Accept that rejection is a part of being a writer. You will always face rejection. Even the most famous writers still face rejection.

Clandestine by Hannah Rials by Valarie Budyr It's extremely surreal to celebrate the first birthday of my second book, which means Ascension is nearly two years old!
But really, these stories are much older to me than just two years. I started writing the story that would become Ascension when I was twelve years old. This was after blitz reading Twilight and Vampire Academy and House of Night and Blue Bloods. I attribute my writing caree Read more of this blog post »

3.5 - love a good witchy, ghosty murderous mystery. Could be because I listened to it but I didn’t seem to tune into the world building very much other then there were suddenly monsters. But I liked the premise enough to listen to it quickly!
