Logged on to blogger to post a new blog and found the layout all funky... forgive this sad little post as I try to figure out how to use this new layout.

Anyways. The news of the day is that I have a study now. As in an entire room for nothing but my writing (and homework...) to be done in. It's pretty much amazing. I've been wanting one for a while, then the sister moved out and we sold the extra bed and VOILA! Another room for me.

Aside from that, just a couple more weeks until school is out for summer vacation. And I'm not going back in the fall, so I get a super long break. I need it. I'm burned out, guys. From writing and thinking and studying and working and not sleeping. Burned. Out. But hopefully that will all change with weekends on the beach and not working as much. And maybe this summer will hold a "yes" from an agent? Or maybe not. Either way, it'll be great. Especially if I manage to take a trip to California to see my best friend in the universe :)

And with that I shall leave. I may add to my projects pages or something a bit later. I may say screw everything for tonight and go cuddle on my couch with my dogs and a Justin Timberlake movie. Who knows. Au revoir.

Knight's End on amazon Kindle

Yup, you heard right! My novel, Knight's End, is officially a Kindle ebook! And to make things even better, it's only five dollars!

I don't think I've quite gotten over the shock of going to the Kindle store, typing in Knight's End, and having my book pop up. It's one of those things that you stare at for a while thinking it's going to disappear. But it's not!

So, what exactly is Knight's End? It's a love story. An action and adventure story. A story of betrayal, denial, and hopeless abandon. It's a story about a knight who leaves everything behind to find justice after being accused of a crime he did not commit, and the princess he meets who will change his world forever. Here's what some people are saying about the novel:

HarperTeen Editor:

Your world is carefully considered, your characters are vivid, your writing is rich with detail, and you give readers a huge gift even before the book properly opens, creating a situation—the Rogue putting the royals in the kingdom on notice—that will naturally make for a significant amount of drama and intrigue in the ensuing pages. For a story such as this, with so many players, so many agendas, and so many plotlines, having a thread that ties them all together is an ingenious and satisfying way to pulling things together and keeping them moving. For this reason, the first portion of this manuscript flew by, for this reader.

Nickname from inkpop:
Seeing as I don’t normally read books that take place in this time period, this was definitely a nice introduction to such a book for me. Your writing is very clean and well-worded.  

Kay from inkpop:
This was fantastic, your description, your characters. I like the plot line so far and will most likely read on. 

Inita Grace: 
I finally finished reading I have one thing to say: You, my friend, are evil. That cliffhanger...I want to break down in tears. What's gonna happen?!?!? 

Fenris Wolf from inkpop:
Wonderful job on being historically accurate, it take a lot of hard work and research to make a book that good. You have yourself a very good editor! I did not notice a single mistake. The character descriptions are also well done, I could vividly imagine each character .


That's just a few short little pieces of critiques I received for Knight's End. And now, the link :D 


I'd like to say thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who has supported me and helped me to make it this far. Without readers and friends and editors and my wonderful friend who made my cover, Knight's End would still just be an idea sitting on my laptop, never really having a purpose. Aston and Jade would be words on a page and not people in hearts across the globe. So thank you. With all of my heart.
