Hello writers and readers!!

Hello all.

Here I will be discussing my plans, current projects and days I just want to ramble and rant about the tedium of editing. I know all writers understand what I'm talking about, namely Elena Ahmadi Gestoso...

Anyhoo, three of my novels are complete. I hope. I am currently looking for the ideal editor to help me polish, reduce, and spring clean my babble.

So what do I have???

Three teenage paranormal romances, surprise, surprise, and a contemporary romance.

I will keep you updated on my writing.

And I hope many of you will join me on my journey to publication.

Bye for now.

Miriam

Since the cover reveal for The Lebrus Stone is on Tuedsay with the amazing ladies at Lovingthebooklaunch, I thought I could add some character photos and the soundtrack on here, rather than wait to throw them at promotional events. For now here's Cray and Crystal:

Inspiration

Writers: What books inspired you to write your first novel? Mine were Legacy of Lies by Elizabeth Chandler and The China Garden by Liz Berry and obviously Twilight, due to the romance. Readers: What do you look for in a paranormal romance story? I look for suspense, quality writing, easy flow of sentences, voice, maybe a Gothic tone, dreamy prose, great description, handsome and mysterious brooding heros with a strong independent protagonist.  First person narrative, and realistic characters. Plenty of romance, and swoon worthy dialogue.
