Music for today

It sums up my mood pretty well.

I can't embed it so you'll have to follow this link.

The time for talking's over now,
I think it's time to let you go;
But I don't, no, I don't mind at all.

It's getting so you never know
When things are better left alone;
But I don't, no, I don't mind at all.

It's important to me
That I don't see you laughing at me.
But I'm smart enough to know
That I'll have to let you go.
But I don't mind at all.

Sentiments and tears will get you
As far as you might think they will;
But I don't, no, I don't mind at all.

Misery loves company,
But she will never fit the bill;
But I don't, no, I don't mind at all.

It's important to me
That I don't see you laughing at me.
But I'm smart enough to know
That I'll have to let you go.
But I don't mind at all.

Seven years ago,
I said good-bye to my own sanity;
But I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't mind at all.

Life goes on

It's been an 'interesting' week.

Due to really childish behavior on my part I lost a good friend. I feel really lousy about it but there's not a damned thing I can do.

On the other hand, I helped another friend escape an abusive relationship. By constantly being there for her I gave her the confidence to tell their abuser, "Good bye and drop dead". I talked to her last night and she was doing very well. She's going to be fine.

And my edits are coming along well. I've managed to work past the fear that's a constant thing in my life and get to work. I'm keeping up.

What does this show? I'm only human. I do good things and bad things. I'm just going to have to try harder to do more of the former and less of the latter. I'll never be perfect but I'll do my best.

It's a strange world.

Back to work

Okay, it's time to get back to work.

So I'll talk about my next release, Breaking The Covenants.

I'm really excited about this. It's been such a blast to write. It grew and grew and became more exciting, the characters more interesting with each passing day.

Here's the blurb.

__________

The German vampire Gunther von Wittersheim has a problem: he’s fallen in love with a mortal woman, the English beauty Lady Marguerite Giffard, and his greatest immortal enemy, the French Comte Alphonse de Brunel, knows about it. When de Brunel captures Marguerite and turns her into a vampire, Gunther must put aside his desire for revenge and help his beloved through the painful transition to immortality.

Vampires are bound by the Covenants, a code of law enforced by the mysterious Conclave of Elders. The couple is ordered by the powerful Elder of Paris to bring de Brunel to the Conclave to answer for trial. The lovers pursue their foe to St. Petersburg, where they are caught in a power struggle between factions of warring vampires. Can they find a way to capture Alphonse de Brunel before the factions go to war? Or will their love fall prey to the breaking of the Covenants?

____________

And let's not forget the wonderful trailer my co-author, Celina Summers created for it.

Today's song

Still too little sleep, still too many dark thoughts.

So this song has been going through my mind.



I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where you are tonight
I don't know what I'm blowing
And I ain't feelin' all too right

But I'm hanging around
Yeah, I'm hanging around
You're hanging up the phone again
I'm hanging up this town, 'cause...

I want you and
I need you and
I'm bleeding and
I'll bleed a little while tonight

Well, I don't know much about you
Not more than a smile or two can say
And everything I've learned about you
I've learned through the pit of my stomach anyway

And I'd forget about you if I could dare but
I just want to make love to you in some dark, rainy street somewhere

I want you and
I need you and
I'm bleeding and
I'll bleed a little while tonight

I will hold this coin that
Reminds me of the time when
You nearly kissed me blind on Bathurst street it's true
But if you turn me down
I'll spin this coin around
And give it back to you, 'cause it's something I can't explain
And if it's all the same to you

Damn, damn the circumstance
Well, my heart is aching
Damn, damn the circumstance
And my room is spinning
Damn, damn the circumstance
It's grey without you in it
Damn, damn the circumstance
My bad luck's just beginning
Damn, damn the circumstance
Don't let me bleed again tonight

My mistakes are taunting me
And I'm hanging around in my old haunts
And I remember you telling me that
Alex never gets what she wants
But you've got someone
And it ain't me
I've got myself again but I just can't let this be

I want you and
I need you and
I'm bleeding and
I'll bleed a little while tonight
