about me

I am a writer, well obviously, right? I am the mother of three wonderful teenagers, at least when they're sleeping. I also dabble in machinima, 3D art, and write scripts.

I'm working on a new novel that I'll upload a bit at a time. I would like honest feedback. Please don't worry about offending me I have a thick skin, although if you say "it sucks" without any hint as to what sucks so I can fix it I might get miffed. Otherwise what you say about my writing is not going to effect what I say about yours.

Oh, and I like pie!

Nuove Terra's Ring of Time

S.B. Martin

In a single evening Sam would discover his destiny and lose everything...everything except his sister.


Sam fell asleep worrying about the first day of high school, but by the time the sun rose he would discover his destiny and lose everything...everything except his sister.

Nearly twelve years have passed since Sam's parents bundled their twin children and fled their home intent on preventing their son from fulfilling his destiny, but no matter how far you run destiny has a way of finding you.


Sam believed he was an ordinary teenager. The son of an accountant and a substitute teacher, but by the time he learned who he really was it was too late. His parents were gone and his sister, Sarah, was the only family he had left. Together they must traverse a world of magic and myth filled with legendary creatures and wand wielding assassins to stop the evil sorceress who murdered their parents from acquiring a fabled ring that hold immense power.


Sam learns early on that fulfilling his destiny won't be easy. Between magic classes, moving in with new relatives, and being cursed it's hard to find time to hunt down an evil sorceress. Can he fulfill his destiny in time?

 

Bonner's Lake

S.B. Martin

You should always arrive early to face your demons.


Bonner's Lake is a small town surrounded by pine trees and farmland. The population can be counted in the hundreds. Some people might not even call that a town, but to Roger Meyers Bonner's Lake is more than just a town. It's home. Or was, in a past life. His life before Maggie, but now Maggie was gone and he was traveling across two states with the remainder of his family. He had to. Choices only exist in a world with money. When you're broke your options are pretty much slim and none.

He left Bonner's Lake for college seventeen years ago and he hasn't been back since. That's a long time. Long enough for his mind to invent reasons why he left in the first place. The mind is funny like that. Good, old-fashioned, plausible reasons are easier for the mind to believe than the reality that waits in Bonner's Lake. A thing really. A thing with a past, a present, and a future. It has been waiting for seventeen years because it knows something that Roger didn't know when he left. For Roger Meyers all roads lead back to Bonner's Lake in the end.

Okay, first thing... This is by far one of the best biographies I've read. The subject matter is quite serious, as you know, but you write about it in such a way that it's easy to read and it doesn't overpower the reader. But I must say your book needs a warning, seriously! Something along the lines... view book

A BHCG review. Plot - You have a nice opening with some v ivid descriptions that really drew me in. The story flows well easily drawing the reader along.
