Breaking News – Aurelia and Ceithin

 

Breaking News:I just unpublished Fractured Moon from Amazon- So I can go back and fix everything I want to. It’s been a year long decision in the making, and I’ve finally decided to just go ahead and do it. No time like the present. Fractured Moon will be a stand alone novel when it’s finished, and all the loose ends will be tied up. All the villains will be dealt with. There will be more action, more romance, more dialogue. I’ve learned so much over the past year, and I want to make Aurelia and Ceithin proud.

I’m happy with Fractured Moon’s new direction, I hope you will be too. — feeling excited.

Fractured Moon

Aurelia Fridell will always be a freak. Born to werewolf parents, her twin brother Ville can shift forms, but she can’t. Twenty-five years searching for answers yields nothing.As her thirtieth birthday approaches, isolation creeps in, and worry settles in her gut. She accepted her existence long ago, and yet lately, she’s felt off-kilter. Eyes follow her, prickling her senses. Her headaches are getting worse.

Is she paranoid, or is there really someone, or something, stalking her? Watching. Waiting. Drumming fingers to a sinister beat she can’t hear.

Time will tell.

Ceithin Starkley isn’t looking for a mate. Especially now. In fact, he doesn’t believe in true-matings at all. While he is being recruited for a new job, a scent on the wind stuns him, and he finds himself fighting an inner battle he never wanted, yet can’t ignore.

Sparks fly, as Ceithin and Aurelia fight fate and race against a clock neither knows is ticking.

Will he claim Aurelia before he loses her for good?

Warning: This book is sexy. Contains a drool-worthy Alpha male wearing Beta clothing. A sassy and sweet heroine with brains and brothers you’ll adore. A best friend every girl would love to hate. I mean have. And an impossible road no one will see coming.

I can’t wait to re-write Ceithin and Aura. I’m so happy to finally make this decision.

 

The newest chipmunk – Code Blue Episode 1

 

Good Morning,

I created my first podcast yesterday and uploaded the lovely piece. I listened to it and laughed my ass off. I’d never used Garage Band before on my Mac, so I didn’t realize there were different mic settings. The beginning of my podcast showcases me in all my high pitched, chipmonkey glory. I thought about re-doing it, but the recording was over thirteen minutes and I just didn’t want to do it again. Plus, it is rather funny.

“Because I love cupcakes!”  Makes me laugh hysterically every time I hear myself say it.

Without further ado, here, go take a listen and learn a little about me, and my stories.

Duality Excerpt: Copyright – Author ER Pierce 2012

His hands were tender as they removed my soaked clothes. I don’t particularly like my body, and I should have blanched at the notion of him seeing me nude, but for some reason I didn’t. Maybe I was just plain tired. However, I kept my eyes closed just in case he didn’t like what he saw.

“He had a driver. Dixon did. He saw me. Named Jackson.” I babbled.

Sol swore under his breath, and I think I heard him mutter, “Fuck, is there anything else I have to fix?”

“I’m sorry.”

He sighed. “Sleep now, baby, and don’t worry.” Sol said as he lowered me onto my wool mattress and covered me with layers of blankets. His soft lips lingered on my forehead, and his fingers brushed my wet locks away from my face. “I’ll be back soon, and we’ll figure out what to do.” His footsteps retreated. Then everything went dark and quiet…

 

Thanks for reading, and have a fabulous day!

You can buy Duality on Amazon, and Smashwords.

 

 

Duality by ER Pierce

 

Short description

Duality is a paranormal romance/urban fantasy hybrid featuring elemental empaths and a realistic world full of believable characters. Love, betrayal, honor, light and dark, good vs evil.

Extended description

Cordelia Kelly is running from her past and her destiny. She is a dual-natured empath – meaning she is receptive to the emotional aura, positive and negative, of those around her. Cordelia struggles to create harmony between the light and dark sides of her existence. She’s also an elemental, but her inherent powers are slowly manifesting with age and time. The scales of good versus evil are tilting in the wrong the direction.

Will she succumb or evolve to fulfill her destiny?

Sol Winterborn is not your typical hero, if anything he’s an anti-hero. Moral indecision riddle his path to redemption, but the undeniable truth he holds onto is his search for his lighthouse – his soul mate. When fate throws Cordelia in his path, he’s unprepared but can’t stay away. Her siren call sings a song he can’t ignore. He sees in her a kindred spirit, and possibly the one he’s searched long nights to find. Will Cordelia be the key to unlock his heart?

When his own dark past catches up with him, will he risk his life for love?

Got Waffles?

 

So, with the release of Duality today, I found myself up at 2:45a this morning, lightly dreaming about Waffles. I know, sounds silly right? There I was, in the cupcake wars kitchen (The show from TLC) Well, it was sort of like the cupcake wars kitchen. Anyway – I kept coming up with good waffle recipes. I decided to make Lavender and Chamomile infused waffles. Doesn’t that sound delicious?

661403My first batch, one of the judges, Candace – Choked, because they were so dry. Florian didn’t like the texture, and the celebrity judge just stared at them and shook his head.

The next batch I made, I used store bought whipped frosting to make them sweeter. (I know – that was a bad move) They hated them.

I made yet another batch – this time making a heated cinnamon butter to drizzle on the waffles, along with a honey sauce. They liked these but said the plate was too sweet.

I kept going. And going. And going. Just like the movie groundhog day. Over and over I made waffles. I kept going until the waffles were freaking perfect. Only they never were.

I made a homemade mint whipped cream. A fruit sauce, homemade maple syrup – I even dusted them with powdered sugar and dark chocolate shavings.

By the end I’d made so many waffles my hands hurt and the judges always found fault with something. Nothing was perfect. I wanted them to be, but I always failed.

Wow.

So, to analyze that dream – the answer seems pretty obvious to me – at least with where my head was at. Of course – now I want to try and make these waffles for real :P

 

Duality is on Amazon

Grrr. You know, you should never upload or publish when you’re exhausted. I put my author name wrong >.< I don’t use periods in my name. Although, I know I probably should :P I use ER Pierce instead of E.R. Pierce. Well, I put the periods in for Duality and now it won’t be right or like my others.

I know I can fix it after it’s uploaded, but then it will take a while because of how Amazon does things.

Sigh. Woe is me.

Still, if you’re interested in the story, check it out – Duality on Amazon

Duality (Final) Cover Reveal!

Good morning!

I trust you’re all having a lovely, fantastic day so far. With all the covers I’ve designed for Duality, something always felt off. I saw this image featuring the same model and new it was the one. The image captures most of the uniqueness about Cordelia Kelly and her story.

I hope you love Cordelia as much as me. Without further ado, here is the new cover.

Duality by ER Pierce

Blurb:

Cordelia Kelly is running from her tortured past. She’s run from her destiny all her life, and now she’s forced to stop running by events beyond her control. Cordelia is a dual-natured empath – meaning she is receptive to the emotional aura, positive and negative, of those around her. Dark and forbidden emotions call to Delia, the remorseless dark entity who shares her body. Cordelia struggles to create harmony between the light and dark sides of her existence. She’s also an elemental, but her inherent powers are slowly manifesting with age and time. Now the scales of good versus evil are tilting in the wrong the direction. Will she succumb or evolve to fulfill her destiny?

Sol Winterborn is not your typical hero, if anything he’s an anti-hero. Moral indecision riddle his path to redemption, but the undeniable truth he holds dear, is his search for his lighthouse – his soul mate. When fate throws Cordelia in his path, he’s unprepared but can’t stay away. Her siren call sings a song he can’t ignore. The internal battle she wages to blend her conflicting dual natures is reminiscent of his own struggles. He sees in her a kindred spirit, the one he’s searched long nights to find and she just might be the key to unlock his heart. When his own dark past catches up with him, will he risk his life for love?

“We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.” ~ Martin Buber

Breaking News – Duality by ER Pierce

 

Well, I did it. I just typed THE END to Duality (Cordelia Kelly #1). What started out as an interesting story I projected as a short novella around 15-20K, turned into a 40K badass story. I’m so excited. Obviously, I’m not near done, as the real editing work, transitions and gutting the story now begins, but the meat is cooked and I am so pleased with how the story turned out.

I’m going to send her off to my beta readers for feedback, then on to my editor for the first round. Phew. So much work left to do. I know I’m behind schedule, well – my own self imposed schedule, but the extra time I think will pay off for you.

I also decided on a new cover. Do you like it? I’ve been thinking about having Duality turned into a paperback. It’s long enough and I am going to do it. First I have to design the jacket. *sighs* Work is never done!
