Exciting News! (Morrow update)

-

 I've been editing my next novella Morrow for a long time. The editing journey has now ended. Let's talk about my next published book and what it's about. It's not released yet, but it will be by Christmas. 



I am not giving a date just yet. I have some commissions to wait on before I release Morrow. The release will be months away. I will shout it to the rooftops when it releases. I only promise before Christmas.

This cover art was made by Eric Baker (who can be found at this link on Instagram). I am so happy with the covers he made. It's far better than I could do on my own. Eric, if you're reading this, thank you! To anyone interested in his work, go find him on Instagram and give him some attention and likes. He deserves it. 

Now, onto the main plot summary. This book is a thriller/suspense novella about two young women who stay with the Morrow family for a summer internship. The internship itself is writing a family history of the Morrow family line. (I did not base this on a real family line.) While looking through documents and boxes, they find a deadly family secret. Will they survive their summer internship? Find out in this novella, Morrow. 

I am beyond excited to be this far in the project. At the end of this year I'll have two books out. Morrow has a sequel coming. Its title will be Buried. It'll be the aftermath of the first book. I won't spoil anything about it. Read the first book when it releases and you'll understand.

What Can I Do To Help?

The book is coming to Kobo and Amazon/Kindle. There are many ways you can help. One of which is buying the book - in any form - when it releases. I will give a release date when it is set up to release, so pay attention and buy the book right when it comes out. Apparently, that helps with Amazon status. I'll post that day, as well, so you can see the post the day I release. 

Another way to help is to share and interact with my social media. I'll put the links to all my social media at the bottom of this blog. The more you share book ads and posts, the better my chances of book sales. I need the help. You can help me reach the people I'm not connected to. Word of mouth is also great, since your friends and family are more likely to buy a book if you suggest it to them. You have a sphere of influence, whether you realize it or not. 

Reviews are a major thing for Amazon. I need reviews from all of you. If you aren't sure what to write, a simple star rating and "It was fun. I liked it." will do nicely. Rest assured, you do not have to write an essay; a few words will be enough. Star ratings do make a difference, so star ratings alone will also help. 

Cheers and God bless <3

Nancy Drew's Love Interests

-

Nancy Drew has several TV shows, book series, and games under her belt. Did you know that different series have different love interests? Some promote the "Francy" relationship, while others only show Ned. There is even one book series where she dates multiple men. Let's dive in! For those of you who don't know your Nancy Drew basics, here's a basic overview. Ned Nickerson and Nancy Drew have been together in the books since the beginning. Frank Hardy has had a crush on Nancy throughout the Supermysteries, and this idea is known as "Francy". These two ideas have come up over and over again throughout Nancy's history. Ned Nickerson Ted Nickerson and Nancy  Starting from the original books, we have Ned Nickerson, or as the Bonita Granville Nancy Drew movies call him, Ted Nickerson. He is established as only a close, consistent friend in the original books, but later in the series becomes jealous of the young men around her. With the...

A Character Study: Brave

-
Image
The characters in the movie Brave  are well written and change throughout the movie. While it is easy to say Merida was all in the wrong or Queen Elinor was all in the wrong that is not what the actual movie was about, to begin with. Here is a character study that will give you a deeper understanding of Merida and Queen Elinor. Our starting point is explaining the plot. If you've watched this movie you know the plot, but I'm banking on the fact some of you haven't. Put simply and in a few words, Merida and Queen Elinor have a disagreement over Merida getting married to the winner of the archery contest (which Merida secretly entered herself and won her own hand). There are some hurtful words on both ends, Merida runs into a witch, and it all leads to Queen Elinor turning into a bear unless they "mend the bond torn by pride", which takes both mother and daughter to do. There is more detail, but I'm not here to analyze the whole plot, just two characters. Merida...

The Yellow Wallpaper - a short story review

 When you think about yellow wallpaper do you think about female hysteria cures? Now you will. Today I'm reviewing a short suspense story about a woman dealing with depression. Her "cure" was to do nothing at all at home. Let's dive in.  Courtesy of enwallpaper.com The basic, overall plot is this; a woman dealing with postpartum depression is given the "cure" of staying home and doing nothing, only to start losing her mind and seeing the wallpaper come to life. It is so much more than that, but there are your cliff notes. If you want more context see the video below. If you don't care about historical context (but you really should), go straight to my review.  The Review Five out of five. It is literally fifteen pages and one page of introduction in my copy. It's a pamphlet of a story published in 1892 when the "rest cure" was common. The author went through the rest cure, decided she'd had enough, then gave it up. She wrote this and se...
