LIGHT-YEARS FROM HOLLYWOOD
LIGHT-YEARS FROM HOLLYWOOD, a YA romance novella, explores the darker side of high school.
What is life like when you don’t seem to fit in anywhere? A deaf boy and a homeless girl forge an unusual friendship, learning that acceptance and ultimately love truly conquers all.
Dylan: High school is supposed to be an adventurous four years of exploring the joys of youth and unlimited learning opportunities, right? What a crock! The gifted program is challenging enough without being the only deaf student on campus. I was content with my under-the-radar, nearly invisible existence until a beautiful, blue-eyed freshman sat next to me in Algebra. I had always preferred my loner status until she forced me to see what else life had to offer.
Nikki: I have kept my embarrassing secret for as long as I can remember. Dylan was the only person I ever shared it with, and to my surprise he never judged me. Instead, he was determined to save me even though unforeseen threats lurked around every corner.

SHARING MY HEART
This is my very first blog ... I am not quite sure how it all works, but I'm willing to give it a go if you are! I hope everyone will bear with me and assist me in this daunting endeavor.
My first intr This is my very first blog ... I am not quite sure how it all works, but I'm willing to give it a go if you are! I hope everyone will bear with me and assist me in this daunting endeavor.
My first introduction to the wonderful world of romance novels came when I began working as a beta reader/proofreader for the fabulous Becky Johnson, CEO of Hot Tree Editing, in April of 2013.
In December of 2013, I began writing my first contemporary romance. After completing 175,000+ words, I realized my original plan for one book was NOT realistic. Two books were then planned. However, because trilogies seemed so popular, I took a secondary character from Book 1 (I had secretly fallen in love with him and wasn't willing to let him go) and decided to give him his own story, Book 3.
And that is basically how my trilogy, MY HEART IS YOURS, was born!
Thank you in advance for reading my very first blog entry! Teri
