from
conventional vampire literature, Monson redefines the age-old myth and inception of
vampires in a fresh and original concept. Dissension is slated for a Spring 2013 release.
Monson, a winner of the 2009 Oquirrh’s Writer’s Contest and the Utah RWA’s Great
Beginnings, has already immersed herself in different kinds of fiction since a young age,
but she has always found herself to have a voracious appetite for vampire novels.
JFP is a newly established independent publishing house based in Provo, Utah. Its
editorial board consists of a team of associate editors who’ve worked on editorial
projects for Houghton Mifflin, Allyn & Bacon, Pearson’s Group, and Harper Collins to
name a few.

See All Evil

admin1 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:44:48 +0000

See All Evil has been nicknamed by many the “2012 book” because it links to the two thousand twelve prophecy from the Aztec calendar, properly known as Eagle Bowl. The research made on behalf of the 2012 book has included prophecies from other societies as well as the Aztec calendar. The Mayan calendar also predicts the end of the world in December of two thousand twelve, along with the ancient Chinese oracle calendar, the I-Ching.
Just about any calendar based on the stars has calculated the world to end in 2012. The Egyptians looked to the stars to divine the future. One of their pyramids makes a reference to “The Serpent Holder” appearing in the year two thousand and twelve.
There has even been theories of the FreeMasons embedding code into the pictures carved in the gothic cathedrals in Europe. In this code, there is speculation that a warning of 2012 is written.
With all of these civilizations spread over the entire globe, the 2012 prophecy has proved to be an interesting topic for almost everyone.

Leisha’s Wedding Day – Africa, 30 BC

admin1 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:43:47 +0000

Leisha could not have been any happier. Her life felt euphorically complete as she snuggled up to her new husband in their new hut. Her father had helped Tafari build it as a wedding gift. Not many in the village were so fortunate as to have their own home when so recently married. Leisha had felt like royalty when her father had told her what his gift to them would be. The place was small, with only one room, but it was much more than she had ever dreamed.

She sighed as she thought of their wedding earlier in the evening. Since her father was the village shaman, he was able to marry them. It had been a simple ceremony, but the celebration afterward had lasted well into the night. She knew that her fellow villagers cared more for the drinking and dancing around bon fires than celebrating her marriage. She was not very loved amongst them, but she still had felt important as the guest of honor. She had, in fact, glowed with happiness. She laughed softly to herself as she realized she still glowed with that same feeling. She was free to love and be truly happy.

Tafari stirred from his light sleep and opened his eyes. Leisha gazed into his beautiful silvery blue eyes and grinned. “I believe I am in heaven, dear husband.”

He smiled back. “Is that where we are? The gods have favored us to give us a paradise to retire in together.”

She giggled like a little girl, then flushed at her silliness. Tafari stroked her cheek. “I love your fair skin, and how easily you blush. It is so very becoming.” He chuckled. “I did not realize that taking your virginity would make you blush so.”

Thinking of the pleasure she had shared with him earlier made her blush a bright red. Tafari laughed some more, a carefree, deep belly laugh.

“Tell me that you are turning red from pleasure and not from shame,” he teased.

“You know I enjoyed it,” she stated as she wrapped her arms around his neck and burrowed deeper into his arms.

“Yes, I noticed,” he said huskily. “Just thinking about all those sounds you made makes me want to have you again.” He stroked his hands down the length of her. “I feel like you are a magical instrument and that I am the only one who knows the secret of your wonderful music.”

Leisha’s heart began a more rapid pace as he began to nibble lightly on her ear. “Yes,” she purred. “You are the only one, Tafari. My love.”

He began to stroke her with his fingers and proceeded to pluck a melody from her that lasted all through the night.

I’m getting Published!

It’s been a long road, filled with ups and downs. I received an email from a publishing company last night which made me as giddy as a school girl. It was akin to when we had our first child (almost). My husband and I called all our family, we posted it on Facebook, and generally celebrated.
