Hello again: book update
It has been such a long time since I have been on gooodreads. The year has flown by and my writing was kind of put on hold for a very long time. I'm not sure if I'm a conventional writer, everyone is different I suppose. When I'm motivated to write, the story and the idea has to be something that motivates me and is exciting to write about. It has to flow organically because I have found I can only write about five hundred words in one sitting before I lose myself. I'm not one of those writers who can write ten thousand words in a week. If I'm being honest I lost that motivation because I hadn't found what I wanted the second book in my dark Atlanta series to be about.
I also had some personal issues. My father passed away in October 2014 and this affected me and I had no motivation or inspiration to write anything. Then this year I broke my arm in a terrible accident which was life changing. This incident suddenly showed me that I needed to start writing again. That I had been given a second chance to do what I really like doing that my voice hadn't been taken away.
So right now I stand here with a real sense of motivation and a new outlook on what I want to achieve with my second novel in this series. The title has changed from what it was previously. It now has the title: game of rebels which I hope will not change again.
I plan to have the book out in February 2017 which seems a long way off but will fly by. I'm currently writing the novel and hope to have first draft complete by July 2016. So excited by this one I'm already around 12,000 words in and plan the book to be 110,000 words. I'll keep you posted on my progress and I can't wait to have the book out in physical form for everyone to enjoy.

Game of Rebels
I have just added Game of Rebels, book 2 in the Dark Atlanta Series, to Goodreads. I am excited to share this extensive preview of the book to those who would like to read it. At 122 pages it is a very extensive preview and i am expecting the complete novel to be published in the summer of 2017.
Any comments on the book and its concept would be much appreciated.
