about me

*Is so behind on commenting others work it's not even funny. So badly in fact, that I've moved my permanent residence to a bookstore without internet in order to finish my re-write on Damage Control in six days... and then back to this site!*

Read on if you dare:

This section is always awkward because how am I really suppose to know who I am really? Doesn't that change every single day so instead I'll say what I like and dislike.

Likes: Chocolate, writing, reading, Smoothie King, laughing, making people laugh, shopping, crazy characters, cheese, my friends, my fiance, Happy Meals, silk, oriental decor, dragons, cats, Beauty and the Beast, Rock Band, singing and music.

Dislikes: Clones, choo-choo trains (long story), ignorant people, writers who write the same book over and over, yappy dogs, falling down, snakes, blood, needles, know-it-alls, book snobs and bad mac & cheese.

Damage Control

Amber Johnston

Didn't know there was a militaristic society of time travellers controlling history? Neither did seventeen-year-old Lena Philips until the Bakers moved in.


Lena Philips doesn't hate them. At least, that's what she's been telling herself about the new family of guys that moved into the house next door (you know, the one that was supposed to be her inhertiance). It doesn't help much that her Gran, the only person that's ever understood her, just died and she has decided not to acknowledge that fact. So, armed with a camera, Lena decides to take the idea of a paparazzo to the extreme and starts watching next door. And what she finds isn't so normal... disappearing vans, memory loss, an attack on her life, strange carvings in her arm and a whole slew of photographic evidence gone missing are just the start of Lena's adventures with the Baker family. And when the oldest brother, Rick, and the middle brother, Chase, both start to show interest in her, things go from tense to all out war as she struggles to discover what is really happening next door.

Debra, Just finished chapter 1. The writing here flows so smoothly I barely noticed the larger paragraphs of description (which is something for me since I usually loathe them). This was really easy to read and felt natural even though there were some foreign words thrown in. The dialogue is well... view book

Chapter 1: This is really cute and there is so much potiential here with her father being a famous director. I'm going to go on ahead and give a really honest opinion as that will serve you better. I'm nitpicking because I like it! In the third paragraph there is a typo (and there were others,... view book

For Chapter 1: This has a lot of potential and there is some very good writing here. My biggest problem was there was a lot of description, a lot of telling and not enough showing. I'd love to see the scene start with Peter seeing something right away and a lot more rush as he is waking the crew ... view book
