The House of Murder

 Hello everyone, I hope you had a happy Easter, I wanted to let everyone know that my second ebook is out right now to purchase, here is the book cover and here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/House-Murder-Hope-Hopkins-ebook/dp/B00VOC09P4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428300160&sr=8-1&keywords=the+house+of+murder+hope+hopkins
and here is what it is about: On the streets of St. Louis, a murderer is running loose, murdering women everywhere he goes. He is ruthless when he kills his victims, for years the police have not been able to catch him, he was notorious for his kills because the women he murdered were brunettes and he cut them a certain way. The murderer known as the Midnight Striker has been killing for decades, he was like the modern day Jack the Ripper, no one could catch the Midnight Striker, he was good. He was like a shadow in the night, always hiding and covering up his tracks, leaving no traces of himself anywhere. None of the Midnight Striker’s victims made it out alive, but one woman defied the odds, one woman survived. The woman’s name was Mary Louise, she was a rookie cop who fought the Midnight Striker and somehow survived. Mary thought she killed the Midnight Striker, but somehow he too survived. Now after many years passed, women were coming up missing and murdered again, everyone believed it was the Midnight Striker. Mary is a detective now and she has been called back to St. Louis P.D. to help solve the case, and Mary has to work with an unbearable partner named Norman Hanes who is a male chauvinist moody man that is hard to work with. So far he has been through seven partners, no one can handle Norman, but Mary can, she was sassy and just as bullheaded as Norman, Mary is quick on her feet and tells Norman off almost every time he has something sarcastic to say. Both Mary and Norman do not get along, they argue all the time and Norman can’t stand having a female partner. In the mist of their arguments and conflicts, the Midnight Striker is still killing innocent women, will Mary and Norman be able to work together to catch the Midnight Striker? Or will their animosity for one another get in the way?

I hope you all enjoy Mary and Norman because I had a good time writing about them. Though this is a crime/mystery, thriller, there is a touch of comedy and a little romance, like my mother always said, what is a story without romance? Love is what makes the world go round :) I can guarantee you guys there is almost non-stop action, I love action LOL. Anyways I am currently working on my short stories I talked about almost a week ago and it's going to be a little creepy LOL I love a little horror so I will add a little in my new short stories, so I will keep you guys up to date on where I'm at on my newest installments, and thanks again for checking out my blog, I appreciate your support :) I hope you all have a good week.

update about my ebooks

Hello everyone, I have some more updates about my books, sometime in the first part or the latter part of April my crime/mystery ebook I talked about a few weeks ago will be released, I am almost finished with it and I am working on some short stories too. I'm still working on the re-release of Eden Secrets, hopefully that will be finished soon, but I can't give you guys a date on when it will be released because it's still in the making, so stay tune. As I mention a few weeks ago, Eden's Secrets will be very different than the first one I wrote, many of scenes in Eden's Secrets are being reworked and added to. This version of Eden's Secrets is kind of like a part 2 so to speak, but not really. In this version of Eden's Secrets more things will be explained that the first one didn't have, each character is getting more depth and personality as well as more back story. I have to say I am really enjoying rewriting Eden's Secrets, rewriting it has taken me back to the world of Camden as well as others. When I am finished I don't know if I will come back to this world, maybe I will, it just depends on what happens in the rewriting. I had no intention of rewriting Eden's Secrets but about a month ago, I was getting a lot of ideas when I fell asleep and than I started writing it, thinking that it was another story but it was in fact Eden's story rewritten. I was up soooo late, LOL. My mom and dad call me a night owl, I can't help it, I do stay up late :) I guess you can call me a vampire because I come alive in the night :) LOL. But anyway, I am working hard on the remake of Eden's Secrets so I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I am :) Also, like I said earlier I am working on an ebook of short stories, that should be ready real soon, but I don't know when because I just started on it while I was editing my crime/mystery book, so I will let you guys know when that is ready too, and again thanks for checking out my blog, I'll be back to let you know when one of my ebooks is ready, so have a good weekend and happy Easter everyone.

Dreams

Hello everyone, I wanted to talk about dreams today, I know you all have a lot of dreams and I would love to hear from you about your dreams and you all want most out of life. I know for myself I didn't know what I wanted to be for the longest time, I was trying hard to figure out what I wanted to be, but I didn't know at first. My mother read a book called Just Who Will You Be? by Maria Shriver and from what I heard about the book, it is a really good book. 

My mother told me about Maria Shriver's book, and the part that stuck with me was when my mother quoited Ms. Shriver's book saying, "When I grow up," my mother loved that part of the book and I loved it too. My mother said to me a few years ago, "when I grow up, I want to go to college," my mother smiled when she said that. Than one day my mother went to college and achieved her goal or rather her dream. 

My mother told me her dream was to go to college, and she reached her dream. I was and still am inspired by my mother, she's my role model, she's a lovely person and I want to be just like her. My mother was also my home school teacher from grades 1 through 12. When I was younger my mother put a love of reading and writing in my heart and the funny part about this is that I hated reading and writing, I thought it was the enemy and I couldn't stand it. 

I thought reading and writing was a complete waste of time, until one day my mother brought home some mystery novels with a touch of horror and I was hooked ever since :) After a while when I got older, I started reading other genres and that was when I found Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, I was really enthralled with her book and I couldn't wait to read part two of her book series. Stephenie's book series inspired me to start writing, but it was nothing long at first, it was really short :) 

Actually, at first, all I could write was the endings of my stories and that was it :) My mother would encourage me to write more, I would read my endings to my mother and she said with a smile, "If we could just get a beginning and a middle, then your ready to go," my mother would laugh when she said this and I would too, that's me, I sometimes do things backwards :) LOL. But anyway, I kept writing and writing and as I wrote, I had no idea I was writing Eden's story. 

I started writing her story back in 2006 or 07. At first Eden started out as a drawing, I love to draw, drawing helps me to relax and chill, and drawing also inspires a lot of my characters I write about. But anyway, Eden started out as a drawing, Eden was a young woman with sad eyes, and the way I drew her told me she was a story in the making, but I didn't know where to go with her untold story. 

Than one day I watched a movie called One Night With The King, I think it came out in 2006, that was the movie that inspired Eden's story, I really love that movie. So I started to draw Eden's character more I wanted her to have a love interest, but every time I drew a man to go with her none would fit, so I was momentarily lost. For the longest time Eden didn't have a love interest, so I took a break and started to write her story, I didn't really get serious writing her story until 2009.

 I was writing fast, I had so many ideas, than in late 2009, I hit a writers block and I had no more ideas for her. I was so lost, but I thought, oh well, than I stopped writing, of course back than I didn't know I wanted to be a writer, I was just writing to relieve stress and relax. I stopped writing about Eden for a long time, but I tried other ideas, but none seem to work, so I took break even though I continued to daydream about Eden and how her story would unfold. 

I still wrote about other stories, and the funny part was the other stories I was writing about was really Eden's story and I didn't know it at the time. Four years later, which was in December 2013, I decided I wanted to be a writer, this was my dream and I wanted to pursue it, so back in December 2013 I officially started writing Eden's Secrets, finally giving the book a name, for fours Eden's book didn't have a name. As I wrote about her story, I finally found Eden's love interest, my mother helped me with his name, she told me to call him Alexander, I was so excited, so I drew his character, and after I drew his character, I knew how I wanted him to be, a kind, caring man that looks out for Eden, a shoulder she could cry on and give her heart too without him ever hurting her. Alexander was easier to develop than Eden, it took me years to figure out how I wanted Eden's personality, but it finally came in December 2013. Well, this is my dream and I finally found out what I wanted to be, I want to be a writer, so I started writing and I hope you enjoy my dream written in my book Eden's Secrets, I would love to hear your dreams, so please tell me your dreams :) My mother told me whatever you dream about, dream big, everything starts out as a dream, one day our dreams will come true.

Update on Eden's Secrets

Here is the cover of my ebook Eden's Secrets, my illustrator Sam O'Neil drew this for me. I am glad to be able to write this story for all to read.  I have been working on this story for almost seven years, it took a lot of time, but it was worth it. I had a blast writing it.  But this story did give me a fit when I was writing it, let me tell you. Lol. This story was really complex, with all the different twists and scenes, it took a lot of time to make. I hope to help my readers to escape from life for a little while, going to a fantasy world were they enjoy themselves. That's why I like to read to help me to escape from life for a little while also, everybody needs to escape for a little bit. :) so I hope you all enjoy my new book.
