Back to work!

So for those of you who've been so kind as to follow some of my writing exploration, I'd like to inform you that I am still very hard at work on my newest work. It's taking a lot longer to post up previews and sneak peeks because I feel I will changing things around eventually.

However I as a reader, hate being left hanging wondering what the next piece of work by a writer will be. Therefore, in an effort to calm some of those expectations and satisfy some curiosity, you can see the cover reveal for my work below.

Keep reading below for a brief but interesting excerpt.

Just then there was another flash in the sky, this time it was followed by rain. “You have got to be kidding me!” The roof ledge didn’t extend far out to provide coverage. It would be her luck, that the bags she carried would rip then, and drop everything onto the wet floor. “Ugh!” she yelled.

“Would you like some help?” a deep sultry voice asked behind her.

It had startled her so much, what with the possible stalker and the weather, that she yelled at the top of her lungs. “Ah!” Then dropped the rest of her things and her body descended to the floor. Only, she never hit bottom. Strong arms held her and pulled her back up.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you. My apologies. Are you OK?” the man said. He genuinely looked concerned. Lola finally looked up and found herself face to face with the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. He had dark black hair, that was held in a bun at the back. His skin from what she could tell was a little dark. And his eyes, good lord, his eyes, they were breathtaking. A deep cerulean. He had a strong cut jaw. He had a 5 o'clock shadow coming in and his lips were nice and full. She must have been staring for a long time because his eyes crinkled as a slow smile spread across his lips.

“Are you OK?” he asked again.

“Oh! Uh, yes. I, um, I’m sorry for screaming. You caught me off guard,” she was trying to remain calm but his male beauty was overwhelming. “Wait, who are you?” she asked.


I hope you enjoyed lovely people. Be sure to stay tuned and keep checking back here for more. I haven't posted any of this on Wattpad yet. As I said, I feel I will be changing things around a bit.

Growing

Hello my pretties!

Today's topic: Growing kids

I have a 5 year old baby girl. Today, was her first day of school. I've always known my sappy self would probably cry the day I had to drop her off. I'd like to say that I was at least able to contain my little episode until I got home. Her father and I took her and were very proud to see her off. Really, it was funny because I expected to see some hesitation or apprehension from her. Nope, non of that. She walked into class with her teacher, said hello, and marched her little but to the empty seat. Soon as she did all her little classmates got up and around her trying to meet and play. All the while I stood there listening to the teacher and hoping my baby would come back and hug me one last time.

No such luck. I am absolutely sad, yes, but, I'm even more proud of her for being such a trooper and diving right in. She'd been excited to know she was soon going to school so I should have known she'd do good. When we got home, my hubby and I kind of just sat there looking at the pictures we took of her before dropping her off and eventually we both had tears rolling down our faces. We had our moment but in the end, like I said, we are very proud.

So, there you have it for now. Do you have any kids? Little nieces, nephews, or siblings you've dropped off? If so, what was your reaction?

Ciao for now!

What gives!?

Ok, can someone please tell me, why? Why after the day the seasons changed, did mother nature suddenly decide to have hot flashes?!

Jesus, I thought I was gonna die of heat stroke. (No, not really. But still) I tried walking down the block to the store and halfway there I found my steps had moved from steady walking to excited speed walking trying to avoid the sun. I swear had it not been for this wonderful little invention man created called AIR CONDITIONER I might have some type of episode.

I locked up my place real good, shut all the blinds and windows and hid in my little cave of a room. But then! The freshness made me sleepy which is not conducive to creative writing. So here we are, days later, trying to get back into the flow of things.

Who else dealt with this damn heat wave? And how?

Official Hello!

Hello my precious!

I'd like to officially introduce myself and my blog to you. Name is Beth Serafina. (Yes it's an alias. No I won't give you my real name. I'd have to kill you.) Any way, I've always enjoyed reading and literature. Yes I am kind of a  nerd so what?! People still love my nerdy ways. I started really getting into the reading world a couple years ago. I've enjoyed it so much that, I like to talk about it. I've now even developed a need to start writing down all the stories I conjure up in my little head. It's actually fun to see what your mind can come up with. There are so many ways your mind can go. I've officially only posted one piece of writing on Wattpad. <- Click here to check it out.

That first piece is a romance. It wasn't even something I planned. I just started typing away on my phone one day. It still needs some cleaning up. I've updated a lot of it and currently am trying to catch up the chapters on the site. I've gone something new I'm working on now. It is romance again but with a paranormal twist to it. This time around I am taking the time to plan out and take notes. So I am definitely putting a lot of effort into it.

Moving on, because I can see this is starting to get long...

I am also a working mom and wife. I randomly post my thoughts sometimes and I genuinely enjoy peoples reactions to my posts. I will write about some of the most random things but I am a random type of girl with multiple interests. So there. Again welcome to my crazy little world.

Thanks for coming!

Morning Lazies

Ok, I know I’m not the only one who suffers from this disease.

I have been trying to convince my big butt to make it's way to the shower so I can start my day. Unfortunately, my bed? Yeah, it's got other ideas. It's been sweet talking to me for the past 30 minutes. It's making it really hard to adult right now.

I know I'm gonna be regreting those 30 minutes in a bit when I gotta rush it out of the house. Stop at Starbucks is going to be a must! I got some rest only because of all the drugs the Dr gave me for being sick. But, I didnt sleep until about midnight. 😩 But then I woke at 4:00 to wake the hubby so he could go to work. He says I didn't, but I did. I distinctly remember him mumble about the dead battery on his phone then rolled over back to sleep. I was still high so....yeah. It was 5:45 am when he woke again. He had a meeting at work at 6:00. Um...yeah you better believe he flew out the house.

I swear it was hilarious seeing my big husband running around the bedroom trying to put on multiple pieces of clothing at the same time.

Anyway for now this is the first post on my new blog. I took an old one I had down. Starting over and all that jazz.

So who is a morning person? If so, how do you make stuff happen so early?! 😪
