What if The Lotus Effect were to become a movie or TV series...who would you like to see play Lily and Xander? (Picking an actor for Xander isn't easy!) Let me know what you think. :)

Writing for Book #3, Soul Arbor, has gone swimmingly so far! I've incorporated a lot of research of the wonderfully ancient Nijo Castle of Kyoto. (I'll leave it at that due to spoilers) ANYWAYS, this song is a perfect match to the beginning of Soul Arbor. IF there was ever to be a movie...this would make a hauntingly beautiful opening theme song.

Okay, it's back to writing for me! #amwriting

Ardent Ascension has arrived! 
I have an exciting announcement! As of today, Ardent Ascension is now available for purchase on Amazon in both eBook and paperback formats! Just in time too for The Lotus Effect’s one year anniversary! I’m thrilled to share this news with you as this has been something I've worked long and hard on. I strive to make my characters believable, the world detailed, and the plot deep . . . so like a good wine, the longer it stirred around in my head, the better and more intricate it became. I would be OVERJOYED if you could take a moment to check it out!
Please help spread this news. I’d be forever grateful! 

Thank you for being a part of this happy day!Cheers,Bridget Ladd

I've recently started making my way through Fairy Tail on Netflix . . . IT'S SO CUTE! I'm in love. And to add to the cuteness, it's a great story too! Definitely a feel good anime. ⊂(◉‿◉)つ
Here I am with my Fairy Tail painted tattoo at Dragon*Con this year. It was a last minute costume choice, but I think I'll dress as Lucy come Animazement next spring!
