I will be doing a series of posts, giving you insider info on how I wrote DEFY, where the story came from, deleted scenes, and more! In fact, I might even post a scene or two from a different POV. Like maybe...Rylan. Or even Damian. Intrigued? Then stay tuned and keep checking back! And feel free to comment or ask questions--I'll do my best to answer!

Clara is the picture of pious perfection at St. Jude's Academy: obedient, quiet, and wrapped in her signature brown pleated skirt, white sweater, and hair bows. But beneath her innocent facade lies a fierce intellect and a crushing crisis of faith. When she catches the attention of Professor Julian Vance-a cunning, older literature teacher who blurs the line between mentor and manipulator-she finds herself drawn into a dangerous, forbidden dynamic. Trapped between strict Catholic tradition and a man who loves dissecting her doubts, Clara doesn't know who she is anymore.

This is my contribution to the prompts the mods/admins were giving us the month of April for Worlds)(Collide. Which is why I wasn't updating anything else, so I thought you should know. Worlds)(Collide is a mashup thing for The 39 Clues, Infinity Ring and Spirit Animals. At the end of the month, the editors will be combining everyone's entries into one huge awesome mashup story! (That will become an ebook!) These were my responses to the prompts. (I don't own the characters, yada yada yada. Or the cover image.)

When it comes to urban exploring, people usually go in search of one thing. That thing may be treasure. Maybe the thrill of adventure. They could be searching for answers to the unanswered questions of the past. They could search for likes, views, and even money. But when Jalakin and her best friend, Hannah, decided to explore an abandoned Victorian mansion, they found something even crazier than still water or black mold. They found a portal to another world! What adventures await? Join Jalakin as she goes on a journey with magic, monsters, danger, excitement, elves, robots, found family & identity, romance, battles, courage, rogue faes, and, to top it all off, a force that she and her friends MUST overthrow. When adventure calls, nobody is able to resist, especially when something good could come out of it. That's what everyone says, but is it true? We'll have to see... DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Amulet series. All rights go to Kazu Kibuishi aside from the OCs.

These are the 3 poems that got me an honorable mention in the scholastic writing contest. They are not my best work, because those are usually really depressing and they wouldn't take me seriously if I submitted something like that.

Hello! This is a practical work that won an "Honorable Mention" reward in the Scholastic Art and Writing competition, 2024-2025 year.

Once upon a time my brother and I were normal kids. The next minute? A mirror slurped us up and magically transported us inside Snow White's fairy tale. Then we stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Hooray! Or not. If Snow White doesn't die, she won't meet her prince or get her happy ending. Oops. Now it's up to us to fix Snow White's story. And then, fingers crossed, find our way home.
