So I have been writing stories as far back as I can remember. I never finished any of them. I wrote all kinds of stories, one I wrote in middle school was about a teenage boy who was coming to terms with being gay and growing up. Another was about a girl who lost her boyfriend in a car accident and became mute.
I have so many more, with unique characters, and intricate story lines. But I always put them down, and eventually stopped writing on them all together. Then my senior year in High School, at 17 years old, I started to write Crimson. Formerly titled as Abigail. And just like the other stories I would put it down. Stop writing for awhile. But I always came back to it. Sometimes months/years later. That is why it's taken me so long to finish this book. But I am pretty proud of myself. Do I think it is the best book in the world? Probably not. But I do think the story is catered to what I like to read. And if it pulls me in, then I am sure others will be drawn to it as well. And I am not a grammar whiz. I can tell you 100% there will be mistakes in this book. But I believe the story is strong enough, and the mistakes are small enough, for it to be looked past and enjoyed. Not only have I finished this novel but I have also began writing the sequel. I am not sure how many novels will be in this series, but I can assure you the second one is needed. Once it's done being reviewed by Amazon and it's available for purchase, I will link it in a new blog post. *****Book Bio***** 17-year-old Abigail Benjamin is an only child to one of the wealthiest families in London during the end of the 19th century. Abigail is not like the typical girls in London's elite circle. She is high-spirited and strongly opinionated, much to the displeasure of most people in her life. Which makes her life turn upside down when she discovers about a month before her 18th birthday that she has been in a secret engagement to a Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald since before she was born. Abigail has always despised the idea of arranged marriage and contemplates running away one night when she meets Gabriel Malkin, a poor man trying to steal her horse. She unexpectedly see's Gabriel several times before her marriage to Thomas Fitzgerald, but after a night of passion she believes she will never see him again. After Abigail weds Thomas, Gabriel Malkin shows up in an unforeseen way at her new home, and her once charming husband shows his inner demons by being abusive towards his new bride. The plot has many twist and turns such as Abigail finding out Gabriel Malkin is not who he claims to be, or how the Fitzgerald family has been hiding scandalous secrets that could ruin their reputation. Will Abigail ever find true happiness when every one she knows is living a lie? XoXo
