As Martha has stated some books do feel rushed... you get the "what just happened" and the "I feel cheated" feel..."Aww, I've heard that part made a bunch of people cry, which is an honor and super touching! I woke up during a thunder storm and wrote it.
Anyone interested in the Crimson Reign? Lol
hahaaaa... it brought pain and suffering to dear Vera... I think I'll pass :P
Haha I'm not going to write a vampire novel, no worries!What were your favorite things? Least favorite things?
Fav things:1. Loved how Tad chose Don't Stand So Close To Me to get his message across :P
2. Vera's poem was so profound! She literally put herself out there. All her fears... her soul laid bare in ink
3. Tad's tattoo and the amazing words that both console Vera and bring her a ray of solace in troubled times *the words give me goosebumps!
4. Vera's changing nature..how she becomes more trusting of those around her and sees Jaz as someone who is perpetually upbeat but with a heart of gold
Least Fav:
1. Jennings... that woman smelt of danger!
2. Vera's self-righteous nature at pushing Tad away.. (not a bad thing.. but I felt that she needs to see him for who he is and not as she sees the world at large)
4. Lily... She was sooo Prissy!!! I wanted to turn 16 and scratch her face out!! lol :P

Just saw it! Thanks! :) I'm lucky-- I found my Tad!
Martha wrote: "I don't know what it feels like to lose a parent let alone two (thank God for that) but I seriously wanted to hug her every time she thought about her own. Break my heart."The same here--I cry every time I think about it. The way her parents are described--that's my parents and my relationship with them, well minus the trip over nothing thing, that is uniquely me. I always have bruises, and I never remember what thing I crashed into to get them! Lol
Martha.... I'm curious how Manny stars? Lil I'm trying not to be pudgy but my curiousity is getting the best of me!
Martha wrote: "You mean what did I rate it?"Have to love auto correct on iPhones! Yes, rating lol

You too! I wrapped presents while listening to Sting!
Martha wrote: "I've have seen some funny auto-corrects from iphones!Well I rated it 5 stars! :D
I'll be reviewing it soon."
Awesome! Merry Christmas! What does everyone want?
I want 48 hours.. so that I can work, get stuck in traffic, read books, study and STILL not get beat at the end of the day ;)

Martha wrote: "Like Nagwa I want time and books. :DANd myabe some takis while I'm at it.
What about you Cassandra?"
I've got everything I want already. It would be nice to have some more fabulous readers, though ;)
@Cassandra - that's a given... considering how riveting your story-telling style is!! :)
You guys are the best!
Last deleted scene tonight!
Martha wrote: "I will be on the lookout!"It's up and @Nagwa there's a very secretive clue plopped in there about what I am currently working on!
I drew something and put it up too...it's so bad, it's funny!!!

Hehehe...it's well hidden, but not...
New blog post...novel behind the novel...the first two chapters of Crimson Reign!
just read it! It's awesome!!! Loved the characters! The cover is super!
Aww, thanks guys! My dad thinks it might be a good idea--I have about 4000 words that were "play" words.Cover is my favorite that I've ever designed :)
The epilogue was beautiful! I cried in the bus on my way home from work! It was a beautiful feeling reading about Abbi drawing her strength from Tad :')
