I’m not one to judge when it comes genre preference. If you like Twilight, read Twilight. If you like bad writing, read 50 Shades of Grey. Ok. Maybe I judge a little bit.

Wait…WHAT? and the Story of Me
Well it’s happened. It has finally happened. A literary agent wants to sign a contract with me!!! I know this is just the first of many many steps on the path to publishing but I’m still PUMPED!
