The Intruders: Behind the Story
Hey guys,
This is a fun little post that I’ve been wanting to write for a while now. I figured that since The Intruders has been out for a month, now would be anappropriate time to write it. Basically, I’m going to fill you in on a fun bit oftrivia/facts about The Intruders.
The Intruders wasoriginally a book calledCodename:Apocalypse.It was called that because I didn’t really have a name for it, so I just gave it a codename. It was about a group of kids living in the Royal Bank (the bank at th...

Next Generation Authors
So, I launched a new blog. It’s basically a melting pot of all things that have to do with writing, except it’s geared towards teens! It’s called Next Generation Authors, and I would love it if you checked it out, and helped spread the word about it. Us teens are the next generation of authors, so don’t you want the books that you’re going to read to be awesome? Send everybody you know to this website, and we can all help each other be the best writers we can be!

A Teenagers View on being a Self-Published Author
I thought I'd take a different route today, and not talk about my books (:O shocker, I know).
I figured that since I'm seventeen, and published, I'd give people an insight on publishing that they wouldn't normally get: a teenagers view on Self-Publishing.
"You write books?" My friend asks.
"Yeah, I like to write," I respond with a shrug.
"What's one of them about?" They ask curiously. (I say "they" because this is pretty much how it goes all across the board.)
I try to think of a way to explain...

The Intruders First Draft: Done.
You guys have no idea how long I've been waiting to tell you this.
Just twenty minutes ago, I typed the final words of The Intruders. This is one of the greatest moments of my life. I've been working on this novel since last August, and the current draft since November. There's been a lot of bumps in the road, but I've finally reached the end. It it's so freaking satisfying.
The word count? 50,500 (I'm not lying. It landed on exactly that many words.)
Yes, it's kinda short. But I told the...

The Intruders Cover Reveal!
I'm revealing the cover for The Intruders today! Originally, I was going to have a professional do the cover. Then, I added everything up, and I was going to end up having to choose between hiring an editor, or a cover artist. So, of course, I chose to have and editor. So today, I've been messing around with different covers, and this one is my favorite. It looks professional, and it's the best I've ever done. I'm really proud of it.
Anyways, enough of my blabbing. Here's the cover!
So tell...
