Lots of people have asked me for advice on writing. And so I thought I'd offer five simple tips that a beginner (or even a more-seasoned) writer might find helpful. Hope you find something useful here.

I'm Marc Espejo, 18, 5'11, Mexican-American. For the kind of generation we have today, I still prefer the old school way when it comes to chivalry and relationships. I'm lucky enough to come across a girl who shares the same preferences. The only problem is: Distance. An 8,309 mi distance.

They are born in the darkness, and they own it like no one else. Anna Johnson stays clear of vampires. She knows what they are capable of. As a witch of the air she is working for the Circle as a researcher, closing her eyes to that which lies in her past. Until one phone call changes everything.

[Complete] "He follows me around like a predator seeking a moment of weakness before he takes down his prey. But his eyes are soft and tell me a different story." Eighteen-year-old Zara is a born and raised African-American city girl. She's always seen the mountains in the distance, but never once set foot in them--until she wakes up one night in the middle of them with a raging thunderstorm overhead and no memory of how she got there. As if her situation couldn't be more terrifying, she finds a wolf staring back at her in the darkness. Just when she thinks she's about to become his next meal, she discovers that he is not what he seems. Despite her weaknesses and limitations in the wilderness, their journey together becomes a test of trust. But when Zara learns the truth, she's not ready to accept it. --- **You will not find the following werewolf clichés here: alpha's my mate, mate rejected me, abused MC, or super-special-rare white wolf.** An adventure that develops into an interracial romance.

I heard the bathroom door opened, and footsteps getting closer and closer. I closed my eyes and started breathing normal, until everything happened so fast, the stall was kicked open. I got pulled out the stall and pushed on the wall. I felt something wet on my cheeks, then noticed I was crying. "M Mr. Ivy-", "Shut up Katie, you're only mine!" he yelled in my face cutting me off. I tried to remove his hands from my wrists, but I was helpless. He was stronger than me. "Mr. Ivy, you're my teacher and I'm a student" I said but he gripped my wrists tighter. I started crying more, when he suddenly slapped my cheek. "Don't ever say that, I'M YOUR MATE!! he said, I just lowered my head, and took the opportunity and kicked him in his 'you know what area' and he let go of me. I started running as fast out of school and into the parking lot. While I was running I had already gotten my car keys out and unlocked the doors.

I jumped on my bed and cried myself to sleep. ******** Enjoy Life with 17 year old Katie. •A book with surprises •Lies •And secrets

He stares into the red depths of her eyes, losing himself to the hunger his body feels. Without thinking he does the one thing that has always been forbidden between his and her kind: He kisses her. ~ ~ ~
