@AmyMNewman holy cow. Our books have the same name. Finding Home. I thought i was the only one.

Amy! Hi, I love your books. I was wondering if you could potentially help me with writing tips?! I'm trying to start fresh on a couple stories before reposting them (so I kept the old ones up) but I would like to advance farther. Any tips?

Hey Amy, how've you been?  What's new with you and your writing these days?

I posted my entire YA novel on Wattpad. I'm not sure how long I will have it up! Enjoy it while it's there! https://www.wattpad.com/story/54830244-shattered
          
          SHATTERED
          Ever since Leah’s alcoholic mom ran off to pursue her dream of becoming a Hollywood starlet, Leah has spent her whole life trying to keep the rest of her family together, and her best friend and boyfriend, Cody, safe from his own alcoholic and abusive parent. Well, that and doing her best to make her dream of designing haute couture come true.
          
          But when Leah’s brother, Brandon, comes home from a photography assignment in Iraq with his legs broken into a million pieces by a roadside bomb, Leah’s safe and tidy world begins to unravel. Leah can only watch as the people she loves skid out of control, as she begins to understand that she can’t convince someone to want to live, or that their life has value. But she’ll have to find a way, or two of the people she loves more than anything might slip away from her forever.

Hey Amy....I really thought it was down to between you and Fallon, but I really hope you'll shop "Finding Home" around and get that baby on a bookshelf!  I loved the book!!!  Glad to see you're still writing.....I've pretty much lost all my creative mojo.  Hope to get it back soon! :)

I started a new YA novel on Wattpad. Let me know what you think!
