So, yeah. It's been a while...

WOW!
I have not been on my author blog in a very long time! Geesh, I hadn't realized how long it's been. I'm sorry for the silence. I promise I didn't mean to forget about my blog...and if you haven't noticed, I did make some new changes! Change is good, right? I sometimes don't mind change, and I feel these new changes I'm making these days, are really good.
Okay, here's a little update on all that's "Brie Paisley".
First things first, I know a lot of you that follow my blog also follow on me on Facebook. If you do, then this won't be any new news to you. But, to you that's just now following me, Brie Paisley is my pen name. No, it's not my real name (ha), and I won't tell you my real name. Sorry, but I still like to have a bit of privacy still, but just know, I post way more honest things on my blog (which I will do better at) and my author profile. It's just... weird to post what I want on my regular page since I have my family and my husbands family on there. They all know I'm a Romance author, but it's one thing to know than to see it... I actually went LIVE on Facebook a few weeks ago...maybe not that long, but yes if you check out my profile, you will see ME...all weird and awkward-sih...
Second big news, I have a new book coming out in July! Yay! I've very excited about this one and it's not going to be like my other books. That means, Contemporary Romance lol. It's definitely not erotic, like at all, and it's got some very sweet and sappy parts. Which is great, I love Carter and Shelby. I loved writing about their strong bond and how after so much time apart...well you'll just have to read it! Ha!
Thirdly, I have updated my blog, so please feel free to look around. I've updated my books, the signed paperback tab, and pretty soon I'll be adding an excerpt of Carter under the upcoming books. So, please stick around and bear with me.
I'm also trying something different and new on my author page. Every Friday I will post "Brie's Word of Advice". It's basically me giving you advice on what to do and what not to do in the book world. I'm sure I'm going to piss some people off, but I've been thinking about this for a long time. I've been at this author gig for a year and a half now, and I've learned so much over this past year. Some good, and some not so good. Maybe this will help that new indie that just started their author page. And really, a part of me wanted to do this in hopes people wouldn't be so damn hateful over nothing. It may crash and burn, but what the hell right? You can check it out here if you're curious--https://www.facebook.com/authorbriepaisley

I might also do it on here as well just so people actually see it. Facebook is such a drama queen and likes to hide all the good people (ahaha)

Oh and I'm also going to my very first signing event in Indiana in 2017! Here's the Facebook page for it and please check out everything to see if you'd like to come too!

One more thing before I go. Soon I'm going to add one more tab to my blog page. It's going to be called Midnight Author's Cafe. What is this you ask? It's a group of lovely and talented authors and we've come together just to bring you our books. We just opened the group, so if you're interested in joining, please click the link and it'll take you straight to it. Once I get the new tab going for it, you'll be able to see exactly who's in the group (author wise) and their books. So far, I'm really enjoying this group, and I think it's a wonderful idea! Here's the link, and please consider joining!

Okay, I think I've covered all my news LOL! If I missed something, I'm sorry. And I'm going to try and make myself post every Friday from now on, so be ready! As always, thank you guys for your amazing support and hope you still stick around to see what's in store!
