Now that she’s headed off to college in the fall, it’s her last chance to be a Youth National Champion, and she won’t let anything distract her from that dream. Except maybe Chase, the older brother of Abigail's biggest rival. He’s charming, funny, and possibly Abigail's biggest problem.

Stones of Power: The Exile

Image
I recently met a new blogger who has an awesome book out which you should all look into. It's Called Stones of Power: The Exile. Isn't this cover cool? I really like the detail of the creepy guy at the top *chills* Here's the blurb: In a world where each person is born with a magic ability, the island of Denall is on the verge of an attack from a power hungry sorcerer, Mordyar, as he scours the world in search of the S tones of P ower.  While the s tones are gathering and their power begins to be revealed, four boys leave their village on a rite of passage into adulthood and are swept into an adventure that will make men and heroes of them, if they can survive. Buy it on Amazon ! Here's more about Eric . I assure you, he's awesome. Eric Buffington was born in Ontario Canada, where he lived until he was eighteen. After that point he traveled with a Canadian government program, for one year, then moved to California to serve a two year mission working...

IWSG: The Truth is...

Image
It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for another round of the Insecure Writer's Support Group hosted by the amazing Alex J. Cavanaugh ! Okay guys, it's time I tell you the truth. The truth is... I struggle. Ha, you guys already knew that! This is IWSG after all. Am I good enough? Will I ever write the way I want to? Will I ever sell books the way I want to? That unknown future is a frightening thing. Even more than that, you never know how you'll be received by strangers. Of course, this business is so subjective, not everyone's going to love you, that's a guarantee. Still, it doesn't stop me from wondering. Can I do it? Will I be good enough? It won't stop writing, it's my passion, but I can't help pondering upon my skills. Am I'm really cut out for how many hours I put in? The truth is, I'm always going to be insecure. The truth is, I'll question my work. But the truth is, I wouldn't change a thing if I h...
