A Sneak Peek…and Other News!

I have exciting news: Deception is in the process of being formatted for publication. This means that it will be released very soon! I’ve been working very hard on the final edit, thanks to a couple members of my review team who gave me their very helpful editing expertise.

Sneak Peak into Deception:

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warm sun beating down on me and the sounds of the lake lapping up on the shore. It was so calming.

I wasn’t sure how much time had passed when I heard a strange whirring noise. I tried to ignore it, hoping that it would go away.

It only got louder and gave me a creepy feeling, so I opened my eyes.

I was so startled by the sight of over a hundred crows flying in a massive circle directly above where I was sitting that I jumped off the bench.

They were all going around and around in a circle. As soon as one made eye contact with me, it began to caw. The rest followed suit and dozens of crows were orbiting around and around right over me, and all of them were shrieking at me.

I grabbed my purse and inched away from the bench without breathing. I couldn’t take my eyes off of them, and I noticed that as I inched along, the whole circle inched right along with me in the air above me. I stopped for a moment and finally took a breath.

As soon as I began to breathe again, every single creepy bird in the circling, cawing flock turned its eyes toward me. Each one was looking down at me while whirling above my head.

To make sure that I wasn’t losing my mind, I slowly walked about two feet. Each one kept its eyes fixed on me. They circled, cawing, and they stayed directly above me. Exactly as I moved, the circle moved.

I made a split second decision and ran to my car as fast as I could without looking up or back. Once I was safely locked in my car, I looked outside to see if they had followed me. I didn’t see them, so I inched myself forward so that I could see above the car without getting out.

There they were, flying right above my car in their massive whirl.

The first draft of Book Two has been completed. The estimated publication is early next year! The wait in between books won’t be too long. You will get a sneak peak into the second book, including the book’s name, when you finish reading Deception.

Deception will take you through many exciting adventures with Alexis and her friends. The adventure will continue and bring about more twists and surprises when you read the second book.

I look forward to revealing the cover soon. It will be as fabulous as Deception’s cover!

I began writing Book Three today. Alexis’ adventures are far from over as the excitement continues.

Did you read my interview with Alexis? It’s a fun read and will give more previews into Deception! Also, be sure to sign up for my newsletter so that you can receive periodic free bonus chapters!

Thank you for your interest and support! I’d love to hear from, please leave a comment!

    You are a writing fool Stacy. My goodness, you’re already starting on book number three. I do believe this is your calling.

    Can’t wait to read Deception and start with all of Alexis’ adventures.

    1. Thank you, Adrienne!
      I have always loved writing and I have so much fun with it. That’s why I don’t mind waking up before 4:30 during the week to get my daily writing in.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Hey Stacy, Wow “Deception” Just the title wants me to read it……….I see Adrieanne said you have already written a few books before this one…..I think that is fabulous and you are so young. You have a great career ahead of you for sure! I really like the way you write, I can feel it with every word. Way to Go~

    1. Hi Carol,
      Thank you for visiting! Deception is actually my first novel (that I’m publishing) but I’m already working on the third book in the series. Thank you so much for the encouragement. 🙂

      Have a great day!

  3. Hi Stacy,

    I’m so glad you finally made the plunge because as soon as number one is coming out here is number two coming along. I have to agree with Adrienne on that, It would appear to me that being an author is your calling. Keep up the good work and let us know what’s going on!!

    1. Hi Sylviane,

      Thank you very much! It will be ready for publication when the final formatting and editing is complete, which is going to be very early next month! 🙂

    Hi Stacy

    Congratulations and wow starting book 3 already. That is amazing. Do we have a budding J. K. Rowling here?

    Well done and I too cannot wait to read it.

    1. Hi Sue,
