Welcome to my Blog!

So, I decided to start a blog. I thought that it would be a good way for me to share information with everyone about my current story, Always Leads Back to You, as well as other little tidbits like, what I'm reading, websites I frequent, other people I follow, etc., etc. You get the idea… For this first post, I thought I would tell you a little bit about each of the things I’ve included in the blog. Hopefully it tells you a little bit more about me and a lot more about my current story.



First and foremost, there is a link to my story. Just click on the banner at the top and it will take you directly there. Then, of course, you have the other typical stuff that you might expect; information about me, how to follow me on Twitter, a feed on my latest tweets and other followers of my blog. However, there are also some links for some other random things; like a list of some of the stories I’m currently reading and absolutely love, all well written by some amazing ladies, as well as links to websites that I stalk on the regular and the blogs of some pretty cool peeps that I follow. You should definitely check them out!


Some of the coolest things I’ve added, though, are related to my story. I hope that you think they’re cool, at least. I’m a visual person. I have an active imagination, but I also like to see things from other peoples perspectives. When I read a story, I get a mental image and feel for what the setting is like. I hope that I’ve conveyed some of that detail in my writing. Like the name of the blog says, "We're not in Forks Anymore." So, I thought it might be interesting to add some actual photos of the “places” in Always Leads Back to You, as well as create some playlists of the music in the story. Granted, this is a fictional work with fictional characters, but many of the places are real and the music depicted coincides with the time and era the story takes place in. I grew up in Maryland (in the DC area) and the slideshow photos are all actual places in and around the area I grew up. I wanted to be able to describe things to you, the reader, in a way that would be believable. Therefore, I decided to create the story in a place and a time I know well. Hopefully that comes across in the story. I will continue to update the photos and music as the story progresses, as the locations and times will continue to change.


That being said, I hope you like it. I’ll be posting teasers for the story on here as well as other thoughts and tidbits as they occur to me. Feel free to leave me comments or questions if you have them. I’d love to hear from you. And come and catch me on Twitter. I’ll talk to you all soon!
