Dear Friends, I woke up this morning to an astonishing revelation that left me baffled, intrigued, and, I must admit, a little amused. It appears the characters from the Creatus series, The Southern Collection, and the Midnight Sons have chosen today, of all days, to go on strike. Yes, you read that right! My beloved characters have decided they deserve a day off until I give them what they want. As I tried to negotiate with them—a tricky feat, given their adamant stance on enjoying a bit of leisure—they've presented me with a list of demands. They're quite the imaginative bunch, as you well know. Here are a few of their requests: More Plot Twists: They're craving adventures that are even more labyrinthine and mind-bending. They want you, the readers, to be on the edge of your seats, guessing until the very last page. Exotic Locations for Future Stories: Our Southern charmers are looking to mix it up with the mystical beings from the Creatus universe in locations that span from the enchanting Land of the Noonday Sun in North Carolina to the Land of the Midnight Sun in Alaska. Crossover Cameos: In an unprecedented move, characters from The Southern Collection are negotiating cameo appearances alongside Sam and his team in Alaska to Derrick and the New England Creatus family, who will be soon gathering in Maine. Imagine the rich, Southern charm of Jordan and his friends and the tough Alaska rescue team meeting the secretive, supernatural world. The possibilities are endless! Okay, if you haven’t figured this out yet, this is definitely an April Fools' joke, started by Mike from the Creatus series. Only he would think up something like this. I let him go ahead with it because he’s so fun and lovable, but decided I better offer a peace offering and a treat for you, my dear readers. So, on this April Fools' Day, I am placing The Southern Collection in Kindle Unlimited for a Limited Time, which means that not only can you READ the complete series free, you can also listen to the audiobooks! Find the complete collection HERE! If you are unfamiliar with Kindle Unlimited subscriptions, you can read about them on Amazon.com! Until next time, Happy Reading, and, remember, today is a day for laughter, surprises, and, of course, a little bit of mischief. Warmest regards, Carmen DeSousa If you are new to my books, here are the FIRSTS in the three series I mentioned!

Hello, Friends! UNFORGIVABLE is a book of my heart, flowing right through me and onto my screen. It contains twists and turns and characters who aren’t quite what they seem. More importantly to me, the characters grow and transform…though some in not exactly good ways. Here’s a quick blurb: When an old friend returns to Katie's small Georgia town, somehow knowing her deepest secrets, his ominous premonition drives her to dig into dark truths that lead to a killer…who has her in his sights. Speaking of UNFORGIVABLE, I undertook a big challenge in this last year—turning the novel into a screenplay! So many readers have told me, “You should make this into a movie!” As if I had the power to do that, ha-ha-ha. Most authors dream of seeing their creations on any kind of screen, even knowing that it will be dramatically changed from the book. And now I see why. Fitting a 400 page book into 120 very sparse pages that scripts are comprised of is mind-blowing. Anything that makes the script go longer than that or doesn’t translate to the very visual media has to go. Really, you have to be brutal with editing! But I’ve gone through the many edits and learned the process and now it’s in a few people’s hands who will hopefully see the vision and want to produce it. My fingers are crossed! These things can take years, so I shall focus on other things as I wait for good news. It’s fortunate that I set it in rural Georgia, which is very film-maker friendly. In this world of ups and downs, we can sure use good news and uplifting stories of triumph and happily-ever-afters. I wish you all of those for the holidays and the coming year! Cheers!
