Writing my first book

When you start your own writing, no one expects it to be easy.

But it is enjoyable.

I find myself to be proud of what I have accomplished, even if it turns out to be complete garbage- which fingers crossed it won't- but as the page amount grows, I find myself eager to reach the ending.

Because I believe that I can and I want to share my imagination with everyone.

That's what writing a book is. It's sharing a little piece of yourself with whoever reads your work. Giving themselves a glimpse of what kind of person you are.

So I find myself at a crossroads.

I want desperately to share my book with everyone, but exposing myself to the possibility of being judged and found wanting... It's quite nerve wracking.

So I cling to the hope that some might actually enjoy what I write. That thrill is what I live and continue to write for.

So maybe as things progress, I can share my work on here.

It's all about those baby steps.

PETA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals!

 

I know this isn't book related, but I received some mail through the post today from PETA describing the atrocities that are occurring in China. I almost don't want to share this as it sickened me to my core, but it has to be stopped. And the only way we can do that is by raising awareness and letting the foul acts of others been known to the world so they can be stopped. And the poor creatures harmed for profit and vanity, can be saved.

Thousands of dogs and cats are being used for their fur. Stolen and starved they are then shoved into crammed cages where they then make the tortuous journey to their final destination. Then for the sake of saving a few pounds, they are killed in the most inhumane ways imaginable. Water forced down their throats until they drown, skinned alive and left on the side lines to die. All for a collar full of fur.

It's sick and completely unjustifiable.

Though the story is a sad one, it needs to be told. Otherwise how else can these sick acts be stopped and other potential victims be saved from having to experience this Hell.

 

 

Beauty. Pain.

Shedding tears a second too late.

Anger. Shame.

The finger pointed with justified blame.

Fear. Redemption.

Helping in the form of voice and donation.

Protests. Jeers.

Yelling truths for the world to hear.

Action. Laws.

Saving the lives of animals we adore.

Right. Wrongs.

Making the world a safer place to belong.

The Ruby Circly by Richelle Mead: Cover and blurb

Attention fans!!
My jaw literally just fell, when I saw this posted on Mead's website. It's the cover and blurb for The Ruby Circle which should be out on the 10th Feb 2015.
But I'm also devastated that this will be the last book in the Bloodlines series.
Although, I am eager to find out what happens next for our beloved Sydney and Adrian!!!
Check it out...

 

Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.

After their secret romance is exposed, Sydney and Adrian find themselves facing the wrath of both the Alchemists and the Moroi in this electrifying conclusion to Richelle Mead's New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series. When the life of someone they both love is put on the line, Sydney risks everything to hunt down a deadly former nemesis. Meanwhile, Adrian becomes enmeshed in a puzzle that could hold the key to a shocking secret about spirit magic, a secret that could shake the entire Moroi world. 

Archangel's Shadows by Gena Showalter

Do we have any Guild Hunter fans here. Well if you are, you have come to the right place to get a little taste of what's to be expected. Don't forget, we only have until the 11th November.

 

In the wake of a brutal war, the archangel Raphael and his hunter consort, Elena, are dealing with the treacherously shifting tides of archangelic politics and the people of a battered but not broken city. The last thing their city needs is more death, especially not a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot - should not - be walking the streets. This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves...

Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there's one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time, it is Ash's secret, dark and terrible, that threatens to destroy them both.

Nalini Singh, the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling 'alpha author of paranormal romance' (BOOKLIST), returns to her stunning world, as it braces itself for destruction.

 



Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

For any of you who have read Sarah J. Mass' Throne of Glass series, then you should know that the third full-length book is soon to be released- well for us UK residents anyway- the 11th is fast approaching!
If you haven't then I encourage you to pick up a copy..
It's amazing and will literally blow your mind!

 

 

Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.

While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?

Apologies

I just want to say a quick apology to my few followers out there! I've just been swamped with exams and enrolling at University, as well as my own writing- which has really begun to take off a life of its own.
It's all very exciting!

She is Keeley Cael. The Red Queen. When the powerful beauty with shocking vulnerabilities escapes from a centuries-long imprisonment, the desire that simmers between her and Torin is scorching. His touch could mean the end for her, but resisting her is the hardest battle he’s ever fought—and the only battle he fears he can’t win.
