Pretty Sure Nobody Reads My Blog

Since I am pretty sure nobody reads the blog (a bit of sadness) I am going to take this moment and post the outline short story that will be expanded to be included in my new novel Monster U Remember everything is copyrighted all rights reserved by me Katherine Rochholz :)


Frank:

      “What do I know about love and pain? What does anybody know about love and pain? I don’t know the pain of birth, of the start of life. I don’t know the pain of death… I never will. I was created. For parts of people who know the pain of birth, of life, of death. Those that knew love. But I have no soul. The people who once owned my body parts did… they could feel love… but I can not. My ‘father’ created me a hundreds of years ago. His death that night the village found out haunts me to this day. Is that love? I am haunted by his death… All their deaths… By my life… Is that Love?”
      Frank looked at the clock and knew it was time to prepare for the day. He put his journal away; he placed it in his drawer on top of his father’s journals; the ones that had all the notes that caused Frank’s existence. He slammed the door a little hard, and locked the drawer. He looked in the mirror his skin had a light green tint; but it was nothing a bit of make-up could not hide. He had gotten very good at hiding the color of his skin. It took a lot more time to hide his stitching, but he had taken to wear long sleeve shirts and pants no matter the temp; after all he was room temperature. He was dead. With no circulating blood. No soul.
       He didn’t have to hide his bolts to much anymore, thankfully strange and exotic piercings are popular during this time, and most people see them as a piercing. They always asked if his favorite book is Frankenstein. Frank hated that book. It made his father and himself as a monster. Well, that night they were, when they killed his father. He killed the village. Mary Shelly was the only survivor. She wrote their story. He should have killed her. But she was a young child. He couldn’t bring himself to kill the child.
      He looked at the note that Cameron had left for him. Something about picking up milk for some meal he wanted made tonight. Well, Cameron can cook for himself. The boy king got on Frank’s nerves. But, he would be lost with him, Lucas, and Drake. They all met a few hundred years ago. Well, he first met Cameron. He used to be Tutankhamen. Frank had been wondering around Europe looking for a place to live, when he ran in to him. He took pity on the monster and invited him to stay with him. Frank didn’t know what pride was then and jumped at the chance. He barely could speak at the time. However with Cameron’s help he became highly educated.
      Education… their path to living in mainstream America… moving here may not have been the best idea. Many people are too curious about new comers, but on a college campus the majority of people are new, so it was easy to come up with a generic story to tell them about where they were from. Frank looked at himself in the mirror, his green skin now covered, and he was set to go about his day. But he was still upset… as he was every morning… but before he could be buried in his thoughts a thud brought back to life.
      He saw Tony’s truck outside, and remember that Drake had a party last night. Frank found it easy, too easy, to turn a blind side to Drake’s parties. But what do you expect from a soulless creature? Frank stood up and grabbed his books, took one last look in the mirror and left.

Bullying...

Bullying is finally getting more attention, and I thought I would just post a quick post on my views of it.  It is fucking ridiculous, excuse my language, but there is no reason it should be an issue.  Parents, teachers, the adults in life need to teach children respect!  I am a victim... no I am a survivor... of bullying.  People think that verbal bullying isn't bad, sticks and stones after all.  But let me tell you, I suffered a lot from verbal bullying... if you want my story just contact me at my email sweetkcr@gmail.com or on facebook.com www.facebook.com/katherinerochholz or www.facebook.com/vampirekati (one is my author page the other is my personal) and I will be happy to share it with you.  But I just wanted to post this and say GROW UP!  Bullying messes with the heads of innocent kids making them think they are nothing, because of that some get into drugs, some even kill themselves, some do both.  I want to say this my pages are safe zones for anybody, I won't tolerate intolerance... what that is a contradiction?  So be it, but if I see any intolerance on any of my pages, that person will be reported and banned.  And to those that were the bullies... did you grow up?  Do you feel bad?  First off if you feel bad... GOOD!... you deserve it... but secondly take a moment and try to contact the kids you hurt.  You can't change the past, but... trust me kind words are nice to hear... Just say sorry... the word might heal more than you know... That is my two cents you can ignore it or you can act... Only you will know what you do... You know what here is my story:

I have been bullied from day one of school.  I am not a small woman, and never was a small girl, but I am beautiful in my way, I know that now, but back then I listened to them.  I had no friends.  I had one in high school and he up and disappeared on me before our senior year.  In college I thought it would change... and it did... but I couldn't be social... I didn't learn how to be social because I was the outcast my whole life... I didn't know how to relate to people.  So again I was alone.  I grabbed onto any friendship, some were good for me, some where toxic... people used me, they didn't care about me, they used me for whatever they could gain and dumped me like a sack of trash.  It has taken me so long to get over this I am 29 years old.  I am a self published author, whose fourth book is coming out, but still any words that can be seen as hurtful or hate or anger, has me holding back tears.  I maintain a hard outside, but on the inside, I am mush.  I cry a lot... I am becoming more confident, but a single word can take that progress and dash it.  Then people will tell me it is fine, but it take me days to get over something... I use to get physically sick because of the bullying I endured... now I just break on the inside... but I still break... I have few friends... I can count the ones in my town on one hand and have fingers left over... I still can't relate to people all that well... I may never relate to a lot of people outside of my family because of the bullying I endured for so many years... I have struggled with self-esteem issues my whole life... and will continue to do so, because of the bullying I endured... I did things I am not proud of... I fell into a depression so deep I thought it would shallow me whole... and it almost did... That I won't talk about... but bullying almost took everything from me...That is the effect long term bullying can have... watch what you say... please... That is all I ask...

Here is the picture I made, please feel free to share it!

The Seven Deadlies Offical Trailer

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Something Wicked This Way Comes, is something I have said forever.... it has been come a very popular saying in recent months,I know I say it because of Macbeth by The ever famous Shakespeare, Macbeth is my favorite of his tragedies, however I also like to say "I almost biffed it" or "you totally biffed it."  What would we done without Back to the Future giving us that lovely every day sentence????  Anyways there are a lot of things I say and it is amazing to find people who say the same things... 

Anyways Working hard on the edits for The Seven Deadlies!  That will be out on Halloween Look for it soon!!!!!

 

Becoming (Lynnie Russell Trilogy #1) by R.M. Gilmore Review

Becoming by R.M. Gilmore

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I love Lynnie, there were parts of the story that felt rushed, but I for one cannot wait for the next installment!  It takes you on a ride into a new world.  It did drag a bit in parts, but in the end it is a great short read that you can read in one sitting on a lazy afternoon, and be really happy, that you choose this book to spend your precious time reading this story.  But a word of warning the only disappointing aspect is that the next part isn't out yet!!!!  It will leave you wanting more!

The Scene By R.M. Gilmore Review

The Scene by R.M. Gilmore

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I bought this book from the author before ever reading it, I wanted it in paperback and after hearing how good it was I couldn't wait!  I wasn't disappointed!  The author does take a bit of time to get to the 'juicy' parts, for a lack of a better word, but it is totally worth the time to read this book from start to finish!  Dylan is a character you can relate to!  There is so much that is great about this book! But I don't want to spoiler anything!  But I will say this: If you have been disappointed in the mass number of vampire books on the market today (which I have been) this book will not disappoint you!  I loved the characters, the action, the scenes, I found myself watching Dylan's world play out in my head, and wishing I was there!  Grab this book, it won't disappoint!
