So while we wait for Capture to go live on Amazon I thought I'd give you one more small extra from the book. In chapter 1 you will read about a playlist that Garrett made for Belle. Below you will find that playlist. I hope you enjoy.

Since Capture is almost ready to be published this is almost the l ast little extra for it. In case some of you didn't know music is always a huge inspiration for me so I love to share playlists from my books, rather it be songs mentioned in the book itself or songs that inspired a scene or story line. Below is the link to the playlist from youtube account. Below that are the individual links.

So as the time approaches for Capture (book 2 in the Magicals Trilogy) to be released I thought I'd give you guys a sneak peek of the new characters you'll meet. Below I will give you the name and how they are brought into the book with the exception of Slate. I also give you the character inspiration photos that Erika and I found for these new characters. I hope you're as excited to meet them as I am to introduce them Slate Ryker: Kyah, Slate's ex girlfriend: Isaiah Martinez, Javi's brother: Ezra Sauveterre, Eden's brother: Alaric Sauveterre, Ezra's son, Arabella's cousin and twin brother to Anneke. Anneke Sauveterre, Ezra's daughter, Arabella's cousing and twin sister to Alaric. Rachel Winters, Riley's mom: I hope you've enjoyed. Check back next Friday for the playlist that inspired Capture.  Until next time...  ❤

So, if you're like me I'm always interested in what other people are reading, listening to or watching so I'm thought I'd share my recommendations. Okay, so book wise I read a book called Fated by AJ Brooks (Jolene Perry & Allison Martin). It's a really great book that takes has a unique plot. Following Greek Gods and mortals but it's not the type of love story your use to. No, it's more realistic. The Greek God doesn't want to give up him immortality for love and really who could blame him? Giving up immortality would be something difficult to give up. It's got a fantastic ending to top it all of. You should definitely check it out.

Dark Lover by JR Ward is the first book in the Bla

Happy Friday y'all! Since I'm an avid reader myself I know how bad it can suck to wait for a follow up on a book. A few of you have asked about the follow up to Magicals so I decided to give you guys a snippet from the upcoming book Capture. I hope you guys enjoy it and the new character! Arabella Someone behind me asking if I was going to go inside the store snapped me out of my own head. I didn't know what had happened but it was almost like I had felt the connection. I was scared to be hopeful because what if I had just imagined it? What if I was starting to go crazy from  his  absence? If I had felt the connection then there was hope that maybe he wasn't as far as we had all feared. Then another thought slammed into me that drained my body of its oxygen. If that was him then he was in an enormous amount of pain. That sent my heart pounding against my chest, a lump formed in my throat. I cleared it quickly glanced back and apologized to the guy behind me. On

This blog post is because Erika (my bestie) thought of a great idea. Why not give you readers some excerpts. So, since Magicals is the only one currently published I'm giving you guys an excerpt from it for those of you haven't had a chance to read it or are debating about buying it. Maybe, this will help you guys decide. This is a scene who some of the readers have really enjoyed. It's a little funny and it consists of a conversation between Arabella, Erika and Riley on Arabella's first day of school back in Daphne. Magicals Excerpt: Once we reach the cafeteria he asks what I'll have and I give the easiest answer I can think of. A salad and then he points me in the direction of Erika. Erika is giving me this look that reads "two guys in one day" and I can't help but laugh. Pulling out a chair I greet her "Hey there". "Hey back at ya" she says with a grin. Shaking my head "You can lose that grin now". "Wha

So music is a HUGE inspiration for me when I'm creating characters and story lines. Music and quotes can set up an entire chapter for me sometimes. If you've read Magicals then you know how much music means to Arabella's character which made a rather big playlist for the book. I'll try to include links to each song mentioned in the book below. I hope you enjoy.

So, I don't know about other readers but I love to see character inspiration pictures and playlists from my favorite books or authors. I love to see how they saw the characters. My friend Erika and I worked on to find pictures of how we envisioned the characters of Magicals. I have a board for every book idea I currently have on my Pinterest. Click the link below to see all my boards: https://www.pinterest.com/stephie720 For those of you who aren't Pinterest fanatics I'm going to add each picture here with the characters nae. Arabella Domachelli: Garrett Freeman: Erika Jensen: Riley Winters: Sebastian Wood: Christian Bedford: Lydia Cox: Amadeus Domachelli: MaKayla Freeman: Evan Freeman: Eden Domachelli: Michael Domachelli:  Wayne Freeman: Kathy Freeman: Javi: I'll work on getting a playlist made for the book as well.
