*Update on Testing Fate*

              The first book of The Moon Seeker's Series WILL NOT be released in February 2013.

      I have changed the release date on here, on amazon.com, in 'Til Death Do Us Part (because I had a release date and a three chapter preview in 'Til Death Do Us Part), and on Goodreads.com.

      I am very sorry for the last minute change. The new release date will be in February 2014 instead. (February 2014 was the original release date, however I pushed it forward because I was making great progress on writing it.)
     


Let's Recap:

April 10, 2013- The Secret Vows (The Fearless Series #2) is released!

November 28, 2013- [title to be announced] (The Fearless Series #3) is released!

February 2014- Testing Fate (The Moon Seeker's Series #1) is released!


I'm sorry guys, for the change. I hope y'all understand.

It's Almost Christmas!

      Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I get to see family members that I never usually get to see, and I get to help cook the biggest feast of the year! (Not to mention that I don't mind getting some presents...)
      But seeing family means a lot to me, and barely any of them know that I published my first book.
      Fingers crossed that they all like the news!

      This week at school is 'Spirit Week'. Every day leading up to the last day of school before winter break, there are dress up days and different events that give some 'friendly' competition amongst 6th-12th graders.
      The last day of school before break is the big Pep Rally that ends with twenty events, that gets every grade cheering on the bleachers. Each grade gets assigned their own color. My grade (11th grade) was assigned red. So we made customized t-shirts, socks, ribbons, and we're paining out faces red. This should be interesting...

      Here's some book news!

      I've been working on the second installment of the Fearless Series; The Secret Vows! I'm only on page 67 so far, but considering it's not coming out until April, I'd say I'm making good time. My goal is to get at least 80 pages written by the end of this month.
      I'm also looking to get my first book in the Moon Seeker's Series-Testing Fate finished writing by the end of this month. I'm aiming around 250 pages, and I'm on page 146 now. I need to start working on that again that way I'm not cutting my time short. But The Secret Vows is consuming me right now! I'm so full of ideas that I'm dying to write down and make alive! It's really hard to not write when I've got ideas that need to be written down.
      But I'm working my very best on getting both goals set at the end of the month.

      -Until my next post,
               Kisses.

Just trudging along...

      To me, the most important thing about writing is feeling involved in the book. If you don't feel connected to the characters, then it's not a strong enough plot line. In 'Til Death Do Us Part, the relationship between Lucas and Mary Jane was strong enough for me to feel. I knew the hardships between the two characters was ratable enough for me to feel for.
      In Testing Fate (the first book in my second series) the love triangle between Anastasia, Elijah, and Alexander is soo powerful I felt like crying when Anastasia cried! That's the kind of feeling I want when I read a book. [s] I want to be part of the book that I'm reading.
      Now I'm working on three projects, and I'm getting three types of emotions when I write about the adventures all my characters go through. I've been continuing Testing Fate, which is my next book to come out, as well as continuing the second book in The Fearless Series (which is the second book after 'Til Death Do Us Part) and I've also been working on the first book in my third series; Shattered.
      I don't know how I do it, but I've been dealing with it pretty well (even though I do mix up the characters once in awhile. I don't recommend writing three different books.)
      Anyways, so I've been pretty busy. I NEED to focus more on school, because my grades haven't been the best recently. I'm passing everything, don't get me wrong, but they need to me higher. So I might take some time off to focus on raising my grades. School comes first, no matter how much not writing kills me.
      I suppose I should go now and study for my Government test...

Time To Get Serious...

     It's time that we had a little... talk. A little heart to heart. I need to get serious about something that I hold very close to me....


      I have an... addiction. A writing addiction. (And a slight muffin addiction, but that's beside the point right now. I might touch base on that a little later.) Back to the point, though. Writing is something that I cannot get enough of. After I finished writing 'Til Death Do Us Part, I planned on stopping writing to focus on school and selling books. However that didn't happen.
       Almost immediately after I published 'Til Death Do Us Part, I began a new book. I was going to step away from the computer and just focus on school, but I couldn't do it. Technology means too much to me- sadly, I think it's my life. Without my computer I couldn't publish a book. I'm perfectly fine with a pen and paper, but the 'rush' isn't the same.
        Writing is something that I relate to. It's the only way I can express myself. Having adventures I usually wouldn't makes me exited to see where I wind up. (Metaphorically speaking. I'll obviously always be sitting in front of the computer screen. I wouldn't technically 'wind up' anywhere except on my butt writing to you guys. Again, not the point.) ANYWAYS, I find myself always coming back to writing. It's like my safety net. It's my only source of comfort.
          I just felt like writing to you about it.
          I might go eat a muffin now...

Update!

So I read back my last post and realized that I didn't leave any links for my book like I said. So before I forget, I'll leave both the paperback link and the Kindle Edition link right here:

Paperback version:

'Til Death Do Us Part Paperback Version

Kindle Version:

'Til Death Do Us Part Kindle Version

Okay, so that's that. :)

I've been working on my second series, and I made a few adjustments. The biggest change, was I changed the title. Originally The Moon Seeker's Series First Volume was called 'Flaming Desire' however I didn't feel a...connection with the title. So I changed it to 'Testing Fate.' It resembled it a lot better then the fist title did.

Secondly, and both changes were reflected in my book, I moved the publication date on 'Testing Fate' back a few months. It was originally set to be released in December, however I moved it back to February. I needed more time, and I didn't want to rush anything.

So I went back and changed the name and publication date in my book 'Til Death Do Us Part because I have release dates and previews for my future book series in the back of the book.

That's about it right now. Just applied for Price Chopper as a front end cashier. I need some more money, so I figured why not? I know a few people that work there that have good things to say about it, and I need the money. I just got my license so it all worked out pretty good.

The Fearless Series: Book Two + New Series

       So as I've said, 'Til Death Do Us Part is now available on amazon.com. I'll leave a link to both the paperback copy and the kindle copy at the end of this post. I am excited to say that I have sold one Kindle version of my book and one paperback copy! My goal is to sell at least four more by the middle of December. I'd set my goal a little higher, but I don't have a lot of ways to advertise it's availability as I said in my last post.
         So, hopefully, I'll sell at least four more copies by then.
         Other things I've been focusing on is my next book series. While also writing the second book of the Fearless Series, I have been in the process of writing volume one of my new series; The Moon Seekers Series. Immediately after writing 'Til Death Do Us Part I had an idea that I had to write about. From there I ended up getting 123 pages into the project. I'm so happy with what I've got so far, and I cannot wait until it's released! (I'll do a release date on all my projects when I know for sure when they are. Okay?) The first installment of the series will be over 200 hundred pages, hopefully even closer to 300. It all depends how close I cut my goal deadlines. (However I am also self-editing as I go, so I've been going from the beginning to add/remove chapters or things I feel aren't important to the plot line.
           I guess that's all for right now. I'm trying to update on everything that's been going on with my writing life the best I can. I'll have a goal-setting post soon once I think of certain dates that I feel are important to share with y'all.

          Until next time, guys!

'Til Death Do Us Part

    Here is the cover flat that my wonderful cover artist--Silviya Yordanova--made! Isn't it beautiful?

     Here are photos of the three dimensional book itself. Enjoy them! I love the book cover soo much!

The Beginning

      I never thought that I'd be a published author. I mean, I am only sixteen years old. Just a few months ago, I was a teenage girl hanging out with my friends without a care in the world. I had a job working as a dishwasher at a local restaurant, I have a hell of a good time helping out on my brothers farm, and I'm a student in high school.
      Never once did I picture being an author.
      But the experience I've had getting this far is a pretty good one. I've always loved writing. When I was younger, I wrote poems and songs most of the time. Eventually, I began writing stories. That led to writing novels, and now I'm here!
      People ask me what I want to be when I grow up. And, to be honest, I don't know. Writing is all I can picture doing with my life. It's someting that I hold close to me. So when people ask me what I want to be, I never know what to tell them. I used to picture being an elementary teacher, or a high school english teacher but I don't want to be a teacher anymore. I just want to be a writer. I just want to be a teenager.
       Where I'm at now, is where I want to be. I recently lost my job as a dishwasher, so I'm trying to relax a little before I get my license and find a new job. I'm focusing on school and my writing. I'm living life the way I want to live it. I'm enjoying myself, and the world as a published author.
       You know what?
       I think I do know what I want to be when I grow up.
       I want to be a small-town girl with a big achievment to look back at.
       I will be that girl.
