Updates FTW!!

Hey everyone!

I know things have been a little weird the past few years, but now they're getting even weirder.

You may or may not have noticed that I have removed all of my books from their various stores.

DO NOT BE ALARMED.

I purposefully moved them because of a few things:

1. I was young when I wrote them, and though these stories and characters are dear to my heart, the writing isn't where I want it to be. Maybe someday I'll rewrite them, and they'll be better, but for now, I'm going to take them down.

2. I want to publish something else for you all, something with better writing, and new and amazing characters I want you all to meet!

They may still be up in a few different places, but they will all be unpublished here soon.

I am still on Twitter, and on here, email me if you want! I'm not going anywhere, just my books are.

STARS may still be a reality, so that one is still up and going! I just need to work on it some more!

Thank you all for being so amazing and patient!

Game Plan

Hey, everyone! Good morning!

I am developing a game plan to get back into the swing of things. If you know me, I like things in order as quickly as possible, and that's what I'm working towards. I've gotten all of my accounts back up, fixing things that need fixed, etc. And since that's all taken care of, I can now start publishing a few things that I said I would, but then, you know, I dropped off the face of the earth.

The first book to be published will be Frostbite (The Storm Saga #2.5). It's between The Hurricane, and the third book, which the title has not been released yet. That one is written, so that one will follow shortly I'm sure, but for now, focusing on Frostbite getting out there.

So stay tuned for all that info!! I am very thankful that Past Me was so organized, because Present Me would be even more stressed if Past Me hadn't been. So thank you, Past Me.

Why I've Been Gone

Hey guys!

It's me Madison. Hard to believe right? I dropped off the face of the planet about three years ago. No warning, just....disappeared. I'm sorry about that. I should have said something, but to be honest, I was embarrassed. But I shouldn't be, so I'm going to share what all happened. (Edit: came to my attention from earlier posts, that I shared majority of this with you, though I don't recall it. But here it is again.)

You see, I've always struggled with anxiety. I've had it as long as I can remember, I remember having it before I knew what I had had a name. I also have OCD, which didn't help with the anxiety.

About three years ago, things just happened, all non harmful things, that made my anxiety flare up. It was bad. I couldn't do what I loved, which was being on here with you all, Twitter, writing, reading, hanging out with my friends. It took me an entire year, after struggling for months, and then getting medication, to get to a point where I could do simple things, like go out with friends, or just sit in my own house, and not feel like an anxiety attack was coming on.

Now, don't get me wrong, I still have the anxiety, it's still there, and I'm very much aware of it, and I battle it everyday, but I can manage it now. I'm a better person than I was before, more aware of what I want from life, I take every day as a gift, because that's what it is.

I want to encourage you to seek help if you need it for anything, may it be mental illness, or a physical illness, because they're all very real, and I would not be here if it wasn't for all the support I got. And, also, God helped me a whole lot. Through prayer and tears He brought me out of the worst of it. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Him.

I won't be jumping head first into things quite yet. The last time I actually finished a story was last summer. Haven't been able to finish anything since, but it's a great story, and I'm hoping...Maybe I'll share it with you all.

The Storm Saga, and the Two Rings Series are still around if you all still want to read them. Though, to be honest, they're kind of embarrassing now, compared to what I'm writing currently. But hey, that's progress.

I don't know about Stars, I may still release it, but I'm not sure. Sorry about all those who entered giveaways. I'm staring fresh, so I won't revisit any past giveaways and such. So I am very sorry if you entered something. I'll have new giveaways in the future, I promise!!

Be patient with me as I navigate things, as I've been gone a very long while. I've missed everyone, and I'm excited to be back. :)

#ThatMomentWhenYouRealizeYouWontBeFinishingNaNo

So...the hashtag says it all. I got my puppy at the beginning of November, and I didn't have time to write at all. Then things settled in, and I got a lot of work done, then I didn't.

Let's just say...I'm sad. My fourth year and I won't be able to finish. I know a lot of people don't end up finishing, and that's okay. I just really wanted to do it agian this year, BUT, my puppy is very important to me, and I will finish this book, I won't give up on it. :)

How is everyone, by the way? The puppy keeps me away from all of you lovely people.

Romancing Halloween Blog Hop! Oct. 25th - Nov. 1st!

Halloween is my favorite holiday (aside from Thanksgiving). I love dressing up, that's my favorite part of the whole thing. And oh, the candy. Horror movies was never something I enjoyed, they scare the crap out of me, and I never watch them. BUT, I do love the dark. It's fascinating, and when I created my beings for my Two Rings series, one of them had to be of the dark. OverShadowers. And of course, they're counter parts, Undimmed.

To learn more about OverShadowers, check out, Shadow Future:

Also, a book that's more paranormal, and not as dark, you can check out The Storm, where my characters have paranormal storm powers!
