Click here to check it out!

That's right...all Entranced e-books will be marked down on May 27th! This is a one day event, so make sure to check out every novel, including mine: The Sacrificed. 

Here's the blurb!

Emerald Hayden lives in the City of Centsia, a half-winged among the other walkers. She has no family, friends, or food — only a grim future filled with tiresome labor in the upper level’s factories. Everything changes when she meets Dusk, a winged from the group that has made her life miserable. He opens her eyes to a new possibility: the possibility of the unity of winged and walkers — of freedom, and of love. 

Together, Emerald and Dusk challenge the upper level’s supreme, winged council. But when a friend betrays them, they must choose whether to sacrifice their beliefs and save their own lives, or to stand strong in the face of an indomitable force. Success could mean liberty; failure, death.

The Sacrificed Official Cover

The final cover for The Sacrificed has just been released! For those who are unaware,The Sacrificed is a young adult dystopian fantasy novel that will be released in Ebook format with Entranced Publishing. The story centers around Emerald Hayden, a 16-year-old wingless girl who was born in a society where the winged citizens prevail over the walkers. It is up to Emerald to decide whether she will accept her grim fate as a walker, or attempt to change it, with the harshest price being her life.

The Sacrificed Fan Cover!

 This is a fan cover that my friend, Abrielle Kramer put together for my upcoming novel, The Sacrificed, which will be released on June 24, 2013. As you can see, there is a lot of hidden symbolism in it--see what you can find!

Commenting onto the poll that I launched a few weeks ago, The Sacrificed is forbidden romance. The forbidden concept in the story is displayed in the love that forms between Dusk and Emerald, a winged and a walker. But I don't want to spoil too much for you (;

A new poll will be available every 2 weeks. Previously, I asked you what type of romance excited you the most. 40% said: fated or destined love, and an equal amount responded: Spontaneous love.

Romance in The Sacrificed

Note: The Sacrificed will be released on June 24, 2013 in Ebook format. It will then be available on most digital platforms, including the Entranced Publishing website.

Romance is a key theme in The Sacrificed, and though it may not seem that way when read at a glance, the love that Dusk and Emerald share is extremely critical to the story's progression
Most of us enjoy tales of forbidden love. They usually detail two people who become romantically involved in the worst possible situations--where it is either politically incorrect to do so, or where it has simply never been done before.

In the Ebook, sixteen year old Emerald Hayden is a walker, which means that she resides on the lower level of the City of Centsia. Even though she is half-winged, she has no wings, thus all of the privileges associated with having winged blood are invalid for her.

Dusk is a full winged, a pure blood. His fate collides with Emeralds' in an unlikely meeting on the lower level. But you'll have to read the full edition to discover the deaths and the struggles that result from it. And yes, there are many deaths!

A new poll will be available every 2 weeks. Previously, I asked you if you felt that you had control over your dreams. 66% said: not at all, and 33% responded: sometimes.

Imagery- Nightmares

     I just woke up from a horrendous dream. I was in a dark room, though it seemed that the whole world was dark, and there were these creatures. I say 'these creatures' because I have no idea how to describe them, other than the fact that they were all black, and they wouldn't stop touching me! Whenever I left the kitchen, they would reach out and press their hands against my arms.
     Now, whenever I have a dream, I have 2 senses: sight and touch. Both taste and smell are irrelevant, and there was no need for them in this scenario. There was no way for me to escape.
     In this situation, I was plagued with a nightmare that I could remember afterwards, as opposed to the sweet, heavenly dreams that leave my mind at the break of dawn. The point is, well, not only to write about my dream so it doesn't recur, but to highlight a key topic: imagery. The only imagery stronger than the worlds you can conjure up while reading, in my opinion, is when you are dreaming. Both are produced by the mind, yes, but while reading, it is easy to put the book down and walk away.

While having a nightmare, or even a dream of pleasure or happiness, it is almost as if you are trapped. Unlike the story books and fiction tales, it is hard for me to 'pinch myself' and bring myself back to reality. My mother once said that I had the power to control my dreams, even my nightmares, but I have to disagree. I want to hear from you. Please vote in the poll below--do you feel that you have control over your dreams?

A new poll will be available every 2 weeks. Last week, I asked you what the strongest trait in a main character was. You said: cleverness and intelligence.
