How I envision the Regency's palace...

I'm sure that whenever we read something we all envision the characters and places a little differently. So, I've added a picture that I hope gives you a visual idea of what one of the major places in this novel looks like.

In The Crimson Bond, Brooke is kidnapped and taken to the Regency's castle by... well, I'll let you read and find that part out ;)

But, the picture below is the closest depiction I can find of what I imagined the Regency's castle to look like.


And a lot happens to Brooke at this location. Brooke discovers a lot about her past, takes her relationship with Alex to the next level, really gets to know Ethan better, and well, once again, I'd better save the big life changer that happens for when you read the book.

Until then, here is a quote from Alex to Brooke taken from a scene in The Crimson Bond that occurs at, where else? The castle pictured above :)

"You are the air I breathe, the essence that gives me life, and the only thing that makes living an eternity worth it."

And get ready, because Book 2 of The Crimson Bond series is releasing sometime this month!!!

XOXO,

Part 1~ Getting to know me...

 
 
Introducing my three little loves...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
~Hailey~
 
 
 
 
 
~Mary Kathryn~
 
 
 
 
~Bella~
 
 
 
 
 
These three are definitely my number 1's and my biggest fans. They have been so excited during the journey of writing and releasing The Crimson Bond. It still amazes me the absolute faith they have in me. They never once doubted that I would finish the novel, or publish it, or that people would read it.
 
I have to say that there were definitely times when I was not quite as confident as they were! But that is one of the many things I love about them...
 
So now that I have introduced you to some of the biggest, most important parts of me, stay tuned for Part 2 of getting to know me!
 
XOXO,

Start your New Year by treating yourself!

There are very few things as a mother of three that I can do on a regular basis to treat myself.

My days are filled with cleaning, cooking, helping with homework, carpooling, laundry, and the list goes on. Add to that working a couple of days a week as a nurse in either the emergency room or clinic and that leaves practically zero time for myself.

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add that as a wife to a police officer, I am often juggling these things by myself. Which after almost 9 years, I am completely used to it. But, it narrows the me time dramatically.

So what do I do to have a little me time and treat myself?

I read.  (And write, of course!)

And what's better than a nice long bath, glass of wine, and a great romance novel?

I can't think of anything better.

So this New Year when you're trying to take a little time for yourself... Order yourself a great book and pour yourself a glass of wine after putting the kids down for the night.

That's what I'll be doing!!

And may I make a recommendation? Try The Crimson Bond on amazon. :)

XOXO,
Erika

A secret about Brooke's name....

For those of you that have already read or are reading The Crimson Bond, you know that Brooke is the lead female charachter and that it's her story we follow from beginning to end.

How did I choose the name Brooke, you ask?

Easy. I love that name. It's my oldest daughter, Hailey's, middle name. I love it so much, in fact, that I had considered using it as a first name each time I was trying to pick names for her little sisters.

I never did, but it was an easy choice when I was deciding on a name for the lead female charachter.

So, that leaves me in a bit of a dilemma, you see. Because, of course, her 7 year old sister wants to know why I didn't use her middle name, Kathryn. And, of course, I love that name too.

So, I came to a decision and I'll let you in on it.

I have three girls and there will be three books in the series, so, I have promised my daughters that since I used the oldest's middle name in the first book, I will be using my second child's middle name, Kathryn, somewhere in the second book and my third daughter's middle name, Faith, somewhere in the third book.

And that solves that.

Hope you enjoyed this little behind the scenes story!

XOXO,

Erika

More thanks from me for your support of The Crimson Bond!

I cannot thank you enough to everyone who has downloaded The Crimson Bond! I have gotten some wonderful feedback and I so love hearing what you think!! It is such a great feeling to hear that someone can't put the book down or can't wait for the sequel.

This has been such a blessing to me. To get to write something and have people enjoy it is the epitomy of perfect. I loved writing Alex and Brooke's story and I can't wait to continue their journey.

I never imagined the response I would get to the release of The Crimson Bond. It went beyond my wildest imagination.

Thank you so much to each and everyone of you that have downloaded this book! You are the BEST.

XOXO,

Erika
