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!

First Post!

Welcome, y'all! I'm Abby, and I'm so glad you dropped by!      You can read more about me here . I spent a lot of time working on that page, and I don't want to go through that again...      I made this blog to mostly be about bookish stuff - book reviews, behind-the-scenes looks at my writing, blog tours for online friends, etc. And tags. Because I just love tags.       Now, to be honest, this blog wasn't even my idea - my dad suggested it. And it wouldn't have been possible without his help - and a whole lot of encouragement and suggestions from my incredible friend, SawyerMarie (she's also a great blogger - you can find her blog, Sundrop Girls, here ). Sawyer, this probably wouldn't be happening right now without you. Thanks, girl. I'm so glad God let us become friends. 💙     I'm hoping to post at least once or twice a week, but, never having done this before, I'm not making any promises. 😊     Also - this blog i...

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...

A Bunch of Random Announcements

Well, as you (should have) gathered from the title, I don't have just one thing I'm posting about today. 😊 Instead, I have a—well, a bunch of random announcements. Let's begin, shall we? My New Work-in-Progress I'm excited to announce my new WIP! It's called Edge of the Shadows , and, if things go as planned, it might turn out to be a good bit longer than Warrior . Though I LOVE the dystopian genre (dystopian stories: futuristic stories set in a society that's pretty screwed-up; aka, probably just about every futuristic story you've heard of), I've never written much in it. The idea for Shadows  came to me one night, and I figured it would be just one more of those stories I thought about for a few weeks and then tossed aside. But I made the "mistake" of telling a couple of my friends and writing buddies about it . . . and one of them, especially, was crazy supportive of the idea (and she's still this story's biggest fan and has read h...
