About
If you had asked me five years ago, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" I can guarantee I would have never said, "I'll be a writer..." It was never something that I thought was for me. I never thought I was any good at it, or that I would ever have the patience to write a whole book. I found I had a knack for it in 2012 and went with it. With tons of support from family and friends, I began to write my novel in November 2012 for NaNoWrMo. The goal is to get fifty thousand words in a month from Nov 1 to 30th. I started late and I am the worst procrastinator ever, but somehow I finished early and hit sixty thousand words by the end of it. I took a break for the holidays since I hit that lovely writer block for the ending, then came back with fresh eyes and continued. By March 2013, I was completely finished. Now, it is in the process of being edited for publication by Secret Cravings publishing. I have four other works in progress and plan to continue to write as long as my brain gives me ideas.
A King Under Siege: Book One of The Plantagenet Legacy
Description
<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>
Story Behind The Book
It's a long one actually. What started out as an idea for a movie by my mother, I turned into a novel with many more twists and turns in loving memory of her.
Reviews
