I am thrilled to be participating in Abigayle Claire’s blog tour for her latest release, Andora’s Folly! I had the pleasure of beta reading for her, which was an amazing experience. I was able to ask Abigayle a few questions, which she answered in a vlog that you can view below. But first, a few details about the book! SYNOPSIS A Pandora’s Box retelling Andora is a beautiful young woman with insatiable curiosity. Raised in splendor, she is spoiled by her privileged life.

I won camp nano: one last update + things to come
As you all can probably tell from the title, I WON CAMP NANOWRIMO!!!!! *screams* We are the champions, my friends… I won’t be doing a day-by-day update because 1), I don’t feel like it, and 2), I don’t feel like it. So I’ll just give you my lovely stats… I managed to stay on track and meet my goal almost every day, finishing with a total of 16,057. 57 words more than my goal, yay! ; ) Sadly, I’m… not… done. Because of my extreme ramblingness (yes, I just made that word up), I didn’t exactly finish. But I’m close! I’m so, so close to being done with my (positively…

The Interrogation Tag
Hello everyone! Recently, Olivia at Important Nothings and I came up with questions to ask Emma at Real and Official Matters. She turned it into a tag, which is why I’m doing it聽now! Thanks for the tag, Olivia! Get to Know Me What are 3-5 little-known facts about yourself? Even though I love people and sometimes seem outgoing, I don’t like crowds or talking to more than a couple of people at once. I have broken every bone in my left arm and my right femur. Also, I’m pretty sure I broke my toe (right foot, next to my pinky toe), because it doesn’t bend anymore. Lovely, right? I read…

camp nano update // week three + an announcement
Week Three of Camp Nano (and July) is over! Can y’all believe it? It’s crazy to me that July is almost over and we’ll be starting school again. I am not completely enthusiastic about that… I mean, summer! I’m not ready for it to be over. But when I see the new school books I can’t help but be a little bit excited. Anyhow, I’m here to bring you this week’s writing update, not to ramble on and on about summer. Saturday, July 15: This was kind of a crazy day because we had a birthday party and I had a blog post due… which didn’t get published until Sunday…

Beautiful People #26
Hello, folks! It’s time yet again for Beautiful People, and *gasps* it’s not about my characters. It’s about me. Hey, hey, calm down. Don’t run screaming into the sunset yet. This wasn’t my idea. It was *ahem* these people (Cait and Sky, I’m looking at you). So don’t get mad at me, okay? Okay. Now that we’re not so furious about not being able to see into my characters’ lives (you have calmed down, right?… Right??), let’s look at the questions. How do you decide which project to work on? Hahaha. I don’t. An idea pops into my head and nags me until I write it down. So, my projects…

camp nano update // week one
Hello all! Today I’m bring you an update on my Camp Nano progress. It’s been interesting so far, and I was lucky enough to be invited to a great cabin. I actually am making progress on my Snow White retelling, so that’s good. I’m still sworn to secrecy by my ultra-secret writing organization (if I told you I’d have to lock you up) not sharing details about my retelling yet, so this may or may not be a dull post. My writing goal for the month is currently 14,000 words, although I keep changing it. Compulsively. It’s weird. I’ll probably change it to 15,000 after I finish writing this post.…

June // featuring assorted memories
June聽was kind of a strange month.聽I had a lot of plans, but some of them didn’t happen due to unforeseen illness – almost all month. And some of us still have it… So basically, we’ve hardly gone anywhere for three weeks. *sighs* I had a bunch of spare time at home聽until I got sick, so I was extremely productive for two weeks or so, and then I didn’t quite feel like it. Luckily I’m feeling better now, and hopefully back to my normal, productive self. You should see my to-do-list for today. I ran out of room. 馃槈 Anyway, I’m not in the mood to do an ordinary recap today…

Author Interview with Kellyn Roth // Blog Tour
I had the pleasure of interviewing Kellyn Roth,聽who is launching the new covers of her novels The Dressmaker’s Secret and Ivy Introspective. She’s a great author and a lot of fun to interview! 聽First, a bit about her. Kellyn Roth was born and raised in the country outside a small town in North-Eastern Oregon. Ever since she could talk, she’s had a fascination with words, always coming up with songs, poems, and stories. Now a homeschooled highschooler, she spends her spare time penning historical novels, several of which have been published.
