Hey everyone! Since the last book tag went well, I decided to do another! I found this one on abooknation's blog, and it seems fun and unique. So, here we go! 1. How many books are too many in a series? Depends on the series. For example, The Mortal Instruments was well written and I've … Continue reading 20 Questions Book Tag

The storm lit up the clouds. The dark blue sky turned into a musky light gray. Light strikes reached from the left to the right like tree branches. But then another strike would grow out smaller, barely reaching out, after that big moment. That last strike is me.
For your new literary agent
When searching for a literary agent, some people think about only their query letter. But usually agents ask for more.

Ads around the world
Advertisements can be weird depending on where you’re from. I visited London recently and noticed how they advertise arts more than I’m used to in southern America.

Book review – To Be or Not To Be: A Chooseable-Path Adventure (Spoiler Free)

Why, you’d have to be literally crazy to write a story where you journey to England, get attacked by pirates — … Continue reading Book review – To Be or Not To Be: A Chooseable-Path Adventure (Spoiler Free)
