<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Latanica was a content kingdom under the reign of King Darius IV and Queen Glory. They were young rulers, but the people had already begun to call their five-year reign the Golden Age of Latanica. But that all changed when a drought settled upon the land, monsters appeared in the woods, and a servant girl opened the door to a stranger one rainy night...</span></div>

It's been three months since I started college and I haven't run away screaming... yet. Ha, just kidding. I'm actually loving all of it: the teachers, the classes themselves, and even the homework! I know, I'm weird. But I didn't create this post to ramble about college life. This is the website/blog of a writer, and so let's skip to that part...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Recently, my school (I know, talking about my college again) had a writing contest called the ASSC Flash Fiction Contest. I have no idea was "ASSC" means, but the "flash fiction" part meant that we had to write an entire story in 600 words... 600 words! That's nothing! My book is around 500 <i>pages</i>, and I had to write a story in 600 <i>words</i>. We also had to incorporate the sentence "I had no idea the dissent would be so rapid," word or word. It was definitely a challenge, but I like a challenge and so I enjoyed it very much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wrote four stories but we were only allowed to enter two. Even though I liked all of them, my readers voted that I submit the last two stories that I wrote, although I'm kind of in love with the idea for the second story and I might continue it... someday... when I have more time... Yeah right, when do I ever have any extra time. I guess what I mean to say is that I'm <i>hoping</i> to continue it. Anyway, I was originally going to make a pdf of each story to share with you guys. But I'm sick and really don't want to go through all of that trouble to upload it to <i>scribd.com</i> and then embed it here and blah blah blah. So just click on the links proved below to read each story. Hope you like them! And I love comments and reviews and just about anything. So leave a comment, pretty please with a cherry on top!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hey All!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So... I was recently advised to look for a professional editor. I was originally going to skip that for "Captive" since it's so short, but now I'm thinking otherwise... Which means that it won't come out this month after all, but maybe nearer the fall. I've been pushing forward the release date for this book since last year and it's starting to get frustrating. But, alas, that's how the book writing business goes. You think you're almost done, and then... WHAM! Road block!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, even though it won't come out this month. I do have the first draft of the back cover synopsis to share with ya'll. Click <a href="http://thelatanicasaga.blogspot.com/2015/06/back-cover-synopsis-reveal.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For thirteen-year-old Nathaniel, an indentured servant in colonial Virginia, life is hard. Though things improve with the help of a kind master named Basil-who shares music, books, and philosophies on equality-around him the climate is heating up. It's 1775 and colonists are enraged by England's taxation. Patrick Henry's words "give me liberty, or give me death" become the sounding call and the American Revolution is about to errupt. Nathaniel and Basil must make a choice about joining the fight and face a larger conundrum about the true meaning of liberty.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">L.M. Elliott is an amazing writer! Even though this book written for middle-school kids... I felt myself quickly wrapped up into the plot and the struggle of the characters. She has a way with words that is just beautiful. Just imagine what she could produce if she wrote adult books! AMAZING!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>The Giver,</i> the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to <i>The Giver, </i>including <i>Gathering Blue, Messenger,</i> and <i>Son.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>3.5 stars out of 5</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I feel kind of conflicted about the rating, I want to give it a five for the amazing view on life it takes... But then there are the weird things involved with it... the slightly bland writing style, the incredible short length of the book... Actually, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it if it was any longer (I've been enjoying shorter books just because I don't have as much time to read anymore), but it seemed like she could have expanded on the story a lot more... Put more detail in about the world that Jonas lives, had more character development so that we would have more sympathy more the characters... I don't know. All in all, it was really interesting and I'm definitely going to be getting the next three books.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I actually saw the movie first and even though the book isn't one of my favorites, I would definitely say that the movie <i>is</i>. It seemed to improve on the book by making the main characters a bit older, editing out some of the weirder things, and adding more depth to side characters. Not to mention what an awesome cast they had. Not just because they had famous actors, but because the casting was just so <i>good</i>.

Right now I'm swamped with finishing high school, work, trying to finish the <i>Captive</i> edits, as well as figure out a cover. It's still coming out this year... just maybe not as early as I'd originally promised. In the mean time, enjoy this pic I found on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> that reminds me a TON of Jazmine's mom, Queen Glory, who is one of the main characters in <i>Captive </i>(just give her lavender colored eyes).</span><br />

Unfortunately for him, the iron-fisted authority of the powerful Patthaaunutth controls virtually every aspect of galactic shipping. In order to survive, Jordan ekes out a living dabbling in interstellar smuggling for outlaw concerns that represent the last vestiges of free trade in the galaxy. So when Jordan and his partner, Ixil--an alien with two ferret-like "outhunters" linked to his neural system--are hired by a mysterious gentleman to fly a ship and its special cargo to Earth, they jump at the job.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Caution has never been one of Jordan's strong suits. But this time he may have taken on more than even he can handle. The ship, Icarus, turns out to be a ramshackle hulk, the ragtag crew literally picked up off the street, and the cargo so secret, it's sealed in a special container that takes up most of the cramped and ill-designed ship. As if that weren't bad enough, it looks like the authorities already suspect something is afoot, there's a saboteur aboard, and the Icarus appears to be shaking apart at the seams.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It doesn't seem as if things could get any worse. That is, until a beautiful crew member helps McKell uncover the true nature of the cargo he's carrying. With his enemies closing in on the lumbering Icarus, the unknown saboteur still aboard, and authorities on Earth pressured to turn them in, McKell and Ixil become fugitives. Their only chance is to stay one step ahead of their pursuers as they try to make it home.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm not one for reading science fiction in general, let alone military science fiction. I just find it really boring for some reason. I had already read a few other of Timothy Zahn's books by the time I picked this one up and had found his pervious books entertaining (he has fantastic plot) but really boring because his characters have a lot of long conversations I don't really want to read about and he spends an excessive amount of time explaining the design of a spaceship. But my brother had been raving about how amazing <i>The Icarus Hunt</i> was and so I decided to give Zahn another try. The beginning was interesting, but near the middle I reached the same problem I had before with his other books... it was boring! But I stuck to it because my brother was so excited I was reading it. And then I got to the end where all the mysteries were solved... and it quite blew my breath away. <i>The Icarus Hunt</i> has probably one of the best endings I have ever read in terms of solving the mystery, wrapping up the plot while leaving it open for future adventures with the characters, and deep satisfaction. Even if you're not into military science fiction or science fiction in general, I'd consider giving this book a try. The ending is TOTALLY worth it.</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133827436242774063.post-20594491052857157902015-03-02T11:46:00.002-08:002015-03-02T11:46:30.704-08:00WIP - post #3<div>

When </span><span style="font-size: large;">I entered the movie theater, I entered with high expectations. I LOVE fairytales, <i>especially</i> retellings and mashups. It was also a Disney movie to boot and Disney always has great songs riddled through their fairytale retelling movies. And the actors! They have such a great cast for this movie! </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">But, alas... I left the movie theater <i>highly</i> disappointed. The graphics and costumes were okay, and the acting was really good but the stupidity of the plot made them seem really dumb. The songs were really annoying. I wanted to step into the movie and toss Little Red Riding Hood off the stage she was so irritating. And the morality of the movie was HORRIBLE! If you want to teach your kids that cheating on your spouse, weak men, and relativism is all okay, then take them to see this movie. But if not... <b>then keep them away!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">**I do not own any of the photos in this post, I just thought it would be fun to show some artwork from <i>Pinterest</i> that reminds me of my work(s).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As I've been sitting here at my dinning room table dreaming, plotting, scheming and finally typing out both CAPTIVE and DESTINY'S HAND, I've come to realize that I need to do two things. One, is that I need a series revision of JAZMINE, and two, is that I need to rewrite the <i>Prophesy</i>...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Let's start with JAZMINE - </b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a4fIRS81sHo/VNJsBN385DI/AAAAAAAABtM/WPnAkzdo6wY/s1600/c1b756299ec1c49f60ee8e69d0c6b70c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a4fIRS81sHo/VNJsBN385DI/AAAAAAAABtM/WPnAkzdo6wY/s1600/c1b756299ec1c49f60ee8e69d0c6b70c.jpg" height="400" width="265" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I was pretty young when I began writing, finished, and published JAZMINE. I am still pretty young actually in terms of being a published author, but I have also grown a tone in my own maturity and writing style. And during the years JAZMINE has been published, I've also been able to build the world of Geia into something that is more structured as well as more thought out. It was a bit sporadic in JAZMINE, but I've come to work out those knots since its publication. Another drawback, not necessarily for me but for you (my readers), is that the company I decided to publish with has put my novel on sale at a rather ridiculous price. $26.95 is just </span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">way</span></i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> too much for a paperback book. I know that I would never buy a book that was that expensive--I just don't have the money to splurge like that, and I know it must be that way for you as well.</span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nmpjX0TR8FY/VNJr-knsIqI/AAAAAAAABs8/NkvXo1bHRb0/s1600/9390fbf03d94ed3e71b34759b23b160c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nmpjX0TR8FY/VNJr-knsIqI/AAAAAAAABs8/NkvXo1bHRb0/s1600/9390fbf03d94ed3e71b34759b23b160c.jpg" height="400" width="256" /></a><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Because of these things, I've decided that after I finish DESTINY'S HAND and CAPTIVE and before I start on the next story in the Saga, I'm going to take JAZMINE off the bookshelf and do a major revision on it... fixing plot, grammar, writing style, and characters. Then I'll re-publish it through a different company that should cut the price in half.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm very excited for this new revision because the story of JAZMINE is very dear to my heart and I can't wait to return to it to improve it even more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Now, let's go onto the news about the Prophesy -</b></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nq_QwT0FMLs/VNJr9oArSII/AAAAAAAABs0/KAhSWd7Dwac/s1600/0e0f35d2c82ea9dfc96be78142595cc9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nq_QwT0FMLs/VNJr9oArSII/AAAAAAAABs0/KAhSWd7Dwac/s1600/0e0f35d2c82ea9dfc96be78142595cc9.jpg" height="400" width="225" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One of the first things I began to notice (really only this year - 2015) is that the Prophesy is just <i>way</i> too long for people to whisper it to one another quickly, and then immediately have it memorized in order to pass it on to the next person. Because of this, I'm going to be re-writing the Prophesy into a shorter version with a better punch and input the new version into the upcoming books in the Saga as it is repeated. I'm also going to switch it out in JAZMINE when I do the revision, so you'll have to bear with me and the old version until I'm able to do that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here is the rough first-draft just for you, written when I was on a three-hour bus ride and seriously began thinking about this problem.</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm not someone to obsess about a series that much anymore. And I definitely don't finish it in less than a week. I have too many other things going on like school, work, and my own writing. But I<i> literally</i> could not put this series down! I don't remember the last time I stayed up still 2am just to finish a book... But I did with the third book in the series, <i>Ascend</i>. I read the whole book in just a few hours because I couldn't put it down! That's how good it was!</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Her writing style was clean and to the point. Wendy's emotions in the first book seemed to be flying by too quickly to seem real but, when I thought about it more, that's actually how our quick teenage brains works, lol. We don't dwell on one thing, thought, or emotion for too long. The character growth was amazing, especially Wendy's. I didn't really like her at first but by the third book I felt like she was one of the best people I could ever possibly meet. It was through Wendy's perspective, but Hocking seemed to portray the other characters and their own personality and growth extremely well.</span></span><br />

OMG! I never expected it to end the way it did but I was soooooo happy with it! I actually got emotional (and I don't usually get emotional... ever) while reading the Epilogue and short story at the end of <i>Ascend</i>, the feels were intense!</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I do have two things that I didn't really like, and they're really only my own <i>personal</i> opinions because they didn't coincide with what I believe in. For one, I didn't really like some of the romance that happened outside of the character's marriages. And two, there was a gay character that made me a little uncomfortable. I actually loved the character, he was amazing. But this little side thing made it hard sometimes to read near the end of the series. I have nothing against gays at all, I love the people, but I just have a hard time copping with what they are doing.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But, besides that, I'm happily giving all three books a whopping <b>5 out of 5 stars</b> for the character development, plot, and writing style... Good job Amanda Hocking!</span></span>
