Progress
I haven't written a blog post in forever, so I decided to update you all on my progress on The Last Night.
I'm almost done editing it, only about four chapters to go, and then it'll be off to my betas! I can't believe how far I've come with this story, I'm really excited about that.
My debut novel will be out July 2nd-not that far away! I can't wait to share Sarah's story-or hear what anyone thinks. Though, I must admit, I'm a little worried about formatting. I have a feeling I'm going to mess it up, but hey, I have to try, right? Besides, how hard can it be? Either way, I'm excited to even be in this process-it's a dream come true.
In case anyone was curious, here's the summary for The Last Night:
After Sarah Hill's boyfriend dies, everything changes. Caught up in her grief and desire to see him again, Sarah is challenged in moving on. She's sucked back into the world Sarah was in before they started dating-being invisible, bullied. She slowly begins to pull away from everyone, unable to do it anymore. Then one day her reality comes crashing down all around her, pushing Sarah to the edge...
I'll try to update a lot more. I'm now off to do some more editing.

Reviews
These reviews I keep getting completely blow me away. I love them! The reviewers make my day even better then it already was, and they put a smile on my face. My writing mean so much to me, and knowing they loved it makes it even better. I'm so excited about self-publishing my book, and a little surprised. I'm not good with computers at all. Anyways, I want you guys to know how much these things mean to me.
In cast you missed them, here's the two reviews I got so far. The first one was from the author of Home Wrecker, Brenda Perlin. Hers really make me giddy.
"The pain this young girl experiences seems real. The losses she suffers is relatable on so many levels. This girl feels alone in the world, is bullied and misunderstood. She could be any of us. I could feel the pain she was in and the internal struggle she was dealing with. I got so caught up in the story that I didn't want to put it down. It was written with so much real life emotion. I want to applaud the author for writing such a moving yet vulnerable story about a teenager that has to deal with modern day problems. Sadly, so many teens keep their sorrow to themselves. Sometimes no one finds out about the suffering until it is too late."
And the next one is from Twinkle Varshney, which also made me giddy.
"Teenage author Heather Kirchhoff's The Last NIGHT is undoubtedly a spellbinding,original and captivating masterpiece enticing readers from the starting till the very last line.
It is the story of a teenage girl Sarah Hill belligering from the beefy feeling of being sucked back into the murky hell she belonged to before she started dating her Now- Dead boyfriend Ryan.
Already coping through tangled relations and anathematized past, the young girl's grief is waxed, she yearns to see her boyfriend and if possible to change the past, to go back into time and prevent his suicide , but too late for that she has to confront the ailing and vitriolic present.
It not only questions the social issues like bullying and suicide but expresses how it jeoparadize and traumatize people and their lives.
The flow of emotions..the pain,sorrows teenage feels...the misery of being alone, ununderstood, awaif like an outsider, bullied, loosing a lover your soumate and self accusation for being incapicitive to save his life....every emotion seems real, lively and relatable. Suffering of teens, challenged by life, imprisoned deep inside, neither said nor expressed, dissolving them inside and out are brought up so felicitly that they touch the soul.
It is not only in the making the character come alive or in the realistic feel given by obssesive attention to every emotion where the reader finds the book's main virtue.
I adulate the author for her extoling work orecticing the reader not only to read it again but to love it and live it!!!"
These two girls really made my day as well as Kate Marie Robbins, author of Indigo, who gave The Last Night a five-star review.
