So, I’ve done it…
I have officially edited Terra Incognita and made it a Young Adult fantasy. I know, I know... can we say "sell out!"? 😉 Heh, not really... It turned out it didn't change as much as I thought it would... I changed her age from twenty-three to seventeen (almost eighteen) and since it already had the … Continue reading So, I’ve done it…

Happy Halloween!
Autumn is my favorite season, and Halloween is (in my opinion, anyway) the most fun holiday! Both are great inspirations for my writing. And now that Halloween is here, National Novel Writing Month is one day away. I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year... for the first time... and my story will involve vampires... … Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Oh, how could I forget…
... Yet I did... I have posted most of Terra Incognita on authonomy.com and have received some feedback... some nice things really. I like that a few people seem to have enjoyed reading it and thought (if any of you were interested) you might want to take a look at it, too. I probably will … Continue reading Oh, how could I forget…
