Jade Alyse Writes

In Honor of Love, Read Two Chapters from When You Come to Me and Kiawah for Free :)

These two particular chapters are rather special to me, as they were literally written on location. No exaggeration.  In the chapter from When You Come to Me, it took place on a honeymoon in Nevis, and I was writing it, guess where I was...on the shore of Pinney's Beach, typing away. Although the chapter from Kiawah was not in Hawaii, guess where I typed it? Overlooking the beautiful cerulean Pacific Ocean on Maui.

Although it's not a necessity, writing whilst being a part of nature does add extra spice to the sensation inside of you as you write.  There's something about looking at palm trees swaying and the current rolling that sends a genuine thrill of inspiration soaring through you.

There's no greater feeling.

Without further adieu, check out the two chapters below and pictures from my excursions.

I hope you have an amazing Valentine's Day, guys :)

Read: Excerpt of "Kiawah"!

With the unexpected success of "Kiawah" on the iBookstore yesterday, what better time than to show a little bit of what it's all about. Throughout the novel, I combined a little bit of what I loved best in life: music, art and love.  Without these three things, I don't think life would be nearly as worth it.

In this excerpt I pulled inspiration from the classical Arabic tale: Layla and Majnun and listened to Nayanna Holley's On Love and Fear extensively.

The concept of star-crossed lovers driven to a semblance of madness by their feelings and the inevitably of their proximity to each other has always fascinated me.

Enjoy! :)
