about me


I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain...
Just kidding (well, the first is true, the second has conditions)
I do like reading, writing, and spending time with my family, not always in that order. Writing is a great escape, as my fictional children almost always do what I tell them, unlike my real life children.

I enjoy giving and receiving constructive critiques, and I will always return a read. I try to read beyond the first chapter to get a better feel for where the story is going. If you want to swap chapters, just message me.

Kate LaRue

Marielle would do anything for her brother, but what she does with a deeply buried secret could destroy them both.


Seventeen year-old Marielle struggles with the grief of losing her parents while trying to shelter her younger brother. All she really wants is to be left alone, but two boys at school have other plans. Aaron is determined to get to know her better, while Lucca presumes to know her better than she knows herself.

The surrounding wilderness has always been Marielle’s haven, but the woods are no longer safe. Young women are disappearing, and Marielle begins fainting and having strange dreams, dreams which draw her closer to Lucca even as he is implicated in the disappearances. The stakes are higher than just her life, and not everyone is who they appear to be. She must find the strength to face her own secret before it’s too late. After losing nearly everyone she loves, she will face a choice that could separate her from the only one she has left.

 

The Last Day

Kate LaRue

If you could relive one day, do just one thing different, would you?


Jason is in love with the girl next door. Cara is running from her problems. All actions have consequences. When the truth comes out, two teens must decide whether to follow their hearts or let fear rule their decisions. Both choices stand to change their lives forever, and in ways they never imagined.

YALF Sorry this is coming in a bit late. I'm afraid I don't really have a lot to offer in the way of critique. I've read through chapter 4-Therizodactylus. There are some good descriptions, and you have done well in describing the setting, and even the different creatures that inhabit this world.... view book

YALF/YARG review-Gruesome Paradise Luis, Here is my YALF review of the first three autho chapters Prologue There is so much action here, which is great, and intrigue with Malkrow swearing allegiance to the demon king. There is a lot to wonder about these two characters and their roles in this ... view book

Return Read–Cold Grey Jacoba, Sorry it has taken me so long to return the comment. I've read through chapter 6, and really have nothing in the way of critique to offer. This is a different spin on the Snow White fairy tale, and it is refreshing to see the dwarf's point of view. I like what you'v... view book

YARG/return read Jessica, Sorry it has taken so long for me to comment. I have read the first chapter, and this seems like an interesting idea, with Gwen learning to harness her powers and make potions, etc. Maggie seems like a good mentor/teacher. I feel like there is a lot of telling in thi... view book

YALF/YARG review This is an interesting first chapter. You start with the excitement of a boy galloping across the meadow. Samuel is a satisfyingly rebellious teen, pushing the limits on his very first ride, first going beyond the meadow, then past the lake and up the mountain. While the ride... view book
