Book Blurb

Fairy, Texas. A small town like any other.

Laney Harris didn't want to live there. When her mother remarried and moved them to a town where a date meant hanging out at the Sonic, Laney figured that "boring" would have a whole new meaning. A new stepsister who despised her and a high school where she was the only topic of gossip were bad enough. But when she met the school counselor (and his terminal bad breath), she grew suspicious. Especially since he had wings that only she could see. And then there were Josh and Mason, two gorgeous glimmering-eyed classmates whose interest in her might not be for the reasons she hoped. Not to mention that dead guy she nearly tripped over in gym class. 

She was right. Boring took on an entirely new dimension in Fairy, Texas.

Book Excerpt

Fairy High could have fit into one wing of my old school. The three-story, red brick building looked like it had been around for at least a century—it actually had carvings over two of the doorways that read “Men’s Entrance” and “Women’s Entrance.” I was glad to see that none of the kids paid any attention to those instructions.
            “Counselor’s office,” I muttered to myself. At least I wasn’t starting in the middle of a term—though given the fact that there were fewer than 500 students in the entire high school, I didn’t think I was going to be able to go unnoticed, even in the general bustle of the first day back from summer vacation.
            I walked through the door marked “Men’s Entrance,” just be contrary, and faced a long hallway lined with heavy wooden doors. The spaces in between the doors were filled with lockers and marble staircases with ornate hand-rails flanked each end of the long hallway. Students poured in behind me, calling out greetings to each other and jostling me off to the side while I tried to get my bearings. None of the doors obviously led to a main office; I was going to have to walk the entire length of the hallway. And people were already starting to stare and whisper.
            God. I hated being the new kid.            I took a deep breath and stepped forward. I made it halfway down the hall without seeing anything informative—all the doors had numbers over them and many of them had name plaques, but neither of those things did me any good since I didn’t know the name or office number for the counselor. I was almost getting desperate enough to ask Kayla, but of course she was nowhere to be seen.
            I turned back from scanning the halls for her and caught sight of the first adult I’d seen—and almost screamed. As it was, I gasped loudly enough for a guy walking past me to do a double take. The man standing in the open doorway was tall, over six feet, and way skinny—so emaciated that it looked like you ought to be able to see his ribs through his shirt, if his shirt didn’t hang so loosely on him. He had white hair that stuck out in tufts, thin lips, a sharp nose, and pale blue eyes that narrowed as he watched the kids walk past—and all the kids gave him a wide berth without even seeming to notice that they did so. He stood in an empty circle while students streamed around him in the crowded hallway.
            But none of that was what made me almost scream.
            For a moment, just as I’d turned toward him, I could have sworn that I’d seen the shadow of two huge, black, leathery wings stretched out behind him.

When Callie Taylor died, she expected to go to heaven—or maybe hell. Instead, when she was murdered in Dallas by some jerk with a knife and a bad-mommy complex, she went to Alabama. Now she’s seen another murder, and she can’t just let it go; she must find a way to make sure the police figure out who really killed Molly McClatchy before an innocent man goes to prison, all the while trying to determine how and why she woke up dead in Alabama.

Book Blurb

Suicide is selfish.

It tells the world that you are weak. It tells the world your family and friends have failed. It leaves them with guilt that they could have done more but didn't. It tells them they are clueless and helpless.

I am weak, but I am not selfish.

My suicide will not leave my family and friends with guilt and shame; it will leave them thankful that they knew me for the short time I was here.

- Cosette Hugo

Her brother died. Her parents divorced. Her high school bully is relentless. Cosette doesn't have a lot to live for, but it isn't until she accidentally kills someone that Cosette makes the decision to take her own life.

Unwilling to bring shame to her mom, best friend Mattie, or her boyfriend Chris, Cosette decides the best method of suicide is to become a victim of the local serial killer, The Poser. But every time she goes out to find him she gets attacked; her instincts take over, and she ends up killing her attackers. This quickly leads to unbearable guilt. Desperate to finish this before she gets caught or racks up more victims, Cosette does the unthinkable.

"And when I reach my final goal, to meet my brother in heaven, and we're looking down at my victim in Hell, he will say to me 'Well done, Cosette. What a Beautiful Suicide.'"



Excerpt 

“No, I just want to apologize.” He loosely holds my hand and walks me to my couch. “I crossed a line I said I wouldn’t and you warned me. You know enough about me to know that I’m no boy scout. But I want you to know that I know enough about you that I think I should stop asking questions.”

I hate what he’s saying to me, but before I get mad at him, he holds up a finger. “I have something for you.”

“Do I want it?”

“Actually, I have two things, and yes, you’ll want one and need the other.” He holds his fist out. I put my hand underneath, waiting to catch whatever he drops. “This I stole, because that’s just what I do, but it doesn’t make it any less meaningful, okay?”

“Okay.” I grin at his cute introduction.

“If you’ve changed your mind about committing to me, then let me know now before I open my hand and look stupid.”

“You saw me completely naked. I think that’s commitment enough.”

“Very true, good answer.” He opens his hand and drops a small ring with two diamonds separated by a deep blue sapphire. “This is a promise ring. It’s not an engagement ring or anything like that. It’s just me pledging myself to you. If you accept me, then accept the ring. If you aren't sure, then don’t take it. I know it’s old fashioned, but I’m an old fashioned kind of guy.”

“I’ll take it and I’ll take you.” He slides it on my finger while I cry. I lunge at him and kiss him. He smiles and kisses me back.

He’s perfect, just perfect.

I wish I could be like him, so loving, and thoughtful, and kind—but I’m not. I knew when I started that I would not be good for Chris. Shit, I’m on a suicide mission and here he wants to pledge himself to me.

“Chris, I can’t take this.”

“What? Rejection already?”

I pull away from him, feeling the vacuuming black hole sucking onto me, letting me know it’s there waiting for me. “I’m not good enough for you, Chris. I can’t take you down with me.”

“What do you mean down with you? Cosette, I’ll go anywhere with you. You’re perfect for me.”

“The Cozy you know is not the real me. You are pledging yourself to my body, not my soul.”

“I don’t understand. You said you loved me.” His voice cracks, breaking my heart.

“Oh my God, I do! But my soul is dying. It started dying a long time ago and keeps dying the more I cross these lines. It’s not fair for me to offer you something that isn't perfect. I can’t take this from you. I’m not worthy.” I take the ring off and hand it back to him.

He stares at it, confused. “Did I happen to mention that this was stolen?”

I chuckle through tears.



Author Bio

I was born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Family life was rough with a religious mother and a short-tempered, alcoholic father. (Picture Archie Bunker) My escape was reading and music. I think I was the only kid with my nose in a book during the Air Force Academy football games.

   As a teen I was an 80's new waver with black shaved hair, a pale face and bright red lipstick. I was very self-destructive and always got into trouble. Needing a change I followed my father's footsteps and joined the Air Force.

   During my four year enlistment I was stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada where I met my wonderful husband. We both got out of the military and moved to Southern Indiana, on the outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky. I have two teenage boys whom I try to embarrass but have yet to succeed, they have great senses of humor.

   I wrote my first novel over ten years ago and was on the verge of having it published when, sadly, my publisher passed away. I shelved my books for a few years to work on our family business. Now I'm back to writing and have decided my fate is in my own hands. And since I hate being told what to do I am self-publishing.

First off, welcome to my blog. My name is Jillian Kleine Der Löwe. I pursued my dream and became a published author.

My blog will consist of three types of posts:

1) Posts about my current and future releases.

2) Most Fridays my blog will feature a series of posts entitled "For Writers".

3) My blog is open to authors, bloggers and publishing professionals as a stop on blog tours. I am open to doing book blasts, book reviews, character interviews, guest posts, interviews, promotions, etc.

The nature of my "For Writers" posts are to share everything that I have learned about writing and publishing so that you too can pursue your dreams by publishing your stories. If you're a writer and you're reading my blog, you're embarking on the journey of writing and publishing. Congratulations, a positive experience awaits you! There is nothing more rewarding than publishing your stories. You will find that publishing opens you up to a wide variety of opportunities. My posts will introduce you to and educated you about the wide world of publishing. I will take you through the whole entire process from creating content, to publishing and promoting your stories. I also aim to teach you about the various opportunities that you can pursue after publishing. I will also be reviewing blogs, books, products, services, software and websites that may be helpful to you throughout this journey.

Here is a rundown of the areas of writing and publishing that my "For Writers" posts will feature:

1. Inspiration - These posts will help you discover what makes you tick and how/where to find your creative muse. 

2. Creating Content - These posts will take you through the Brainstorming, Character Development, Plot Development and Outlining phases. These posts will also help you identify in which genre your books will fit.

8. Publication - These posts will teach you how to publish your books online; with special attention devoted to Amazon's analytics, logarithms and metrics such as book descriptions, book titles and keywords in order to maximize your rank and sales. I will also teach you the differences between traditional and indie publishing, so that you can make the best decision as to which option is right for you. For those of you wishing to go the traditional route I will write posts about seeking agents as well as writing query letters and synopsis's.

9. Marketing and Promotions - These posts will teach you how to market and promote your work on book related social networking sites such as Goodreads and eBook promo sites such as BookBub.

10. Reviews - These posts will teach you how to get reviews and how to cope with negative ones. 

11. Fan Communications - These posts will educate you on the different types of fans communications and how to communicate with fans effectively. 

My posts will also feature interviews with successful authors, literary agents and publishers; as well as pioneers of the indie publishing community. 

All in all, writing these posts will truly be a rewarding experience not only for you, but also for me. My only wish is to take everything I have learned and pay it forward to you, so that you too can succeed as an author.

Thank you! I hope you all have a smashing day!

Stay Wicked,
Jill
