Since I gave you a little about me in my last post I thought it time to give you a little info about my book Remembrance. Here's is a little synopsis about it.

Waiting to die isn’t an easy thing to do especially without any possible chance or hope for a cure for the kind of cancer that Kathryn was diagnosed with and the very same that claimed her mother and grandmother as well. When she is stricken with a painful memory of a time when her life and those of her closest friends changed, she decides to relive it. And even though her best friend and a little girl battling Leukemia, which she has taken under her wing, believe a miracle may still happen; Kathryn knows the bitter truth. That her time is running out but not before she has the chance to tell her tale.

The memory of coming home to her hometown of Rosewood after being away at medical school was a life altering moment for Kathryn Caplynn. Her life was good and where she wanted it to be. She thought sure she was ready to step in as the town’s faithful doctor and marry the man she thought she loved until she stepped off the train and ran into her high school sweetheart.

Zach Matthews’s only reason for headed back to where everything fell apart because of a drastic mistake that caused him to lose the love of his life, was to see if he could right a few wrongs. Seeing Kathryn again, only affirmed his love for her and made it stronger. The only trouble: she wants nothing to do with him. Ever.

After an intense emotional argument leaving Kathryn in tears, they part ways. The next time he hears about her, Kathryn has been kidnapped. Now it’s a race against time to find her before something dreadful happens and to reclaim the love they had before it’s too late.

That memory has a special place in her heart as do a few others, but Kathryn hopes that when her time does come, that her family and friends find a way of coping with her death and that remembering the happy times is what matters most.

Well that's pretty much what my book is about . . . hope you are moved enough to go and get a copy for yourself. ;)

I guess it's time to tell you a little about me. And for those who already do just ignore this post entirely (unless you see something new that I haven't told you :)).

Hi, I'm Allyson Bullock, aka: Paige Lewis and I'm the author of Remembrance. Here in this author bio I will tell you a little bit about myself.

I have actually been writing stories since I was little, probably around the age of seven or eight. Maybe even earlier. I would write these short stories about anything or any idea that popped into my head. In seventh grade I decided to try my hand at writing a novel, even if it turned out to be a short one, when I got my idea for it. It took me three years to write it, another few to edit and type it and then finally in 2006 I decided to get it published which it was at last on April 16, 2008. (Boy was I excited!)

Anyway, a little bit a about me now. I'm going on twenty-five (Big mile marker there) and graduated from ASU (Go Devils!) with my B.S. in Biology with a minor in history. As to what I'll do, who knows. I still haven't really chosen a career path. It was either Marine Biology in Florida, Forensics (Gotta love C.S.I) or a librarian but I'm in no rush. Maybe I'll stick with my recent job working for B&N (Barnes & Noble in case you didn't know). I love working there and continue writing and publishing my other novels. I do have many in the works.

Right now I'm content with living in Chandler writing my books, working at Barnes and Noble and surviving our summer heat. Which can really suck sometimes when it's 110 or higher.

Hope y'all enjoy reading about me and please read my book too. Keep on the look out for more to come.

Well that about wraps it up. It's short but I can't give it all away in the beginning. Then there would be nothing left to talk about.

You ever have one of the days or perhaps in this case nights when you just feel absolutely restless. Your just wide awake and can think of nothing to do or want to do because it all sounds blah . . . I had one of those nights Saturday night. I didn’t want to do anything even though I made a million things I could have been doing. But I just didn’t. I know I could have been or should have been out since it was a Saturday night and usually people go out and play if you will but that’s not who I am usually. I’m the kind of person who likes spending nights in curled up with a good book or watching a little TV especially SNL, who doesn’t like SNL, and would stay up until one or two in the morning, unless I had to work the next day. Working on a Sunday, you say. That’s what retail does to you. You don’t have weekends with a job like that but I’m not complaining mind you. I love it. Working in a bookstore (Barnes and Noble), being surround by the one of things you love (books). It’s wonderful. But back to my nighttime dilemma. I hate being restless. I want to do something but don’t know what. Nothing sounds good. At last, I just sat myself down and made myself do some writing while I watched SNL. It’s kind of light writer’s block but that’s another story for another day.

So I went out with my cousin Melissa Thursday (6/18) night because it had been her birthday the week before and she wanted to celebrate with her friends and family here in Arizona since she was in Cali at the time. Her brother, Matt had gotten married on the 6th of June.

Well this was the big one. She turned 21. So obviously we went out to drink. We went to a few bars but one in particular was fantastic. It's called the Big Bang Bar and it's an underground bar in Tempe on Mill. But what was cool about it was the band. It wasn't just your ordinary band. There were two pianos facing each other so players could face off and duel. It was awesome. The fun part was that the audience choose the songs, any song for these guys to play. and they totally went with it having fun and doing silly things like dancing on top of the pianos or getting people to come up on stage and dance.

I totally recommend it for anyone just wanting to have a good time. So if your ever in AZ head over to Mill Ave in Tempe and look up the Big Bang Bar w/ dueling pianos. I know you'll get a kick out of it. I know I did and I will definitely go back.

Well I never thought I'd see the day when I would become part of the blogging world. To be honest I never really thought that much about it when blogging came around. I just thought oh I'll never do that. What would I have to talk about anyway? I said the same thing with joining MySpace (that I never would) and now look where I am. I have a MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/authorgal, but hardly log on anymore as it is. It was fun in the beginning choosing the background and layouts but then it got a little old. But hopefully that won't happen here.

Since this is all new to me I hope you'll bare with me and FYI . . . I'll tell you now that I probably won't kept current with this unless I have news to share. But I will promise to update as often as I can.

I guess one of the reasons I did this is to help along my new found struggling career (if it can be called that. Lol.) as a published author. That is why I did the MySpace page. To promote the book I got published back in April 2008. It still doesn't seem possible that it happened until I hold the book in my hands. Also I was looking at my cousins blog "The Deitz Duo" and thought to myself . . I could probably do one of these. And I had been thinking about it anyway. I was actually going to start one so that I could tell the journey I took to being a published author without the hassle of going through with it in the traditional sense . . . meaning writing a query letter to send to numerous agents hoping they like the idea you have and want to see more than try and sell it to a publishing company and so forth. Who know how long that takes.

Anyway maybe I'll still do that, give some info and advice . . . Who knows.

So welcome to my world . . .
