For the Intended is a fantasy trilogy about a teen named Galayne who must save Edgeladine--a world filled with monsters and elemental people called Naetera. She doesn't know how she got to Edgeladine--she just knows she's "The Summer Born" destined to save it. Although that should be her main concern, keeping her reckless band of friends together often takes precedence. As she struggles to fulfill the Aedine Prophecy and keep everyone alive, it turns out even more is at stake . . . Recommended for ages 12 and up.
(Please PM me if you have any questions!)

My Writing Journey
I began writing at a relatively early age. I wrote quite a few short stories throughout elementary and middle school and found a large appreciation for books in general- both reading and writing them. I attempted writing a novel around 5th grade, and despite putting a fair amount of effort and love into it, I quickly found the plot faulty and bland. I dropped my pen and put my reading glasses on for the next couple years. During that time, my imagination soared, and characters of my own appeared in my head. They went on various adventures and eventually filled most of my daydreams. When I was 12, my dad noticed their consistent presence in my drawings (I'm also an artist). He asked me about them, and at some point it must've come out just how developed their background stories were- they weren't just lines of colored pencil, they had lives in my head. My dad suggested writing their stories down and so
For the Intended was born. It wasn't long until the project was up on a frequently updated blog. After a few years, the story was "finished," so I pulled it off the internet for security reasons. The ginormous file sat on my desktop for around a year since I didn't really know how to approach editing- I got some done, but not enough, and certainly not the quality it was craving. Finally, I had had enough of waiting around- it was time. I took a gap year between high school and college for a time of dedication, and I'm elated to say that I finnally published my trilogy in August 2018. It has been a fantastic journey, and I'm not planning to stop writing anytime soon. I have a list of story ideas lined up that belong to several different genres, and I'm so excited to explore them now that my firstborn has hit the market.
