As awesome as the swag is, I know what you’re here for. You’re here for the WICKED, the INTENSE, the GORGEOUS cover of DoC! You can always head over to the Valentines’ blog to party with the fun kids, but if you really can’t wait, FEAST YOUR EYES UPON THIS:
Right? RIGHT??
Witches must choose the path they will follow, and Darlena Agara is no exception. She’s been putting it off long enough, and in her case, ignoring it has not made it go away. In a moment of frustration, Darlena chooses to follow Red Magic, figuring she had outsmarted the powers that be, since there’s no such thing as Red Magic. But alas, Darlena’s wrong (again) and she becomes a newly declared Red Witch.
Her friends are shocked and her parents horrified by the choice Darlena has made. As a Red Witch, she now governs one third of the world’s chaos. She is the walking personification of pandemonium, turmoil, and bedlam, just as the patrons of Red Magic would have it to be.
But Darlena believes there must be more to Red Magic than chaos and destruction, and she sets out on a journey to achieve balance. Only doing so puts her at odds with the dark goddess Hecate, who simply will not allow Darlena to quit. She encourages Darlena to embrace who and what she is and to leave good magic to the good witches. If only Darlena could, life would be simple, and she would not be the Daughter of Chaos.
DAUGHTER OF CHAOS is the first in a YA paranormal trilogy.

Sometimes ducklings get so excited for food that they flip over and get stuck on their backs with their little feet paddling in opposite directions and usually they manage to flip themselves over but every so often there’s one duckling who just can’t flip himself over so I have to give him a little nudge and I swear that heaven is nothing but ducklings stuck on their backs and we just go around all day going “boop" and flipping them onto their feet again.

there was a kid in my elementary school who constantly wrote land before time fanfiction and he would bind it up and staple it all together and just put it on the library bookshelves and wait for someone to read it
I don’t know that kid, but I love him.

How to Fight Write: Tip: Women Are Not Weaker Than Men
Divorce yourself from this idea right now, author. While I’m sure it is the narrative you’ve been presented with your entire life, I’m here to tell you that it isn’t true. Women do find building up muscles in the upper body more difficult than men, but since power does not come from the arms, it’s…
