Valentine's Day Tag!!

Hello Lovely People,

I hope you are enjoying a lovely Friday afternoon!!😊 I have a lot going on. I do plan to deliver updates as they arrive. I know I haven't done the quarterly goals post for this quarter. I will not be doing quarterly blogs  anymore atleast not for awhile. In other news...in the spirit of light hearted fun and Valentine's Day I decided to  do the V-Day Tag. I think Valentine's Day is a bit cheesy and love should be expressed everyday of the year, but I love the chocolates, teddy bears, and other cutesy themed stuff of that day though😊. I know V-Day was over two days ago, but I still think it's fun and I like tags. Jenna Moreci (author of Eve: The Awakening and The Savior's Champion) one of the authors I admire and respect participated in this on her vlog it how I found about it. The V-Day Tag  was created by Bree Barton (author of Heart of Thorns).

Although I am not currently writing ROTL (Rise of the Legacy), I am working on the final edits from my editor for ROTL so it is a WIP until it is published but the current WIP I am actually in the process of writing is the sequel TOTL (Trials of the Legacy). So in this tag I used  Cymone and Helia which are characters being introduced in VL2: TOTL.

1. Which character does something epic for another character on Valentine's Day, only to have it go epically wrong?

• Helia would and most likely give it to Sasha sense he ends up having a secret crush on her (spoiler alert)**.

2. Nine million people buy their pets a gift for Valentine's Day. Which of your characters does this, and what's the gift?

• Sasha - Horse treats for Belle
• Yasmine - Tortoise treats for Merlin
• Jayne - Bluejay treats and a new cage for Windy
• Alyssa - Chameleon treats for Ember

3. Which character is celebrating Singles Awareness Day (S.A.D.) and how do they celebrate?

• Cymone by hitting up clubs in the Twilight Realm and snagging a hawt single guy.

4. In 1537, King Henry the Eighth declared February 14th the official holiday of St. Valentine . . . the same King Henry who beheaded two of his six wives. Which character decides to murder someone on February 14th? 

• Eleanor Vanhorn Crowling

5. Which character writes and performs a sappy love song for their crush?

• Devlin for Jayne

6. Fill in the blanks: I saw _Toby/(Tobias)__  give a box of __Wild  truffles __ spiked with aphrodisiacs to ___Cymone___ , which made them wildly _Seductive_.

7. Every February, the Italian city of Verona receives approximately 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet. Which character writes a love letter to someone who does not exist, and what does it say?

• Avery (Chronus McAvoy) to his dead wife (killed in last war). Dearest Madeline, I know that you are gone, but it was not in vain Erisian will rise again and will succeed. Sorry you had to die at the hands of a friend turned enemy she paid dearly my beloved - Chronus.

8. Which character breaks up with their significant other on Valentine's Day by text message (or an equally awful way if there are no texts in your world)?

• Yvonne aka the 'Love Vixen' would probably do it if he pissed her off enough and she was fed up.

9. In Finland, Valentine's Day isn't romantic-it's called Ystävänpäivä, or "Friend's Day." Which character celebrates Friend's Day by playing a massive prank?

• Cymone

10. One of your characters consumes too much chocolate and champagne and gets sick all over the love of their life. Which character is it?

• Jayne

I hope you enjoy!!!

License To Spill - Author's Confession Writer's Tag Part 2

Hello Love Bugs,

Writer's I hope you enjoy this tag. 14 Questions of Fun!!

License To Spill - Author's Confession Writer's Tag

Make it Rain – What is the first book that made you cry?

• I believe the first book that made me cry was Meet Addy  book 1 of the American Girls Collection by Connie Porter

Perky Babe – What part of the writing process energize or exhaust you?

• When I first start writing I am energized, but after writing for awhile I am exhausted as I try to meet my writing goal for that day.

Ego Mania – Does a big ego help or hurt writers?

• I think it's a bit of a double edge sword meaning it can help and hurt them. It help them with confidence when they get discouraged, but it can hurt if they don't see that is always room for improvement to make their writing better and after they did successful they continue to write the same way or they write the same way regardless because they are blinded by their ego.

The Superman Comic – What is your writing kryptonite?

• I think being over critical of myself and my writing is my main weakness besides writing blocks.

Book On The Block – Have you ever gotten reader’s block and what book was it?

• Yes because I got a little annoyed the way it was written more than the actual content  every now and then it was the content though. Those are the books that take me longer than my average to finish the book. I don't remember the book titles but it was like few books I came across like that.

The Kid At Heart – What is your favorite childhood book?

• The Clique book by Lisi Harrison when I was younger I was obsessed with the series.

The Sacrificial Lamb – What one thing would you give up to become a better writer?

• TV and procrastinating. Although now since their are TV shows I love I treat them as a reward for meeting a writing goal. when I need extra motivation lol 😉

Under The Radar – Would you ever consider writing books under a pseudonym?

• I write under one now. Raquelle Stepney is a pen name, but it is my middle and last name.

Spiritual Anima – As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?

• Pegasus. I love unicorns and Pegasus they are part of the horse family and I love horses. Horses and dolphins are my favorite animals.

Gender Blender – What’s the most difficult thing about writing characters from the opposite sex?

• Remember that when they talk it cannot sound too feminine, but the difficulty probably vary with each book I write. 

I Spy – Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?

• If  I writing a series  yes but the secrets are more of hints of whats to come for the next book in the series. Now personal thing no I am pretty open about what I want to be known and what I don't I zip my lips..

The View – Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?

• For books I am interested in reading I do, but sometimes I don't because what I enjoy in a book someone don't. Now for the books I write I will read them and I will appreciate all reviews, but I will cherish the good reviews.

Kiss & Tell  –  Which character(s) kiss in your current WIP?

• Sasha and Ezra (aka Bren) *Spoiler Alert*

Spill The Beans – Tell us all about your current WIP and what is your favorite character(s) from your current WIP?

• Rise Of The Legacy: five girls learning about themselves in more ways than one while facing a destiny they did not want. My favorites are my five main character,  Toby, and Ezra.
