Update: What I am Working On

So I realized that it has been awhile since I updated you all on what exactly I am writing! You know, the entire point of this blog ;0) So here's whats under construction:

YA Novels:

Untitled - Hannah, Molly and Claire are less than a week away from graduating from Willow Heights High School; the moment they had all been waiting on for the last four years. But when the three show up late and miss the only bus headed to the camp where Senior Day is being held, they have no choice but to squeeze into Hannah's old clunker of a car and attempt to make it on time to Graduation practice. However, one wrong turn and a few car issues later, the girls are left wandering around an old, abandoned park...or so it seems.
Through this magical and thrill packed story... Hannah, Molly and Claire are taken on a journey through a mystical world that sets their imagination on fire. But when they are told they can only remain for so long before being trapped forever, the adventure soon becomes a race against time. The girls have one chance to escape through a porthole on the other side of the realm, but it only opens once every 400 years and getting there requires facing many obstacles that occur along the way. Will the girls find the porthole in time? Better yet, will they even make it to graduation?


Untitled - Jilly is 15 years old and different from most kids her age...or is she? She's scrawny, nerdy, and has a hard time fitting in anywhere. So when her new homeroom teacher informs her that she has 2 weeks to pick an extracurricular activity (required for all Freshmen) before the school counselor assigns her one, life gets even more complicated. The problem is, Jilly doesn't fit in any of the groups available at River City Heights High. But with the help of her new, mysterious friend, the school's Beaver Mascot, Bucky, Jilly creates a list of clubs that might work and sets out on a misson to find out where she belongs. In a world of change and learning how to grown-up, Jilly soon finds herself discovering that sometimes it takes being brave enough to be different to fit in. (This description is still very rough as I am just in the very beginning stages of writing this and the characters are still coming to me and I am still figuring out her story. I can tell you she is insanely sarcastic and funny! This has been fun to work on so far)!

Untitled- This novel is still very, very rough and mostly compiled of notes and short clips of writing so far. I think I am going to make you wait for this description just for fun! I will tell you it has to do with love... life and all the fun stories along the way! It'll be interesting! More on this romance comedy later!
Picture Books

Various- I am playing around with a few different picture book ideas and editing what I have, nothing solid enough to write about just yet!
