Hiccup in the plans. Please don't be made at me.

I'm working like a Hebrew slave and you know I hate rush endings.   Albeit I've been accused of it before, but this one is very important, so with that, this is sad news that I'm going to try for Sunday. I was going to say Saturday, but I don't want to push it.   I'm going to try not to miss another deadline and I'm so sorry about this.

Emperor's Addiction Chapter 25.3 - about time!

Writing Actions Scenes

Suspense involves a lot of elements. Killing scenes and love scenes I've mastered perfectly. (A little bit too good on the love scenes, huh, LOL.)

But the action scenes have been a challenge for me for a while.

The best action scene I've written is in Stealing Innocence when Onyx and Lethal entered the house and Onyx took that guy out with extreme prejudice. Dropped him like a bad habit and didn't blink. Then there was the warehouse scene where the bad men were shooting up a storm with the kids and Kimberly.

I liked that one.

Although that the scene where William fought with the killer in Stone's Revenge was pretty good too.

I mean when its involved in killing I've been surpriseningly and scarily pretty good too.

The Hearts have always been an action family and they've been a good outlet to write. But these darn action scenes are so damn detailed in this book because I'm dealing with more than one Heart at a time and they've all got drama of their own that weaves around main story line.

This makes it more complicated and harder to write.

Or more like exhausting. Can you just imagine having all these big strong overwhelming men in one room all taking and doing things?

That's how I feel and that's why i've been slow at posting things because I have to take them one layer at a time so I don't feel so damn overwhelmed (especially when dealing with King and Lethal.)

thank you for your patience with me and no, you don't have to check out Expedia deals to Detroit. I'm fine.

I'm currently trying to get this story out theway and concentrate on my conference.

Plus, i'm re-editing His Substitute Wife... My Sister, which I think will be my next paperback in 2009. I'll release it exclusively on Amazon on paperback and see how the sells go. It's a big book and i'm going to trim it down some although I think the story is just wonderful. I might even break the story up and go from there. That'd be fly... oh yeah, now that I'm thinking about it and writing about it, I think I'd be just perfect.

Can you tell me where I could possibly break it up at though? and then I'll need a subtitle for each part. Help a sister out.

If you haven't read His Substitute Wife... My Sister, you can do so now by going to http://lulu.com/sylviahubbard and picking up your copy.

Emperor's Addiction Chapter 25.2 & Author's Note

Answers to readers:

 

Sylvia is here.

 

Spent weekend in Chicago hosted by Glen with 220 Communications and he was awesome.

 

I did a book signing at Azizi Books in Matteson and then Glen took me to an awesome concert.

 

I'll be back in Chicago on the 19th of September so I expect to see a better turnout!

 

I'm exhausted, but I had time to think about the story and even work a little of it out on my phone because i left my laptop in Detroit on purpose.

 

I see the ending, but I have to get a lot of things explained. Like how to make sure you aren't really confused.

 

 

 

enjoy...

I try to deal with the King character as little as possible. because i don't like him on the inside. i did rewrite this part to describe him a little to you which meant i had to look him in the face. don't get mad at me because of that, i got a little king in me and did something really awful.

 

your fault.

 

enjoy...

Author's Note - the halfway mark & responses

No this is not to stop the story... (new readers the old readers know I'm good for that one after chapter 20).

I forgot to warn you that we've approached the halfway mark and we're right on schedule to the SHTF moment.

I for one am pretty proud of myself and now looking for some kinky sex. Plus i still gotta set up the stuff for the next book.

first off, Suprina, yes, that's what i'm doing. incorporating a lot of stories at the same time. In my mind, it's actually sectioned off to three different worlds. One for the hearts, the other for the bellini's and the third is for any stories that aren't related to either story line. (Yeah, when are those coming out? I don't know yet, but the glass is filling up fast.)

Anyhoo, the hearts have to be sectioned into three parts which are the detroit and chicago, plus a small portion for the past crap - their parents and the only unfinished case Lethal's ever had when he was working for the government that will slap him like acid in Stealing Innocence III.

I've been reluctant to get to Emperor's Heart because it involves Chicago - where the Hearts of chicago are and also .... the Bellini's.

Now for new readers, you'll have to read this entire durn blog to find out about the family or better yet, read all the books.

There's a post with family members on it that I've mentioned at:

http://sylviahubbard.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/the-bellinis/

Now the concept of showing another viewpoint of what's going on is harder than it looks when this family is involved, although you'll get some of Blaque's POV in the Teach Me To Love book when I do Onyx's story... yes, that's coming last! AFTER STEALING INNOCENCE SO DON'T EVEN ASK WHEN. lol

Because the Bellini family is just as complicated, although they won't kill you just because it rained, they're all very complicated men and one woman - that bytch Taylor, but I can't remember where you met her at. I want to say Drawing the Line, but I think you'll correct me if I'm wrong.

But there will be different POV's to story's that yu've already read because as everything is happening in the Hearts things are still going on in the world of Bellini's that sometimes effected some of the Hearts story - you just didn't know until you read the books.

That's a good thing ain't it. It'll keep you reading me for years to come when i run out of ideas and have bad wrists and can't write anymore. You'll wear out books like tissue and you'll have to keep buying more books to replace the others.

Good!

Wear them out!

LOL.

I'll actually be able to sit at home and write if you do that.

Moving on....

Reader, Tc (I didn't know if you wanted your name out there):

I decided to answer your question online because four other people asked me similiar type questions you had also offline.

READER QUESTION: sTILL trying to read the rest of the books where the Hearts makes appearance. I ask if Lawrence from Deceptive Nights will have his story. And I think Treasure Heart and Richard from Tanner's Devil should hook up. Will you give Mandigo his own story? I think you should let him hook up with Charisse's friend from His Subsitute Wife My Sister IN the mental hospital. So far I have read Sex Weed, Teach Me Love, Sins Iniquity, Drawing the Line Baby Doll Read Heart Road to Freedom Silent Lynx Love Like This Love 101 Sweet Justice and I'm READING Emperor's Heart on youR blog.

ANSWER: I'm up in the air about Lawrence from Deceptive Nights. I really didn't like him and unless I strip down his manhood to the ground, which I could just have Onyx beat the shyte out of him, then that's the only way he'll get his own story by himself.

Mandingo's story will be intertwine with King's Paradise. I figure since i need King in order to loosen up Manny - forgiveness will be in order to bend him to accept what he deserves. As to whom will I hook him up with, it's been guessed at but I gotta leave a little of some'um, some'um in surprises.

Thank you so much for supporting my literary endeavors.

did anyone do their homework and study the heart family chart?

http://sylviahubbard.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/hearts-family-tree   okay one mo'gin!   Luce is the last line. One of the youngest and more disturbed individuals.   Where'd he come from?   Most of the Hearts, as you know aren't very nice and some are crazy.   Luce is demented, but like Manny, he obeys Lethal to the letter. Unlike Manny, he doesn't take into account that people are human and can get hurt, but he'll do the job no matter.   Lethal tries to use Luce as little as possible.   Unfortunately during all this ruckus, Manny was busy - (Sin's Iniquity) and he couldn't be reached.   i hate dealing with Luce as well, but with World War III on the brink inside of the family, I had to introduce him before the SHTF.   He's manny's brother if you must know and don't want to look at the chart. He's a cousin.   BTW, the reader that asked if I was going to do something about Lawrence in Deceptive Nights, I was still thinking on him. even though he was a dick, I still liked him and I got Treasure Heart (with the big chest from Tanner's Devil) in the wings with a small story that needs a man part, but i was thinking of Richard (Deviln's brother ) from Tanner's Devil because he was an even bigger dick.   What'cha think?
