Jamaica 2008 I am FREAKING excited....only today and tomorrow left to get through and I am finally finished with graduate school. This process has been such a long one for me. After getting laid off from my 2nd placed dream job( I worked at 4Kids, so free toy swag I miss you) it was time to get that 1st place dream job and since I enrolled in grad school in 2009 it's been nothing but a process. Getting into school, finding money to pay for it, getting accepted into the education program, taking a two semester break because I had a baby and almost paid for it with my life due to MORON MALE doctors (thanks to get Great female doctor who like totally saved me. Blood clots KILL),  and now finally finally I am at the finish line. I really can't wait to be a teacher, but I have two weeks off before school here in New York is back in session. So for the next two weeks I will be working on all the book/stories that I've started and haven't finished. Hopefully 2014 will s...

So Christmas is almost upon us once again and you're thinking of gifts. Why not give that person you're thinking of some eBooks. Here are a couple of suggestions: This is my latest books Practically Fiction . My first and only anthology at the moment. This books features ten short stories that I've written and have put out there individually, but to save time and effort I've place them all in one book What Happened to Kerbie Walobee? was released earlier this year.  It's a great books for preteens and young adults. Moving into a new town can bring all kinds of new adventures but sometimes those new things can get you into a lot of trouble. Another great books is from bestseller Rick Riordan: The House of Hades . If you're children are fans of Percy Jackson then they will love Riordan's latest book because I know I do. The book takes up where his previous work left off. Percy and Annabell are trapped in Tarterus and it's up to t...

Hey All!!! So you might be wondering what I've been doing all this time since I haven't updated the site in a while. I am very sorry for that since I remember me say that I would try and update it every two days, but that didn't work out, so now I am going to update you on my latest ADDICTION, which are Korean Dramedies. Are you scratching your head asking "What's a Dramedy?" Well a dramedy is a combination of the word drama and comedy. Shows that have awesome comedic moments in them, but also drama like a soap opera, but without all the old bags. So for the past couple days I've been watching a lot of Korean dramedies on NETFLIX and they are so good. I didn't expect to get caught up in them but they get you so involved. Sure I am totally late since most of the series I am watching only had one season to tell the whole story an they were all aired between 2007-2010, but who cares if I am late to the party....At least I made it and here we go. ...

SPOILERS First and foremost this movie was awesome. Of all the superheros Marvel has I have to say that Thor is in my top 5 male superheroes that I honestly LOVE and will spend money to go and see. Thor played by the awesome Chris Hemsworth is once again out not just to say Earth and his lady love Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), but all of the nine realms in this latest installment of the Norse Gods awesomeness. In this movie we meet a new foe of course the dark elf Malekith played by Christopher Eccleston (You might know him from a little BBC series call Doctor Who the 9th Doctor). Malekith sets out to bring back darkness to a world of light. When in search of Thor, Jane finds an ancient evil said to be destroyed by Odin's father, but it isn't so. In a race against time Thor, reunites with troublesome brother to save the universe from darkness.  This movie is well worth the money...I sat there in awww of the special effects, the magnificent shot of Asgard. If ...

So I wanted to share with you the new cover for my latest project. I know what you're saying "but La Luna or Shamara or Mrs. Davis, you didn't finish you other projects yet." OH WELL I'll get to it but I was so excited to be working on this (and you're saying what is THIS??) a compilation of all the things I've written so far. All the short stories I've posted and some of my other writings. So here it is : So I don't know when I am going to be finished with this since I am backed up with a lot of my projects right now and there are new ones that are just buzzing around in my brain waiting for their turn to see themselves on paper. But for now I am just grabbing everything and putting it all together for your reading pleasure. So basically I am placing everything in one place to make sure that you can find whatever work I've done outside of my books. I have six weeks left of my Masters program and after that I am on the job hunt but I am ...

Hi Readers, I just wanted to give you a quick  update...As you can see the sight hasn't been really updated as much as I use to update it, that's because I have been student teaching. For those that don't know what student teaching is, that is when they give you the student a chance to get in front of a class and teach whatever grade level you are getting your degree in for 1/2 a semester of full semester and gain the experience you need to become a teacher.  So far I have finished 1/2 of my student teaching and I am currently on my second half here at a high school in Brooklyn, NY. I must say that I had a great experience with the students at BECS which is the Junior High I started at. I learned a lot about myself there as a teacher and I will never forget it or them. But anyway back to the site. I am hoping to at least update the site every two days or so with new books for you to check out and to let you know about any new book releases from me (Shamara Da...

I must say in advance that people will be annoyed with the lead character because me being who I am I kept saying why doesn't he say something, why doesn't he do something, but when you look back at it you see that he is just a kid that no one really pays much mind too and he doesn't get the support from those around them that he should get. But going to a different environment he finds this support in people the rest of his community looks down on.  This was a great book to read. I started reading it because I had to read it with the 8th grade class that I was leading, but I finished the book in advance to create questions for them to answer and test their knowledge of the reading. I must say that I really liked it because it taught all kinds of lessons, such as sticking up for yourself, speaking out when you see something that is unjust done, and doing the right thing and sticking up for people you consider your friends. I think that anyone that...

Today we have a guest post from a wonderful indie writer. She is currently on her tour blog to promote  and her  books. Please let me introduce you to author Mia Darien. I love writing. I hate writing. Honestly, aside from my child, my writing life is one of the most rewarding and frustrating things I've ever known. There are some stories that just flow from you and take almost no effort at all. Others have to be wrestled with and dragged forth, word by word, with blood, sweat, and a lot of cursing and keyboard bashing. Unfortunately, being hard to write doesn't mean it's not worth doing. In fact, sometimes hard means it needs to be told. "Written All Over Her" is the fourth full book in the Adelheid series. Every book in the series is written in First Person, but the narrator changes from book to book. So while we met Detective Nykk Marlowe in book one, and saw her in the subsequent two, book four was the first time she...

Hate and greed knows no boundaries in the lives of many. The branches of a family tree are often broken by the murderous connections of those around them. An inheritance is stolen, voices are heard, women are hunted, revenge is sought, and vows are broken.  These six short stories, plus two bonus excerpts of novellas, illustrate that connection of hate and how family can be the deadliest of all. The saying of “blood is thicker than water” has no meaning within the lives of these families. Visit THE ANTHOLOGY OF MURDEROUS CONNECTIONS  at Amazon.com Visit D.L.

"If you like zombies, action and humor, crack a beer, pull up a bar stool, and prepare for one wild ride." Charlie Campbell was your average, balding, thirty-year-old alcoholic with a dead-end job and a penchant for shambling through life one mistake after another. However, none of that mattered following the sudden arrival of a mysterious sickness that brought with it infected mobs of zombie-like creatures thirsting for the flesh of the living. Trapped in a Chicago apartment the morning after a raucous bachelor party, Charlie and his old fraternity buddies must battle for survival against the cannibalistic horde, a military invasion and their own rampant stupidity.  With supplies, common sense and brain cells dwindling by the hour, the motley crew — including a racist cop, a Sri Lankan used car salesman, a stoner landlord and a pet raccoon — must pull out all the stops to avoid joining the ranks of the dead.

So lately you've probably noticed that I've been putting a up a lot of book promos on the site, well that's because I am trying to expose my readers, browsers,  and my stop and take a look and keep on going, audience to some really good indie authors out there. All of the authors that I have been doing book promos for a self published authors like myself who I believe need all the exposure they can get so people can see their work and see that you have so great stuff out there.

Get caught up in Beneath the Scars Tom sat at the beach feeling blue. It was the only place that he went to sit and relax and let his tensions drift away. He sat and watched a young woman playing in the ocean. He admired her gorgeous figure and the way she stood in the water getting her jeans wet. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her. She didn’t have a care in the world. April let the water splash over her feet. It felt as if the little splashes were cleansing her. She slowly made her way back to her vehicle. She couldn’t take her eyes off of the gent sitting on the bench. He spoke to her as she walked by. She answered his question but slurred and wasn’t clear. He took offence and commented. He was abrupt and abrasive. Only when the wind suddenly came up and her fringe flapped in the air did he realize what a big mistake he had made. Tom felt awful. He had to apologize. All it took was a little apology and life for both Tom and April changed. Get Beneath The Scars at Smashwor...
