**REGARDING READ SWAPS AND OTHER...STUFF**
-If you ask me for a read swap, I'll expect you to go first (and I will soon follow). If I ask you, naturally I will go first. I just think that's the right thing to do.
-I do not do read requests. So PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME COPY-AND-PASTED MESSAGES asking or telling me to read/Pick your book, especially if you don't even mention reading mine. I HATE copy-and-paste messages. They are nothing but SPAM. If I receive a message like this from you, I will not only ignore it, but I will make it a point to never read your work. Honestly, people, you don't have to be so desperate to make it to the Top 5 that you need to message everyone on the site in hopes that someone will read your work. Desperation is not a good color on anybody!
-If you have read and commented on my book and would like me to return the favor, please add that request either in your comment, or in a message. It may take me a while to get back to you, but I will make sure to add whatever you want me to read to my WL.
- I leave HONEST feedback. That means I might comment on your book and tell you something you do not want to hear. If you come to me, asking me to read your work because you want to make it to the Top 5, please do not act offended if I give you constructive criticism! If you do not want people to point out spelling or grammatical errors, or any other flaw your book may have, then don't bother trying to make it to the Top 5!
-With that said, if you find any errors in my story, such as grammatical errors, I would love for you to tell me what they are (not just that they exist, cuz I already figured that)! I'd like to use this place as an opportunity to fine tune my work some more, so don't be afraid to point this stuff out to me!
-I accept every friend request I get, so feel free to add me. :)

I'm a 29-year-old woman who loves to read and write. I write primarily Young Adult novels. I guess I really miss my days of being a teen, so I tend to live vicariously through my characters.
I have had 2 of my artworks made into book covers for Amelia Atwater-Rhodes ("Persistence of Memory" paperback edition and "Token of Darkness" hardcover edition) and hope to someday have my own book on bookshelves (with or without a cover made by myself :D). In the meantime, at least I can say that SOMETHING I've created has made it to bookshelves. :P
"The Importance of Getting Revenge" is my second finished novel, but by far my most popular. I have been overwhelmed by the support and feedback it has received on other sites, and needless to say that my readers have all come to be very near and dear to my heart. Also needless to say, if you read/comment/Pick my book, I will love you forever.
My dream, of course, is to someday get published. This may never happen, because I'm too chicken to send out a manuscript to anyone. In the meantime, I enjoy providing my writing for free on the Internet. :)
