**SOA SPOILERS IN THIS PARAGRAPH. IF YOU AREN'T PAST SEASON FOUR, SKIP IT**<br />

Remember that icky feeling I talked about when Jax cheats on Tara? I forgot about the episode where Opie finds out about the birth control and sleeps with the same porn star bitch as Jax. That's as close as we get to a Jax/Opie sandwich in the series, but now I'm angry with them both. And the part where Jax kisses Ima and we think they're going to hook up again, only he smashes her face into a mirror instead? It was so ugly that I wanted to look away. The guys in my MC series would never hit a woman for any reason. I think this was the first real glimpse of the monster Jax becomes by the end of the series. Just yuck. Then I had to re-live the whole mess with Juice being forced by that asshole FBI agent and trying to kill himself...it was just sickening to watch again. I'm ready to curl up into a ball and watch the first season on repeat.<br />

Hopefully it'll be released later this month. When I chose the name of the title I knew it was a little goofy, but honestly it sounded like something Harley would say. So she does say it. In the book. And for anyone who hasn't read the <i>Inferno Glory MC</i> series, Jawa was the heroine's dad who died of cancer while she was in prison. And for anyone wondering, "Jawa" is the term for an Army Soldier who is stationed in a desert area, named after the desert-dwelling aliens of <i>Star Wars</i>. I'm throwing out a few teasers, one that explains Harley's club and one told from Ranger's POV. He was so much fun to write that I hope to continue his story throughout the entire Jawa's Angels MC series.<br />

Other than torturing myself with some of the hardest episodes of <i>Sons</i> ever written and writing about my own MC, I'm working on a psychological thriller called <i>The Missing Ones</i> (cover reveal coming real soon). Last night I had a dream my daughter's boyfriend was in the story and I found out he was killing small children and eating them. SERIOUSLY. When do writers get a break from their own fucking heads? At this point I'm almost thankful for having active high schoolers and a farmer husband who needs me to run odd errands. And I'm finally understanding why authors are always associated with alcohol.

Yeah, I might have a problem. I keep running across these AMAZING gifs from <i>Sons</i> when I should be working and <b>my god</b> can someone please give this man an Emmy for delivering the most believable/spankable sex scene?? I'm trying to figure out who he's with, although I probably really don't want to know. The romantic in me gets so pissed every time he steps out on Tara that it makes me physically ill. And I'm incredibly annoyed that someone had the audacity to black out Charlie's beautiful ass. We're all adults here (if you <i>aren't</i> you really shouldn't be reading this blog).</div>

<br />
Speaking of addictions (I have an OCD/ADD personality so I tend to have a shit-ton of them), I came across the song for the <i>Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation</i> trailer and CANNOT. STOP. LISTENING. It's so deliciously twisted that it makes me want to write something <i>sick</i>. (Take a listen below). I've written some dark paranormal under another pen name and started an adult thriller a few months back. If I ever get through the last <i>Fifty Kinds of Dead</i> and <i>Jawa's Angels </i>(Ranger is taking his sweet time in the spotlight), maybe I'll have to revive the thriller. I have so many projects on the back burner it isn't funny. Okay, maybe a little because if I think about it seriously I'll start to wonder if I'm truly bat-shit crazy.<br />
<br />
Being hooked on these kinds of things isn't all that bad, right? At least I keep telling my husband that. It could be so much worse - I could be addicted to crack or have serious mental health issues <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/mrloganrhoades/23-unforgettable-moments-from-my-strange-addiction#.lip8rz64A6" target="_blank">like these people from <i>My Strange Addiction</i></a>.<br />

If you need me, I'll be perusing <a href="http://www.instagram.com/authorjafredericks" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/authorjafred" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> to feed my ten million other addictions.<br />

Holy Lord. In doing research as I'm re-watching <i>Sons of Anarchy</i> (hot damn, I love my job), I came across the mother of all gifs that made me think of all the intense scenes between Ranger, Colt, and Harley. I literally think I was staring at this gem for an hour. Okay maybe two. Can we just...</div>

Wait. What was I saying?<br />
<br />
Anyway...so I mentioned I'm continuing Ranger's story in <i>Jawa's Angels MC</i> the spinoff to <i>Inferno Glory MC</i> (I keep losing my train of thought...*fucking focus!*). Ranger is far more of a complex character than I first envisioned and the book will probably end up being a little bit longer than I planned. Writing from his POV in alternating chapters has been a total riot and I never want it to end. I know he has some pretty die-hard fans out there that will feel the same.<br />

I recently opened up my street team to ALL fans, so if you want to join in for more Colt & Ranger love, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/JADarlins/" target="_blank">send a request to join us on Facebook</a>. My darlin's (yes I realize there are issues with the ' when I'm not using the 'g' and it's possessive, but it just looks funny so get over it) are a fun bunch and I randomly like to give shit away because they're so awesome.<br />

Okay that's it for now...at least I think. My mind is a befuddled mess all because of a hug. Gotta run, Ranger is waiting.

The first book in <i>Jawa's Angels </i>(Inferno Glory MC spinoff) is coming real soon and I recently revealed the first cover. Love it, touch it, make it your pet, whatever floats your boat.

Oh, and you'll hear finally hear Ranger's POV in <i>Beauty & Balls</i>, so have an extra set of <strike>panties</strike> (I hate that damn word) underwear ready.<br />
<br />
<i>Brooklyn Rockstar</i>, a full length steamy romance about a famous rocker and a clueless farmer's daughter, is also in the works, but I have no fucking clue when it will be ready. Like I said, this has been an insane summer and I'm just hoping things slow down or I'll be hibernating by first snowfall. If you're a blogger a) I love you and b) you can help me share the cover reveal on October 1st by filling out <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Z5ofLA5SPCQ85Lq4LKLkc305Z6Fcz2nRUh3Lb-BoSZs/viewform?usp=send_form#start=invite" target="_blank">this form</a>.<br />
