The Origins of The Rise of the Y: A Guest Blog by Angela D. Shelton

I’m very excited. This is the first time I’ve opened up the blog to a fellow author, and today I’d love to introduce you to Angela D. Shelton. Angela is an author of dystopian fiction, and while she categorizes her books as YA, I thoroughly enjoyed the tale she told in her book Collapse!

Characters Part 5: Jakob Schmidt

I’ve said it before: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the bad boys. I have a genuine hope that there’s good in them and that it will prevail in the end, or that they’ll have a total redemption experience and use their strengths for good.

I’ll skip the account of multiple GPS debacles in favor of this photo of us eating french fries at the Hauptbahnhof at 10:00 at night: We walked out the door and were greeted by aContinue reading “Wandering Around Germany: Berlin”
