Being Ditched, Finding Yourself, and Following Your Dreams
[image error]This promises to be a busy week here on the site! Tomorrow I'll announce January's Reader of the Month, and Wednesday will mark the kick-off of my February giveaway and the countdown to the Circle of Fire release. You guys know how much I love giving stuff away, so get ready!
In the meantime, I've partnered with Heather Zahn Gardner to bring you some beautiful photographs that will be used in the Circle of Fire trailer. You can get a sneak peek and keep up on Heather's progress by visiting her at Fire and Ice. I'm super excited and even more excited to unveil Kenneth's Circle of Fire theme. It's hard to choose a favorite, but I can hear his growth as a composer in it and it's just as beautiful as the Prophecy and Guardian music.
So sit back and enjoy this peaceful Monday with this week's Anonymous Teen Reader, Crystal, because the rest of the week's going to be cuh-razy!
And if you'd like to be featured as an Anonymous Teen Reader, just send an email to prophecypress@aol.com with "Anonymous Teen Reader" in the subject line.
