A Beginning

Cammi's Story:

I have one book that I'm presenting at a writer's conference in mid-May at the Colorado Christian Writer's Conference (CCWC). It's called Cammi's Story and it's book one of the Lethana Series. It will be a series of 12 books (at least). Whether I get them published with a reputable publisher, self-publish, or start to tell you the story on this blog, they will be written. It's a series I feel passionate about and have fallen in love with and cannot wait to share it with you.

In the next couple of days, I'll share a one-page book proposal with you. For now, here's what you need to know about it:

Cammi and Ramey find themselves in a strange fantastical world called Lethana while they're asked to recover the Lost Volumes.

Did I hook you yet?

Don't worry. I will work on that aspect. Let me know.

Tanpres:

I also have a series about a dragon, which I will share with you. I need to get back into it after working on other projects.

Zeagar:

This is a new series I'm working on at the moment and just came up with the idea two days ago. Here's the tease:

Five teens are asked by the U.S. government to explore other planets within the Zeagar Galaxy and to write up reports/blogs about their experiences.

James Patterson's Maximum Ride Series:

Two nights ago, I started to read book one of this series, "The Angel Experiment." Have any of you read it? What do you think? I've barely started it, but seem to have fallen for it already.

It's a speculative fiction book about five human teenagers who have 2% avian DNA in their gene makeup.

A Christian Loves Harry Potter and Twilight:

I'm diving into tricky waters with this first blog. However, I figure it's better to face something head-on than to ignore it or tippy-toe around the issue. (You'll learn this about me.) Let's get this discussion out of the way.

I am a major fan of both series.

There's something you need to know. I was a witch at one time. A Wiccan. I know what magick is and I know what it's not. I also know what can destroy my faith and what cannot. I know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, light and dark. I know what the Bible says and what it does not. I also know what threatens my faith and what does not; what causes me to stumble and what does not. My God is bigger.

Neither book teaches someone how to get into the dark side. Neither teach you how to conduct spells or magic. I can read a story and know that it's FICTION. Not real. Imaginary. Look at "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia." Hence, for me, I read them. For others, I understand if you do not. However, as a write, I think there's a great deal I can learn from both writers with both series.

I'm not saying children should read either series without constant parental supervision and discussion. But, for me, an adult, I think it's acceptable for me to read because I guard my heart and mind and will refer to these series from time to time. I will put their titles in the part of the blog so you can avoid it if you so choose.

Please don't turn away from this blog because I read these and like them. We can agree to disagree on this subject.

For those who like these books, let me know. I LOVE to talk about them.
