Official Book Preview

The moment you have all been waiting for is here!! Here is the first 3 chapters of my book, I can’t say its the official published version, but I think it’s pretty close. Please follow the link to read it. If you’d like to leave me feedback or if you find any typos please let me know what you think in the comments! So far I’ve received positive comments so I hope you all enjoy it!! It’s a YA sci-fi/fantasy novel.

Thanks to some awesome feedback from a fellow author I was able to re-vamp the book description, so without further ado, here is my preview of The Becoming, first book in the Oblivion series.

After spending her whole life moving around, Alice Heatherly is looking forward to a fresh start. When she moves to a new city for her first year of university she wants nothing more than to put down some roots and make friends but instead she meets Dawson. With one word from him — Ignea — her whole life is upended. When she is attacked by a red-eyed shadow and finds herself caught in an ancient battle between two warring realms — one that consumes worlds, and one trying to defend them — she begins to question her own sanity. Soon her whole existence comes into question, and she is faced with a decision she doesn’t have an answer to. Her one salvation is Dawson, the only person she can trust, but when he is pitted against the very forces he works for Alice can’t be sure she’ll make it out alive.

***UPDATE Feb 3, 2014***

Chapter 2 is undergoing some restructuring so I am taking down this version temporarily. I’m hoping to have the re-vamped preview available by the end of the week. If you’ve found yourself here thanks for your interest! I hope you’ll come back to see the new and improved version!

***UPDATE Mar 1, 2014***

In the off chance you’ve found yourself here, I have officially updated my book preview of chp 1-3. It is posted on my main page now. It is also available via shortlink on my Facebook and Twitter pages.

Update, Chp 1-3 preview

Over the past week I’ve been working really hard to get the first 3 chapters completed! I know I’m really close!! For the first time I have read through everything and not changed a single thing!! I have now sent my 3 completed chapters out for review to 4 people, to garner opinions on completeness. If all goes well I’m hoping to have them posted somewhere public so that people can actually read a preview of my book! This is a seriously exciting concept for me! Yes I feel nervous that people will be able to read and judge, but I certainly didn’t write the thing for it to sit on my shelf and collect dust. I will be moving on to chapters 4-6 this week. Since the book is so long I’m finding it much easier to edit in 3 chapter chunks. I will try and keep my posts to once a week during this time.

Between trying to keep up with people who don’t live on a computer screen, working full time and editing this book my blogger life has really been suffering. I miss coming on here and writing. When I get to the tough stuff I might post a bit more out of pure frustration (sometimes its just hard to find the words). I will let you know as soon as my preview is available though. I think the only thing greater than loving your characters, is when other people also love your characters, lol. I want to make characters that you can love, and that you care about. Characters that, when something good or bad happens, you legitimately feel something for them, whether its happy, sad or angry, I want to be able to evoke that kind of emotion with my writing!

So I’m excited and I hope you’re excited too! Someone needs to be excited with me!!
