December is here and this year has been a wild roller coaster ride with the Unholy Pursuit Saga. Between the book fairs, book presentations, marketing, writing, and re-writing. I have been very busy.
It has been a fun but exhausting year but I look forward to the coming year to be equally as exciting.
Seeing the series live and in print has been a dream come true.
To understand my excitement one would have to know that this series was started before the days of ebooks and instant publishing. It was started when the only way to get published was a publishing company accept you.
I will admit, I didn’t look for a publisher until years later. I was happy writing for myself and writing what I love. I find that is when a writer does his or her best.
I look forward to the coming holidays and new year to bring with them another blast of fun with the series.
Don’t forget to have fun with your books.

A. White, an award winning former librarian, who is also a long time member of Romantic Time and Publisher's Weekly. A. White has been writing for over fifteen years. She took classes in creative writing in college, specializing in ancient myths and legends. and later at a local community center while living in Chicago. In college she won the national contest to verbally list every country in the world, it's capital and ingenious language. Her works are mainly horror, fantasy, extreme, and sci-fi as well as, as some may says, "the truly strange predicament and puzzling." Books that I've written are "Clash with the Immortals, and eleven others which are part of the "Unholy Pursuit saga,". She has been working on the Chronicles since 2007. She wished to complete them all before introducing them to public so the readers wouldn't have to for the continuation to be written.
The ideas of the book come from classic literature such as whose work greatly influence the world world such as Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle and many more. The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints. I wanted to show them as real flesh and blood with thoughts, desires and yearning as any human. Not as they are so often depicted. So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.

It’s good that a writer remember to enjoy their own books.

Yes, it is. Sometimes we authors get caught up in the marketing and every other frenzy that comes after the book is published that we forget to enjoy the reason it was written to begin with.

Let me guess? When you presented this manuscript to that publisher they said it wasn’t what they were looking for at this time but obviously it was. They knew you wasn’t going to agree to let them rewrite Ana and Bea as some air-headed bimbos.
The link below is what they should have done and given you credit for the inspiration. I disagree that no idea are original. Some are. And Alma’s concept was an original.

I think this is the wrong post but that’s ok. You have a right to be upset you helped me with the finishing touch of this book. I bounced ideas off you for months.

I don’t know for sure did I contact this publishing house or not. May have. One while I was sending out so many copies I lost track of who I sent a copy. I haven’t checked my records yet.

A major illness caused a set back three years ago. I’m grateful someone still wants to read my word.
