Life in Portland
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but since I'm off Facebook for a long time and since my phone was purposely shut off as well, I think I will post more stuff here:)
As some of you know, I recently moved to Portland, Oregon, from my hometown, Anchorage, Alaska.
I have my own place, an okay job, am enrolled in some classes, and adopted a stray black cat named Bobby. He is the best son ever and I love him to death.
As for my trilogy, the 2nd book is almost done with the editing, I've just been so hectic with school and work and getting my life on track. I've also been working out constantly and eating healthy and doing cleanses (most of the time)
I have a few side projects too I've been working on, like the book A Desperate Road with my co-author and best friend, who lives in San Francisco, (almost done) and also a messed up love story, called, Inject Me To Sleep.
So lots of stuff going on. No news for an author tour anytime soon, as I'm trying to shape up the 2nd book and focus on school. I'm working on getting my masters degree in Creative Writing after I get my bachelors in English.
My life is going going going.
I also am writing this because since my Facebook is shut off for a while as well as my phone,the only way to get ahold of me is my author account here through message, OR a faster way to chat with me is my email at prettyunlikelytrilogy@gmail.com
Thanks guys and look forward to hearing from you:)
P.S., if you would like a copy of my first book Pretty Unlikely: Bloody Extended Edition on PDF, I can email it to you :)

REVISED SYNOPSIS FOR PRETTY UNLIKELY: BLOODY EXTENDED EDITION
Come take a crazy ride down to the Buckeye state, where you will find a headstrong teenage girl named Anna, encounter a journey full of supernatural and crazy situations. Ripped away from her small hometown, Anna is forced to face and reveal happenings around every corner when she moves to Cleveland. Whether it's dealing with her young and crazy mother or encountering things making hostile noises in her bedroom. This haunting tale shows Anna that human society is more to hate than the supernatural and she may or may not have a dark hidden secret...or two. In a world where vampires and werewolves do not exist for once, join Anna on her whimsical adventure. An adventure where she'll release the judged and tormented supernatural, while head-butting with the shallow society we live in today...cops in particular. If you love stories that teach valuable lessons about diversity and accepting those who are different than others, you'll be in for a treat.
Some Delightful News
Hello all,
It's yours truly, here for a little blog update. :)
Apologies for my second book's delay, but my life has literally been a hectic non-stop rollercoaster of a ride. I have been working two jobs, three including writing, going to the gym like crazy, and prepping for school again. End of September, I've decided to push my fears away and go back to school. I've decided to go all the way. I'm going to get my Master's Degree in Creative Writing to become a better-crafted author, to teach high school and/or college english and writing classes, AND just for the sake of completing something I actually wanna do. I am very proud of this decision and I cannot wait to inspire others and help my future students out. In regards to my Pretty Unlikely Trilogy, the first one, well, the special edition first one, is about forty pages from being complete with the editing and the second book is about 75 pages done from the edits. I apologize with the delays but I've had a huge plateful with juggling jobs, finances, keeping a roof under my head, and getting my life together. I hope you all are ready for a treat, as my revised edition of the first book will be released in a few weeks and you ALL get a free PDF copy in exchange for a review. I've spent another good year working on the edits, as the last batch of reviews really helped me out. I can't afford an editor, however, I have been able to get a few friends with degrees take a look at it in addition to my own eyes. :) You have no idea how much writing means to me and the feedback I receive, whether it's good or bad. I've been writing since the age of 5, when I was in the back of the rental car, complaining about how boring the drive was to Cedar Point, this amusement park in Ohio. If my mother hadn't given me a piece of paper and pen, telling me to write, I don't know if I would have gotten into the groove so early with the art of writing.
It's what I want to do, feel, and breathe. Everything about writing is beautiful to me. The poetic tint to it, the make-believe characters who come to life with each page turned, the magical layout of the author's own fantasy from their dreams and imaginative thoughts...everything about writing inspires me to do well in this craft. I hope you all follow me in my journey and support authors like me who are indie and unrecognized. I support locals and indies and so should you ;)

a Release of Accomplishment
Tonight, Pretty Unlikely: Bloody Extended Edition will be complete, remastered, and available for my fans to read. I can't believe I wrote a book where I can actually escape my reality. Words cannot describe how deeply I feel about the characters I've created. Each one is held dearly to my heart and without them, I don't know if I would be completely sane. After molding them into who they are, whether it's from alcohol down my throat, tears producing from a bad day, or getting a strike of motivation, they've been there for me when no one else was. When I want out of my reality, I can get lost in Anna's crazy world of mishaps, Shirley's mommy drama, Tanner's bad boy ways, Bobby's restraining past, or Isaiah's unfortunate fate. I love my characters so much. Together, we will make this trilogy worth while.
