Nature’s Destiny Is FREE!!

Nature's Destiny

 

With  the  countdown  to  Christmas  just  days  away,  I  wanted  to  share  a  gift  with  you  all.  Nature’s  Destiny  is  FREE  on  all  eBook  platforms  for  a  short  time  over  the  festive  period,  so  grab  it  while  you  can!
Happy  Holidays,  Everybody!

Amazon  US.  Amazon  UK.  Smashwords.  Kobo.  iBooks.  B&N.

My  life  was  changing,  morphing  into  something  greater  than  I  could  have  anticipated.  I  was becoming  something  I  didn’t  recognise  as  myself  anymore.  A  Werewolf.

I  was  different.
Bitten.

‘Hybrid’  was  what  they  called  me,  and  the  weight  that  rested  against  that  one  word  was crippling.  They  depended  on  me  to  bring  them  safety.  What  made  me  so  special?

Oh,  that’s  right.  My  destiny.

I  was  sucked  into  a  world  I’d  had  no  idea  existed.  Twenty-one  years  as  a  human,  and  this was  what  I  found  out.

My  travelling  plans,  my  writing  degree,  all  of  it  was  gone  within  one  night.  One  evil  night that  robbed  my  humanity.

I  wasn’t  completely  sour.  Life  had  been  unfair  a  while  ago,  only  now  I’d  had  something worth  fighting  for  besides  myself.  Something  to  live  for.

I  was  afraid  for  the  others.  I  couldn’t  let  them  down.  I  wouldn’t  let  them  down.

I’d  gone  to  bed  a  human  and  woken  up  a  Werewolf.

A  special  Werewolf.
A  Hybrid.

Blogging Vs Vlogging

Posted in Writing by

Happy  Sunday,  Everybody!

Today,  I  have  an  exciting  proposal  to  make  that  I  hope  sounds  just  as  fun  for  you  as  it  is  for  me.  I’ve  been  wanting  to  try  something  different  other  than  blogging  for  a  while  now,  and  I  think  I’ve  decided  on  an  idea.  I  absolutely  love  blogging  and  there’s no  way  I’ll  be  stopping  anytime  soon.  But  wouldn’t  it  be  cool  if  I  came  to  you  on  another  awesome  platform,  too?

What  is  this  awesome  idea  I  have  rattling  around  my  mind?  Well,  I’ll  tell  you . . .

YouTube  Videos,  otherwise  known  as  Vlogging.

And  because  you  guys  are  the  whole  reason  I’m  doing  this,  the  first  video  is  basically  a  Q&A  with  me.  You  can  ask  me  anything  about  the  books  or  even  what’s  to  come  in  the  series/new  ideas,  my  writing,  me.  ANYTHING.  All  you  have  to  do  is  e-mail (justinewinter@hotmail.co.uk)  your  question,   leave  a  comment  on  this  post  or  ask  me  on  twitter/facebook,  and  I’ll  make  sure  to  include  it  in  the  video.

I’m  so  excited  about  this  new  venture  that  I’m  offering  up  a  giveaway,  too.  Everyone  that  asks  a  question  will  have  their  name  entered  to  win  an  eBook  copy  of  Nature’s  Destiny  and  Sapphire’s Divinity  through  Smashwords (you can choose which format you prefer then).  Phew!  I’ll  announce  the  winner  on  the  vlog.

The  video  will  be  posted  in  the  next  couple  of  weeks,  so  until  then  I  hope  you  have  a  great  week!

Formatting for Fools

Posted in Writing by

I  slammed  my  fists  down  on  the  bed  and  shoved  the  laptop  aside.  I’d  had  enough.  One  problem  fixed,  another  showed  up.  I  couldn’t  win,  and  I  had  no  idea  what  it  was  I  was  doing,  or  how  to  rectify  a  problem  without  causing  another.  Again.

I  wasn’t  a  technology  genius.  I  got  by  with  the  limited  information  I  had,  and  that  was  usually  enough.

Not  today,  not  yesterday.

Yet,  in  my  frustration  at  my  laughable  attempts  at  formatting,  I  couldn’t  help  but  think  of  the  many  that  had  already  gone  through  the  same  issues  as  me  but  had  still  managed  to  upload  and  convert  a  decent  document.

What  was  wrong  with  me?

I  researched,  watched  videos,  read  guides,  and  even  that  wasn’t  enough.  I  still  had  issues.

I  wasn’t  the  type  to  be  beat,  and  often  in  my  stubborn,  control-freak  ways   I  always  came  out  on  top.  I  always  found  a  way,  the  whole  ‘if  you  don’t  succeed  try  again’  mantra  would  always  play  in  my  mind.

I  always  craved  for  knowledge,  to  be  better  at  something  new.  I  wished  I  understood  the  technical  jargon,  and  the  ninja  skills  required  to  handle  a  ‘simple’  ebook  conversion.

My  flicker  of  hope  dwindled.

I  was  desperate.

What  was  I  supposed  to  do  now?
