Halfway Finished Celebration/Title Suggestions?


I've officially reached the halfway point on my WIP!

I know you're thinking... "Wait...she isn't finished so why are we celebrating?" 
My answer to that is... WHY NOT? lol. 
To be honest, I love celebrating AND I love being halfway finished, which is why I'm having this mini blog party.

(this is what I am doing at my computer right now, in case you needed a visual ;))

Now I'm sure you're wondering... "What makes this celebration cool?"
Welllllll, my lovely blogging friends, I have decided to share a snippet from my WIP with all of you. 

Here's a little bit about the book:
New Adult Post Apocalyptic Romance where that things that go bump in the night are never sexy...but they are hungry...

Here is the snippet from Chapter One. Now keep in mind, please, that this is an unedited version so it has errors galore I am sure. Oh, and also--before you read--I am still stumped on a title. I really love the name Crave and I think it would be a perfect title, but it has already been used by some extremely popular authors on some extremely popular books. I want to have a title that's different. You know what I mean? 
After reading the excerpt, if you have some ideas, please feel free to share with me!! I would love to hear your thoughts! 


Here it is. The end of her life. Eve always knew it would come, and that it would be just like this. With a swarm of dead flesh and tangling limbs. She knew it wouldn’t be peaceful when she was at a ripe old age, holding her grandchild’s hand and telling stories that he or she had already heard a million times. No, she knew that had never been in the cards for her. Not with the way the world had crumbled four years ago.
People had died in waves, the sickness ravaging their bodies within days, some within hours. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they had died and actually stayed dead. Yes, that would have been idyllic. But they didn’t. Once the virus had destroyed them, they came back, a shell of their former self—a jenk. At least that’s what Eve called them. They were what bed-time stories and bad TV shows tried to make before The Reckoning came. Zombies. 


Have thoughts on my snippet? Please share with me! :)

Thanks for stopping by and celebrating! ;)

Writing, Zombies, & Why I'm Not Funny

Today I realized that I never blog anymore. Then I thought some more about it...and realized that I never actually use this blog as what I intended it for...writing updates...lol. Funny since I'm a writer and that's all I have to pretty much blog about--yet, I find myself with more guests than I can handle and NO posts from myself. *cue WERT face*


Whoops...


 

So that's what today's post is all about. ME. Are you excited? The correct answer is yes. If you aren't WELL...I can accept that. I'm not even mad.



Anyyyyywho. I'm going to get serious about with this post. I really am........butt floss. *Covers mouth* I'm sorry...sometimes I have word vomit and it's a problem. I'm a writer though, so that is a good thing, right? I think so.

Writing Update
Things with writing have been going excellent. I only wish I had time to do more of it. Luckily I am taking finals next week and then I will be home free to write and edit my heart out all summer long. 
I announced back in March that I signed a three book deal with the fabulous Dragonfairy Press. I'm super happy to say that I finished the first book in the series titled Skin Deep. That's right, I finished! 

Needless to say, I am very excited about this. The official cover reveal will be on June 4th with a release date around mid-November.
I CANNOT wait to reveal it for everyone to see. It is prettiful!! 
I will have more info on specifics about Skin Deep in the coming months.

Something cool
I was invited to do a blog radio interview a couple of weeks ago, which was super fun (after I hyperventilated and chewed all of my nails off). LOL jk. I didn't really do that. I don't think... I can't remember much since I blacked out halfway through...JK. The fabulous ladies at Indie Review Behind the Scenes Internet Radio took care of me. On the show I talk about my writing, especially HerStory and my contribution to the anthology. If you're interested in the interview, check it out here.

What am I working on now?
If you're curious to know--Right now I am working on New Adult Romance Novel set in North Texas in a post-apocalyptic world where the things that go bump in the night  are never sexy...but they are hungry...

I will leave you with that image. 


Thanks for stopping by!! :)

Now you're asking..."Wait Megan, why aren't you funny?"
My response: "I think my butt floss joke answers that question."
