This is the craziest thing. My debut novel, Tilgi, is available on Amazon.

I need to pinch myself.

God is so amazing! He made this dream of mine come true and I am so ecstatic!

Tilgi is released now but before this book was published, I had a total melt down. 

This was several weeks before Tilgi’s release day. In fact, I was still working through critique from beta readers. One day . . .

I have been working on this story for 2 ½ months. Here are my thoughts on finishing this story if you’re curious. I’m still struck in awe that I managed to finish this . . .

Sorry I haven’t emailed or posted anything in a little while. I’ve been trying to get schoolwork, AHG, and my book done. Apparently, it’s a lot easier said than done. However, God has been answering prayers, and I think . . .

I have so much to do. I never knew the life of a teenager was so busy and I’m trying to write a book on top of it! I have so much work to do, and I still want to write Tilgi.

Since May, I have been working on what I called a fanfiction. At first, it was a fanfiction. It was about Clint Barton just like my Many Stories was. 

But this all changed one day while I . . .

I’m not sure when I learned that you can’t publish fanfiction but it was sometime during the creation of my first book. 

I was going off into . . .

My writing journey began when I was very little. I would write down “Once upon a time” tales that usually only lasted a page or two. But it was a start. A seven-year-old start. 

I don’t have many . . .

I truly believe that God's calling for me is to become a writer. However, for some reason, I've never had a likening for reading. I can get reading but I have hard time keeping reading. Well, God took me on a small little road trip in April . . .
