Chasing the Mullet “GOLD” since 1996 at the Florabama

I have been chasing the Mullet “GOLD” and throwing fish from Alabama to Florida since 1996. I have been competing for three decades, now that’s scary. LOL During the early years, when I was in my forties, the competition was so fierce I was rarely able to qualify.

Unfortunately, in 2009 and 2010, I was unable to reach the podium, but knew I would have another opportunity next year.

There was no Mullet Toss held in 2005 and 2006 because there was no Florabama. Hurricane Ivan had ravaged the area.

I am happy and proud to display my trophies for your viewing pleasure. Please be sure to go HERE to see what all the ruckus is about.

The Breeders by Katie French
“The Breeders is a YA dystopian read that’s as gritty and dark as the cover and title suggest. It takes a look at how society might devolve if females were commodities: bought, sold, stolen, and traded to keep the dwindling human race going. Frightening concept. I loved it.” –A.G. Henley, author of The Scourge

What’s up with taylor dean!!!!

Fresh from taylor dean. To check out her blog, go to Joshua’s Folly.

Joshua’s Folly
.
Coming your way by the end of March 2013!
.
So, what’s the hold up?
.
Proof copies of Joshua’s Folly are currently being read by some early readers. If they like it, I’m ready to publish. If they don’t like it, it’s back to the drawing board for me!
.
Why put so much faith in my early readers?
.
I trust them. They tell me what they think of the book; no holds barred. They’ve never steered me wrong in the past. If they feel major changes are needed in the novel, I’ll make them.
.
I don’t send a book out to my early readers unless I feel it is READY. I’m happy with the book as it stands.
.
That being said, I cannot publish a book without having others read it and tell me what they think of it! I NEED a second (and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth, etc.) opinion. I need fresh eyes to peruse the novel and tell me what I missed. Are there logic errors? Are there huge mistakes? Another set of eyes will see what I missed. I’m too close to the manuscript. If there are mistakes, I can no longer see them.
.
Sorry for the delay in releasing this book! Thanks for being patient. But I have to be sure I’m putting the best possible work out there for the reading public!
.
After proofing Joshua’s Folly several times on my computer, I thought the book was complete.
.
Then I received my proof copy.
.
As usual, I found just a FEW edits!!
Reading a book you are holding in your hands is a different experience than reading it on your computer. You see things you wouldn’t normally see.
.
Like, the, fact, that, I, often, put, commas, where, I, don’t, need, them!
.
I’ve become a ‘comma nazi!’ I pause at every single comma and ask myself, “Is this comma needed?”
.
My final edits are complete. We’ll see what the consensus is from my early readers!
.
In the meantime, I’m getting to work on edits for my next book, FOR NICK!
(coming your way in June 2013!)
.
I think this might be my favorite cover . . .

Blood Warrior (The Alexa Montgomery Saga, #1)The Alexa Montgomery Saga

Blood Warrior:

When her home is attacked by murderous vampires, 17-year-old Alexa is forced to leave her mother for dead in order to save her sister. She soon learns that she is the last known member of an elite race of supernatural Warriors, and is thrust into a world full of vampires and werewolves who all seem to regard her as some sort of savior. Meanwhile, Alexa battles a monster within herself that seeks to gain control; a monster that seeks blood.

The hidden city she finds herself in appears perfect, but Alexa’s instincts tell her that all is not right within its walls. When she is asked to attend a school of fighters, whose exams consist of gladiator-style competitions, she must decide who she can trust among the smiling faces. And, when she meets Kayden, a vampire she feels undeniably drawn to, she must decide if she can trust herself.

Half Black Soul (The Alexa Montgomery Saga, #2)The Alexa Montgomery Saga

Half Black Soul:

In the past few weeks Alexa Montgomery has had her entire world flipped upside down. She’s gone from living a semi-normal teenage life to a life full of vampires and werewolves who all expect her to deliver them from the control of an evil dictator.

Alexa is the last of her kind; a Sun Warrior, and now she has left the safety of Two Rivers to search for her mother, but she’s left her sister behind to do so, and Nelly is the one person that she was told that she must always protect. Kayden, a vampire who is Alexa’s other half, has followed her on her journey. But, secrets are about to come out, relationships will break and danger lies just up ahead. Will Alexa be able to get through all of this and make it out alive? And, will she be able to protect Nelly from danger when she is so far away?

JoeOther books by H.D. Gordon

Joe:

From the author of the Alexa Montgomery Saga, comes a book that will take you into the mind of a genuine psychopath, the lives of six ordinary people, and the world of a very special girl named Joe.

Joe is seemingly an ordinary college student. She works, studies and reads. But in between these activities Joe has a gift that promises to add a dose of color to her life at any given moment. Joe sees things before they happen. Bad things, and the worst thing she has ever faced is just around the corner. Someone is planning a massacre at the college university that Joe attends, and the only person with a hope of stopping the psychopath is her.

Oh, the beauty of foresight. More like a curse. Joe has four days to figure out the mystery, make plans to take down the psycho, and save the lives of people. People like you and me. Ordinary people.

Stay tuned for my upcoming Review

Praise

“Well written and very fast paced. You won’t get bored or find your mind wandering. I’d love to see a sequel to this collection and see what happens next. I give this book five out of five donuts.”

“This book starts off dipping its toe right into the heart of the story, not unlike Ms. White‘s YA novel Elemental, and the story never really slows down to a lazy pace; making it a very easy and fast read.”

“Ms. White wonderfully succeeded in instilling humor into ten short stories about vampires, zombies, ghosts, and one mad scientist. Each story is brilliantly linked. The Victorian era setting delightfully adds to the humor.”

“This is a wonderful mix of Steampunk and Horror written in Emily White’s unmistakable brilliance and style. Does it get any better than that?”

About Author Emily White

Emily White lives in NY, wedged between two of the Great Lakes and a few feet of snow and ice. She’s spent most of her life running away from the cold, and even spent a year in Iraq, but now contents herself with writing her characters into warm, exotic places in faraway galaxies. When not tapping away at her computer keys, she can be found reading, reading, and reading some more. And when she’s not doing that, she’s usually playing video games with her husband, peek-a-boo with her kids, or walking through her garden, wondering why the bugs insist on eating all her vegetables.

Despite growing up together in their trendy Beverly Hills neighborhood, three best friends hide dark childhoods. The lives of Kit, Baylee and Quinn have been anything but perfect.

Just Evil
Kit Griffin has finally overcome a painful childhood at the hands of her mother, former actress Alana Stevens. No longer living in the grasp of the cold, tyrannical woman, Kit’s life is finally on track. That is, until Alana is found brutally murdered on Mother’s Day, pulling Kit back to the dark horrors of her past. To make matters worse, the police consider Kit the prime suspect.

Jake Boston is an old family friend and the man Kit has loved since she was a teen. He’s fighting his own demons as a suspect in his wife’s murder two years earlier. Despite his past, he’s determined to win Kit over once and for all. But before that can happen they need to convince the police there’s a killer working his way down a list with cold-hearted vengeance in mind.

Forced to delve into Alana’s dark past, Jake and Kit uncover a forty-year-old double murder leading them straight to the door of a legal dynasty. Soon they find out just how far the heirs will go to keep the past buried.
