about me

Hey you guys! Some of you that come back to check regularly will notice that I've deactivated "Oko". The book was doing well on the website, even got a mention in "One to Watch Wednesday" and some forums for which I am extremely grateful to the creators of the site and all the friends I made on here - you guys are amazing. But Authonomy had been really distracting me from writing and I feel that's the part I need to focus on the most. As I update more, I will bring the book back and notify those of you that are following chapters as they come up, but "Oko" is down for now. Thank you all again for your support and keep writing, my friends! It is a gift in itself, believe me.

Elena.

Frantically working on "Oko" - almost to the middle, good times. I might be slow to respond, but I'll get to you. Thanks for all the love and support.

I am a published short story writer that decided she likes novels better so she switched gears. I adore books, especially great epic fantasy. I think that good fantasy novels can do what philosophy and psychology textbooks can't even dream of - egg me if you want :)

"Oko" - Blood Triangles Book I" is my second book. It's a work in progress, so any suggestions on improvement are very welcome.

Wine and cheese for all!

Elena.

What beautiful little descriptions, that add to the sincerity and quarkiness of this piece. I think this book and I will get along just fine - shelving it for now, and will come back to read many times. view book

Hm, yes. I like your dialogue - it's realistic and funny, and exposes the characters in the ways that descriptions never can. I like the confidence of your writing, the flare and balsiness. Not a detailed comment for now, but I plan to come back and give this another. For now, starred and backed. We... view book

Just from the first chapter, I could tell that you have real talent. The scatterness of thoughts, the contradictions in thoughts of this character, the raw, emotional power... Thoughts: "She seems sickly today" - if you separate that out as a sentence, it would be extremely powerful. "He will be ha... view book

Harriet, I'm ashamed to say that it has been a while since I've read a book like this, which is really too bad - I was so much more into classics when I was younger (weird). The repetition of the words in the first chapter is well used to build tension and amp the creepiness. The next chapters gave... view book

Ophelia, Yes! I'm totally on board with this, a twist on old concepts that I think I could get into. Nice dry humor, and a sexy protagonist (I like that you don't really try to make him sexy, he just comes off like that). I like that he's naturally a bit narcissistic and spoiled, and that he knows ... view book
