My Books: Stolen

Stolen is about four best friends/roommates, Raina, Tara, Kendra and Alicia. One weekend Raina gets stuck babysitting her little sister Chloe. Everything is going fine until Chloe goes missing. The girls get a strange ransom note, and they follow it straight to the kidnappers, Jules and Drake, who capture them. Luckily, Drake turns against Jules and rescues the girls. Then they find out that Drake is hiding something that will change their lives. Drake tells the girls that they are royalty, each the ruler of their own kingdom, and that they have powers that will determine which kingdom is theirs. He also tells them that Jules will stop at nothing to kill them so that he can take over. It's a race against time as the girls try to learn to fight and control their powers before Jules attacks.

UPDATE: Skyres managed to convince me to let her write Stolen with me, so she'll be writing Tara and Alicia. I love having Sky work with me, because while I think of the magic and fantasy, she thinks of the reality. Things such as where the girls live, what they major in (they're in university), and what their families are like never occur to me until Sky points them out.

My Books: Two Worlds

Arianna used to be normal, but not anymore. Now she's a vampire, thirsty for blood and living in the dark of the night. Although she was only turned a few years ago, she barely remembers life before the coven. Every day is a fight for her life as she avoids the sun, human detection, and the violence of the coven. She hates her life, but doesn't know any way out. Then her past comes back to haunt her, and she ends up on the run from the coven that was once her family.

Raksha has never been normal. All her life she's been a vampire, a goddess of the north, feeding on weak travelers and being worshipped by ancient tribes. She never dreamed that one day she wouldn't be able to do what she was made to do. She never thought she'd be on the run, far from where she's lived all her life.

Then the two girls paths cross, and their worlds collide. Suddenly it's hard to tell who's hunting who.


What do you think? I did it a bit differently than usual. Is it better or worse? Do you think it sounds like a good story? Leave me a comment!

Major Updates

Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for so long. Since school's started things have been kind of crazy, but I'm back now with tons of new stuff and lots of updates! There's a lot of text though, but bare with me.

First of all Switch has been cancelled. At first it seemed like a good idea, but after a while I realized that it wasn't really going anywhere. I'm really sorry to those of you who wanted to read it, but I just couldn't make it work. I really liked Channing and Demitri though, so I might use them in one of my new books.

That brings me to the next topic: New Books. There are so many of them. Skyres and I loved A New Beginning so much that we've turned it into a trilogy. We haven't come up with a name for the trilogy yet, but the individual books are A New Beginning, Just Another Ending, and Somewhere in the Middle. I'm also working on some things by myself. Two Worlds, Stolen, Defected, After Dark and Elemental are already in the works, and I'm just starting Dark Wolf and Falling. I'll post full descriptions of all these soon.

Next, I found a few new sites that I've been using to make character pictures. Skyres has helped a ton with choosing the best pictures, and I'll be posting them right after the book descriptions are done. I'm also getting ready to update my MyDivaDoll and OhMyDolls accounts, but I can't decide what characters to do. Please leave me a comment with suggestions!

I think that's all for now. I'll be back really soon, and thanks for sticking with me.

Laterz!

P.S. Check out my other blog, Completely Me! I update that a bit more often with tons of fun stuff!
