What to expect from me

Howdy my lovely lovies.  This is a post without a giveaway or promoting any books.  I want you to know what you can expect from me the writer.  My target audience for my Light Tamer series is 12 - 15.  As a mother, I would read my kids books first, before I allowed them to read it.  Moms are busy and don't always have the chance to monitor everything.  Now that we have a world of smart phones, e-readers and internet, it is hard for parents to make sure that things are as they appear.  I want to assure the moms and dads out there, I will always keep my content proper for that age group.

To the authors and bloggers that have adult content, I can't retweet your work or promote on my Facebook page.  It has nothing to do with you, because I respect your craft, it has to do with my fans and family.    I've turned away a couple of people recently because of the adult nature.  It's my responsibility to be responsible. Thank you for considering me though.

Thank you to everyone that has fallen in love with Caleb and Jessie!  I'm so glad so many people have become Team Caleb!

Enlightened Cover Reveal!

Enlightened Cover Reveal

by Devyn Dawson

Recently our founder Emma Michaels announced that she is doing book covers.  I've been struggling over what my second book in The Light Tamer Series would be...until I saw Emma's work.  (I'm going Southern speak....so tune your ears to Southern).  Girl, let me tell you, that Emma girl...she got mad skills!  Have you seen her work?  Child, you must check her covers out.  They are so good you can butter my butt and call me a biscuit!   (taking a sip of some sweet tea)  Holy cow! Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Do you get the picture?  Her work is very professional, and her prices are very affordable.  We collaborated together and decided that The Light Tamer needed a face-lift.  It makes it easier for readers to recognize they are from the same series.  I agreed.  I loved the old book cover and I love the new one.  What do I like about Emma's covers?  First, her eye for colors and subject matter are great.  Since she is a writer, she understands the need to draw the reader from the cover alone.  Not only are her covers beautiful but her banners are very attractive.  When you're considering your own cover, you need to ask yourself a couple of questions.

          1.  Will it appeal to readers?
          2.  Will it look good in print?
          3.  Does it tell a story?
          4.  Does it 'speak' to you?

Now for my cover reveal for Enlightened.  Let me know what you think!  If you want to see more of Emma's covers.... http://emmamichaels.blogspot.com/
