The Overtaking Cover Update

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I had to revamp the cover of Silenced 2: The Overtaking. This past weekend I created two covers that I put on my author page on Facebook and had readers vote. Here are the two covers that were up for voting.

I want to take the moment and thank everyone who added in their vote. The winning book cover was.......

I may do some adjustments to this one but for the most part... this is what The Overtaking's cover will look like.

Happy Mother's Day

As a mother myself, I look forward to Mother's Day because it's a day where I can see just how creative my daughter can get. This year she gave me a small bobble head frog that she painted herself and a keepsake box.

Now I want to give to my readers. Yep you read that right. 

I'm giving away 10 ebook copies of Silenced to gear up for Mother's Day. 

This giveaway is open internationally and will close on Monday. So, if you'd like the chance to win, enter by using the rafflecopter below.

Characters of Silenced

Ever wonder what an author was thinking while writing a new book with their characters? I've managed to put together this picture to show my readers how I pictured the four main characters of Silenced. 

What did you picture them like?
