I have completed writing my first novella, Moorehead Manor. It's in the teen, horror genre. I've given it over to my editor to read, but am thinking about putting it out there as a first draft, posted for the sake of critiques.

When there's no school, there's work, and that's even worse. I hate that I have to get up at five-thirty every Saturday and Sunday morning. My manager always…

Ok vampire books have been hyped up and over done in my opinion. Back in April I found my love of reading again and was willing to read pretty much anything and everything. A friend of mine recommended The house of night series to me and I laughed in her face because let's be honest, since Twilight, I did not want to read another vampire book. So one day as I'm looking on goodreads.com, these books were recommended to me and I figured what the heck so I picked the first 3 books (all 3 were…

You know how you get when you haven’t had something in a while. You start thinking about it all the time. Wondering, how will I get that? When will I get that?
