I Thought I Better Write Something

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

It's been a while since I last wrote anything, so I'm back! I haven't had much time to blog between writing/editing Forlorn and life in general. Forlorn is coming along nicely and I hope to give you all a sneak peak of my book here soon, but we will see how it goes!

Before I started going over it again, I had my mom read it. At that time, I was not happy with it and in a depressed slump that I felt there was no escaping from. It was missing stuff, but I had lost the inspiration to complete it. When my mom told me that it was a great story, but needed some work, it helped encourage me to look at it again.

I knew what it was missing too, so when I ran my ideas by her, my mom told me that those were the things she was hoping to find in Forlorn, and felt that it needed these thing to become a great book. She helped me find a new appreciation for it, and I'm a little over halfway done rewriting it now. I would still like to publish it in September, but the date may be moved to October if it takes much longer.

This new appreciation also inspired me to make a quick sketch for the story. I used only a tiny piece of lead that fell out of my mechanical pencil. Hey, I didn't want to waste it!





After sketching this, I realized that I still need to get a cover made! I made the cover art for my Witch In The Woods trilogy, but this time around I decided to ask my sister if she wanted to make the cover for Forlorn. She happily took on the challenge! My sister is an amazing artist, so I can't wait to see what she does! I hope to do a cover reveal sometime in August!

Before I go, I was asked to do an interview, on Katherine Dell's website! The link is below if you'd like to read it. Don't forget to browse the other interviews and articles on her website!

Thank you all for checking out my blog! I'll hopefully write again soon, but until then, keep on reading!

Here's The Update I Promised!

Greetings, my lovely readers!

Last week I said I had an update about my latest novel, so today I'm finally telling!

Drum roll please!

My novel, which I was originally calling 'Desolation' is now titled 'Forlorn'! But That's not the only news I have for you, so hold onto your hats! I'm planning on releasing my book in September! I am currently still editing/re-writing Forlorn, but I am working hard to get it out in time! However, this publication date isn't set in stone yet, so I'll keep you posted if there should be any changes.

Aside from that, I still need to figure out what I'm doing for a cover, whether I'll buy a pre-made one or just illustrate one myself. Whatever I decide to do, I'll will reveal the cover on here beforehand, like I did with my last two books. 

But in other news, today is Indie Pride Day! Many indie author and readers of indie books are posting pictures of themselves today with their indie books! If you're up for it, join in the fun on twitter or Facebook! Just post a picture of yourself with your favorite indie book and use the hashtags #IndieBooksBeSeen and #IndiePrideDay!




Thanks for reading everyone! Happy Indie Pride Day!
