 About the Book white
Once Chance Night by Eliza Boyd
Series: Make a Change #1
Genre: New Adult Contemporary
Pages: 188
Published: May 15, 2015 by Patchwork Press



Book Description:

On the surface, Chelsea Greer has it all: A loving husband. A nice house. A good job.
In reality, she works hard to maintain the illusion that is her life. She’s also missing the most important thing:
Love.
One night could change her life. One night could give her the strength to rediscover what’s important. In one night, she could find love when she most needs it and least expects it.
All Chelsea has to do is follow her heart after One Chance Night.

Review

One Chance Night was filled with intense emotion and had me swooning, swearing, wishing I could reach through the pages of the book and strangle a certain character and become best friends with others.

473555

The novel had the right combination of romance mixed with difficult, life changing decisions. The reader followed Chelsea, who wasn’t perfect, had made her share of mistakes, and was in an awful situation, but I couldn’t help but feel for her. She was a creature of routine, and it took taking a chance and breaking that routine for her to get a much needed wakeup call, pushing her to change her life for the better.

I couldn’t help but immediately start the next chapter to find out what would happen next and what Chelsea would do. The words flowed and my eyes floated across them until the final page, which left me with a perfect ending to the story, not making me suffer through one of those awful cliff hangers, but I still wanted more of the beautiful characters who made me feel so much. If you read this book, which you should, then we are all in luck because it is a series, while the main characters won’t be central, they will make appearances so we can get our fix.

Guitarist on stage for background, soft and blur concept

Eliza Boyd did an incredible job painting the pictures, introducing the characters and making them feel real, and created a poignant story that I think many people can relate to in one way or another, whether they survived a bad relationship or have fallen in love. This debut novel will make you stop and take notice of this new author and I know she will have much more to share with us.

Take a chance on One chance Night, you won’t regret it! I certainly can’t wait to read what she writes next!

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

How Songs Made it to the OCN Playlist

    1. Sam Hunt – Take Your Time
      I first heard this song in November of 2014. On a trip to Houston for a book event, I rented a car—something I normally don’t do when I travel alone. I heard the song each of the four times I was in the car, and I absolutely fell in love with it. The spoken word, the lyrics, the feel of the song—totally dug it. And I so badly wanted to write the book about it. Then, in March of this year, I heard the song on the radio and it reminded me so much of Chelsea’s story, which I’d finished writing in October—before I’d even heard the song—that it made me cry. And I realized I’d already written the book for this song. 🙂
      (Little known fact: The song actually appears in the book. It was a last-minute change when I made that realization in March. Originally, it was Thomas Rhett’s “It Goes Like This.”)
    2. Brett Eldredge – Don’t Ya
      This is on the list, but it doesn’t appear in the book. It’s the song that inspired the whole thing though—hence Brett’s name. I heard this one and pictured chapters 27-29. Something about the song triggered that whole scene, and I knew I had to write it. But I didn’t know what came before all of that, so I had to work through Chelsea’s story a bit backward. Knowing that it’d all be worth it in the end made her road easier to navigate. 🙂
    3. Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
      I knew I had to include a wider spectrum of country music. I used new music and a song or two from the ’90s, so I wanted to add older songs. With the girls being at an open-mic night, I wrote in a band that covered older songs. And I didn’t want them to only show up just because, so this song and the Conway Twitty song I mention in the book come up again later on. But I love this song so much. I mean, truly. “The taste of love is sweet / when hearts like ours meet.” That’s a great line!
    4. Blake Shelton – Mine Would Be You
      Brett and Ian sing this song at a pivotal point in the book, and I think it really encompasses the feel of the moment. This song is all about regret and what you wish were different in regards to love. And at that point in the book, Brett is certainly feeling that way. It’s a very emotional song, and I think it brings some more emotion to the book when it shows up. 🙂
    5. Sara Bareilles – Brave
      OCN is all about Chelsea and her journey, and truly, she needs to become brave in order to deal with all of the choices she’s made and make anything in her life different. This song represents that. Chelsea doesn’t have a lot going for her at the beginning, and she recognizes that it’s her fault. But in order to change, she has to do things she hasn’t done, which is the nature of life. I love her journey, and I hope you do too. 🙂

Eliza Boyd is a contemporary women’s fiction and romance author. Also an avid reader, she writes novels, short stories, poetry, and whatever else strikes her fancy. Born and raised in Northern Illinois, she now lives in sunny Arizona with her husband and her plethora of animals.

About the MAKE A CHANGE series:
One Chance Night, Two Pink Lines, and Three Years Gone are about women who are at turning points in their lives—and fall in love in the process. Each book focuses on one woman, and the women are connected to the other in some way. Though each could be read as a stand-alone as far as the main story is concerned, you’ll likely want to read them in order to the get most out of the series.

The Curious Tales of Gabrielle by Zachary Paul Chopchinski Blog Tour (GUEST POST)

Hi Everyone! Today I am part of the, The Curious Tales of Gabrielle blog tour! I’m excited to share this book with all of you. Instead of hearing me ramble, check the post below filled with tons of content including an excerpt and a giveaway!

About the Book whiteimage01

The Curious Tale of Gabrielle
Author: Zachary Paul Chopchinski
Genre: Young Adult, Fiction, Adventure, Historical Fiction
Book 1 in The Curious Tale of Gabrielle book series

A young Gabrielle is driven by her will to explore and see new things. She cannot stop or rest until all within her reach has been experienced and explored. Driven by an astounding will and lack of common fear, she finds herself able to face things most adults might fall before. Yet has there been a journey that has been meant specifically for her all along? Is there a path that has been created just for her to travel?

Follow Gabrielle as she ventures through the lives of many with the experience of only her own. What will happen as she discovers the lives—and tragedies—of the souls who choose her to see their story? It’s a journey through history, life, and love unlike anything that could be imagined—except perhaps by a young girl.

excerpt

“Hello…?” Gabrielle pleaded with the silence, hoping for a response from anybody at this point. She could feel that something was wrong, as she found herself looking at the vase of flowers that she had admired the day before. She could feel her heart stop as she looked at the once beautiful vase of flowers. Something was terribly wrong, the flowers were all dead. Not only were they dead, but they had been dead for some time, by the look of them, as they were dried with most of their petals on the table. Gabrielle’s mouth hung ajar in shock. These flowers had been alive and vibrant not several hours ago. How is this possible?

The urge to run came over her, as all of her senses were telling her to leave now and not look back. Something was wrong and she could feel it. She wasn’t sure how, but she could feel that whatever it was, was in the next room, lying just out of site. Gabrielle wasn’t sure how she knew this, but something was telling her as though it was being whispered into her ear. She stood frozen in fear for what felt like a lifetime when she heard the ‘click’ again.

guest post

As I have begun my journey into the realm of being an author, I would have never guessed the importance of having your own set of rituals, standards, and practices. Rituals become just as important as the piece in which I’m currently developing. Do you have a ritual? The certain thing or circumstance that—without its blessing—you might be rendered unable to complete that which you are tearing at your soul to master? I didn’t realize until trying to best my procrastinating ways that my rituals are very important to me.

Firstly, I find myself to be a bit of a nyctophiliac, as It’s the night that really brings my best writing out. I’m not really sure whether it’s the serenity of the nighttime, or if it’s the calming darkness as the world sleeps, but this is my most adored time to write.

The next thing that’s important to my writing practices is the presence of music. I have a very particular playlist that is composed of different songs that elicit specific emotions. With this playlist, I find that I can write a more effective scene. The emotions from the music help me ensure that the reader is experiencing the same feelings and sensations as my characters.

Finally, location location location! Where I’m writing can directly effect the quality and quantity of what I write. I prefer to be in a comfortable place with little distraction (I have a slight attention deficit problem) so that I can complete what I have goaded myself at. Generally, I lock myself in my office at home and don’t emerge until I have completed my allotment for that day.

At first I thought my rituals were me just being silly and overly dramatic. A poetic license can be a curse and I felt a bit like a whining jerk. Until I realized the importance of inspiration in writing. For anybody out there reading this and finding themselves in a difficult place with their writings, I urge you to find the mind set that you were in when you began your current project an go back to it. Your inspiration and comfort with yourself and surroundings are just as important to writing and your hands and your heart.

Unleashed: Young Adult (YA) twist on Jekyll and Hyde

Unleashed by:

Rachel McClellan

Genres: Romance, Thriller, Science Fiction

355 pages

Release Date: September 9, 2014

Seventeen-year-old Claire Williams’ tough upbringing has taught her how to throw a punch or two to survive, especially when it involves a man’s unwanted attention. But her strength waivers when she visits Bodian Dynamics, a medical research facility, and stumbles upon classified information—someone has stolen a drug that not only changes a person’s appearance, but will also unleash a dark and evil alter ego.

After an intimidating security guard threatens the lives of her friends if she speaks to anyone about the incident, Claire pretends the drug never existed. That is until she meets Gage, a teenage boy who doesn’t seem to have a conscience and who is hell-bent on making her just like him by unleashing her dark side.

But Claire knows a secret—he can only die while in his normal state. And since Gage knows personal information about her, Claire thinks she knows who it is: either her best friend or her recent boyfriend. And once she figures out which boy Gage is hiding behind, she’s going to kill him, even if it breaks her heart.

excerpt

A moment passed. Enough time for him to decide.

He straightened and lifted the cover on the center console. He ignored the blood dripping off his arm and removed an almost full vial. The other night he’d only taken a few drops, just enough to leave the world behind. And nothing bad had happened. He seemed to be able to control it the more he drank. The image of Mindy, stiff and cold, came to his mind. That won’t happen again, he insisted. Prayed.

The vial was warm in his palm and he rolled it around with his thumb. The bluish liquid rocked back and forth, back and forth. A drop of blood fell from his hand onto his lap. Just a little more to silence the brothers, pain and darkness.

TV SHOWS MAKE MY WRITING BETTER

I admit it. I like television. I watch a lot of it, thanks to the miraculous invention of TiVo. Magical hour happens when the kids are in bed. I grab my mounds of laundry, sit in front of my talking educational box and begin to learn.

Just what am I learning by watching singing teenagers, a vampire love triangle, and brain-eating zombie’s? I am learning how to pace a story. I am learning how to bring tension into every scene. And I am learning how to increase the stakes.

Today’s shows are geared towards audience’s whose attention spans are not easy to keep.

Sometimes I wonder if an amazing book like Pride and Prejudice would work in today’s marketwhere teenagers and a lot of adults expect instant gratification.

So where does that leave us writers? Somehow we need to find a balance of writing as good as the Greats while incorporating the fast paced styles of today. What are some of your favorite shows to watch?

I’m super excited to reveal the cover for Shift by Karina Espinosa (A day late. SORRY!)! I had the pleasure of meeting karina and sharing a table with her at the Ribbons for Cancer Author Event in Augusta Maine last summer. I’m excited for the release of her next book! Congrats Karina! The cover is gorgeous, don’t you think?
Shift  by  Karina  Espinosa
Releasing February 10th, 2015
It’s hard enough being an undergraduate student, an intern at Downtown Manhattan’s police station, and a bouncer at a local bar. Add her now ex-boyfriend who recently dumped her for the school’s resident bimbo—oh, and she’s a werewolf.
Mackenzie Grey meets her match when she is kidnapped by the Brooklyn Pack and tossed between Sebastian and Jonah—the Alpha and the Beta. Being a lone-wolf in the city is dangerous, and now that the Pack has found her, so can every supernatural being in the Tri-State area. And not even her sarcastic, smart mouth can get her out of this.
When a string of kidnappings involves Mackenzie in supernatural politics, she questions her new acquaintances and finds unlikely allies. Can she escape Pack law and keep her freedom—or will she be condemned to an unwanted path?

Happy New Year Everyone! 2014 had its bumps, but all around it was a great year. Here are some of my highlights from 2014 in no particular order:

2014-Numbers-Happy-2014-Wallpaper-New-Year-Image-1024x768

  1. I published my first book.
  2. I declared a college major.

  8. I realized that even though I’m lacking in friends that I get to hang out with in person, I met some amazing people online because of blogging before 2014 and continued to have them as friends through the year. We became friends in a nontraditional way, but as we have talked, shared interests, and been there for each other, these online friends have turned into some of my best friends. Michele and Mickey, thank you for continuing to be such amazing friends through 2014 and I’m super excited to continue our friendship in 2015. I also made a new friend because of blogging in 2014, Tiffany, who has made me laugh so hard it hurts on more than one occasion. Thank you for coming into my life this year. You three girls make life more interesting, are all very thoughtful, caring, and all around amazing and I love having you all in my life. Thank you for making 2014 fantastic. I hope 2015 will be the year I can meet you all in person, but if not, I know it will happen eventually.
  9. My husband supporting me, taking care of me, making me see things clearly, and being my best friend. Thank you for taking on 2014 with me, and conquering it by my side. I’m so grateful for you and love waking up next to you each morning. I love you to infinity and beyond.
  10. My husband and I got our first Christmas tree together and decorated it.
  11. My husband and I starting our own family traditions together.
  12. All of the new little memories I made.
  13. Reading new books.
  14. Taking some negative things in life and creating poetry out of it.
  15. Writing.
  16. Adopting my new dog Harley.
  17. Reviews for Rain.
  18. Networking.
  19. receiving messages about my book meaning a lot to the sender.
  20. Tiffany and Amanda surprising me by making teaser pictures for my book after reading it.

And the list goes on and on :).

???????????????????????????I’m entering the New Year missing my grandfather, who passed away in the end of 2014, but I have a lot to look forward to.

  1. Graduating with a BA in Communications.
  2. My nephew being born and meeting him.
  3. Hopefully publishing another book.
  4. Possibly doing a writing retreat with Mickey, Tiffany, and Stefanie.
  5. Writing Before the Rain.
  6. Writing more of my millions of other ideas.
  7. Spending time with my husband.
  8. Starting a new career.

And whatever else 2015 brings! I can’t wait to see what the year brings. I hope 2014 was amazing for you, if not, 2015 is a blank slate, so make 2015 spectacular either way. Take time to appreciate the little things, be kind, thoughtful, positive, and pay it forward.

Thank you everyone who had an impact on my year for 2014! I look forward to the memories we will all make this year!

Warning: I’m a Writer

I think it is only fair that I warn everyone that I am a writer. You see, I’ve had some people pull some interesting things lately, and before that, oh the stories I could tell… Which is actually my point. I write stories and the things you do may end up in a book I write. If you are a jerk-face, you might be written into a book and then killed off, or if the action is interesting enough it might be put in a book, so don’t do anything to me you wouldn’t want the world to read about. Authors draw inspiration from many things, and if you wrong me, I doubt you want me to use that inspiration, but I will. I’m all about turning a negative into a positive, so if it means turning something bad that happened into a good book. That sounds good to me, so on second thought, have at it. Give me a good story to tell. I’m up for the challenge :).
