Updates ...

Wow. Editing is exhausting, especially when it's done in a rapid succession of four days. Which is what I did last weekend. It's exams week here, and I pulled an all-nighter to EDIT MY BOOK. Problem? Maybe.

What brought all of this on, however, was a request for my manuscript from an AGENT! A real, bonified agent with an office on the 36th floor on a building on Madison Ave. in New York. I don't really expect anything to come from it (mostly because he has some HUGE names, like Ursula K. Leguin and Dean Koontz), but this is a HUGE step. :)

That said, I definitely plan on spending a LOT of time working on my book, so Jenny-Wolf will DEFINITELY be taking a back seat. I may work on some of my other stories a bit, but Jenny's voice is too close to my main charrie's voice in this book. Sorry!

I've also been going to a couple of writing workshops, so I'll be posting the free-writes that come from those.

My Stories ...

Choosing Packs: Torn Loyalties

COMPLETE

Jennifer, a senior in high school, gets into a fight with her mom about who she (the mother) is about to marry. She runs away with every intent to return home sometime the next day, just trying to make a point like any other teenager.

Instead, she ends up getting attacked by a wild wolf and saved by another wild wolf. She passes out, whether due to blood loss or surprise no one knows. Then she goes through a phase of partial lucidness as she tries to recover. When she finally wakes up for real, she find out that she's a ... duh duh duuhn! A werewolf! Because no one saw it coming at all, right?

As she tries to fit in with the pack, she runs into all sorts of problems. Especially since she's a girl, and the other six members are all guys.

Rule Number One: Don't Fall for the Hunter

COMPLETE

I will admit, this idea kinda surprised me. It seemed to come out of nowhere, though my friends think otherwise. They all know exactly what I read though, and I think they like to look for similarities just to bother me.

Anywho, the main charrie's name is Jasmine, and she's a reporter by day, vampire hunter by night. Carlo is a vampire who claims to be on the run, and he becomes her next target until he convinces her that he was framed. Together they work to remove themselves of the vampire out to get the both of them.

What: Finds her sister's friend's dead body and hunts down the supposed killer
Meets: Carlo
Problem: Carlo is being set up by the same vampires who want to kill Jasmine.

A Faerie Tale

Daniel, on the other hand, is a senator's son, absolutely spoiled, and sick of his life. He meets Niamh in his hated political science class, and soon begins to see what his father likes about politics. If only his father didn't have views completely opposite of his own.

Queen of the Forest

Overly Complicated

This is a story I started writing based on the life of one of my friends. The drama is definitely played up.
