Hello fans. As you have probably noticed, the books have been unpublished. You probably noticed before that, the final book hadn't been touched in quite some time. I shall explain.
Last year, from January 2024 up until now, I have suffered a lot of loss in my life, the biggest being the loss of my 7 month old granddaughter. This has caused a lot of mental anguish for me. I've been medicated, faced related health issues, had multiple tests to rule out other possible issues and am still not ok. However, the books ARE getting a rewrite, I just can't put a time frame on things.
You're probably wondering why this required pulling them from being published. Well, in my bio it clearly states NOT to contact me for publishing. I have been asked TWICE for this very thing but said "publishers" wanted only one book and one in the middle. You can't tell this story with only one of these books and since they were NEVER meant for ANYONE but the characters in the books, who are REAL people I KNOW, that's never happening. Next, I was asked about joining in on a book club discussion on Continued Chaos. Again, can't have one book without all 5 and they're not up for discussion. Read directions, people!
We'll be back!

Hello everyone!
I know it's been a minute since I've posted anything. A lot has happened in my life that's set me back.
As you know, the main characters in the book are based off of people I speak to on a daily basis. One of them left for awhile leaving me with a blank as to what to donas far as the character in the book. My husband was injured at work and is off indefinitely pending surgery and a Workman's Comp claim, which takes away my quiet time to write. It's also led to extreme financial issues and thus lots of stress. I watch my grandchildren frequently and, last but not least, my father-in-law who beat pancreatic cancer, just learned it has come back and spread to his liver.
Never fear, I have big ideas and will be moving forward, putting thumbs to keyboard.
Stay tuned!

Hello followers/readers!
I just wanted to take a minute out of my writing to make a little PSA in regard to a review I received over the weekend.
First, I'll say I don't mind reviews, even if they're negative. However, I do take issue when someone tries to tell me HOW a zombie style book SHOULD be written and what I should and should not be putting in the stories.
There are NO RULES on how ANY story should be written. There are NO guidelines. Just because EVERY movie and TV show ever sticks by the same basic storyline of how things would be doesn't mean it how the next author should write their storyline.
On a side note, when a certain very well-known zombie TV show came out years ago, it got my attention, and I started watching it. I also quit watching it 3 episodes in because it was IDENTICAL to every other movie I'd ever seen.
So WHY would I want to follow in the footsteps of every other book, show, and movie and do the same old snoozer of a storyline? We've ALL read it and watched it before.
Apparently, my reviewer missed the part where I CLEARLY wrote in the story something to the effect of "contrary to popular belief, everything doesn't shut down when such an event happens." He complained about radio transmissions still happening (I clearly remember this from MANY zombie movies and shows), electricity and even frozen meat years later (a quick search tells you beef can be kept indefinitely at below 0 or below, still be safe but may not taste great).
The reviewer complained that my book wasn't fantasy with zombies added...Isn't it? Isn't every book of fiction fantasy? As the author, I'm pretty sure I can write whatever I want, the way I want.
Lastly, because he didn't understand, he gave one star to everything, including the grammar, punctuation, etc. The books are written outside of the app and transferred over. The app I use to write corrects grammar and punctuation. The ONLY time I don't allow grammar to be corrected is when the person speaking talks a certain way. After all, the characters are based on REAL people I talk with on a daily basis.
I am not bothered by his review. I have enough positive reviews, likes, and followers that it doesn't even matter. But I will NOT tolerate someone telling me HOW I should write something when there are no set rules in place for ANY type of story. Period.
You all have a great day. To the jack@$$ who tried to tell me how to write - have the day you deserve.

Hello readers,
It's been a minute. My life has changed in a crazy (and not good) way, and I am way behind on writing, as I'm sure you've seen. I have ZERO alone and quiet me time and therefore no time to write.
If you're on book 4, I'm sure you've read the chaotic lifestyle of the character Kai. This is based on a real story, and though changed to fit the storyline, it's a part of my life. Sometimes writing is the ONLY outlet for me, and now even that is gone. At least for now.
I intended to write a chapter today but had an extremely rough night, so it's not happening. I'm barely awake. I promise, though, that something will be released this week. Please bear with me as these transitions in my life take place.
Thanks for your continued support.❤️

Hello readers! Yesterday, I planned on having a 2nd chapter out. I generally know what's coming in the book days before I write it. But as you see from today's pic, that put me behind. Imagine it getting dark suddenly during the day, stepping outside to see what the sky looks like, and out your front door is THAT. I watched it form and reshape into what seemed to what seemed to be a funnel cloud until it thundered and the trees doubled over. I was done. I looked out just a couple minutes later, and the cloud had gone back up into the sky. Needless to say, it was a terrifying few minutes.
The drama continues in GO:ER. Besides the influx of non-zoms, the unknowns of the caged ones in the cemetery, a mysterious plague priest, Dan's new city, and now 2 new groups of people in town, what is going on? Are these thing all related, or are Mari and MiMi correct?
Big things are coming! Stay tuned!

Hello readers (and creepers)!
I want to address something non-book related before I go further (this is where the creeper part from above comes in).
First, let me start by saying I don't HAVE to explain myself or justify things to ANYONE, ever. The fact that I am shows my frustration.
That said, I am in no way a professional by any means. Even using an outside app to write that spell checks and checks grammar and punctuation, mistakes are still made. I've been a writer for as long as I can remember. The first novel I ever completed was when I was a freshman in high school, written in one of those little diaries with the lock and key. That little diary was passed around the cafeteria where we had study hall every day I had added new chapters. Years later, a rather famous TV show came out that shared much of my storyline, though I won't mention the show.
I saw back then that I was bringing joy into people's lives with my writing. Through the years, I've started many books, none of which I've finished.
If you don't know the back story to the Game Over series, the entire first chapter in book one is 95% TRUE. The main characters in the books are REAL people who have given permission to have their usernames, and in some cases, special permission has been given to do certain relationships/scenes. These books were meant ONLY for our group. But again, when they were first released (before an outside app doing spelling and grammar checks) as Real Life Fight, I saw again the impact they had on the readers outside of our group. NEVER did I think anyone else would like them because of all of the inside jokes, how we REALLY talk, talk to one another IRL, or how I've implemented our real conversations, etc, into the books. I kept them going because of it. What was supposed to be just one book, then just two, then just three, has led to a series of five.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL WHO HAS THEIR WORK PUBLISHED WORLLDWIDE FOR MONEY. PERIOD, POINTBLANK.
I am a wife, mom, and mimi (grandmother). I'm up at 4 am every day and in bed by 9 pm. I have 8 hours a day while my husband is at work to write IF I have nothing else to do. Once he's home, it's our time. Once he goes to bed, it's me and the family from these books time. I don't have the time or patience to worry about contracts, deadlines, sales, editors, etc. F**k all of that. Even if I did, I still wouldn't want that.
In the past day or so, I've had someone come at me RELENTLESSLY with this very thing. You'd think my kindly saying no thank you once would have been enough, but no. Then you'd think my explanation would be enough, but no. Today, I had to be rude and make a threat. Enough is enough.
So PLEASE. If you're new here and someone with the "do you want to talk about publishing on the sales market" people, as MiMi would say, "f**k off." The answer will always be NO.
Another thing, I'm not stupid. I know publishers go through your work and the editor will try and change what you've written to "improve" it. My work is what it is. It's how I want it. It captures my spirit and the spirit of my friends and family. So again, a little louder for those in the back, I AM NOT INTERESTED. GO AWAY.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
For my readers, big things are coming! I'm off for the weekend. I hope yours is a good one. If you're affected by this ridiculous heatwave as I am, stay cool, stay hydrated, stay healthy and safe!

Hello readers!
Just a heads up! I'm seeing a lot of folks adding book 4 - Mutations to their reading lists but they have never added the 1-3 books.
If you're reading Mutations but haven't read the first 3 Game Over, Enter Reality books, absolutely nothing your read will make sense. You will have no idea who the characters are, living, dead or mentioned. You will have no idea how we got where we are, why or even the basis of the storyline. NOTHING will make any sense to you at all. If this is the case, stop what you're reading, go back to book 1 and start at the beginning.
If you've already read everything else, you can disregard this notice. I just want to be sure everyone is up to speed in the storyline and isn't scratching their heads trying to figure everything out!

Hello readers! Update time!
First, my apologies for an entire week with no chapters released. Tje husband was off work with an injury and as you know, he likes to talk. A lot. With no silence or alone time comes no new chapters. However, I'm back and here we are!
More secrets are being revealed. Those things that have been making you scratch your head since Game Over, Enter Reality was first released as Real Life Fight are finally coming to light. Yes, you're getting answers but do they make sense yet? Have you figured everything out? Do you have any theories? I'd love to hear them! Who knows, your thoughts might get some face time and you could get a nod! And yes, I already have the answers, but YOUR ideas could always add a cool twist. YOU could even make an appearance in the book! Submit your thoughts privately by hitting the email or FB link. Email is quicker as FB messages go into a request folder I may not see right away.
To be added to the book, you must submit an idea and grant permission to add you in PRIVATE. Wall submissions will NOT be considered.
With that, today is a busy day so I'm not sure a new chapter will be completed. We shall see.
Have a great day!

Hello readers! I hope you're enjoying Book 4. It's been a roller coaster ride and will continue to be. There are so many ups and downs, right?
As usual, if you find mistakes, please let me know. I tend to write early in the morning and re-read it the next day. One chapter takes me 2 days, so I'm always adding to and correcting things. I do make mistakes that fly under the radar, so to speak. I'm also always looking back in the other books if I need to answer my own questions! Remember, these books originally came out 2 years ago and where I re-wrote them beginning last year, with all I've written since, I tens to forget things.
That's the beauty of being an author. You can easily add things to suit the storyline at any time and make it make sense.
Have yourselves a wonderful day!
