<a href="http://31.media.tumblr.com/74ea37d25e599b9b9326559a1da39505/tumblr_mwiyowoNXy1qztgoio3_250.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" src="http://31.media.tumblr.com/74ea37d25e599b9b9326559a1da39505/tumblr_mwiyowoNXy1qztgoio3_250.gif" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />This is why I have decided (after much thought) that I am going to push back the release date of <b><i>Split Blood 3</i></b> to after summer.<br /><br />I do not want to publish something I am not fully happy with and this is the main reason for the delay.<br /><br />I will still focus on improving it but in the meantime I will continue to post the chapters of <b><i><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/58857544-love-bite-love-bite-series-1" target="_blank">Love Bite</a></i></b> on <b><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">Wattpad</a></b> and work towards producing the surprise.<br /><br />I hope this does not dishearten my readers and I am so grateful for all your support.<br /><br />Have a great weekend everyone!

<br />I must admit, I do love cats but after loosing my own, when I was younger, it is a little hard to think about getting another.<br /><br />I always used to think people were a little over the top when I would hear them say that there pets were "part of the family" but I completely understand now.<br /><br />My cat was a funny character and was definitely part of the family, which is why when we lost him, it was hard to think about getting another one.<br /><br />I think I'll be ready to get another one soon but until then I think I'll spoil my friends kitties and write a few unique kitty characters into my fantasy stories.<br /><br />Anyway, apart from playing with the kitties and writing, I do have a little surprise coming up, which I am hoping to reveal next month!<br /><br />So stay tuned and follow me on <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/101852264150352725031" target="_blank">Google+</a></span></b> to keep updated with all my present and future projects.<br /><br />Thanks guys!<br /><br />Enjoy the remaining bit of your weekend! ;-)</div>

<br />
Along with doing Author Interviews and trying to balance my day job with my writing, I completed a Guest Post at Christmas, which discussing the issues self-published authors face over the festive period.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/fa/bb/c2/fabbc2667d756977aa8731a9acfea889.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/fa/bb/c2/fabbc2667d756977aa8731a9acfea889.gif" width="200" /></a>Although it discusses the Christmas holidays, it can apply to all holidays and outlines my difficulties with trying to remain focused on writing, helpful hints and tips on trying to stay organised, getting creative and using the holidays as inspiration for your stories, plus much more!<br />
<br />
It was very trying to ignore the egg nog, and sweet treats, when trying to write the next chapter of my latest book but it is possible (even for someone with such little willpower as myself when it comes to becoming distracted by all unhealthy delights! lol) and I have found some easy ways to do it.<br />

<br />
It has been a few weeks since I have published a <b><a href="https://alifeamongthepages.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/guest-post-by-authorlherman-the-economics-of-self-publishing-a-book/" target="_blank">Guest Post </a></b>but I'm happy to say I have finally done another one and the topic is very important for me to discuss.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/7jLbFT4E6fKRa/giphy.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/7jLbFT4E6fKRa/giphy.gif" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Many people have their own opinions about self-published authors!<br />
<br />
Whether it be:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Anyone can self-publish their work</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The quality of work is not as good as a traditionally published books</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you hammer social media sites with your books then you will become a success</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>All of the above and more...</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In my <b><a href="https://alifeamongthepages.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/guest-post-by-authorlherman-the-economics-of-self-publishing-a-book/" target="_blank">Guest Post</a></b>, I discuss the misconceptions about self-publishing, along with some helpful hints and tips for anyone thinking about publishing their own book (based on my mistakes).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also explain the basic costs to self-publish a book and the essentials of what you need to include in your budget and what you may want to avoid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to thank Robert for allowing me to have this opportunity on his blog, <b><a href="https://alifeamongthepages.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/guest-post-by-authorlherman-the-economics-of-self-publishing-a-book/" target="_blank">A Life Amongst The Pages</a></b> and I hope to work with him further in the future.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://49.media.tumblr.com/b2cd937f84a7207005f9bab6bd854c7f/tumblr_mybldfPIEj1t2yvn6o1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://49.media.tumblr.com/b2cd937f84a7207005f9bab6bd854c7f/tumblr_mybldfPIEj1t2yvn6o1_500.gif" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
It's funny because when I was a child, I used to pray for it to snow because it meant snow ball fights, building snowmen (or snow women to be politically correct! Lol), getting my coat soaking wet when I made snow angels and sledging.<br /><br />Now, as an adult, that excitement has gone and has been replaced with praying my car will start in the morning and dreading going out into the cold.<br /><br />At least the cold weather isn't being wasted as I am now on chapter 8 of <b><i><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/58857544-love-bite-love-bite-series-1" target="_blank">Love Bite</a></i></b> and will be doing a few more <b>author interviews</b> and <b>guest posts</b> before the end of the month.<br /><br />I was a little bit lazy yesterday and opted to relax a little and watch, <b><i>Who Framed Roger Rabbit</i></b> (I haven't seen it in years!) but I have hidden my DVD collection today, got my playlist ready and will be knuckling down today to try and get some of the tasks ticked off on my writing schedule.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdk8j4aZrb1qg6rkio1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdk8j4aZrb1qg6rkio1_500.gif" height="148" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<div>
So, that's all for now!<br /><br />I should be posting the new chapter of <b><i><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/58857544-love-bite-love-bite-series-1" target="_blank">Love Bite</a></i></b> on <b><a href="http://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">Wattpad</a></b> tomorrow, so if you want to know what happens to Luci when she is ejected from the deadly vortex, then give it a read and please show your support by leaving a comment and / or vote so the story can move up the <b><a href="http://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">Wattpad</a></b> search pretty please.<br /><br /><br />Happy reading guys! :-)</div>

Lol<br /><br />I have written seven chapters so far of my FREE Wattpad story, <b><i><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/58857544-love-bite-love-bite-series-1" target="_blank">Love Bite</a></i></b> (I will be posting Chapter 7 later tonight) and I'm really enjoying developing Luci's character as she is kidnapped and dragged into a deadly realm with spoilt vampire, Tynan and his troll slave.<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://49.media.tumblr.com/77d0754cc1eec58def0abc9729f1a271/tumblr_nn21krmITD1usglwdo1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://49.media.tumblr.com/77d0754cc1eec58def0abc9729f1a271/tumblr_nn21krmITD1usglwdo1_500.gif" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
There are a few shocks and surprises to come as it is not your usual human kidnapping story and the reader gets to find out more about this new world of darkness and how similar the realm is to the human world, just with a sinister, bloody edge.<br /><br />You will also find out why Luci is so important to Tynan's father and how much danger she really is in as she delves deeper into this dangerous dimension.<br /><br />I am hoping you guys will enjoy the direction am taking the story in and please <b>VOTE</b> and <b>COMMENT</b> to support me on my first attempt at writing a primarily Teen Fiction story (even though there is still a heavily predominant paranormal theme to it - I had to stay true to my fantasy roots! Lol).<br /><br />For more information and to read, <b><i><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/58857544-love-bite-love-bite-series-1" target="_blank">Love Bite</a></i></b>, Click Here!<br /><br />Also, check out the Anime images I have posted on each chapter to enhance the readers experience.<br /><br /><br />Happy reading guys! :-)<br /> </div>

Hello, my magical friends!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My week has been a little hectic with the demands from my day job, catching up on my emails and sorting out the video editing software I bought for myself at Christmas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm looking forward to trying it out at the weekend because I can't wait to redo my trailers!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm hoping to hibernate this weekend and just solely focus on <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Louise-Herman/e/B00B3U7FR2/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1434402656&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Split Blood 3</a> </i>and maybe a little more on my FREE Wattpad (<b>@<a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">FantasyFairy</a></b>) Teen Fiction story, <b><i><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/58857544-love-bite-love-bite-series-1" target="_blank">Love Bite</a>.</i></b></div>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
Throughout the week, I have been noting down some ideas for <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Louise-Herman/e/B00B3U7FR2/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1434402656&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Split Blood 3</a> </i>on my mobile phone and have been heavily influenced by some of the songs I have been listening to.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
I absolutely love this song and it has inspired me to create an unexpected romance between two sub characters (I'm still unsure which direction to take them in but I'm sure I'll be inspired further when they interact with other characters and their circle's demands take their toll):</div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fyyqpTtE3Bw/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fyyqpTtE3Bw?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div>
<br /><br />I am a massive fan of Daft Punk and can also credit them for helping me create a number of story lines and characters in my books.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think they are such a creative group and I am a fan of electronic music.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love this video because not only is it Anime styled but also the words are so beautiful and it has a fantasy feel about it,which ticks all my musical and visual needs!</div>
<div>

<br />
If you don't know anything about David Bowie then here's a little introduction about the British icon...<br />
<br />
<b><u>David Bowie Introduction</u></b><br />
<br />
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie was an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, arranger, painter and actor.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xVCHxOJOapRV9CwQHtUrZI9G6lWUa-S3bjAIRl9VvCLNBFaTyU2NtzD8u8trGVNBOQQqBkcvbPm1VaEyG9jnVzIYkAQQHSLyCS1je9gpZ5GQUUGZTMngYlqV_PcAamyTshgGcikAUXSQ/s1600/Ziggy+Stardust.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xVCHxOJOapRV9CwQHtUrZI9G6lWUa-S3bjAIRl9VvCLNBFaTyU2NtzD8u8trGVNBOQQqBkcvbPm1VaEyG9jnVzIYkAQQHSLyCS1je9gpZ5GQUUGZTMngYlqV_PcAamyTshgGcikAUXSQ/s200/Ziggy+Stardust.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<div>
He was a figure in popular music for over four decades, and was considered by critics and other musicians as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
His androgynous appearance was an iconic element of his image, principally in the 1970s and 1980s.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Born and raised in Brixton, south London, Bowie developed an early interest in music although his attempts to succeed as a pop star during much of the 1960s were frustrated. <div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Space Oddity" became his first top five entry on the UK Singles Chart after its release in July 1969. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After a three-year period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The character was spearheaded by his single "Starman" and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie's impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, "challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day" and "created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved to be one facet of a career marked by reinvention, musical innovation and visual presentation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>My Inspiration</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
David Bowie was one of my inspirations to become a writer and to create the unique fantasy world's in my stories.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I loved his music, style and was (and still am) obsessed with Labyrinth!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XRcOZZDvMv4/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRcOZZDvMv4?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It will be such a loss to the entertainment business (in my eyes) as another uniquely creative artist has departed but hopefully more upcoming artists will use him as an inspiration to create more distinctive and memorable music, styles and films.</div>

Hi Guys<br />
<br />
It's another Sunday and it's not very warm in the UK so I know what that means...snow will be coming!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiURyejpDqbmY-Ak-sq2pernMHRShosVBJzj2-7NtmB6VJKy-iIl-_K9w1d3sB0834tCG6wS6F5LQbZM8qSttArjvxae2nrTILkwiZqM5PGdTa4bywypgWJP6n65bf7EiVtmWXG0fQubv7f/s1600/Snowy+Anime.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiURyejpDqbmY-Ak-sq2pernMHRShosVBJzj2-7NtmB6VJKy-iIl-_K9w1d3sB0834tCG6wS6F5LQbZM8qSttArjvxae2nrTILkwiZqM5PGdTa4bywypgWJP6n65bf7EiVtmWXG0fQubv7f/s200/Snowy+Anime.gif" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
At least I cannot be distracted to go out if the weather is rubbish so... more work here I come!<br />
<br />
I have just finished the pre-production stage of the <b><i>Split Blood: The Ancient Codex - Part One</i></b> book trailer and will be starting to look for the actors soon but because we are getting into the bad weather season here, I don't think I will start filming until April.<br />
<br />
I will keep you all updated and I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think.<br />
<br />
I am also finishing the first draft of chapter one of <b><i>Spilt Blood 3</i></b> and will be sending it off to my copy editor soon so I'm excited to actually get everything in motion.<br />
<br />
And lastly, I will be looking for some reviewers in the next few months to give feedback on Wattpad, Goodreads, Amazon and Smashwords, so if you think you would be interested in being a reviewer, please email me to express your interest.<br />
<br />
That's all for now! :-)</div>

Happy reading, my magical friends!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09895938058779464541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307729762542330771.post-46107283925126698262016-01-06T11:52:00.000-08:002016-01-06T11:52:28.696-08:00Thundercats Film?Hi there my magical friends!<br />
<br />
Well it's a gloomy Wednesday in the UK and along with having the 'mid week hump', I have been thinking about what I can do this evening (after I finish writing) and thought I might catch up with my <b><i>Thundercats</i></b> collection that I bought last month from Amazon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://49.media.tumblr.com/0445a543a84e8142240bed4b068883e1/tumblr_mlu0ikm6x61rok1n7o1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="136" src="https://49.media.tumblr.com/0445a543a84e8142240bed4b068883e1/tumblr_mlu0ikm6x61rok1n7o1_500.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I could do with something to bring me back to happier times, since this diet is draining me already (I haven't even got to the end of the first week and I already want to raid the biscuit tin! No willpower at all but I am going to try, for the fifth time, to complete this three month detox...let's see if I make it to the end of the week first! lol) and the weather isn't very nice!<br />
<br />
Along with trying not to go to the supermarket and buy every chocolate cake in the dessert section, I did chuckle today about my naivety when someone told me there was going to be a <b><i>Thundercats</i></b> film and I tried to convince my brother it was true, a few months ago!<br />
<br />
In my defence, I saw a trailer and it was extremely believable but I was broken-hearted when I found out it wasn't true.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3_npg6PFXII/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3_npg6PFXII?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
However, it then got me thinking...if there was going to be a Thundercats movie, who would I want to play the following characters:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Lion-O:</span> </b>Gerard Butler<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Tygra:</span> </b>Hugh Jackman<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Panthro:</span> </b>Vin Diesel<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Cheetara:</span> </b>Charlize Theron<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">WilyKit:</span> </b>India Eisley<div>
<b><br /><span style="color: red;">WilyKat: </span></b>Kodi Smit-McPhee</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Who would you choose to play the main characters?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Wednesday! :-)</div>

The holidays have been amazing with communicating with readers and participating in author interviews and guest posts with some amazing bloggers but now I have gone back to my day job, and have to go back to writing part time, I am a little sad. :-(<br />
<br />
I love teaching but it has been amazing to work full time on my writing and hope I can continue to be organised with my work and communicating quickly with the readers, fans and bloggers, so I can continue this passion and reveal more about myself through the interviews and guest posts.<br />
<br />

<br />
It has been a while but I have been trying to check my <a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank"><b>Wattpad</b> </a>account, when I get the chance, and have seen some amazing stories that I will be adding to my reading list shortly.<br />
<br />
I absolutely love <b><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">Wattpad</a></b> because there are so many amazing writers on there and the communities and clubs have really helped me with ideas, curing my writers block and getting to know a vast array of readers and writers from all around the globe!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7f/27/09/7f2709b7c1c8e80f72098b043b638db1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7f/27/09/7f2709b7c1c8e80f72098b043b638db1.jpg" width="226" /></a></div>
<br />
I have got the writing bug again and have set myself a crazy challenge (I have no idea why I would put this pressure on myself but let's see how it goes?! lol) - I have decided to try and write a teen fiction paranormal story, to launch exclusively on <b><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">Wattpad</a></b>, to be completed by the end of January.<br />
<br />
I have already started writing it and have set the scene for the main female lead but I have so many ideas that I am just in the process of trying to cut them down so I don't overload the reader with my wacky dark fantasy storyline.<br />
<br />
I will be posting the first part on <b><a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/FantasyFairy" target="_blank">Wattpad</a></b> tomorrow, so stay tuned and let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment on the story and if you like it, please support me by voting for it because the more comments and votes a story gets, the more attention it will receive from <b>Wattpad</b> and the further up the search page it will go to attract more potential readers.<br />
<br />
I am still writing<b> <i>Split Blood 3</i></b><i> </i>but will be taking a break to complete this challenge. <b><i>Split Blood 3</i></b> will still be published on <b>Amazon</b> and <b>Smashwords </b>in April.<br />
<br />
So, if you like a <b>Teen Fiction</b> story with a little dark fantasy edge, which will transport the reader from the human world to a fantasy world of vampires, lust, a dark hidden secret and an age old war between mythical beings to stop the extinction of earth, then this could be for you...<br />

<br />
How is your first week of 2016 going?<br />
<br />
For myself, it is the first day of trying to post the author interviews and guest posts, I participated in last week, whilst trying to continue with writing <b><i>Split Blood 3</i></b>.<br />
<br />
So, I apologise if some interviews or guest posts are not published immediately this week but it is because I have had a lot that came back at the same time and I want to give each amazing blog their own space on my site to shine!<br />

On that note, I have completed a Guest Post on the <b><a href="http://pronetocrushes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/author-louise-hermanblog-take-over.html" target="_blank">Prone to Crushes on Boys blog</a></b> last week and the topic I chose to discuss was, '<b><i><a href="http://pronetocrushes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/author-louise-hermanblog-take-over.html" target="_blank">Sex and Violence in YA Books</a></i></b>'.<br />
<br />
I chose this topic because I have read a few books that many other readers have commented, in their reviews that these books are:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">"Not suitable for those under 16 years"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">"It is glorifying abuse in relationships"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">"There is unnecessary violence which has been put in for shock value"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">"It is not romantic, it is creepy and stalker-like!"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love reviews because everyone is entitled to their opinion and I find reviews helpful when they provide constructive criticism but I find this topic especially interesting because of the age range of the YA audience and how the genre has developed over the years with the popularity of books such as Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games.</div>

Amongst the celebrations of yesterday, I have been able to start the year as I mean to go on by focusing on my work and regularly updating my social media sites.<br />
<br />
I am happy to say <b>Sophie </b>at <b><a href="http://cheekybookloverreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/interview-with-fantasy-writer-louise.html" target="_blank">A Cheeky Book Addict's Thoughts blog</a></b> has given me the opportunity to do an author interview and I must admit it is a nice start to the year.<br />

(I thought I would post this early, before I go and celebrate the start of a new year)<br /><br />I hope 2016 brings you everything 2015 didn't, along with lots more positive outcomes to look forward to!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am trying to start 2016 by being more focused on my main passion (writing), which means I need to get organised and get back to writing and ticking off items on my endless lists! lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/image.blingee.com/images19/content/output/000/000/000/815/838186298_398715.gif?6" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/image.blingee.com/images19/content/output/000/000/000/815/838186298_398715.gif?6" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />I always love to create lists!<br /><br />Whether it be notes for planning my next novel or just something to keep me focused and this year is no different.<br /><br />2015 was a year of many highs and many lows, which is why I have only made three new years resolutions that I hope are realistic and attainable:<br /><br /><b>1) Write everything week without fail<br /><br />2) Keep updating my social media sites regularly<br /><br />3) Take time out to enjoy some of my hobbies and do not waste time and money on non productive things</b><br /><br />In the past, my new years resolutions used to be unrealistic and within the first week of January I used to feel disheartened because I couldn't keep up with the strict diet plan I set or be bothered to attend the gym, I had paid an excessive deposit for.<br /><br />Which is why my theory is...as long as I work hard this year, remain focused on my goals and invest my time and energy into those who support and love me, I can't go wrong in 2016! (I hope! Lol).<br /><br />Happy 2016 guys and let me know some of your new year resolutions???</div>

Merry Christmas my Mythical friends! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you had a great day with your friends and / or family!<br /><br />Well it’s the day after Boxing Day in the cold UK and I have eaten so much, I'm barely able to type! :-)<br /><br />I'm currently sat on the sofa trying to educate my 16-year-old nephew in the brilliance that was <i>Thundercats</i> but he cannot appreciate the cheesy 80s magnificence and there is nothing I can say to convince him how amazing it was and still is! :-(<br /><br />Although I have been very lazy this week, I have looked at the YouTube channel and decided it needs a revamp and I definitely will be creating a new trailer for <i>Split Blood: The Ancient Codex - Part One</i> and <i>Split Blood: Rise of the Wolf</i>.<br /><br />I have decided not to do one for <i>The Orcus Games</i> trilogy because they are novella's and due to the vast range of mythical characters in the stories, it would take longer, than the books in the <i>Split Blood</i> series, in makeup and special effects.<br /><br /> I will post the updates on here as soon as I do them and please follow my YouTube channels for information on Book Trailers, Interviews and all other media and video related news.<div>

<br />
This will be my last Guest Post before Christmas because I have decided to take a break from all writing activities to spend some time with my family and friends (and to refresh my creative juices!).<br />
<br />
I want to say a big thank you to <b>Dianne</b> at the <b><a href="http://tometender.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/special-holiday-guest-post-from-louise.html" target="_blank">Tome Tender blog</a></b> for giving me the opportunity to discuss my views on <b>heroine's vs damsels in distress</b> in YA books.<br />

<br />
I enjoyed looking back at my favourite childhood books and looking at these stories in more detail to see what influenced me to make Faith, and the other female characters, have the strong personality traits that they do in the <b><i>Split Blood</i></b> series.<br />
