Informal Introduction
Hello, lovely reader! You might like my books if you love character-driven books written by an author who deals with anxiety and puts all her trauma into her characters. I write because I love it. There's really no other reason.

My books will range from YA to Adult but while the topics get dark, there will always be something hopeful.

While I do not use the services Pro Writing Aid provides, they were hosting a free challenge to replace NaNoWriMo, which for those who don’t know was a challenge set forth to write 50,000 words in thirty days. To do so, all you had to do was write 1,667 words every day at minimum.

Quotes by Brooke Riley  (?)

“Rising to my feet, I make my decision. Samantha wants ruthless? I'll be cold, heartless, and unforgiving from now on. It will be the only I can survive this.”
Brooke Riley, How We Rise

“Peter looks up again, though he doesn't seem to see what's truly in front of him. No, he's watching something from years ago, watching another boy being taken away like the one I watched today.”
Brooke Riley, How We Rise

“Promise me you'll never leave me.' His voice is husky.
'Only if you promise me the same thing,' I say.”
Brooke Riley, How We Rise

“There's a few things even fire can't destroy.”
A.J. Sky, Firestorm

“Weston is everything
And all at once.
Weston is gentle
And harsh.
Weston can be blindingly bright
But then he can also be
Delicately soft.
Weston is a paradox.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“And, actually, I was feeling pretty good at the time. My brothers were like individual rays of sunshine that had come crashing into my room to drive out the fragments of Despair. For a few minutes, everything was golden. And everything was okay.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“Well?' he asks when I don’t open my eyes and silently savor the goodness. 'What do you taste?'

I smile despite myself. 'The most amazing waffles under the sun.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“This is when I usually crack a lame joke, like, “Yeah, sorry, I left my real legs at home.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight
