A little about me and stuffs

I figured instead of delving right into the stories details, I'd tell you a little about me.

Where to start...

Well, I'm 20 years old, I'm an online student at Northampton Community College, my hobbies include eating pizza, writing, and extensive hours plugged into video games. I have 2 cats, and one dog.

I know, I know. You're probably wondering why reading wasn't in that list. Well to be honest, I don't really enjoy reading. Don't get me wrong, I have read a couple good books here and there (outside of school), but idk, it just really wasn't my thing. By the time I would get past the first 3 words, I'd end up daydreaming about the books words, or just dazed off in general. It's pretty frustrating, trust me. I didn't try with just one book.

Although, there were a couple that I did read and enjoy. I'll list my top three.

1. The Giver (great concept)
2. 5 People You Meet In Heaven (this made me tear up) 
3. Tuesdays With Morrie (this one made me cry)

Okay, so two of those are by the same person. But those are the only kinds of stories I enjoy to be honest. Sure, I don't read, but the video games I play (RPG,Adventure) often are only purchased for the story. 

Final Fantasy VII is my number one favorite game, story, you name it. Just everything about that game is perfect to me. 

The story spoke out to me because I bonded with the characters on many personal levels, I felt like I actually understood them. Then the plot, made me feel like I was personally involved. I mean, yeah sure, it's a video game that progresses based on my efforts, but still. 

The game was actually powerful enough to inspire me to write. I wanted to re-create the same feelings that it allowed me to feel- excitement, fear, and occasional frustration when my characters died. These were all elements that I wanted whatever story I wanted to write. 

That dreams about to come true, even if it doesn't sell well, I know I personally had fun, despite the fact that it took me almost 6 years. Or 7. Idk, I'll count later. 

Anyway, thanks for reading guys!

Pilot? Intro? uh

This isn't my first time making a blog. I've had Tumblr, Ad-content, and many more in the past, for different purposes.

 Although, this is  probably the first time I've ever made one for the intent of keeping people up to date with my activities. The biggest reason why I've turned to one of these, is because each and every other E book author, have been avidly advising people to make a blog, mainly because in this day and age, you can't just make a book, and then expect it to sell on it's own, it doesn't work like that. I did for sometime believe that though, not necessarily just with books, but from back when I was in a band, that was constantly releasing music. In this case, blogs are more so for the reader to get to know the author.

So, on this blog I'll be telling you about the progress of the story, it's characters, maybe... a bit of the plot, and some of my goals regarding writing. Maybe. I'm actually a very private person to be honest, it took a lot of courage to even want to sell this E-book. Even now I'm still a bit reluctant on doing so. 

On October 7th, 2014, "The Other Side", will be released as an E-book for almost every reading device; (Nook, Kindle, you name it), for 6.49. It can be lent to others for a certain amount of days, and can be previewed. (Try it before you buy it, right?) 

It makes me happy to finally say that it's happening, I've been waiting for this day for almost 6 years now. After writing, editing, constantly deleting, I believe that the book finally reached the goals that I wanted it to.

Anyway, you can expect a lot of promotions and stuff, but now with the little experience I have, I know better than to advertise this story to people who don't really enjoy reading unless if they have to, *cough cough, college textbooks*. 

For now, I highly recommend this book towards people who enjoyed "The Hunger Games", "The Giver", and "The Maze Runner". Why? Because each and everyone of those books that I mentioned are what we would classify as dystopian novels, one's often recognized for it's acts of dehumanization, usually radiating from a group seeking a perfect environment. 

Thanks for reading guys, my next post will be a bit about my main characters. Maybe.
