Thanks, Catrina. I am amazed that the Internet is working right now. I will be teaching here, so I have to prepare some more lesson plans before I can settle into writing, but I will.

Hi, Fellow YA writers! I've been MIA since February. I apologize. Surgery, a tough recovery, and a close death in the family will do that to a person. I've struggled with even getting my own writing done.
I'm back. :))
I wanted to say HELLO to all of the new members. Welcome!! I'll be seeing y'all around the site. :-)

Hi everyone! Quick shout out that this is the last day my debut YA paranormal will be free on Amazon.com. I'd really love the help spreading the word. It's really appreciated :)
Sprite (Annabelle's Story Part One)
Annabelle Walsh thought she had it all. She was the star of her swim team, had a loving family, a great boyfriend, and to top it off, she’d be starting at UCLA in the fall. One day, she’d be referred to as Dr. Annabelle Walsh.
She was living every girl’s dream – until her life was turned upside down. All starting with finding out that she's not just a human, but also a water spirit. Half-human, half-sprite to be exact. Although not just any sprite, Annabelle is prophesied to be the only one who can save both the sprites and mankind.
With a mix of current events, anecdotes from Greek mythology, tidbits of folklore, and Leigh’s own imagination, we join Annabelle in her journey to restore order beneath the sea. Each step of the way her mind, body, and soul are pushed to the limit begging the question, how much can one half-human, half-sprite take?
