Famous First Lines

24th November 2015 alliemay

    The hardest part about writing a book is always the first chapter. We write it over and over again because there's far too much pressure on a single sentence to capture attention, and a couple thousand words to do too many things. It's the readers' first impression of a story, and first impressions are… Continue reading Famous First Lines

    GUYS GUESS WHAT JUST CAME IN THE MAIL!!!!!!!!    I am going crazy right now.  I have been dying to read this book since we got left with that horrible Mark of Athena cliffhanger.  But now that I'm holding it in my hands, I feel my heart breaking.  The anxiety is overwhelming me.  This… Continue reading READING

Beggar Magic

1st October 2014 alliemay

    This is some super exciting news for me and for a fellow writer.  Beggar Magic by H. L. Burke has a cover and a release date!  I was a kind of beta-reader for this book through Scribophile.  I was the first person to read it all the way through (because it was that riveting… Continue reading Beggar Magic
