Life as we know it for me has been a bit difficult.
Uncomfortable.
Not only am I struggling to get into a house because currently my family and I are homeless (but staying with my father, which is a tale in itself), I’m also going through the gambit with men and my writing life. I’ve also started a new job that’s consuming all mental activities and making me really exhausted once I get home.
I’m suppose to be finishing up the edits to His Substitute Wife, but I had to put it down to get the house done. On top of that, I need to finish off Dark Facade Book Four.
I just need to work out the last part. I figured out who killed Lisa and I’ve pretty much wrapped up how I’m going to use Onyx, while slipping in a little bit more about what’s going on in her life – you know with Blaque & Shadow.
(Currently listening to The Tourist with Johnny Depp and I keep typing their lines.)
Also I’m working with @paytonleaf on the final book cover for Dark Facade.
Coming up with a fresh and final book concept to tie all the other books together is very difficult.
I really had planned on book three being the final and leaving it at that, but so much story line had to be put in book four so this is all new.
For this book cover, I thought to concentrate on the rugged Philippe. I hardly have men on my cover and I wanted to do something just a little bit different.

I’m going to incorporate some elements from book one and three into this one and go from there. Wish me luck and thank you for your patience.
Now that I’m 80% moved into my home – kids still need beds and I have other things around the house that need to be worked on (a roof, a basement, a kitchen and so forth) I think I can sit down enough to hack out all the notes I’ve made on scrapes of paper, on my phone and @Evernote (my most favorite app for writers in the world).
Next post will be by this Thursday when I’ll have an excerpt of the book available for you – my loyal #SneakReaders.

Hi Ms. Sylvia,
Don’t worry God is in your corner, and with Him there things will happen for you and your family. I am sure they already have. He has a golden plan for you. I know you will get the rest of the story and others out to your readers, that’s why we are still here. We know we can depend on you and will wait until you put the stories out there,. Like I said, I am a fan for life no matter what. Please take your time, we are still ion yur corner, and may God continue to bless you and your family.
Your loyal fan,
Stephanie

Hi Sylvia I read your excerpt on Dark Facade Book 4..when do you expect to be able to release the full version?
Good Morning Sylvia,
I haven’t seen any posts from you lately and I am wondering if everything is alright with you and your family. Look to hear from you soon. Hope everything is going well for you and the family and on your new job.
it wasn’t alright but i’m hoping it gets better.
I love all of your books that I have read — and I think I’ve only missed one or two. I can’t wait to read Dak Facade Book 4. I finished Stone’s Revenge right before I started that series. I love the way your characters connect. I thinkt he first book I read was about the brothers (drawing the Line), then I read Deceptive Nights. Anyway, I’m awaiting book 4. I pray that God continues to allow you to use your gift of writing to bless our lives.
thnx for yr patience MonieLuv! Book four will hopefully drop Friday
Patiently waiting
🙂 it’s coming Friday
Good things come to those who wait! I know this is going to be well worth the wait!
thank you for yr support and belief in my literary endeavors sdunn! xoxo
Yay Shantay, you FINALLY made your way here… WELCOME! THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME HOOKED ON SYLVIA, LOL
🙂
WELCOME BACK SYLVIA! I know times are hard & hectic, but things WILL get better. I truly believe that & put that positive energy of faith out there. God is working everything out for your good, BUT for his Glory, so that you know it was no one, BUT GOD that worked it out in your favor. You only experience a great lost or difficulty in life when you are about to come into something greater. The beginning of this year may have been hard, but you will end on a very high note! When you affirm & stand firm through it all God honors your faith & comes through. Keep your head held high & continue to be the powerful, strong woman that I have come to know you to be. I will be here supporting you along the way, not with just encouragement, but purchases too =D. Your loyal fans are still here. You have spoiled us so much with pumping out the books so fast, but we needed a dose of reality, that life happens to EVERYONE including our favorite writers. You will fall back into your groove soon enough. Love ya girl!
awww, luvs youse too sdunn. thank you so much. it’s been hard and along with life and the kids, there was so much coming at me, i had to sit my butt down and just close my eyes before i lose what little last nerve i had. hugs and kisses for all yr support and insurmountable patience guys. i really needed it
I completely understand. Sometimes we need to be still & regroup & gather ourselves before we can move forward. As much as we function as superwomen we are not invincible to “life”. It happens to the best of us unfortunately, but you WILL COME OUT ON TOP! BELIEVE THAT!
