Greta and the Goblin King by Chloe Jacobs

While trying to save her brother from a witch’s fire four years ago, Greta was thrown in herself, falling through a portal to Mylena, a dangerous world where humans are the enemy and every ogre, ghoul, and goblin has a dark side that comes out with the eclipse. To survive, Greta has hidden her humanity and taken the job of bounty hunter—and she’s good at what she does. So good, she’s caught the attention of Mylena’s young goblin king, the darkly enticing Isaac, who invades her dreams and undermines her will to escape. But Greta’s not the only one looking to get out of Mylena. An ancient evil knows she’s the key to opening the portal, and with the next eclipse mere days away, every bloodthirsty creature in the realm is after her—including Isaac. If Greta fails, she and the lost boys of Mylena will die. If she succeeds, no world will be safe from what follows her back..




Being an avid fan of fantasy books, this book quenched my thirst for wanting to read something new and unique! I loved the writing. I loved Greta a very strong heroine which we need in today's YA literature. The book reminded me of a darker version of Alice in Wonderland! I love the adventure along with all the twists written across the pages. Very wonderful book and I hope there will be more books in the series.

Character for NaNoWriMo Project

I'm one of those writers where I need a visual of my characters before I begin working on my new writing project for NaNoWriMo, so these are the people I pick that resemble my characters the most. ( I DO NOT OWN THESE IMAGES)

NaNoWriMo is About to Rumble

The time to finally write the novel you have been itching to write is about to happen. I for one am excited to be doing NaNo this year. I like being an English major, and my creative writing instructor has given us an assignment to participate in NaNoWriMo then to print out our draft and turn it into the professor. Now granted the draft will be absolutely horrible, but I will at least have the story typed up, then I can spend three months tearing it apart into pieces until it's perfect.

This is a project I have been wanting to write for quite some time. It may sell to publishers, it may not, but this is something I truly think is very different, and if I have to self publish it then so be it. It's a story I want to put out there and I want it written on paper. I normally write contemporary or urban fantasy so writing a Science-Fiction novel book series is going to be a challenge. I shall update you guys on my progress with the book and hopefully post a snippet once editing is in the works.
