Like a Warrior

 

"There is a warrior inside of me. If only I could find her."

Briannon, fiery heiress of Zayvia, is left in the ashes when an invading army and a fervent revolution rage across her once peaceful land. Alongside the peasant she knows as a brother and the shadowy revolutionary leading the fight, she takes a stand against both her pompous uncle and the cunning raiders. But when everything she loves begins to crash and burn, Briannon has a choice: admit defeat or rise like a warrior.

    Abby, could I be a beta reader for your story? Sometime last year, I began to LOVE fantasy books a LOT! I'd love to read this book. :D

      Hi, Hannah! I would love to have you as one, but I do have several people already signed up. 😕 If you want to drop a comment with your email address (I'll won't post it, I'll just see it come up for approval and I'll delete it), though, I can make a note of it! That way if I end up needing another beta reader, I can contact you!

      Hi, Hannah! I saw your other comments go through, but I won't publish them here. :)
      But - I did see that you have a blog listed on your profile - if you have comment moderation turned on there, I can drop a comment with a link to a Google Doc (you can click on the link but not publish the comment). Then I could give you all the info there, and then drop another comment if I need another beta reader. In that case, I could put the story in our shared Doc. You wouldn't ever need to give me your email, that way (I have two other readers that I contact like that).
      That's the only other way I'd know of. :)

    Hi Abby -

    I really like your story collages. I'm thinking about making a story collage for a book of mine, but I'm not that tech savvy. :) How do you make them? Thanks!

      Hi!!! Thank you!
      So - I use a website called Canva. They have thousands of stock photos built in! You can just find the photos you want, just the "adjust" tab to filter them so they have a similar look, and then arrange them how you want!

Character #3: Hawke

  Welcome to our third character interview!!!  Today, I'm interviewing Hawke, Briannon's brother and — at times — Maverek's nemeses. Yep. Just leaving that right there. Here we go! Abby: Hey, Hawke! Thanks for letting me interview you! Hawke: Hello. *shifts in seat* Please tell me this isn't going to take too long? Abby: Nope, I'll keep it short! Hawke: *smiles* Short like Bree and Maverek's? Abby: Fine. *rolls eyes* I'll keep yours even shorter, so long as you give me good answers to the questions I do ask. Hawke: Deal. Abby: What's your name mean? Hawke: You expect me to know? It's a bird. Just a bird. Abby: *smiles* Okay, we'll go with that. Theme song? Hawke: "Til the Day I Die" by TobyMac. Abby: Yeah, we're going to need to work on that . . . I feel like you have another theme song that you just don't want to share. Hawke: *cocks eyebrow and grins* Keeping this short, remember? We only have time for one theme song. Abby: Fi...

Character #2: Maverek // Blogging Schedule

 Hey! I haven't even posted since the blog tour (which was so much fun!), but I'm finally back with the next character interview and what I *hope* will be a blogging schedule I can keep up with! First off, the schedule: I'm going to try to post every Tuesday morning, with posts on Fridays sometimes. With school, writing, and life . . . who knows how often those Friday posts will come. Now, on to interviewing Maverek! He isn't overly thrilled about this, but he agreed to try. *sighs* Finally. Here goes! Abby: Hey, Maverek! I'm so glad you could come! Maverek: *smiles slightly* Only because you and Briannon begged me. Abby: Well, I appreciate it! I'll try to keep this shorter than Bree's. Maverek: Thank you. Abby: Okay, to start us off, what does your name mean? Maverek: In your time, it means "independent." I think that meaning was invented somewhat recently, though. Abby: I think so. But, hey, it fits you! Maybe too well. Maverek: I suppose it does...
