Review/beta readers!
I'm just posting about how grateful I am for everyone who has been willing to read, rate, or review my upcoming novel! These awesome readers and writers create an honest and personalized portrayal of my work; this helps so new readers get a good grasp on the book from someone else's perspective. It's wonderful to see what these individuals think and take away from The Hunt for the Legendary Mr. Morris. I couldn't be happier or more grateful for the reviews and ratings!

Contest!
Contest!
Another art challenge in response to my new book The Hunt for the Legendary Mr. Morris and it's near release! The last art contest was a huge success and a lot of people enjoyed it so I decided this was the perfect time for another one! Please read the rules for entry details.
Challenge:
Use the given (possibly bad) synopsis (and any information gained from the sneak peek posts) to create your own version of the cover (There is no cover released publically yet). This should be fun, creative, and done in any style you'd like!
Prizes:
I will select 3 winners (whose art I really liked or who were very close to the original idea) who will receive a shoutout and free signed copies of the book upon its release! Additionally, my favorite of the three will receive a $10 gift card!
Synopsis:
Kade- A creative, insecure boy with hidden talents even he doesn’t recognize.Brodin- the boss, the thief, a girl of many names. Brodin is the future as anyone would know it, she’s brave, a leader -too bad she loves mischief and history more than anything her community can offer her. Sylas- the smartest prodigy in the pod community, Science is his only god, he may be ill but he is everything you could want in a young scientist. What they have in common- They are all skinny, they don’t believe a word Brodin’s parents spew, and they love to delve into forbidden waters. All three seek the knowledge of a world outside their safety pods, outside the community of luxury, outside the world they know. The world- What’s left of the human race live in luxury thousands of years after the war until creative Kade, brave Brodin and a very smart Sylas set off a chain of events they never thought possible. They are trapped in the world they dreamed of, left with a task of which failure is not a viable option, and time is ticking down. Kade and his friends must find the only man able to fix the mess they caused but how will they survive a world where they are nothing but a delicacy of the food chain? How will they keep their humanity- if they can? Is Mr. Morris even alive as they hope? There is no time to waste, the end is near.

My New Book!
I am so happy to announce that my new book ' The Hunt for the Legendary Mr. Morris' is going to begin publication by next week! We will be having contests, giveaways, sneak peeks, and other fun stuff on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Sashasworks1...
****Sneak Peek of 'The Hunt for the Legendary Mr. Morris'****
"... We’ve only heard of places like this, old buildings seconds away from collapse. I remember in some of our old CD's we would see things like this but they were beautiful, not scary or creepy or full of plants and vicious animals. I step over some plants that grew in between an unsettling crack in the metal floor. Brodin’s far enough away that she won't hear so I whisper, “Sylas, what are the logical chances that Mr. Morris is actually here? The CD says he was working on an immortality serum...he should have completed that by now...he’s here...isn’t he?” I ask more for Brodin than myself, I’ve become tense with fear and exhaustion. I already fear failure, I don’t want Brodin to be crushed, I’m already in the perfect mindset to lay down and die with everything else. If anyone could look at our odds objectively, It’s Sylas. I trust Sylas to know the answer, I need him too. I can’t take watching Brodin lose hope, I can’t take any more fear.
Brodin yells from up ahead, “Guys, I found something! This could help us right?” We hear her steps coming closer to us, quick, hopeful. We ignore her, pretending not to hear what she said. Sylas looks at me, his eyes sunken in from sleep deprivation and general fear, Sylas shakes the worst of all of us. I don’t know why but he’s more afraid than any of us...."
