Hey guys, this is just a quick note to let you know that I have just finished reviewing the audio book for Clandestine!!
Thanks to my crazy life, it has taken long than expected, but it is done... done... DONE! I am very excited about it. I know you guys are going to love love love it.
Clandestine is narrated and produced by the lovely and talented Melissa Strom. She brings real life and demnsion and depth to the main character Emily Jameson as well as to the supporting cast of characters. The slayers are strong lively beings with amazing personalities and hillarious sarcastic charm.
By contrast, the vampires are creepy savage creatures that will leave your blood running cold. They give new meaning to the word... RUN!
Melissa Strom portrays and delivers a flwless performance in her rendition of this heart poundingly enthralling books. Between the story itself, and the way she captures it and makes it her own, you will be left begging to listen and read Divinity.
The next step in the production process is for Melissa to make a few minor changes. After that I will review those sections, pay her for her hard work and then... wait for it... wait for it... the book will be ready for your listening pleasure!!!!
Once on sale, Clandestine will be available for purchaase and download at Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.
I will let you know as things continue to progress. If you haven't done it yet, please sign up to be a follower of this site and also visit http://www.facebook.com/authornicolerae and press the like button.

Review of This Is Forty
I went with a friend to see the movie This Is Forty. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The film was a laugh riot from start to finish.
It goes along with the equally funny Knocked Up. That one was a tough act to follow. Nevertheless, the all-star cast pulled it off in spades.
Find a sitter for the kiddos, tuck them into bed and settle in for a night of good writing and hilarity. Although this one isn’t a wise choice for your children, it isn’t one you’ll one to miss.
I give this movie a definite five stars! I recommend it for the adult crowd and for anyone who loves a good belly laugh. Warning! The muscles in your abdomen may experience soreness after viewing this movie. Watch at your own risk.

Ratings are Rolling In
So I know it's a little corny, but I just don't care. I'm so excited! I'm starting to get ratings on Good Reads!!!
Clandestine has only been out for a few weeks and the ratings are already starting to roll in. I loged into Good Reads this evening and discovered that I had gotten a couple more FIVE STAR ratings from readers!
So far I haven't gotten anything lower than FIVE STARS! Granted I only have seven ratings total, but still. That's not the point.
The book is available on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble in paperback and in formats for your Kindle and Nook. The cover is amazing so a paperback is the best option for your viewing pleasure. You can get it at the online stores already mentioned, or also directly from my Create Space eStore by clicking HERE I would very much appreciate it if you all helped support my dream and pick up a copy today. It's a great book and if you love paranormal you will love this series.
The other request I have is simple. Will all of you please visit the book pages at Amazon, Barnes and Noble as well as Create Space and press the like button. It would really help me get the word out and I would be eternally grateful.

Hollow Land By Amanda Hocking
I recently read Hollow Land by Amanda Hocking Well, technically because of the whole blind thing I listened to it via download from Audible I think I would give this book 4 *’s. It’s a Young Adult read that even the grown ups will love.
I must admit that I don’t normally go for this type of book. I love paranormal and the supernatural but this book falls more under the Sci-Fi category. It’s a tale of the end of the world brought forth because of a virus outbreak plaguing the world and turning its citizens into zombies.
Before I get started talking about the book in more depth I have to warn that my spelling of some of the characters names might not be accurate. Thanks to having only read the audio version you are stuck with my interpretation of how their names are spelled.
The main character Remie King is a strong brave nineteen year old who is a survivor at her core. In some aspects of her life she is guarded and maybe even a little jaded but honestly who could blame her. She has spent the entire last year dodging and fighting zombies to protect herself and those she cares about.
The book starts out with her in a Government quarantine meant to be a safe haven for those citizens who have not yet been infected with the virus. When zombies overtake the high school that they call home Remy and a couple friends are forced to flee. Before she goes she discovers that the soldier who had been watching over her and her kid brother has been bitten. That means he is destined to become one of the monsters. He informs her that her brother had been the first evacuated from the quarantine when security was breeched. Max is only eight years old and the only blood family that Remie has left.
She sets off to find him. This means traveling across the country mostly on foot. The only trouble is zombies are everywhere and food and weaponry are scarce commodities.
For those reader seeking a little Romance this book has that too but in a subtle way. Remie meets a rock star named Lazlo. He clearly has a thing for her but at Remie doesn’t want anything to do with him. She things he’s an idiot who wouldn’t have made it as far as he had if it wasn’t for his companion Blue. Also, getting close would mean giving a part of herself that she has had closed off for a long time. Even when she starts to come to terms with her feelings for him she pushes them back and ignores them. No matter what she does Lazlo isn’t detoured though.
Remie refuses to give up on her quest for her brother even when the odds are stacked against her and the friends she meets along the way. It’s a race against time. The zombies want live food and Remie and her friends are the main course.
Hollow Land is the first book in The Hollows series by Hocking. It’s an action packed thrill ride that will leave you wanting more even if it’s not your typical genre choice. If you don’t mind a little gore and you love suspense this book is definitely right for you.
