Something You Didn't Know

Hey all! Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I've been crazy busy working on my next big project. I know I've been pretty tight lipped about the whole thing, and a lot of that is because I'm afraid to jinx it. But, I've been doing some final touch ups on it all day, and I'm feeling pretty good about it tonight, so I've decided to throw you a tidbit.


The title of my work in progress is: DISSIDENCE


According to Old Mr. Webster, dissidence it defined as: 


dis·si·dence 
Function: noun
Definition: DISSENT, DISAGREEMENT 


Take from that what you will. I know it isn't much, but I promise more, including a cover reveal and official blurb, will be forthcoming in the next few months.

For us old fogies . . .

or anyone else who still prefers the feel of paper in their hands, and the turning of a physical page while reading a book . . . Screams in the Night is now available in paper back!!!

Things Are Rolling

Been a crazy busy week and I'm more than ready for a weekend long nap. Yeah right! I'm almost caught up on the edits to my manuscript, the anthology Screams in the Night including my story, Our Own Worst Enemies, became available in eversion this past month, and the line including my newest story, How We Came to Be, launches sometime this month (so keep an eye out for that). I've also begun work on a new project,which puts me with three active projects as well as two in the editing phase. Whew! Did I mention I need a nap?

Annnd, there goes the rabbit . . . being chased by the dog . . . and the bird is sqwaking louder than a siren. Guess that's my cue to rejoin the real world and sort out the chaos of this zoo I live in, or maybe I should just dive right back into my writing and deal with all of that later . . . hmmm :)

And, if you'd like to escape reality for a little while, as well, because everyone does . . . check out the epic giveaway Prose by Design is hosting! It's enough reading material to keep you firmly planted in the land of make believe for a good long while ;)

5 Star Review for Temptation!

A big thank you to the lovely Lisa of Lisa's Reads for the wonderful review of Temptation.

"Usually, I am not one for novellas. I find them to be too short, too rushed, and too forced. I get sucked into the stories that I am read, with short stories..by the time I identify with the characters the story is wrapping up. This was not the case with “Temptation”. Ms. Canosa managed to put more story in 94 pages than some authors are able to do in twice that amount.

When we first meet Melody, she is moving boxes from the moving truck into the home she and her mom just moved halfway across the country to live in. Her mother works a demanding job that keeps her away from home at all sort of crazy hours. School has just let out for the summer and Melody has no place she has to be..translation…no forced way of making friends. It’s a shame that the beautiful boy, Lucas, who lives next door seems to need an attitude adjustment. So it’s a good thing that she meets funny, helpful, and handsome Jason when she goes into town to grab a quick bite to eat. When both boys start to take an interest in Melody and both warn her against the other, the love triangle starts to heat up. Things aren’t always what they seem and Melody is beginning to think that something may be slightly…off. While the premise of this story may not be completely original, Ms. Canosa makes up for it with her ability to “show” and not “tell” the story. Ms. Canosa’s descriptions allow her readers to actually watch the story unfold without the over telling that can sometimes come with too many unneeded words. Melody, Jason, and Lucas are vibrant and colorful. They are fresh and easy to fall in love with (but maybe that’s a bad thing..hmm?!) I really enjoyed every page of this story. I was sad when it was over! There is so much more that this new author can write about these characters and I want more!! This could be a series."
