My Books

I used to be writing about twenty books at a time, but now that I'm older I've narrowed it down. At first when I had an idea I started a new book to get it in, but now I've figured out how to incorporate the ideas into one of the books that I'm working on now. I have four books that I'm working on now. I'll tell you about them in order that I started them.

Dun Zarum I thought up in December. My friend was over at my house for a camp-fire, and we had come into the house because it was really cold. We had a humidifier set up in our kitchen (you know, the thingies that shoot out steam). My friend really loved it. We would stick our faces in in the steam and see how long we could 'breathe' the water. Later I thought it would be cool if I had a character in a book who could breathe water. That turned into a character who could control water. My main character's name is Ehra, and she's age fourteen to fifteen.

Then is Songaia, which is the sequel to Dun Zarum. (I know, I'm sort of ahead by thinking up a sequel before I'm done with the first book). Same main character and all.

The Other Side of the Creek you already know about. I got the idea for that while walking by our creek (which is identical to the creek behind Ben and Kaela's house).

Last, but not least, is a book I haven't named yet. It's about a girl named Emily and her cousin, Kaitelyn, who stumble across a way of 'awaking' Emily's African Violets, flowers she has in her room. She named them too, Africa (a white violet) Opal (a pink) and Elaine (a purple). I thought this one up after I bought an African Violet from the Plant Nursery. (Yes, I named it. It's white, and it's named Africa, just like in the book. And I know I'm odd. I even talk to Africa sometimes)

That's all. Though don't be surprised if I think up another one immediately after I publish this post. Sometime soon I might post excerpts of my books.

haha. You started a story because of me and the humidifier! lol. That gave me a story idea too. I forgot what it was...I think it was about dragons. Yeah, pretty random

I'm also writing a story about a girl who can communicate with water. Her name is either Coral, Raine, or Marina and her dad is a Selkie. Shannon Hale has a character who can "water-speak" Her name is Dasha and she's awesome but not as much and Enna or Isi.

That's cool! (yeah, I thought you and the humidifier was funny, too) And Ehra is based on you...somewhat.

Wow..that'd be cool if the book was published. I'd be sort of famous! One of my friends based a character in a school assingment story on me. Well, she named her after me. First and last name. But the character was a vampire who murdered her whole family so I'm hoping that her personality wasn't based on mine. lol.

yeah, you probably aren't a vampire
