New Year's Goals + Tiny Teasers for upcoming novels

Happy New Year everyone!
     I am not generally one to make New Year's resolutions, (and I would have a really hard time keeping them anyway) but I do plan to make 2015 a great year for my writing. The end of 2014 saw my first live interview (on Zombiepalooza internet radio) and my first live book signing (at Czech Out, a gift shop in Kellnersville, WI). My goal for 2015 is to continue to do more book signings and events in order to spread the word about the Earthshaker Series. (Still pretty new at this stuff, so any suggestions are welcome!)
     I also plan to publish Secret Power, a children's fantasy novel. Not sure on exact date yet, but I am working on it. In addition to Secret Power, I am still working on Soul Warriors vs Witches- a dreampunk novel I am writing with Joseph and Marisha Cautilli, and Oblivion- Earthshaker Series book four. Another hope is to finish the sequel to Secret Power- The Betrayal, and possibly publish my mystery novel- Fear.
     Outside of writing, I plan to do some training of our puppy, retraining of my dog, and to do more riding of both horses.
     Quite a few goals, I know, but I am hoping to at least accomplish some of them. What are your goals this year?

     Teaser: Secret Power:

     Alex looked around at the strange area where they had landed. He glanced down and saw Varina, still unconscious, on the ground in front of him. Cade and Kara were with Jessica, making sure her ankle wasn't any worse than it had been in the clearing. One of the first things Alex noticed about where they were was that it was daytime. The sun was shining, and he heard what must have been some kind of birds singing. He was majorly freaked out, but he knew he had to keep it together in order to help Varina. He knelt down by her and checked on her breathing and her pulse, which both seemed normal. Looking for water, Alex saw a stream about fifty feet away, went to it, and soaked his shirt in the cold water. He went back to Varina and dabbed her face with the cold cloth. She began to stir, and her eyes fluttered open. "What happened?" she asked weakly.
     "To tell you the truth, Varina, I have no idea!" Alex threw his arms over his head in confusion. "We were in the clearing, and you passed out. Your necklace did something weird and dragged us into a portal or something. Now I don't even know where we are!"


Teaser: Oblivion: Earthshaker Series book 4:

     "What was that?" I asked, staring up at them intently.
     "Just something to make sure you aren't able to disappear on us. It isn't something that will hurt you, but it will tell us your location in case you manage to get away during our initial testing," the second man explained.
     The man in charge spoke while his friend stuck a little bandage over the injection site, "Getting away is not likely. If you try, you will be punished."


Teaser: Fear:

     Kerry agreed, and after deciding he would drop Hunter off at her house on Friday, she left so Ryan could get ready for work. After she left, Ryan went to check his mail, and found another envelope from his stalker. He sighed as he entered his apartment again, and opened the note. There were only two words on the page, but they chilled Ryan's blood as none of the other notes had done before. The note simply said: NICE GIRL.
     Ryan immediately went to the phone, but he wasn't sure who he should call. The cops had given up his parent's case years ago, and they would have little luck finding the killer now. His uncle didn't even know that he was still receiving notes. And Kerry...Kerry didn't know anything about what was going on, and Ryan wasn't sure if she would be in danger or not.


     Just a small taste of what I will be working on in the near future. Let me know which books you are looking forward to! :) Have a great 2015 everyone!
