Jade Alyse Writes

"Skin Like Dawn" is ONE MONTH away! Catch up on the series now!

I'll be the first to admit that when I released my first book When You Come to Me a couple of years ago, I had no idea that I would be receiving emails from people, wanting to know more about Brandon and Natalie, angry that I hadn't released the sequel yet, leaving them hanging.  I've glossed over reviews online - some, obviously, were better than others.  But one thing holds true: people are reading.  And that's all I really wanted.  The great thing about it is people are reviewing, whether good or bad, meaning that some sort of emotion was evoked.  That's what a writer constantly seeks out of their readers. Without rambling too much, I say with unbridled exuberance that Skin Like Dawn is just one month away.  The sleepless nights, the editing, the formatting and the nerves have all begun.  This is my first completed novel in years.  That means that this is my first novel that I haven't pulled from my archives, dusted off and refreshed.  This is all new material. My friends and my family and my life in general have inspired me, and as a result, my hands are aching because I've been typing so much!

If you haven't yet read When You Come to Me, please do.  And take something from it.  And share it with your friends.  And your friends' friends.  It's free right now.  That's how much I want everyone to read it!

Besides, it's the predecessor to Skin Like Dawn.  You have to read it.

As always, thank you so much for joining me on this journey.  August 15th can't get here fast enough.

Can't Believe It's Been ONE YEAR Since Kiawah Was Released! Have You Read It Yet?

Can't Believe It's Been ONE YEAR Since Kiawah Was Released! Have You Read It Yet? 403232_10100451705201069_1543196717_n67928c284de911e1a87612313804ec91_72a0f51cc369411e19e4a12313813ffc0_7944f7214152a11e1a87612313804ec91_7

Simply put, I love this story. I started it not too long after I graduated from college in 2008. I was lost, I was in love, and I was fighting for independence. So, marks Loren Soto's origins. At face value, she's a scorned bitch who's having difficulty getting over the fact that her first love is in love with her childhood friend. Hell, at the very beginning of the novel she's watching them get married. Yes, it's a love story: but it's one with some bite to it. While Loren and Nicholas' decade-long love affair comes to an end, she must decide if she can start anew with a fresh-face musician who's just returned to town from an inexplicable hiatus.

Without say too much, I encourage you all to read it at your leisure and absorb it.

Loren is a smart, witty girl and gravely misunderstood. Her sexuality, her cursing and her drinking make for an interesting heroine.
