Hope everyone has had a good day. Or at least an alright day. Today, I became 26 years old... Yeah. Been alright day too. I got woken up this morning, my niece decided to throw a ball around the living room and I ended up hit in the face. Mouth bled a little, but not for long. After that, spent all day listening to Linkin Park. Still am now. Tried spending time outside for fresh air and the wind has been strong all day, so I ended up with dirt and grass in my eyes. Tried catching a metal lid too that someone left on the coffee pot top, ended up hitting my hand on the corner of the counter. Spent time outside a moment ago to enjoy the night air and seen three shooting stars.
Other than that, it's been a good day. No more than usual and same amount of accident prone moments. Called my ex husband's grandma earlier to talk to my son, but he was still asleep.
Listening to Linkin Park's song Until It Breaks currently. Had a discussion earlier how it's hard finding someone with similar interests as yourself. My ex husband didn't like Linkin Park at all, hope to meet someone one day that enjoys their music too. Not many Linkin Park fans around here... Or in Oklahoma for that matter. Same with guys that want to date me. I get asked out a lot by guys from out of state, but they don't want a long distance relationship. Yet, no guys asking me out who live in Oklahoma. Irony or something. Other than that, pretty good day.
Back to writing tomorrow I guess.
Love

New News
Hello everyone, hope all is well. As you may know, I had created a Facebook page for When The Dead Came sometime ago. Then realized I probably should've done the logical thing and create a page for all my writings. Therefore, I finally did it. It's new and it'll be an alternative to my blog, since we all know how bad I am at updating.
On the new Facebook page, I will share free promotions, new books, news on my work, maybe in the future some contests of some kind or something. Movie scripts, poetry, my work in general. Maybe it'll turn out better than When The Dead Came page, that one didn't get as big.
So, please, feel free to check the page out (link below). It's a work in progress.
Love

Busy and Hot Today
Hello everyone, hope your weekend has been great, now it's Monday. It has been very hot and humid here, not sure about the rest of you out there. Have allergies again! I swear, when possible and I can get full custody of my son, would love to move out of Oklahoma. The weather fluctuates so much, hot and windy to cold and raining. Sometimes below freezing and then the next it's in the damn 80s or 90s, high pollen counts and dust. Miserable. But, been writing No One Else.
Now, this book won't be a horror, no gore or strong violence. It's a comedy/drama/romance. Well, maybe dark comedy. Apparently plenty of swearing, says the word fuck over 59 times so far, even more of others. Writing it where I channel in all emotions, including anger I bottle up... Which happens everyday here. Such as a moment ago.
No One Else also has a blend of realism. Some of the things in the book are based on what's happened in my life: Divorce, custody and how that makes the character dealing with it feel, pregnancies (only had one pregnancy in my life, so I channeled that in), struggles, inner feelings of anger, sadness, hate, regrets, happiness, and loneliness. The humor I try to use to feel better, struggles of finding a job here, and how it feels when you have been cheated on, lied to about love, broken trust, and bottling it all up until that breaks free.
Should be interesting. It takes place in Los Angeles (instead of Oklahoma), and focuses on six different people in that city. Should be ready soon. I gotta think up a cover for it. That seems to be the difficult part. Some days I don't feel like drawing.
Hope you all have a great day and as usual, feel free to contact me or hell, even follow on my social media accounts. You know the drill:

Free Promotion
I do a horrible job at updating my blogs regularly. Anyways, hope everyone has been well. Like the headline reads, Free Promotion! Beginning tomorrow and until March 13th, on Amazon, When It Ends/Aftermath will be free. Like I said on my whenthedeadcame blog, if you have Kindle and haven't read the last book, check it out. You get to find out what happened with Avery, Alex and the others, new enemies, more deaths/losses (most regrettable death of a character I wish I hadn't killed off being Justin, Alex's brother), plenty of action, violence, swearing, and the introduction of the SGC finally.
As well as a character that has not been properly introduced in this series, he is from another book I wrote years ago which I will publish soon. He has a story on previous outbreaks.
Meanwhile, I have also been working on a romantic comedy drama that will be available soon. Since my birthday is coming up on March 23rd, I'll be doing another free promotion.
Remember, from tomorrow and until the 13th, When It Ends/Aftermath is free on Amazon Kindle. Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@Ariana_Torralba), Instagram (@Ariana_Torralba91), and When The Dead Came page on Facebook.
