Hey guys, before I give you the update about the Council Book 2, I want to start this off by saying how much I appreciate all the support and love from you, my readers. You guys have no idea how much you mean to me.
What I've come on here to write about is The Council, Book 2. It was to be released tomorrow, and even though it is complete, from the beginning it has had a little black cloud over it. So it will not be on Kindle June 20th.
I've had a lot of problems with this book, and frankly, if this book were a person, I'd hit it over the head with a rolling pin.
I'm sure you've all been in that place, where something you worked on just couldn't find it's footing.
Well, I'm in that place right now.
The question I was asking myself was: Do I post it just to post it? Or do I profusely apologize while cursing this book into the far bowels of my computer?
I am choosing option 2.
Why? Because I want to give you guys a good book, not a problem child with a bad attitude. Something about it feels wrong to me, and I need to sit and stew on it before I can decide what it is.
This is good news for you Zack Warren Fans! Because it means that I can really devote my time to Kyle B's book. He's really very vocal right now, as is his love interest. So I'm going to spend some time with them, and make their book something special. Maybe after some reflection, the black sheep of the books in my computer will have complied and given me the right path to take.
In closing, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate every single one of you for reading my books. And don't forget about The McCree's Star Spangled 4th. A free read about Chase and Briar on Kindle this July.
Happy Reading,
J.C. Isabella

The Post of Many Things
I have lots of fun things going on! One of them this weekend, I am spending it with my Aunt Judy in Mt. Dora, just outside Orlando. Yay :) But aside from that, I have a fun freebie on the way!
When I wrote Chasing McCree, I knew I would never write a sequel to Chase and Briar. Their story is done. I will be writing more books with cowboys in them, so no worries there. But until then, I have a special little freebie coming out this summer. It is with Chase and Briar. It's called The McCree's Star Spangled 4th.
Yes, it's a 4th of July BBQ.
And yes, grandma will be attending :)
It's short and sweet, and free for download in early July. I'm going to try to have it up as close to the 4th as possible! So I hope you guys enjoy it. It's just a bit of fun, taking place shortly after Briar's parents have left her on the ranch.
NEXT
The Unofficial Story of Kyle B Johnston. I am working very hard on the book and loving it :) But because of my schedule I'm going to have to push back the release date. It's not set in stone, but you can expect it October 1st. It could be sooner, but I'm leaning on the cautious side to give myself plenty of time.

Once Upon A Time....
Fairy tales are everywhere!
I turn on the TV. I see commercials for movies and TV shows revolving around Snow White. It's kind of crazy how Hollywood has jumped on the fairy tale bandwagon, leaving a blazing trail of apples in it's wake. But I have to say I'm happy. I'm a big fan of Once Upon a Time. I love what they have done with the queen and all the characters. And come on, Rumple? He is badass. They've put such a refreshing twist on one of the fairy tales where the girl was anything but heroic.
Chick runs away and hides with seven little men, only to fall victim to a bad apple, and be kissed back to life by Mr. Hot Stuff in a cape and tights...
At least Cinderella went to the ball!
But while I have some favs in the Snow White genera, I have to hope that Hollywood doesn't lose control of the wagon they so gleefully hopped upon. In the fall there will be a Beauty and the Beast TV show on Cw. Beauty is a cop in this one, plus even more movies than I can keep tack of. Little mermaid, Peter Pan, and...OZ? I didn't classify that as a classic fairy tale, but I'm sure it will be worth seeing...hopefully. I have to say I'm a fan of the original great and powerful, but who knows? Below you'll find a link to imdb. This list is full of stuff I didn't even know was in the works. Lea Michele in the animated Wizard of OZ. Yup. Hansel and Gretel in 3D? Why not. Oh, and can't for get Pan. He's going to be a villain, and Hook is the captain of the police force chasing after him.....IDK if I like the sound of that.
http://www.imdb.com/list/adCaRHxwLtg/
Well, hope you enjoy perusing the list, and that your head doesn't spin off into space from the overload of fairy tale magicalness. Mine was teetering for a second, just trying to digest it.
So this brings on a few questions, how do you think Hollywood's fantastical fairy tales will effect the books appearing on our shelves? Will the publishing industry follow via magic carpet? Or will it be a flash in the pan?
