Well, here we are. I've been blogging and had this page up for about two years, and now I'm completely restarting it.
One day, I was sitting around and found myself opening a new Microsoft Word document, a fresh, clean slate, and started my entire first novel over. Why? Well, I started writing this book when I was maybe 11 years old, and some of the writing in there was still my 11-year-old writing, which is NOT publishable. I've never been super happy with the first few chapters, and those are almost always what a literary agent is going to see and make their judgement based on, so I decided to rewrite!
Because of all this, I am re-writing and revising this first novel, and I plan to send out query letters to agents over the summer. You'll be updated, I promise!
What will this first book be about? It's a middle-grade fantasy novel about a girl named Allyn Turner, who is transported to a world called Iorlh and finds herself dealing with a stubborn royal snob, a grumpy amnesiac, and a lack of electricity--but at least there is functional plumbing. Oh, and there's also an evil sorcerer.
