It is my hope to provide motivation for fellow authors who continue to polish their voice and work on their craft. I want to inspire as many writers as I can to view their work as an ongoing journey. You never know which step you are on in achieving your dreams, all you can do is to keep pressing forward. Looking back shows you how far you've come, and looking ahead gives you direction, but the most important part of the journey is where you are right now. Never stop striving, live without regret, and use both your experience and your dreams for the future to shape what you're doing right now.

Still Here, Still Writing

It has been a hot minute since I visited my Goodreads page. Understatement of the decade, I know.

My journey as an author has experienced a big hiatus, that much is true. But it has not been with a bitter or saddened heart, rather, with a blessed one. Since my son Landon was born in 2013, my first priority has been motherhood and family. My daughter Evelyn was born in 2015, and my focus became stro Read more of this blog post »

“His eyes darted over the surface of my face. Like a moth to a blaze he was hesitant, seeming to crave my warmth but not its inevitable burn. He explored me from a distance with his unspoken desire, with the fear that touching me would set him to flame. I wanted nothing more in that moment than to prove very much the opposite.”
Shawn Kirsten Maravel, Volition

“The longer I looked into his eyes the more I felt that he was leading me down a road that I was determined not to follow.”
Shawn Kirsten Maravel, Volition

“‎''A heart that had chosen its path couldn't be led in any other direction.”
Shawn Kirsten Maravel, Severance

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..”
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”
Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

“You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”
Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

Cassandra Hey, Shawn! I entered the book giveaway with Hayley, and I hope to win, because I REALLY want to read these bad boys.
I am sort of obsessed with angels, and have not been able to find anything good to read about angels. You can see my dilemna.
Anyway! Just by chance of not winning, are you goiing to be realeasing Violition and Severance on Kindle anyrtime soon!? I really want to read these and the easiest way for me is on my Kindle.

Anyway,
Good luck with everything that you do! Happy Writing! :)

message 23: by Tessie

Tessie I hope to read that book soon.
It's hard to decide which book I'm going to buy every month, there's just too many great books to choose between.
I probably will find something on your lists, it seems that we have a similar taste in books.
And I couldn't agree more, it's fun to get people to read books that you thought were awesome. :)


message 22: by Tessie

Tessie Thanks for your friend request, I should really read Hush, hush.
I've had it on my wishlist like forever, haha.
Hope you'll enjoy having me as a friend. :)
