<b>Lexie Wilder is no stranger to tragedy. She struggles every second of every day to overcome the loss of her boyfriend…</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Determined to get her life back on track, Lexie retraces a road trip she went on with Alex before he died. The trip was meant to be a harmless adventure to revisit old memories and track down an elusive color of nail polish. Instead, Lexie <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">uncovers a truth in Sugar Hill that her mother wanted to keep hidden.<br />When strange men follow Lexie home, her mother demands she run, sending her further away from the answers she seeks. But Lexie finds a clue in an old diary. Her mother wrote about a dark man with a dangerous past.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">

<b>Jackson is a distraction Lexie isn’t prepared to face…</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Alone in an unfamiliar town, Lexie has nothing but her haunted thoughts to keep her company and is terrified this man from her mother’s past has come back to finish what he started. She doesn’t know who to trust, especially when she realizes her neighbor, Jackson, is as intimidating as he is beautiful. She tries to keep her mysterious neighbor at a safe distance, but after he fights off an armed attacker, Lexie finds herself turning to him for comfort.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>Her new protector can’t stop the evil forces already in play…</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There is only one person who can answer for the chaos that has taken over Lexie’s life…her mother. The man responsible for the torment detailed in the pages of the diary is real, and now his sights are set on Lexie. His henchmen might have failed, but he won’t.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Lexie must figure out exactly how much she trusts Jackson and his good intentions if she ever wants a chance to finally piece her life back together. But first she has to survive…</div>

I am just getting it ready for submission now and then I will dive into book #3. I have been focusing my time on writing because my goal is to complete the trilogy before the release of the first book on July 26th.<br />
<br />
I will also hopefully be launching a new website soon! As soon as I get it all up and running I will let you know!<br />

It is just that every time I go on the page for Catching Fox the top two reviews are from haters that of course got the most likes so they stay at the top taunting me. It is a bit of a kick-in-the-guts every time I go on that page to check on things. I wish I could comment and clarify some important elements of the story they seemed to have missed. I know not everyone is going to like it but still some reviews are a little harsh.<br />
I am working on my romantic suspense series now. My plan is to publish this and see if I can tip the scales and perhaps find more people that enjoy my writing than those who like to pick it apart. It will be a test to see if this is really what I should be investing all my time into. It's not that I would give up my love of writing but I may decide to go back to writing for myself. I just really need a few more people in my corner so I know who I am fighting for. Otherwise I am just left doubting myself and wondering why I am putting myself through this.<br />
<br />
Here is my review I recently left on Goodreads.com for my most recent release...<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27274727-catching-fox" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px;"><img alt="Catching Fox" border="0" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1447730631m/27274727.jpg" /></a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27274727-catching-fox">Catching Fox</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/13919881.Aimee_McNeil">Aimee McNeil</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1586761443">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
I don't normally leave reviews for my own books because I feel weird rating my own work. Obviously it is close to my heart if I invested all the time and energy it took to create this story but every time I visit this page it makes me sad to see that the top reviews are so negative. I could be wrong but the reviewers seem to have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. I wish I could please everyone but I have found this to be impossible. I just don't want some readers who could love this story as much as I do turned away because of these reviews that are the first thing they see.<br />
This was posted recently by a reader who grasped perfectly what this story was meant to be...<br />
"I love this story! It is the kind of love that all of us romantics dream about, love at first glance when we are 6 yrs old. The kind of love that fits like a glove and is as warm and comfortable as an old flannel shirt, but turns hot as hell with one longing look! Yeah ..... don't we all wish for that kind of love? You have got to read this book! By Amazon Reviewer<br />
I hope you decide to give it a chance and it finds a special place in your heart. Thank you so much!

I have been finding it hard to get much done lately. My son's have been off for March break. They have two weeks off for their school so my days have been busy. I tried to put a do not disturb sign on my computer to get some work done but my family just thinks its funny and continues to ask me to do things. No free time for me.<br />
My goal was to have book #2 of my Distortion series done by the middle of April so I have to start picking up the pace for it to happen. I will hopefully have something exciting to share with you soon...Aimee McNeilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15430365055963597440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170941340918537827.post-7777452358535468572016-03-04T09:00:00.000-04:002016-03-04T09:00:24.762-04:00A Sneak Peak At My First NewsletterI know you are all dying to know what my newsletter is all about. haha<br />
BUT for those of you who are not sure...I thought I'd share the first edition with you so you can see if it is something you'd like to sign up for. My first newsletter was an introduction to myself for those who do not know me. My plan is to let subscribers be the first to know about what's in the works, giveaways, and have access to special bonus material when the time comes! Also I plan to be sharing and discussing fun topics. My goal is to impress you ;)<br />
Take a look at my first newsletter if you are curious...<a href="http://eepurl.com/bR-6Jf" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: solid; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c9ab7; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">http://eepurl.com/bR-6Jf</a><br />

I feel like I'm stuck and no one even knows I'm here. This is a bad position to be in for a writer. I feel like I've been going in the wrong direction.<br />
I am thinking about taking a new approach to how I reach out to readers because right now I am getting nowhere with my sad little blog entries. I want to be able to be more interactive with people and get feedback for my writing. I want to know that my audience actually cares about what I am rambling about!<br />
<br />
I was thinking of creating a monthly newsletter where I can be more candid, offer "bonus content", giveaways, give the inside scoop, and of course tell my secrets too!<br />
You will have the opportunity to give feedback and ask questions. I would love your input! If you have read any of my books I would love the chance to know what you think. I am used to the good and bad. I'm not scared!<br />
Maybe a few off topic ideas...like posting favorite recipes :)<br />
I'm still currently brainstorming ideas but at least this will seem more personal than posting on my blog because I will know that someone is listening.<br />
<br />
Would you be willing to sign up via email and join me for this little endeavor? I would love to know what you think?<br />

If you want to know how my writing is coming along I update my progress regularly. You just need to click on the <b>Work-In-Progress (Distortion Series Book #2)</b> Picture on the right side bar to see how things are coming along.<br />
When I write I put a lot of thought and consideration into my first draft so when I'm done it only needs a quick read-through before I send it off. So it may seem that progress is slow at times but not to worry I'm very excited about how it is developing!Aimee McNeilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15430365055963597440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170941340918537827.post-18736189635062365032016-02-14T14:36:00.000-04:002016-02-14T14:36:29.392-04:00CATCHING FOX is only 99 cents for Valentine's Day!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
I responded by asking him what he liked to do that gave him a wonderful sense of happiness.</div>
<div>
He said "Watching Pokemon." </div>
<div>
I told him writing was my "Pokemon"<br />
He gave me a big smile and said "Oh wow."</div>

"Lexie stepped down the front steps that groaned loudly in protest, alerting the owner of the sleek black sports car next door. His attention drew to her as he swung a black duffle bag over his shoulder. She froze like a deer in the headlights. He was tall and shaped like a man that did nothing but physical activity. His intense eyes were staring back at her and her heart throbbed so loudly she could feel it in her fingertips.</div>

She could feel the heat of his eyes on her back and she forced herself not to look back no matter how much she wanted to."</span></div>

Have you been wondering what I'm up to?<br />
I've been hanging out with one of my best friends ;)<br />
...always there for me no matter what time of day. We have a great relationship! haha (One of my very favorite inventions!)<br />
<br />
I'm writing whenever I can find the time. I need to keep up with the story formulating in my head. I've been avoiding distractions...I used to start my day checking my social media. I would find that hours pass and I haven't accomplished any writing because I get sucked into marketing attempts. A necessary evil BUT my main priority is writing my new series.<br />
<br />
I think its the best plan in the long run.I still need to work on my wow factor to win over readers. My "Distortion Series" is me putting my best foot forward. Hopefully my determination is leading me down the right path.<br />

I really feel like this is my best work and I cannot wait to see what is in store for it...Only time will tell :)<br />
<div>
But for now...write, write, write. I have lots of work to do!</div>

<i>Degrees Of Distortion</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I love this story and can't wait to share it!<br />
<br />
This is not the official book blurb but just a brief description <br />
so you have an idea about what the book is about...<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lexie is no stranger to tragedy. While struggling to
overcome a loss so deep it tore her heart and left it bloodied, her life begins
to collapse around her. On a road trip with her dearest friend, Stephanie, she
stumbles upon her mother’s hidden past. Unknowingly leading these ghosts back
to their small town of Freyview and to her mother’s doorstep. Lexie discovers
her mother is full of dark secrets and the best kept truth of all is Lexie
herself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When dangers separate Lexie from her mother, Lexie is left
unprepared for who was hunting her as she finds herself in the company of a man
that both terrifies and excites her. Her broken heart begins to stir with the
strange feelings while fighting with the guilt of her past. She questions
whether she can trust Jackson or if he has his own agenda.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just when the pieces are coming together the dark man from
the pages of her mother’s diary makes his move. He is every bit of the evil as
her mother described. Lexie must face him and survive the perils that seek her
or she will fall victim to the same fate that nearly destroyed her mother.<o:p></o:p></div>

My little writing break is officially over. I have broken ground on book #2 and I am sooo close to finalizing the name of the series.<br />
<br />
I used up my blank canvases but my plan is to pick up more so that I can sneak in some more painting time among the madness of formulating my story.<br />
<br />
Back to work I go!<br />

up through a veil of perfect blonde curls. A boy close to her age was standing
in the line of trees backing onto her property. His voice was so quiet that she
thought at first it might have been the breeze. His unkempt dark hair fell over
his eyes in dark waves. His knees were visible through his ripped pants and his
shirt was adorned with a monster truck with its tongue hanging out. It was a sight
that brought a smile to her lips despite her tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

her face with the back on her hand and studied the boy. “Where did you come
from?” she asked, looking around to see if anyone else was in his company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I live through
that way.” He pointed into the dense trees behind them. “I heard you crying
while I was playing in the woods,” the boy explained, looking nervous. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“It’s my
birthday today and I wanted to wear my favorite dress with pink and blue
stripes but my mom made me wear this yellow dress and it scratches my skin,”
she confessed sadly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adalynne slipped
off the swing and closed the distance between them. The boy took a hesitant
step back with her approach. “What’s your name?” she asked curiously. He didn’t
answer her question but instead looked behind him, anxious and ready to flee.
“Don’t go,” she pleaded. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">

frozen, watching her intently. Adalynne moved slowly out of fear she would scare
him away. She had never seen eyes like his. The color green they exhibited was
vibrant and breathtaking, putting the foliage around them to shame. It made her
think of her bright green crayon that she had used earlier to color the leaves
of her trees. He was so beautiful and quiet she thought he might be her
imagination. She smiled big and bright, letting him know she wanted to be his
friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When she was
close enough she reached out and took his hand to confirm he was real. His hand
trembled beneath her fingers as she held it gently. “My name is Adalynne,” she said
softly. He looked back at her with wide eyes. Not even a hint of a smile on his
lips. “It’s my mother’s name too.” She found herself talking out of fear he
would leave if she didn’t keep his interest. “It’s probably why she wants me to
be just like her.” Though he remained quiet he seemed to be interested in her
words. “Sometimes I wonder if I had another name it would be different and I
wouldn’t have to wear uncomfortable clothes, and she would just let me be me
and have fun.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You want a
different name?” he whispered. He seemed puzzled by her, as if she were a
strange creature that mysteriously washed up on shore, his curiosity keeping
him captivated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Yes! I would
love another name.” Adalynne reached out and took his other hand in hers as
well. He looked down at his hands tightly clasped in hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What would you
want your name to be?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adalynne
giggled. “Hmmm…” She pondered the thought. The idea of picking her own name
excited her. She watched a bee hover over some nearby flowers and her smile
deepened. “Bee,” she responded happily. “Because then I could wear stripes all
the time and play in the flowers whenever I wanted.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He smiled back
at her then. It was simply beautiful. “What would you choose?” she asked
happily, her tears forgotten now. He shrugged his shoulders and slowly tried to
pull his hand from hers but Adalynne was scared to let him go. There was
something different about this boy that drew her to him. “How about…” Adalynne
thought about what was befitting of the boy in front of her. She remembered
when she was playing in her backyard and saw a fox peeking through the trees.
It left as quickly as it came without a sound. She never told her mother for
fear she wouldn’t let her play outside anymore. “Fox?” He could be her secret
fox. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adalynne grew
excited with her suggestion. “You remind me of a fox because you are quick,
quiet and…beautiful.” The smile fell from her lips. “You don’t like it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“No…I do…I like
it,” he responded with a small smile, bringing her own back to life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I like you,”
she confessed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Adalynne!”<i> </i>She turned back toward her house when
she heard her mother call her name. The boy pulled his hands from hers and
retreated back into the woods as quiet as he came. It felt like he took a piece
of her with him when he left. Her sadness returned as she walked toward her mother’s
call. <sub><o:p></o:p></sub></span><br />

I have one more blank canvas before I have to go to the store and that is a dangerous thing for me...Michael's Craft store. Love that place! If I go in there and see all the paint brushes (which I desperately need new ones), tubes of paint, and wall of blank canvases. Then I might really keep painting all the animals that I can think of. haha. </span></span></span><br />

For those of you who don't know what a beta reader is, it is someone who reads a story strictly for content. They make sure their are no holes in the plot. It's not the same as editing. Editing comes later after I know that the story is solid and ready to be polished. I am looking forward to feedback from fresh eyes.<br />
This is the start of a series for me so I need to start if off right. I'm excited to spend more time with these characters when I dive into writing the next book! I'll leave you with a teaser of what's to come. I haven't officially finalized the title but I have narrowed it down to a few good options :)Aimee McNeilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15430365055963597440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170941340918537827.post-79517964379676541362016-01-06T20:29:00.002-04:002016-01-06T20:29:28.716-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
