Archangel Update

Hello everyone, I apologize for the long silence!

The IMMORTAL re-write is coming along nicely. It'll be awhile until it's completed, but hoping for it to be finished before the Fall.

I have written FREEDOM (book 3), just waiting for it to be edited.

I am currently writing book 4. Really excited to continue writing the series!

Currently don't have any other updates, but will have some this Summer!

IMMORTAL Rewrite!

Hello,

Just wanted to send out a little update on the Immortal rewrite.

The majority of the changes have gone to Part 1 - more details, added information, more backstory, more facts, etc..

Both parts are in the process of being re-edited as well.

Shooting for a Summer re-release!

The Archangel Series Update

Hello,

So I've been back and forth about something for awhile now and I've finally made up my mind.

I am going to have IMMORTAL re-edited. In addition to this, I'm also going to add a few things into the first book. Mainly minor things, just more details of things. But I'm also going to have the book be in two parts - but it will still be one book.

**SPOILER ALERT**

So if you've read IMMORTAL, Part 1 will end when Alexander becomes immortal. Part 2 will begin with the next chapter to follow Alexander's immortality.

**SPOILERS DONE**

The whole thing has been eating me away and I feel like this is what's keeping my book and my series off the best seller's list and top books on Amazon. I just want my series to be the best that it can be. So with a new editor fixing IMMORTAL and with me adding details to the book, it will be an amazing read - I assure you.

To all of those who have bought and read the first book already, I do apologize and eventually I will try to give you the new copy for free.

Thank you for reading.

Resistance Reviews On Amazon

RESISTANCE

5/5: "The battles are bloodier, the romances are better, and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially in the final few chapters. The editing is much, much better in this book! Very happy to see that! Can't wait for book 3!"

4/5: "What a difference a good editor made. The first book had a great story line but was difficult to read. This one continued the story, yet was so much smoother to read. I can't wait for the next one."

The Archangels Q&A

Hello,

A few days ago, I asked fans to send their questions about the series. Below are the questions answered.

Q: How many books will be in The Archangel Series? 
A: There will be eight books in the whole series. However, I am strongly considering making short in-between stories to tell the untold stories that didn't make it to any of the books. 

Q: Do you know how your series will end? 
A: Yes, I know exactly how it will end. Thinking about it makes me sad and happy at the same time. I will miss these characters, but I'm excited to write my next series as well. 

Q: What roles do female characters take on in your series?
A: The female characters in my books take on a bunch of different roles including the leader, the warrior, the damsel, the lady, the villain, and the victim. I think it's important to have both strong male and female characters because not only does it make it more realistic, but I also believe it helps the story move forward in more ways than one. 

Q: How did you come up with the idea for the series?
A: I believe it was the second episode of Supernatural that gave me the idea. The episode featured a wendigo (native american werewolf) and the brothers were hunting it and that's how I got the idea for the entire series. 

Q: How does your series differ from Twilight? 
A: Twilight is a love story between a mortal girl, a vampire, and a skinwalker. Though The Archangel Series does have romantic sub-plots, the series centers upon the never-ending war against evil. The series is a bloody and gritty and the only thing I can compare it to would be the Underworld movies. 

Q: Why is it called The Archangel Series?A: In the books, there is an organization that has dedicated their lives to fighting evil and they are called The Archangels. Most of the characters in the series fight with the Archangels. 

Q: What will the title of book 3 be?
A: Book 3 will be called FREEDOM. 

Q: What do each of your books represent? 
A: IMMORTAL represented family. RESISTANCE represented discovery. FREEDOM will represent independence. 

Q: How do you come up with your characters' names?
A: It depends on the character. A lot of times, I will do a search for a certain type of name - region, ethnicity, time era, etc.. For the main characters, Alexander and Marcus. I got Alexander from Alexander the Great and Marcus from Marcus Aurelius. Both strong names and figures that I've personally respected. 

Q: Have you ever used people you know to create a character? 
A: Yes. I've used appearance for some and personality for others. For instance, Sinead's appearance is based off someone I used to know. Alexander's personality is based off my own. 

Q: If they were to make a movie based off your books, who would you want to play the characters? 
A: I've given this a lot of thought actually. Perfect fit for Alexander and Marcus would be Liam and Chris Hemsworth. 

Thanks for reading!
