Good news!

My short story about a boy with trauma-induced amnesia, Five Minutes, will be released in paperback format from CreateSpace on January 26, 2016. So add to your to-read shelves (if Five Minutes is on your to-read shelf, you are automatically entered for a chance to read an ARC pdf...as well as get some really cool swag I'm going to be working on...) and stay tuned for more info!

Also, if you want to read the other stories from Scribbles: A Collection of Words, please pre-order it on Inkshares and make my dream to become a published author come true!

And a final note, follow me on Twitter @tacewriter for exclusive hints and updates on my writing projects.

Cheers!

My absolutely amazing artist, Lizzy, has struck again with the cover for Five Minutes



And here is the official blurb:

"Life is never, ever, normal."

Rachel struggles to make ends meet. With an absent mother and a dad who won't keep a job, her life is composed of one worry after another.

Lind lives in a five minute loop of amnesia. Haunted by a mysterious tragedy, he is desperate for his memories . . . but terrified of the hidden past.

As the two teens are drawn to each other, Lind’s fate gives Rachel the strength to push past her own troubled past, and Rachel is the girl Lind is determined to remember.

I am beyond excited to share this story with you, and I can't wait until the 19th. If you're as excited as I am, feel free to comment here or tweet me @TabbyCatGurl

Cheers!

Very short post today, just a basic shout-out that if you want a copy of Five Minutes, well, it's out and available to the world now!

And check out my newest project, Mersong!

This is going to be a post that probably should have been written in the first week of January instead of February, but...



So I'm starting my writing year now, officially that is. And I have 5 definite projects I'm going to be working on, very awesome projects.



Project #1: Afterwards
Now on my writing worktable and set to undergo some extreme revising & polishing in time for hopeful submission to publishers in the Fall... and just in time for me to start (finally) writing the sequel in this planned trilogy.

Project #2: Mersong
This is another revision of a VERY old story of mine, one that I half-finished when I was about 15, so yeah there's a little bit of a time span there with this one. I'm going to start posting this on Wattpad a chapter a week, starting in April.
Read the first chapter now: https://www.wattpad.com/story/6030101...

Project #3: Scribbles: A Collection of Words
Still wrangling with a couple stories on this one, as they really don't want to be tamed. But I shall prevail!
And as a reminder, I'm still running my pre-order funding in an attempt to publish this here through Inkshares and if you could stop by and order a copy (from $10-$20) you will have my gratitude forever!

Project #4: Wanderful Musings
My collection of poetry that I've written through the years, and I'm finally editing it to publish through CreateSpace, planning on doing this sometime in the summer.
And in the meantime, my poetry is available to read on Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/3536611...

And finally... (wait for it)... something new!!!



Project #5!!! Project Human
It's a single novel set 100 years into the future, and I'm pitching it as I-Robot meets Divergent meets Real Steel. I'm going to start officially working on it during the July Camp NaNoWriMo, and once it's finished I'm going to open it up for pre-order on Inkshares.
Pssst, follow me on Inkshares for exclusive sneak peeks AND chapters.

So there you have it, the plan for my writing in 2016. But seeing as I'm always learning, tripping over myself on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis, this is subject to change. Something may get added on if I get inspired to work on one of my other upcoming projects (these have yet to be disclosed mwhahaha) or a project may hit an unexpected bump. One of the absolute best things about writing, is that I really don't 100% know what's going to happen. I just sit down with an idea in my mind and let my imagination go wild.

And as always, I adore each and every one of you who takes the time to read these rambling and sporadic posts of mine. Every one who reads my drabblings on Wattpad, or even adds my book to their to-read shelf here on Goodreads. Every time someone shows love to my stories, it gives me even more incentive to keep on dreaming and writing those dreams.



Happy Monday, y'all.
