Be ready to be shocked and surprised over the twists and turns and ending of the first book and the new book! I did enjoy putting these things in to delight the reader who thinks he or she can figure out the ending or unlock the mystery. There are also some light moments in this book which I put in for my own sake. I think you might appreciate them too.

Please let me share with you how I feel about this sequel. I have to admit this book, along with the first book, have taken a toll on me. They have completely drained me due to the subject matter. I feel uncomfortable with violence. For those of you who are waiting for this book, I hope you enjoy it! It will be my last book in this genre. I will continue to provide mysteries without all the gore and violence. It is too upsetting to me and my beta readers.

I made sure to bring closure to everything from the first book. There will be nothing to continue on in this storyline.

Most of the time I hate to leave my characters in my stories. I develop a bond with them and wish them well and want to continue creating more stories about them. But this time, I feel relief to let these characters go. They have tested my patience and my stamina to go any further with them.

Those of you reading this must think this is strange. To me it is too. I have never felt like this about any of my other books. While I was writing these two books I was depressed, tired, frustrated, angry with an all over feeling of melancholy until I finished them. To read them again and again for editing brings back these strong feelings.

Authors out there who write violent storylines, how do you feel when you write this type of book?

I look forward with great joy to continuing my middle-grade/preteen/YA series which I began a few months ago. I feel joy, lightheartedness, and free when I write in this genre. I have found my niche.

Please feel free to let me know how you feel about this new book and the first one, Hunting Mariah. What do you think of my MG/PT/YA books in comparison? Do you see what I mean?

There are all kinds of books written in a multitude of genres to cover all tastes in reading. I hope you lovers of mysteries with a violent nature will love these two books. Reviews are welcome and greatly appreciated!

Now for those of you who long for me to get back to my children’s books and MG/PT/YA, I promise to get right back to them once Mariah’s Revenge is completed.

Thank you for stopping by and for your continued support! I couldn’t do this without you readers, fans and friends!

REMEMBER: READING GIVES YOU WINGS TO FLY! SOAR WITH JEMSBOOKS.COM!

Blessings & Hugs!
