Amwriting Stories

BENEATH THE DARKNESS In the hidden kingdom of Anthera, life beneath the human world has always followed its own order. Until something begins to change. When the balance of the colony is disturbed, trust is tested, friendships are strained, and questions begin to emerge where there were once only certainties. As the kingdom struggles to hold itself together, no one realizes how deeply the past is connected to what is happening now. Some truths are forgotten. Some are misunderstood. And some are better left buried. Trust nothing you see. The truth lies beneath.

Beginning Again: My Writing Journey What if beginning again isn't about starting from nothing-but finally learning how to use what you've already had all along? I've wanted to write books for years. I've created characters, imagined stories, built relationships, and watched entire scenes unfold in my head. I've even written some of them. But wanting to write a book and actually knowing how to write one are two very different things. So, I'm beginning again. Beginning Again: My Writing Journey is my personal journey of learning how to write digital books-from understanding the craft and discovering my strengths and weaknesses, to practicing scenes, developing characters, building story universes, and learning how to turn the stories in my head into words on a page. This isn't a finished writer teaching you how to write. This is me learning. There will be lessons. There will be exercises. There will be old stories revisited. There will probably be mistakes. And hopefully, there will be growth. One lesson. One exercise. One chapter at a time. And somewhere along the way, I'll be preparing myself to finally write the stories I've been carrying with me for years. This is where I begin again. Begin. Bloom. Become.

**NEW BOOK** I shrugged, trying to play it off nonchalant, "it's fine, no worries." Emmett smiled for a moment, then his gaze began scanning the room aimlessly, trying to avoid the slight awkwardness. Emmett was very attractive, aside from the gorgeous eyes he had and strong build and gentle face. Maybe it was bad timing to be attracted to some guy immediately after rejecting another, I mean seriously it was like straight from a cheesy movie, but there was something... different about him. Emmett was warm and kind, but with a slight mystery about him that drew me in... BUT, JESUS, I JUST MET THE GUY! He turned back to me, "so... um, you already know my name, what's yours?" I paused a second, unsure whether or not to go the mysterious route or not, but I figured it was better to just be straightforward. "Andrea, Andrea Davenport. But, call me Andy, that's what I usually go by." "Well, Andy, I'm Emmett, Emmett Clayton." ----- Hey guys so, basically, I've decided to restart the entire book because I just have bad memories associated with the last and would like the start with a clean slate. I will re-publish new chapters into this book, but I really need to start with a new book and will probably referencing the old for inspiration, but hopefully, they won't be too similar. LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS TRULY! Also, I do hope to make a book for restricted chapters at some point because I do want to keep this book at least PG-13 if possible. Winner of the 2017 Sparkling Awards

Blackmoor is not the sort of place that appears on ordinary maps. It is a small town where the rain never seems to stop, strange things happen in the shadows, and magic is as much a part of everyday life as the old stone streets beneath your feet. Fifteen-year-old Alex Devalie has lived at Hollowmere Orphanage for as long as she can remember. She has no family, no memories of the life she had before the orphanage, and no idea why she was left there. But Alex has always known there was something different about her. When strange things begin happening around Blackmoor, Alex finds herself drawn into a world she never knew existed a world of forgotten secrets, mysterious people and magic far older than she could have imagined. The more she discovers, the more she begins to wonder about the one thing she has never been able to remember: Who was she before Hollowmere? And why does it seem that someone has been waiting for her to remember?

They were never just friends, but they never said it out loud. In a city that forgets its people faster than they forget each other, Aanya and Vihaan navigate the fragile space between almost-love and almost-letting-go. Through midnight texts, missed chances, and silences that say too much, THE THINGS WE NEVER SAID is a slow-burning story of two souls learning that sometimes, the loudest feelings are the ones left unspoken.

Now she has one year to decide to stay or sell. To make things more interesting, she meets the foreman, Romeo Russo. He's the most handsome, infuriating man she's ever met, but together they're like oil and water. When strange accidents start happening on the farm, they have to work together to solve the mystery. Can they find common ground as things heat up? As the year comes to an end, will she make the right choice? This is my entry in the Harlequin #SYTYCW15 contest! I've stepped out of my usual cowboy romance writer mindset for this book. It's set in Tuscany and has been truly mind blowing as I've learned so much about Italy in the research for this book. Come check it out and take a trip with me to one of the most beautiful places on earth! Don't forget to fall in love with Romeo, I did ;)
