I just started writing within the past couple of years. Actually, I have written all my life - odds and ends mostly and nothing from beginning to end.
My first book - Sanctity was written with my daughter in mind and though I really thought the first edition was something to be proud of it wasn't very well received. I pulled it apart and rewrote a great deal of it - new chapters a new ending and removed whatever I could that wasn't completely relevant to the story to freshen it up. It did much, much better afterwards and though it is no longer something I would want my daughter to read, I still consider it hers.
I do my best to tell my stories in a highly visual way hoping they read more like a script or a movie than a book. Though I write paranormal fiction my main focus is the story itself. My objective is to appeal to readers of all genres and I do my best to keep away from any stereo-typical overloads with that in mind.
I have published my second book now - Vivienne: The Lost and Found and am working on my third - Haeven which I hope to have done near the end of the year. I am very proud of Vivienne and the number of reads and likes it has gotten here on WattPad (thank you to everyone who followed, read and voted for it). For me the story just seemed to have a life of it's own and pretty much just wrote itself.
If you enjoyed either of those works - Sanctity or Vivienne, please consider following Haeven as well. I work on it nearly every day and post the chapters as soon as they are done.
