The Eliana Chronicles Book 1: The Darkened Heir

Hello, Readers!

Hi, everyone. Before you read I'd like to explain my situation and actions before they begin. Most importantly, before they get me in trouble. Like, Wattpad reader angry mob trouble.

I'm a high school sophomore who also has orchestra, girl scouts, academy graphic design and cyber security classes, and appeasing my parents to worry about. And my friends and I are trying to start a YouTube animation channel on top of that.

I'm not complaining so, please don't yell at me in the comments. I'm grateful to be in this happy but stressful situation and I wouldn't trade it for the world but I am asking for patience. This is the first story I'm publishing that I'm actually trying to keep up without chickening out. Which, I do a lot.

But I think it's different this time. I have the constant support of people I'm proud to call my best friends. They believe in my work. And I do, too. I just didn't realize it until now. Knowing they believe in my abilities gives me more confidence. The confidence an one hundred percent introverted person, like me, needs life.

So, I've decided, with the constant pushing of said friends, to release the first chapter of this series. Otherwise known as... the only complete chapter in the series.

There are more coming, I promise. It just takes me a bit to get my ideas down. All my writing - ideas, characters, plot, everything -  goes from my brain to my journals. I know most people go straight to the computer, but I'm what most people in the world and the majority of Wattpad users recognize as weird. And I'm perfectly okay with that.

Weird, nerd, bookworm, geek, dork. I wear these like a crown. It's hilarious to me how some people in our generation believe being called a 'nerd' is an insult. It may be insulting in dictionary terms, but it's like a badge of honor to me. When someone calls me weird like it's supposed to hurt, I just flash 'em a grin and say, "Thanks, I really try."

Anyway, being the weirdo nut I am, when I'm writing with pen and paper, I'm more connected to my creativity and emotions, or the ever ecstatic right side of the brain. My scene descriptions and character expressions are written on a deeper, more lively level that I can't reach typing on a keyboard. My inner 5-year-old connects with my inner writer and it feels right. So, everything is written in my journal then goes through grammar check before finally coming here. Mix in all of my life stuff and you have a bit of wait between chapters. But the chapters are coming.

In addition to this series, I'm starting a YouTube channel as I mentioned previously. I will be showing samples of video art here as well as sneak peeks of chapters on channel when we get it up and running. I'll give you channel info when we're all set and have posted our first video.

Thank you so much for choosing my book and I really hope you enjoy.

Come say hi on social media!!
