Happy Holidays

December 25, 2009 By 2 Comments

Hey, y’all. I wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone Happy Holidays. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or Chanuka or Yule or just waiting to ring in the New Year next week, I hope everyone has a safe and happy time.

Just a couple of quick announcements:

  • No new chapters on Christmas Day. I was going to update Love Will Lead Us, but I’m going to take the day off instead. The story will be back as scheduled on New Year’s Day. I thought skipping this week would be better than throwing something together in between cookie batches.
  • The Freelancer has continuous posts through the end of the year and extra posts the first week of January. If you haven’t yet, now’s the time to check it out. I’m told things seem to be heating up. ;)
  • Earlier in the week, I asked for some reader feedback. If you haven’t responded yet, I hope you’ll take the time because it would really help me out.

Enjoy your holidays,

Jen

New Story Announcement – Love Will Lead Us

The picture has nothing to do with it, but it was popping up in my control panel and I thought it looked cool…

As you may have noticed, Ritual Awakening is taking a short break while I work on a special freelance article project.  The Freelancer is also still on hiatus.  Both will be back in November.

But I can’t leave the site dead, now can I?

So, to fill the time gap, without driving myself nuts trying to write something, I’m going to go ahead and move an existing story over here.  It’ll be a bit different because it’s a Prison Break fan fiction, but trust me, you don’t need to know the show or the characters to understand the story – just an angsty drama.

The repost of Love Will Lead Us will begin this week and will be on an accelerated posting schedule to get this site caught up, so make sure to check back often for updates.  Better still, plug in your email at the upper right to subscribe.  Don’t worry…still no spam. :)

And if angst and drama isn’t your cup o’ tea, all the suspense, romance and intrigue of the other two will be back in November.

Still haven’t caught up on The Freelancer or Ritual Awakening? Now’s your chance!

Site Announcement

July 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Hey y’all.  Just wanted to interrupt the flow of chapters to thank everyone for reading.  (Yep, I know you’re here even if you aren’t saying anything…well, not “you” specifically, but someone.)  Anyway.  Your continued support of my writing endeavor is very much appreciated!

Now onto some quick information on both of the books currently available on this site…

Ritual Awakening (Part 1 of the Denying Destiny Trilogy)

Well, the full moon is finally here so that means it’s time for the Ritual Awakening to begin!  If you didn’t catch the prologue then be sure to check it out before reading the first chapter when it becomes available.  For anyone who’s been reading The Freelancer or any of my fan fiction, this one is going to have a VERY different tone than the other…yet be somehow familiar.   ;)

The Freelancer (Book 1 in the Undercover Series)

The Freelancer will be going on hiatus during the month of July to make way for a proper launch of Ritual Awakening.  If you’ve fallen behind – or haven’t started it yet – then now is your chance to catch up on the suspense and the romance.  Enjoy the breather until it returns in August because once it returns, expect things to take a dramatic turn.  You won’t want to miss it!

Pick Your Novel

February 19, 2009 By 3 Comments

Hey y’all.

In preparation of the next novel being released on the site, I thought it would be a good idea to get some input from readers on what you want to read.  Keep in mind, I won’t begin the release of the 2nd novel until at least March, but I wanted to give as much time for feedback as possible.

So here are the options:

~Pocket Aces

 

Pocket Aces is the first in the Wild Card series where we meet Alexa Darrow, a brilliant student of the human mind who has zero common sense.  Only Alexa could go to lay flowers on a grave and end up with a mafia target on on her boobs.  Now, the one man who can save her life is the one man with the power to destroy her.

When the chips are down, a pair of aces in the pocket just might save your life…

 

~Ritual Awakening (working title)

 

Based on my research into real vampires, psychic powers, Empaths, the occult and the paranormal…Ritual Awakening is the story of how a young woman balances discovering her true nature, an illicit affair with an older man and a cult bent on using her to fulfill their dark prophesy…all while coping with high school life.

Blood-drinking, wild panther sex and psychics?  My high school was nothing like this…

 

Pick your poison by leaving your selection in comments.  I’m staying out of this one so…what’s it going to be y’all?  Have your say before it’s too late…

Welcome to Your Littlest Sin

February 16, 2009 By 2 Comments

Hello and welcome to Your Littlest Sin.  Some of you may already know exactly what this site is all about because you received an invitation from a different site.  Others may have run across me purely by accident.  Regardless, you may well be wondering what an online fiction site is doing with a name like Your Littlest Sin.

Well, you could ask my best friend, Star, but I’ll be nice and answer that so as not to inundate her inbox with the same question over and over – though that would be sort of fun for me…

When I was deciding on a name for the site, I knew I wanted more than just jnicolewhitten.com for the actual fiction I’d be posting.  (jnicolewhitten.com is, however, on the way since every author really needs to have their own website to talk about how awesome they are, right?)  More than wanting something beyond my name, I wanted something that would represent my body of work in an unusual way.  As I do with virtually everything I’m trying to decide, I tossed the question over to Star.

So, yes, Your Littlest Sin is really her doing; however, she’s going to comment and say that if I hadn’t gotten her hooked on “The Feel Good Drag” by Anberlin then she wouldn’t have had that line stuck in her head while doing laundry in the first place.  *shrugs*  It doesn’t matter who thought it up, really; it matters that the name is perfect for my purposes.

Consider the word sin. What comes to your mind?  Murder?  Sex?  Crime?

Evil?

All these things can be found in my writing to varying degrees.  All the little sins – and the big ones – are the spice that make it worth reading.  Or at least, that’s my hope.

But why Your Littlest Sin?  Simple.  Don’t we all have other things beyond reading tugging at our limited time?  When I consider all I should be doing when a book is instead in my hands I can usually find a way to rationalize it in such a way that it’s more than just my own selfishness.  Perhaps reading is my littlest sin…but it would be awesome if it were the biggest. ;)

So, I do hope you’ll enjoy your time spent here reading about my characters while they engage in all their little sins.  Look at it this way, it’s better than going out there and committing them for yourself, isn’t it?
