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.

But when everything she loves begins to crash and burn, Briannon has a choice: admit defeat or rise like a warrior.

  2. 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

    1. 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!

    2. 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. :)

  3. 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!

    1. 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!

Fonts & Titles: Book Cover Design Crash Course - Part 1

Welcome to day one in my new three-part series!  For three Tuesdays in a row, I want to share some tips about the incredible art of designing book covers. I've spent hours and hours researching, observing, critiquing, experimenting with, stressing over, and having fun with book cover design. And I'm still not tired of it. Matter of fact, I spent hours yesterday making sample covers for this blog post, knowing full and well that there wasn't even a story to go with any of them. However, for a lot of y'all, stressing for hours over the perfect book cover probably  isn't  your idea of fun.  But that doesn't mean you get to skip doing it. I know that a lot of people will tell you that you should always  hire a professional to create your cover. And I'm not saying that isn't a good idea.  But I know that professional book covers are expensive, and that a lot of indie authors don't have a couple hundred dollars lying around to buy one. So, hopefully, I can

Like a Warrior: Update

I promised an update for my novel, Like a Warrior  - and here it is!!! * * * I finally have a timeline and roadmap for publication!!!!!! To all of my beta readers, who signed up months ago and have put up with all of my shifting timelines and long messages - thank you!!! You can expect your e-copy of LAW on or before February 19th! After that, I'll sort through beta feedback, make my revisions, send it off to an editor, and then . . .  It'll be time for a cover reveal! I'm aiming to do the cover reveal in early May, and I'll put more information about that out closer to time. After that - blog tour! I'm planning to run the blog tour from June 11th-18th.  And then, on June 18th - Publish my novel!!!! 💙 I know that's nearly five months from now, but, trust me, I have a LOT of work to do. 😂 Not only on revisions, but with publicity and marketing and such. And putting a hard date out there for the world to see . . . scares me. But it also gives me a lot  more acco

7 Days of Hope - Blog Tour

 Hey, y'all!  Short post today, but I had something I wanted to share with y'all! 💙      My amazing friend SawyerMarie had an idea...and we worked together on it until it turned into something awesome: a week-long blog tour!
