Beast-newly edited
I have quite the number of re-edited works published. These are edits that have been edited for grammar but the stories itself doesn't change. If you have Amazon Kindle and you have enabled 'book update' then these changes will update automatically. If they do not change then by contacting Amazon's customer service, it will allow the changes to be pushed to your Kindle.
I want to thank Nikita Bryant for reaching out and offering her services. She did a great job on Beast! This story has recently been a bestseller on Amazon and AllRomance e-books. It has been very eye opening to see reviews that state the story would have been better had it been edited.
Again, that is why I have re-edited and reduced the price of each of the re-edited books. The edits go across the board to all areas where you can purchase Beast in e-book or in paperback. Thanks friends, fans and family. And thank you Nikita.

A Seal Upon Your Heart
I've had the supreme honor of releasing the latest edition of my book; A Seal Upon Your Heart. As I mentioned in earlier posts, I intend to release newly edited versions of previously released books. The latest is A Seal Upon Your Heart which was edited by acclaimed author J.J. Murray and his wife Amy. They have an editing business and I was quick to take advantage of it as soon as I learned of it! Thus far they have worked on 3 of my novels.
I created an e-book trailer. You can purchase this new edition in paperback at Createspace. If you have an Amazon Kindle it should update automatically.

I looking for an experienced editor to work on a manuscript in the genre of High Fantasy; Lord of the Rings, Hobbit etc. A friend has lost his editor at the pivotal point of his publishing and is in need of one that is reasonably priced. You can email me at pepperpace.author@yahoo.com
Thank You!

Where is Pepper Pace?
I feel as if I've fallen off the face of the earth, but I have returned. Sorry that I've been gone for so long but I want to share some of the things that I've been up to and what is to come next from Pepper Pace.
Basically I feel as if I've just come off writing boot camp! I just completed a novel entitled Everything is Everything. This is my twist on the 70's era urban street stories written by authors such as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim. In fact, Donald Goines influenced a number of pimps to author books in the 70s in what is sometimes called 'black revolutionary literature'. It entails graphic depictions of the hardship of ghetto life. The topics generally center on drugs, prostitution, police and racial issues. When I was a youngster growing up in the 70s and 80s, I devoured these books--and have a small collection of them. I am proud to pay homage to one of my favorite author's Donald Goines by using his writing style in my current novel.
Right now urban literature is just as popular as ever, with dynamic authors keeping it alive such as; Kole Black, K'wan, Sapphire and Sista Souljah.
...however, this is not the urban lit that I've written. I've written a 70s style urban tale. It is gritty though lacks a lot of the graphic raunchiness that I see in modern day street lit. I even have a cool 70's poster style book cover, thanks to my sister who designed it!

This ebook will be available on various site in either late June or early July.
Also...
I am publishing a .99 story that should be available this weekend entitled Wrong Turn Towards Love. You may have read it if you purchased the Seduction Anthology written by CeCe Monet and myself. It is one of my 3 stories that appeared in the book. As usual my ebooks will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and AllRomance e-book. Currently there are no plans to turn it into a paper back.
Also...
Urban Vampire book 3 will be receiving its finishing touches for release in early April. My apologies for the pushback but it absolutely could not be avoided.
Also...
I will be having a live chat on the Drea and Milana show. They host a blog radio on Saturdays. It will March 29, 6pm cst. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dreariley/2014/03/16/chatting-with-authors-jayha-leigh-and-jeanie-johnson

Also...
I will be cancelling my trip to this year's Slam Jam event. That can't be avoided either.
Also...
I will begin writing Wheels of Steel book 4 in hopes that it will be available before I lose all of my WOS followers.
Also...
I will continue grammatical re-edits of my previously unedited titles. Expect to see A Seal Upon my Heart, Love Intertwined books 1 & 2, and Baby Girl in the Mean Boss.
Also...
BEAST is coming to audiobooks in April!!!
Also...
This year I will be publishing my first client under the newly formed Pepper Pace Publictions! Shhhh...I can't say anymore.
Also...
Mid summer of 2014 I will have some nice surprises for my fans though currently they can't be discussed as it includes others so I'm not sure why I am mentioning it here (other than that is a done deal).
Also...
I will be attending the 2014 IR readers cruise in late September (bookings still available!) for some much needed R&R and fan fun time. Exclusive stories will be available to event goers only.
Lastly...
I have been given the task to publish X-amount of new stories each year (I believe 3 is the magic number) which I will achieve, God willing.
And THEN there is my personal life including my job, family, and of course romance.
It's tough, but I do it because I want to, not because I have to. Love you guys!

Beast is number 1!
Thanks go to you all for all of your support and special special thanks go out to those who leave reviews. Beast has a whopping 160 5-star reviews on Amazon out of 186!
More information on non-receipt of my e-book updates
Many thanks to ShornaR for taking the time to contact Amazon concerning non-receipt of the re-edited e-books that I've been working so hard on.
If you use Amazon to purchase your e-books you should be able to automatically receive updates on your e-books. You do this by going to YOUR ACCOUNT, then MANAGE YOUR DEVICES, and lastly AUTOMATIC BOOK UPDATE. You can turn this option on and off and it is supposed to allow the updates to happen automatically. Well it's not happening automatically for many people. So ShornaR contacted Amazon who gave her some enlightening information which she has shared with us. Amazon's response is that the updates will not happen if the book has not been 'quality reviewed' by the staff.
However, I can not accept that explanation. Whenever an author uploads an e-book to Amazon it does go to a quality control and is kicked back to have corrections made if necessary. When asked how long this supposed quality control would take since some of the updates were made three or more months previously, the CSR indicated that he did not know. However he then went on to send each of the new edits to ShornaR--which made no sense to us that it is NOW okay to send them even though they evidently have not been quality controlled.
So how I interpret this is that if you contact Amazon's customer service (best done on live chat through your computer) you will then be sent the updates.
