An awkward wizard. An aspiring
ballerina. And a dark god with a wicked vendetta.

Clyde Blitzkurr is devastated. Rejected by every reputable magic academy in the
realm, this seventeen-year-old aspiring wizard resolves to make his sister’s
dream come true. But things take a turn when a demon tries to kill him.

Aylee Blitzkurr’s deepest desire is at hand. Accepted to the most prestigious
dance academy, this sixteen-year-old ballerina is a breath away from becoming a
principal dancer. But when her brother’s life is threatened, and ghosts start
leaving cryptic messages, fighting for Clyde’s wellbeing takes precedence.

The siblings begin to uncover dangerous secrets connecting them to a vengeful
god. Neither is safe. Clyde must grasp the untapped power he possesses. Aylee
must discover the courage to face her darkest fears. If they do not, they will
lose more than their lives … they will miss their destiny. And the realms are
counting on them.

and the paranormal. Find mermaids, demons, dragon shifters, elves, wizards,

A day in your writing life.

I’d say it’s the same old boring routine… but it honestly is NOT. (I write YA fantasy for crying out loud. And I LOVE IT!)

So let’s see, I’m up around 7. 

Pretty quickly after, I down some coffee and try to get in “the zone”.

My husband helps prepare our kid-o for school, and I tend to walk on the treadmill to help that coffee kick in. 

At the same time, I like to pull up a few writer affirmation videos on YouTube to get me in the creative mindset, which works VERY quickly for me. (These are my top picks that I listen to almost every day. Affirmations for writers 🡺 https://youtu.be/5M2GIUFmdLc  and I Am A GREAT WRITER 🡺 https://youtu.be/vOyJuwKK7XQ (this one I usually just listen to the List Of Affirmations at: 3:58)

After that, I’ll sneak a quick breakfast to keep my brain from screaming that it wants food more than it wants some of that fantasy magic action. 

Then ba-bam! I’m at my desk mulling over my current manuscript. I tend to start with going over the chapter I wrote the day before. Then I’ll map out the next chapter as a sort of jumbled batch of notes in a note book. (I’m now digital and using OneNotes on my iPad with my apple pen. It’s heaven!)

During writing time, I shoot for about 1000-2000 words a day now, then “pull the pen” at around noon to start in on marketing. 

In the evening, if my chapter is finished (which tends to happen every other day) my husband will read it back to me, and we will discuss the events, the flow, and any need for changes.  

I absolutely love the way my husband and I dive into my work in progress together. It gives us a lot to talk about, and, since my stories are action packed and full of twists, we never run out of things to say. 

Fun Note* In case you’re wondering, my husband is not a writer himself. He’s not even a reader. 🤪 BUT he did grow up in acting and has a keen sense of creativity and inner knowing for stories. 🖤
