Trailblazer

@kyronthearcanin I can’t tell you how many times I cried reading through the series the first time… after that I knew what was coming, but the first time through was tough. I read those books so fast, too, lol!

@kyronthearcanin Maybe I’ll have to try Starlight if I can find the time!

Oh back to the favorite characters- I forgot about Professor Hamilton, but he’s definitely one of my favorites, too! I have so many good quotes from him because he’s just so full of wisdom.

@kyronthearcanin

I haven’t read either of those; I do have the Time Echoes trilogy, and it was good but I didn’t like it as much. My cousin read the Starlight series but she said she didn’t think they were as good, either, and I just never took the time to try it. Ironically, I’m not normally a sci-fi fan, but I fell in love with the whole…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin Oh I know, I’m not normally the type of person to reread books but I’ve reread these so many times!

I agree, Walter is definitely the best male character… I love his jokes! I like Billy, too, but Walter’s jokes give him the upper hand lol.

Bones of Makaidos is probably the best of the books… the whole Oracles of Fire series…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Even just that character description makes me want to read the story!

@kyronthearcanin I’ve read all three! I own the first two series and I want to buy the third one as well.

I think Bonnie is probably my favorite, but Ashley is a close second for me, too.

Do you have a favorite of all the books?

@hybridlore I’ll keep posting more when I have time!

Dropping some more of the story… here we go with some more of the journey! It needs more work, but this is what I’ve got so far….

The next morning we were up before dawn again, starting another day of endless walking. This continued to be our pattern for the remainder of the week. It rained on our fourth day of the…[Read more]

It looks like we only have one female character here thus far, so I believe it is time to announce mine!

Meet Kari Brock, age 16. She’s 5’4″, with delicate features, shoulder-length blond hair, and deep blue eyes. She is quiet and dreamy and values deep, close relationships,…[Read more]

Maybe I’ll have to jump in on this! I’ve never done one of these before, but the costume party idea sounds fun!

@savannah_grace2009 Joke’s on me, I forgot I put it in the first sentence! But if you aren’t paying attention, it’s easy to miss. It’s vague, and you’d have to assume she was living there since she was born, so I should probably clarify that a little, but it’s there.

“A dull ache filled my heart as I took a last look around the house I had called…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 No, that’s a good question! I didn’t even realize I missed that, but she’s thirteen here at the beginning of the story.

@grcr I know several others already commented on this, but I wanted to add one more thing about the descriptions that might help. Given that this is the first chapter of your book, I think it would be helpful to find a way to start it off with more action, or some way to hook the reader. It didn’t pull me in very well, but once I got past the…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 sure! That sounds cool!

@savannah_grace2009 That is so good! So well written, and it makes me want to read more!

@freedomwriter76 That’s fun! I have a contemporary fiction that’s a meshing of the lives of several girls, and I’ve been trying to figure out if I can keep it that way or if I need to split it and write each of them their own book in a series. I started it a number of years ago but now I’ve been looking at it and thinking that I have too many main…[Read more]

@lydia-s that is so sweet! Don’t throw it out!

@freedomwriter76 Definitely!

I had some ideas about starting a series to include the different historical fiction WIPs (maybe they’d be part of the same family line or something) but we’ll see what happens with that. At this point I think they’re probably better as stand-alone.
