Home....again.

I'm home from vacation! That was the last of vacations and camps until next year.

Also, while I was there, I wrote feverishly so I could write that first kiss while on vacay. And I did!! *YIPPEE* And, I finished it on the last day, which was a very romantic like day. There were couples on the doc, holding hands. It was really sweet. <3

But the bad news is, I was sick all on vacation. I had a bad cold. And I'm still not over it yet. (I blame camp). Which is just like last vacation we went on. I got everyone else sick too. Which happened again this time. :p

BUT, vacation was still fun. And I didn't want to leave. Also, here's a song from my WIP playlist for you guys. (I'm planning on sharing this story with you guys very soon!)

This song is like the main theme, so it's a major spoiler. ;)

And check up on the FB page for pics of SF at Lakeside! My nana is a great photographer. ;)
(here's a sneak peek to the photos!
A little sneak peek at the Lakeside pics! SF is enjoying some ice cold water. But it just can't decide what to eat...)

I'M BACK!

I'm back from another summer camp!!!! It was hot, but fun. (most of the time. ;))

I met a little girl who's been writing since she was 5 and she really wants to get her book published. It was so neat to see her going after her dream. :) <3

I'm glad to be back! I will be leaving for vacay tomorrow evening, but I'm looking forward to writing and reading by the lake. <3

Camp and Vacay

Hey peeps! As I type this, I am getting ready to head out for camp for 3 days. (but my mom is going to let me use her 4G internet so I can get on FB and Twitter in the evenings. ;))

I'm going to camp to be a helper for my sister's cabin, along with my mom. So if you could pray for patience, and that no one gets hurt, or the heats too much, I would love that. :)

I'll be getting back on Friday afternoon, and then I'll be leaving on Saturday for vacation!! I'll be at Lake Erie for a week, it's going to be awesome. :D I'm looking forward to writing and reading by the lake and in the sunshine!

Well, I'll be back on Friday!! <3 you guys!

*Fangirled*

Ok so...I just read the MS of an author friend of mine, and well...it was awesome.

And I think that you should check it out. It hasn't come out yet, but...it has a Goodreads page...which I made for her.

Link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15773260-breaking-shadows

Annnnnd....the awesome cover!!


And summary:

"Jesse and her older brother, Ben, rebuilt the Resnik army after it was nearly wiped out in an ambush 8 years ago. Building this army upon the values of friendship, chivalry, and brotherhood, they believe they hold the key to unlocking the long-lost life of the American Dream. Now, having nearly reached it's previous height of glory, they wait with bated breath for their chance to change the future of the country. But with the army hot on their tail, undercovers everywhere, and danger around each turn, can they really launch an attack that would turn the tide of the battle for the American Dream?"

Awesome right??

Don't worry, I'll be keeping update on the news of Breaking Shadows: Bold in the future. ;)

There, me *fangirling*. I hope you enjoyed it. hehe

Old Title and Cover of SHADOW FUTURE

Ok....you guys all voted. And the majority wanted to know about the old title and cover of Shadow Future.

So......

At first.....Shadow Future had 2 title before SF,

The first title was:

Two Rings. (for those you have read it, will know what this means, and it's also the series name!)

And here's what the cover was:


Pretty right?? But the problem was....one of my editors said the title didn't fit. So...I changed it again.

To....Dark Future.

Here's the cover for that:


(there were several others, but I'm just going to show you this one. ;))

And then finally...Shadow Future. And it just fit. :)
