As the title says, all of my updates are all about books in The Alpha Series! Sorry fans of the Lucky and Moonhunter series! Your time to shine is on the horizon!  The Alpha Nanny Update So, what did you think of the new cover? I personally love it. It really blends well together. Plus the pink really makes the book pop. In other news, I've finished my final edits for The Alpha Nanny and have submitted them to Amazon for approval. I will be posting the preorder link once the book is approved, but the date stands as August 30th.   I've also downloaded the MOBI file. For any readers or reviewers who would like a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review please let me know. While it's not mandatory to submit a review, all reviewers who send me a screenshot of their review will get a signed paperback copy of The Alpha Nanny for free from me.

The Writing Journal- What Was My Word Count Again? - 7/17/2019

Image
Hello again! Last week's journal was very popular! Popular in the sense that I've doubled the amount of views of my normal postings, from eight to sixteen. That isn't too bad, right? So in honor of the increase readers, I'am sharing my journey through writing again. As you can see from the meme above, writing is SO HARD! By me sprinting through Mohinder's Wrath last week, I thought that I was some invincible writing god able to write at untold speeds. It turns out, that there is this little thing called life and it decided to get in the way this weekend. Last Saturday, we moved into our new home. This is my first time owning a home, and let me tell you, I'm already tired. Between taking care of my child, cleaning, unpacking, and yard work, it took a full weekend. Yeah that's right yard work. I haven't had to work in the yard since I was sixteen, I forgot how hot it gets. Ugh! I haven't had much time to write because of this. In addition

A New Hope: Writing Journal 7/11/2019

Hello and thank you for reading my new series titled My Writing Journal. This week's theme is, A New Hope. So, what is this journal about? Here I will discuss what I’ve been up to in my writing career. I will discuss current WIPs, word counts, editing goals, and other items as well. Mohinder’s Wrath/Moonhunters Update Starting off let’s talk about the biggest news of the post. I’ve finished Mohinder’s Wrath! After 20 months, 35 chapters, 126 pages, and 82,382 words, I am finally finished with the rough draft of #mohinderswrath . I’ll tell you what it was a journey writing this monster. Upon several occasions, I felt like quitting and ditching the #Moonhunters series entirely. pic.twitter.com/A6Nm4pfkHc — Remy Marie (@remymarieauthor) July 10, 2019 I can’t believe that I’ve finished this draft. There were so many times that I’ve wanted to give up, but in the last two weeks, I pushed through and finished the damn thing. While there is a TON of editing that needs

The Alpha Nanny Cover Shoot (Get Free Pictures of the Photo Shoot!)

Over the past two weeks I’ve been acting like a kid before Christmas. Why? Because I hired a photographer to do a photo shoot for my upcoming novel The Alpha Nanny. As a self publisher I was at a crossroads. I am an interracial romance writer and one of the promises I made was that I would feature a POC on the cover, and if I could, that person would be in a romantic embrace with another race.   Why do I look for covers like these? Because this tells readers, this is what your going to read. You are going to read a book about a black woman finding love with a white man. Take it or leave it. Another reason why I look for couples in an embrace is because to me, the couple seems more realistic than just two stock photographed people pasted together. While there’s nothing wrong with this, (I’m going to have to use this style of cover for several of my books) I just like my interracial covers to look like this, both as a reader and writer. Lastly, a couple in a romantic embra
