United by Books is such a HUGE supporter of the indie author community. The owner is always rooting for authors. I absolutely adore her. If you aren’t already following her, be sure to click the image or link and give the page a follow.


What’s new with me author-wise? Well, my muse and life don’t get along so I haven’t been writing much; however, I need to finish my co-writes. One book is back in my court so I need to work on my chapter. I’m super excited because it is a dark mafia romance. (Read book 1 here: Dangerous Affair) The scene I have to write is a sex scene so I’m not looking forward to that, but I may have it interrupted with the other mafia showing up. Muhahahahaha!

How much do you love me? Probably not at all but that’s okay, I love you still. (LOL) And, since I adore your faces, I will share my cover reveal here first with all of you. It’s a paranormal fantasy romance under my pen name Roxy Ray. I have had this book in the works for over a year but life had taken a toll on my mental health so I had to take a step back from everything. Hopefully, I can overcome my mental health issues and go full swing into the author world again and this time under my own terms. No more “yes” me. If I don’t want to do a series or collaboration, I will politely say “no”. (You guys will have to hold me accountable)


I had so much fun writing this book with Josette Reuel. Super-steamy reverse harem (menage) with bikers and paranormal beings. Such a delicious series!

Three hard men who live on the life-force – blood – of others are pushed to the brink when a tiny human woman crashes into their lives. Will Ginny soften hearts and push them to accept something they never expected to be gifted?

Book 1 (Ginny’s Angels): https://books2read.com/ginnysangels/


This book is one of my true book babies. It is a Hunger Games meets Divergent type book. While I wrote it, it helped me battle my demons from Iraq and Afghanistan. It was such a great outlet for me and I finished writing the book in less than a week. It was such an accomplishment and lifted me out of a dark place. People who read this book often message me and say how amazed they were by it. Those words only help add to my happiness towards the book itself. I’m glad others are able to enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

If you’ve read it, I’d love for you to leave a review or tell others about it. (Smile)

New Book Newsletter Released

I was going to make a post updating you all on my life, but honestly, that’d be a super depressing blog. So, instead, I’m going to share my latest book newsletter with you all.

P.S. What topics would you like me to write about? How often? Daily? Weekly? Bi-weekly? etc.


A quick “hello”

“Hello, Lovelies!”

I don’t have much time these days. I stay pretty busy with my commute to/from work, actual work, family life, and college. (Somewhere in there, I eat, shower, and sleep– REPEAT!) I am beyond exhausted. Life decided I didn’t have enough to worry about so it gave me issues with my middle son’s group home. We are back to ground zero and sh*t has hit the fan…again! I am so tired of group homes and the heartache and disappointment that come with each one. I’ve been covered in stress hives off & on for the past two weeks and I have been fighting back the tears for just as long. It’s hard to be Wonder Woman when you’ve been filling the role for decades. I’m tired and need someone to rescue me. #MentalHealthSystemIsBroken #FixIt


Luckily, this week I am in an office where everyone has been SUPER nice and when I leave work I am actually in a good mood. It makes life a little easier! #JarrellCrewRocks

Hello… It’s me! (LOL)

Well, hello there. We meet again. *Giggle* Where has the time gone? I can’t believe I haven’t posted since January! Shame on me. But in my defense, I started a new job and spend most of my time in my car commuting, at work, doing homework, being a mom, or sleeping. (Somewhere in there I shower, do laundry, and eat.) I’m running myself ragged and I can feel my autoimmune disorder starting to flare up… I’ll slow down either on my own or my body will shut down again. Hopefully, it’s the first one. 🙂

I jumped on the bandwagon a few weeks ago but never really promoted my link. I wasn’t sure how to go about doing it or what content to post. Idea???

Bon Voyage…

Hello, Lovelies! Hard to believe the big day is almost here. It feels surreal. A vacation without kiddos!?! (Pick yourself up off the floor because I’m sure you fell out of your chair. *giggle*) I wouldn’t be going on this vacation if it wasn’t for my lovely mother and the universe finally aligning.

When was the last time you had a true vacation that focused on self-care and resetting your soul? I haven’t had a true vacation like this in almost a decade! Self-care is so important and I can honestly say that I neglect myself. I’m not proud of that fact; however, I always try to keep things real with all of you.

I’m working on my mental health and finding ME. I have spent years trying to please others. It came at a toll. A heavy toll. That is why I have finally woken up and made the decision to do things for myself. The first step is this cruise which leaves Sunday. And then, once I am back, I will get a traditional job save up a bit (I already have an income but want some cushion *SMILE*), and then plan to move abroad with my youngest son to Costa Rica for a few months, at the end of January.

Have you been to Costa Rica? Have any suggestions of where to visit or avoid? Or maybe you have a suggestion for the second country my son and I should visit after our Costa Rica adventure? Either way would love to hear your thoughts.



As many of you know, I had to make the tough decision to pull most of my books off of Kindle Unlimited because of piracy. There are a few still left on KU because of obligations; however, a few of these will be leaving KU soon too. If you have KU and would like to read them, now is the time. (SMILE)

Keeping it Real…

Group Home

My son moved back in with me a few months ago because the group home he was in was NOT a good fit. With him being there, it was giving me more gray hair and killing my mental health; however, searching for a new group home has had the same effect. My mental health plummeted drastically. I was not in a good place for a while. I felt like the world was caving in on me. Thankfully, I pulled myself out.

Today, I received a call from a group home near Dallas and they would LOVE for my son to join them! I nearly cried. After contacting over 50 group homes, I finally had good news. This group home was actually my top pick but I hadn’t heard from them so I gave up. The universe decided to shine some light down on my darkened path and I couldn’t be happier!


Fitness Journey

I am happy to announce that I am under 250! Wow. Did I just say that out loud to a bunch of people I don’t know? Yes. Yes, I did! No shame in my game. I am super proud of myself. I have been counting calories and doing 60-minute cardio three times a week. I couldn’t lift because of an arm injury but I recently learned substitute exercises that are helping tone the flabby chicken wings! Super excited about that.

As you see in the pictures, the elliptical machine and my protein/slim fast shake have become my best friends. On occasion, I do growl & hiss at them. (ha!) No pain, no gain… in theory.


College

Did you miss the post about me returning to college? Yes. You read that right. My old behind took the plunge. It has always been my dream to be able to say “I have a bachelor’s degree”. I had to stop years ago for personal reasons but decided to go for it again. I most likely won’t use it… or maybe I will. Time will tell. For right now, I am just enjoying being able to say “I’m a college student!”

My first class was supposed to be Statistics which sounded like Snooze-Fest. Thankfully, it is Composition II! Right up my alley! (insert happy dance)

By the way, my major is… (drum roll)… psychology. So, maybe one day I’ll be able to charge you guys for the advice I give! (Ha! just kidding. XoXo)


Dating

How’s my dating life going? I’m just going to leave these screenshots of things I posted on social media right here (sums it up)…


Moving

In case you don’t follow me on social media or missed one of my last blogs, I have decided to move abroad with my youngest (13) son. We were going to move to China or Korea; however, we are now going to head to Costa Rica for a few months. This may change but for now, it is Costa Rica. Low cost of living, great reviews from family and friends, and is rich in culture which is something I really want my youngest to experience.

I have been studying Spanish for 60+ days straight. I was feeling pretty confident until the Spanish radio station I listen to almost every day had a talking segment this morning and… I only caught a few words here and there. I’m just going to carry a notebook and pen with me and have people write down what they’re saying. I read Spanish better than I do listening & understanding it. Ha. Ha.


Travel

Only 11 more days until I go on my first cruise with my bestie A.K.A. my beautiful mother. (fun fact: eleven is one of my lucky numbers!) We are sooooo ready to set sail. I haven’t had a real vacation without the kids in years. Feels like a lifetime.

I am super excited. Originally, I was nervous because I didn’t feel ‘pretty enough’ to go on a cruise but I decided to let those feelings go. I am way too hard on myself. I keep comparing myself to others and I need to stop doing that & just enjoy life. 🙂


NEW RELEASES FROM ME

A Little of This & That…

Hello, Lovelies!

Happy Tuesday. I hope you’re having an amazing day. Mine is a bit of Crap, but it has become the norm. That’s what happens when you deal with your own mental health disorders and have a child who has even more mental health disorders. #SingleMomProblems

On a happier note, A Djinn’s Love is doing very well in ebook stores. Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy. This book was a lot of fun to write. It was nice to have a setting in Egypt and a paranormal being that isn’t common in PNR these days– a Djinn!

I am very happy to be writing with Josette Reuel again. However, I do think we have a writing problem… no, like a legit writing problem. We had five books in progress, were talking, made a joke, and now we have book six in the works! ha!

Releasing in a few days is my book Doomed. It is a Zom-Com. Yep. You read that right. It is a Zombie-Comedy. A Zomedy! (I’m going to copyright this word.) There’s horror too but my life has enough horror in it so I needed some laughs.
