My Books: Elemental

Elemental is about a girl named Lexi. Everyone at her school can control one of the eight elements (fire, water, earth, air, spirit, electricity, light, dark) and they are sorted into houses according to their element. Lexi is a bit different though; she controls an element that no one has seen for thousands of years. Unfortunately, while returning from a vacation with her parents, Lexi's plane crashes and she loses both her family and her memory. She doesn't remember her powers, her friends, or even her own name. After her friends tell her who and what she is, she struggles to recall her lost past and the hidden element within her. But on her quest to find herself she may end up getting more than she bargained for.

My Books: Drained

Drained is the sequel to Jackie. I actually started writing Drained before Jackie, but I decided that I couldn't fit Julien and Heron's past and Drained into one book. The story of the Foxe brothers was too important to cut out completely so I started writing Jackie.

Drained begins about twenty years after Jackie ends. Jackie has been forced to move to America to live with her mentor Madeline. She's at a new school, she's learning more about her powers, and she has a new boyfriend. Things aren't as perfect as they seem though; Jackie still misses Julien, she's being stalked by a dark, power-draining force, and there's something strange about the new guy at school. This time it's up to Jackie to set things right.

The New Sloan

When I started writing The Last Chapter (a.k.a. Book 4) Sloan had blonde hair and she was an only child. Then Avery came along and became Sloan's little sister. Avery was the warm to Sloan's cold, the good to her evil, the light to her dark. They were opposites in almost every way. After Avery and Sloan became sisters I discovered their dark past full of betrayal, abuse, drugs, and evil. I saw Sloan in a whole different light, or rather lack of light, and her appearance changed to reflect her inner darkness. Her hair was black, her eyes cold and gray, her face thin and pale.

Even though I liked this dark new Sloan, I still missed the old Sloan. Then one day I was on Deviant Art and I found this:

I knew the second I saw it that I had finally found Sloan, the way she was supposed to be. Still dark and mysterious, still cruel and icy, Sloan had returned to way I'd originally imagined her. I quickly remade all of my other Sloan pictures, and I'll post them alongside the old ones.

Also, in case you missed it, here's the MyDivaDoll version of Sloan.

My Books: Jackie

Here is the first of the book updates. I'll probably post another one later tonight.

Jackie was actually one of my original books, but when I started this blog it didn't have a solid plotline, just a few assorted scenes. Jackie is split into two parts; part one is told by Julien Foxe, a psychic vampire. It's about him and his brother Heron, and their witch friend Serifina. The Witch Council has been killing psychic vampires for centuries because they're to "dangerous", but Serifina is determined to protect her friends no matter what the cost. When the worst happens, Heron and Julien are forced to face the consequences of their actions. Part two is told by Jaclyn, more commonly known as Jackie, a young witch living in Australia. When Jackie meets the Foxe brothers they reveal a startling secret about her past and the trio must confront the Witch Council to discover the truth.

My Books Update

Hey everyone! I'm back! Who missed me? Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been on for a while. I've been crazy busy for the past few months. I recently realized that I haven't done a My Books post for almost half of my books. Over the next week or so I'm going to try and finish updating everyone on my new books. I'm going to warn you now, exams start next week, so I may or may not have time to write them all. I'll do my best though!

Keep checking back for the new posts!

Dream Scenes: Secrets

A chill ran through me as I drove through the woods to the beach house. I could feel their glowing eyes staring at me from between the trees. They'd been watching me all my life, which is why I'd started calling them the Watchers, but lately there had been more of them then usual. They'd never come close enough for me to see them until they attacked me today. I could still see the pointed teeth and fiery eyes in my mind.

I breathed a sigh of relief as the beach house came into view, but my relief quickly ended when I saw Teresa sitting on the steps of the front porch with her head in her hands. The truck had barely come to a full stop when I was running to her side. She looked up at me through tear filled eyes and said only two words.

"He's gone."

I didn't hear myself cry out in anguish as I ran for his room, hoping he would be sitting there lost in his own world like usual. Instead I was greeted by an empty room. I looked at the unmade bed, the clothes-strewn floor, the dusty window, and everything seemed to scream Brandon. On his nightstand was a picture I had taken three years ago of the two of us on our first date. Our smiles were hidden by a web of broken glass.

Next to the picture was his journal; an old black leather book given to him by his father before he died. The journal lay open, the page covered in a messy scrawl that was nothing like his usually neat writing. I picked up the journal and sat on his bed. A cool breeze drifted into the room and I pulled on one of Brandon's sweaters as I flipped through the pages. I saw my name and stopped to take a breath before reading.

April 17

Things are starting to change. Paige is starting to change, although she doesn't realize it. She doesn't know who she is, or who I am, or what's about to happen. I'm starting to change too. Soon I'll have the power to fulfill my purpose. Cameron is excited and eager, but I can tell that mom doesn't share the feeling. She's scared, but whether she's scared for me or of me I can't tell.

The next few entries were the same, talking about changes and things starting to happen. None of it made much sense to me. He kept writing about gaining power and fulfilling his purpose. I found my name in several entries, often accompanied with talk of me changing and my destiny. It seemed important, but I couldn't make sense of it. Then I reached the latest entry.

May 3

It's happening. I can feel the power in my blood growing to unimaginable levels. Everything is clear, everything is new, everything is right. Now I know what Cameron has felt for the past five years, and I can see why he loves being what we are. Still, I don't know if I can do what I must do. Although I'm no longer human, I'm still in love with her, with Paige. If I turn my back on my purpose, I'm turning my back on everything I've ever known. Is she worth it? Will I have the strength to finally tell her the truth? No matter what the answer, I have to leave her for a while. It's the only way to save her.

I will save her.

I traced my fingers over those last four words as chills again ran down my spine. I will save her. What did it mean? Brandon was hiding something from me, and I had to know what. I had to find him and convince him to tell me the truth. Something was going on and I needed to know what.

"What are you doing?"

My head snapped up and I saw Cameron standing in the doorway. Normally he was happy and carefree, but today there was something about him that terrified me. I watched his eyes darken as he saw the journal in my hands.

"You shouldn't be looking at that."

When I didn't reply his eyes darkened further and I stood up, looking around me for some sort of escape.

"What did you read?" he asked in a low, dangerous voice.

"N-nothing!" I stammered.

"What did you read?" he asked louder, taking a step towards me.

His lips had pulled back in an animalistic snarl, his eyes glowing like the ones that had followed me in the woods. Without thinking I ran, darting around him out the door, through the house, and into the forest.

The trees seemed to reach out in a desperate attempt to trip me. Small twigs and branches tore at my skin. They didn't deter Cameron though, because I could hear his footsteps getting closer. The sun had set and everything was dark and frightening. My mind was void of rational thoughts, focused only on my primal instinct to survive. I ran faster than I ever had before, until I felt arms wrap around me and pull me to a stop.

I screamed and struggled until I realized my captor wasn't Cameron. The grip loosened and I turned to look into Brandon's blue eyes. For a moment I was stunned by how bright they were, but then I remembered what I had read and took a step back.

"What's wrong?" Brandon asked, his voice a mix of confusion and worry as he noticed the scratches that covered me. "What happened?"

Before I could answer Cameron appeared out of the darkness and leaped for me. Brandon quickly pushed me out of the way. As I fell to the forest floor I watched Cameron land as gracefully as a cat, and saw blood drip from the cut that had appeared on Brandon's forehead.

Then I hit the ground, my head snapping back against a tree. I tried to get up to make sure Brandon was okay, but I couldn't make my limbs move. Fog clouded my vision, and I could barely hear muffled voices through the haze. My last thought was: Save me.

Dream Scenes: Tiger Lily

My dreams are usually pretty crazy, but every now and then I have one that actually makes sense. Sometimes I try to turn them into scenes for my books, but they don't always work out. Unfortunately, they get stuck in my head until I turn them into a scene, so I decided to post the reject scenes here for your enjoyment.


Laughter and voices filled the air as I walked past the playground. I'd been stuck inside all day yesterday,and although I had a project due on Monday I hadn't been able to resist the beautiful weather. It was a perfect spring day and I intended to enjoy it.

As I stopped to admire some wildflowers I felt something wrap around my legs. Looking down in surprise I saw a young girl, about three years old, smiling up at me. She had beautiful black hair, but it was her eyes that stunned me most. They were an amazing green-gold colour, like a wild-cat's.

"Tiger!" the girl said, seeming to read my mind. "Rawr!"

"Lily!" a woman said, approaching us, "There you are!"

The woman picked up the little girl, Lily, and smiled at me.

"Thank you for finding her. She doesn't usually run off like that." the woman explained, "I'm Sandra."

"I'm Winter Langford. Most people call me Winnie though. It's nice to meet you."

I shook Sandra's slender hand. Like Lily, she had dark hair, but her eyes were light grey. Still, she was very beautiful, and she seemed kind. We chatted for a few moments and she introduced me to her husband, Jackson. He was tall and well built, with fair hair and blue eyes. He smiled and thanked me again for finding Lily, although it was her who'd found me.

"She doesn't usually take to people so quickly." he commented, "She must really like you."

"Winnie, we've been looking for a babysitter." Sandra said, "Would you be interested? Lily already seems to love you."

"Sure, I'd love to!" I agreed, pulling a scrap of paper and pen out of my pocket. "Here's my number. Just call whenever you need me."

"Are you free on Tuesday?" Jackson asked, "We have a business dinner to attend."

"I'll be there. I've got to go now, but I'll see you on Tuesday!"

"Thank you." Sandra smiled, "It was a pleasure to meet you."

"You too. See you on Tuesday Lily!"

She waved at me happily, and I laughed. She was so adorable. I could barely wait to see her again. Good thing I didn't have to wait long!


I hope you liked it! I might continue writing, because I have some great ideas for this. You'll have to wait and see!

Laterz!

MyYearbook

If you've ever heard of MyYearbook, you'll know that it's a bit like Facebook. I thought it would be fun to make accounts on MyYearbook for some of my characters. I just made Jennifer's, and I'll be working on another one soon. The link is in the sidebar.

In other news, I'm going to try and write some of the posts on the Coming Soon list. Sorry it's taking so long. In the meantime, I've started a new blog to review books I've read. It's called (Insert Blog Name Here). As you can tell, I'm not good at naming things.

That's all for now!
Laterz!

Glogster

Not to long ago I did a post on the characters in Book 4, which is now called The Last Chapter. I have now turned this post into a glog. For those of you who don't know, a glog is made on the site Glogster, and is like an online poster. Check it out here.

I also made a glog of the character video for A New Beginning. Check it out here.
