Update and some wise words.

I told you yesterday about my dear friend Ashly. It seems the lord is answering prayers. Her brain has stopped swelling and the bleeding has stopped as well. They are keeping her in the coma to heal further but the doctors are more optimistic she will wake up.The hard part then will be discovering if there will be lasting affects.

At such a young age Ashly is an extremely talented writer amd it is her passion. So please continue to pray the Lord will see fit to not take that gift away.

I want to leave you with to things a quote Ashly loves, and a link to her wattpad.page if you are interested in checking her stories out.

“The boy you called gay? Committed suicide a while ago.
That girl you called a slut in class today? She’s a virgin.
The boy you called lame? He has to work every night to support his family.
That girl you pushed down the other day? She’s already being abused at home.
That girl you called fat? She’s starving herself.
The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country.
The boy you made fun of for crying? His mother is dying.
You think you know them. But you don’t! “

Another author I think deserves some attention

As I previously stated when I started this blog, Not only was it for book reviews or for my personal writing career; but I also wanted to use this blog to help other authors like myself. I have been a member of wattpad.com for years.

On wattpad.com, there is an author who goes by the name of @Krissy1306. Her name is Krissy.

She is a fairly new author on Wattpad, but her work immediately grabbed my attention.  So I want to help get her some exposure.

An author I think deserves a chance!

Kristy' s Brain Food

As I previously stated when I started this blog, Not only was it for book reviews or for my personal writing career; but I also wanted to use this blog to help other authors like myself. I have been a member of wattpad.com for years.

On wattpad.com, there is an author who goes by the name of @ladydianna01. Her name is Dianna Bell.

She has self-published a few short stories on Amazon, but in my opinion her talent well exceeds that. She needs an agent, and I want to help her get one. Her stories deserve to be viewed by the masses.

She competes in the NaNo..month writing competition repeatedly, and her stories usually win. On wattpad.com, she has numerous completed stories, as well as numerous ones, waiting in the wings for her to start.

I know on LinkedIn, I have made many connections with many agents,editors and publishers…

Synopsis for my book “The Mark”

The Mark by Kristy Grissom

From the moment he walked into the diner, his whole world changed. His sarcastic waitress was his mate. Maddox Coleman future Alpha of the Silver Lake Pack couldn’t believe it. She was everything he could have wanted, and everything he didn’t know he needed; she was a survivor. Except for one thing she was human. No one thought a human could mate a wolf.

Ivey was different than girls her age. She was a loner and never quite fit into what society thought was normal. Ivey’s hasn’t led the life most girls her age do. She has been through so much in her life.

There was so much pain in her eyes that Max couldn’t understand, but he immediately felt the overwhelming possessiveness and the need to protect, that a mate should feel. He wanted to take the pain away. With his wolf riding him hard to make a connection to his mate, Max pretty much forces his way in, like a hurricane into Ivey’s loner lifestyle.

When he finally tells her he’s a wolf and her mate she surprises him and accepts him with open arms. Something deep inside Ivey tells her to trust in Max, and she keeps having deep-rooted feelings she has known the supernatural exists and werewolves play a big part. Only Ivey has blocked much of her painful past and just can’t remember what she knows. Ivey tries to let go of her past and all the pain she’s endured to be happy with Max.

Only when they think they can be happy, Ivey’s past suddenly becomes her present and the mysterious dad that vanished comes back. Only what he has to say will change everything the two have ever thought and turn their lives upside down.

Old prophecies are revealed, and new threats emerge. Can Max save her from going through the pain again? Can her father explain how Max was able to make her his mate or would he try to take her from him?

Also what will happen when a mysterious wolf comes into the picture and changes everything for the two. Follow their story through her pain and heartache and war that can change everyone’s lives forever. Can they survive what the goddess will asked of them? Or will it be too much and the destiny written thousands of years prior fail?

Here’s a link to the first draft ever written of the book
