Title: The Hysterics

hysterics

Synopsis:

Once upon a time, I was Fallon Dunbar.

Rock and roll, drugs, and bad decisions were the life I lived.

I’d fallen so deep into the dark rabbit hole that I was certain I would never make it out alive. People like me didn’t get second chances. People like me didn’t get lifted from the darkness. So when the opportunity showed up, I had to take it.

I walked away from everything I loved, everything that was killing me, and I became Fae Dunham. After that, I hid behind makeup, long sleeves, and a closed-off heart.

All was well until I met Dane Pearson. He wasn’t convinced of the new me, and whenever he was near, I felt like the old me, the real me, filled with passion and a love for music. Every day was a struggle of self-discovery. Every day was a fight to not fall back down the rabbit hole. And every day, somehow, someway, I slowly began to discover what it meant to find myself.

It was a hysteric ride, but it was ours. And I wouldn’t change a thing.​

Excerpt:

 

I was Fallon Dunbar.

I was a drummer.

 

I was confident, strong, and driven.

 

I was a junkie.

 

I am dead.

The full boxes scattered around my small one room apartment made it feel more real. The sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach made it feel so wrong. The new title and job made it feel surreal.

 

I am Fae Dunham.

 

I am the assistant editor of Raging Underground.

 

I am unsure, nervous, and scared shitless.

 

I am in recovery.

Staring into the full length mirror I had just hung up on the back of the door in my new room, I saw the shell of what I used to be, the life I could no longer have. The only traces left of my old life were the lip piercings I refused to take out. They were my favorites and they were staying. People like me don’t get second chances, but for some reason, I was standing knee-deep in one.

 

There’s no turning back now.

 

I will live again.

REVIEW

Freaking adorable

This prequel left me thirsty for more. I cannot wait until Ella releases the full book. The very last scene had me laughing out loud. Freak is freaking adorable in his quirky way and Chelsea is a lucky girl to play with him in the broom closet. I think this is your best book yet. I cannot wait until it is released

Thank you Ella

About the author

Joy Eileen is a born bibliophile who becomes deeply engaged with her characters, and has devoured more books than she would like to admit. She becomes obsessed with happily-ever-afters, and will read any genre that fulfills that requirement. Evading the library is something she has been known to do, because after befriending the characters returning them would be a heartbreaking event. Books are held hostage on her bookshelf, and any author that makes her ugly cry becomes her sworn enemy. Nicholas Sparks is one of the many on the list of villains.

As a massage therapist, most of Joy’s stories come to her while working. With the sound of classical music, and snoring from a half covered hostage, characters are created. The victim (massage patient)  has no idea that while their body is being manipulated, Joy has traveled into distant lands creating landscapes and inhabitants as she goes. Her patients should be wary as sometimes they are pulled into her stories and turned into characters. Hero or Foe? Well, that depends on how they tip.

In all honesty, I’m not sure what compels me to write. When I was little I would get in trouble for scribbling in the dark when I should have been sleeping. I wish I could say, I have come a long way from when I was little. Scribbling genius quotes in the dead of night only to wake up to pure nonsense in the morning, but that would be a lie. Characters, situations, lyrics, and other odd things would crash into me. The only way to get rid of them was to write them down giving the thought the attention it demanded.

Some of my love of writing comes from my love of reading. My favorite thing is to become immersed in a book. My eyes may not thank me for it, and punish me…

I hugged Lzzy Hale

Posted: June 15, 2015 in Uncategorized

If you have read my posts you all know how much I adore Halestorm. Seriously, favorite band.

image

Last Friday I saw them for the second time. I made JM go with me so he could keep me from embarrassing myself (he did not do his job very well)

image

So the first bands Royal Thunder was good, the guitar player is super yummy and the lead singer has some pipes.

image

Yeah, I have a thing for beards.
The next band Rival Son’s were really good too. The lead singer wiggled his way into my heart when he took off his shoes when he overheated on stage. Barefoot girl all the way. I do not wear shoes ever. I am known as the barefoot massage therapist.

image

When the openers finished I started jumping. I may have bruised JM because I kept punching him in the arm screaming” I’m in the same building as Lzzy fucking Hale”
So the band comes out. I love them all. Lzzy, Joe, Josh, and Arejay. There is something about this band that makes me happy. I sang screamed and jumped the whole show. They are amazing. I wish I could describe my love for this band. So the set ends they were phenomenal.
In the parking lot we say in the Highlander (William Wallace) because it was crazy insane. I asked JM if he would take me over to the tour buses to take a picture. JM being the awesome guy he is took me. So here I am standing at this fence it the back of the Grove ibn Anaheim taking bus pictures. I ditched my shoes and was in my socks.

image

So I look over and Joe and Josh are on the patio drinking. I freaked out. When I pointed them out people started talking. They didn’t recognize them. I was like “seriously people? Did you not go to the same show?” JM explained some people don’t love the band like I do (whatever)
So after awhile taking to the people at the fence and staring at Joe and Josh I turned to tell JM I was ready to leave. I’m not the type of person to get starstruck. I’ve massaged moviestars I don’t go crazy.(like I said there is something about this band. I can’t think of anyone I would geek out on except Lzzy)
While we are turning to leave some dude comes out to tell us Lzzy is coming to the fence.
I panicked. I love her so much I couldn’t handle it.
I told JM let’s go
I was facing him not the fence
He tells me “Joy, Lzzy’s coming”
Me..”I know let’s go. I can’t meet her.”
JM…”no, Lzzy is coming”
Me.. “I know let’s go”
JM.. “turn around”
I do. Lzzy is walking straight toward me. I freak out. A 33 year old women geeked the fuck out.
She was sick so she couldn’t talk (she actually cancelled her next couple performances)
She walks up to me and I look at her and say
“I love you!”  (Yes, I made a damn foo of.myself. Wait it gets worse)
JM tells her “she’s probably your biggest fan”
I stare at Lzzy and say
“No, I love you. I wrote a book, and mentioned your music”
Lzzy whispers “WOW”
What do I do!  I verbally vomit on her.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything to violate copyright laws. You don’t have to sue me….” I was screaming in my head (shut up Joy)
She laughed. I look at her.
“can I hug you?”

image

She shook her head yes. JM didn’t get it, but it happened. (Fucking JM)
So the bodyguard dude said she needed to move on.
Lzzy steps like six inches away to the next person.
I look at JM
“Did I just hug Lzzy”
JM…”yes”
Me..”holy fuck”
JM…you’re not going to pass out are you?”
Me…”maybe”
Lzzy looked at me and laughed. I told her I loved her one more time, and she walked down the fence, sick, and greeted everyone there. She was nice. Yay! I picked right.
Arejay came out, but was wrapped up on his wife Jesse.
On the way home I asked JM why he didn’t stop me from geeking out.
JM…you were too far gone. Once you started there was no stopping you.
Me…why didn’t you get more pictures?
JM…I kind of geeked out with you. I have never ever seen you like that. I was so happy for you, I kind of geeked on you.
So that was my night. Lzzy is incredible. Halestorm is amazing. Seriously, check them out.
Here is a link to my first time seeing them.
