Spark of Something New
Publishing a novel is no easy feat. Many have started to go the route of self publishing. Most of the time though, this costs a pretty penny. I managed to find a way to make it happen for my book.
Elementals: Spark is not the first manuscript that I have ever written, but it is the first one since I graduated college with my Bachelors in Creative Writing. I used my new skills to try and improve a story that I have always had roaming around in my head.
Summary:
Rhea Morgan is just finishing high school and trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life, when she is off to her final year of training as an Elemental, an ancient line of druids that control the six elements of the world and protect the balance. A group of people with these same abilities, The Banished, are starting to attack the strongholds of the Elementals in search of something.
With her twin sister Robin, and four other Elementals who are also graduating high school, Rhea must fight The Banished, and protect life as we know it, while also trying to figure out her future, and love.
Many things go into creating a novel beyond just the words. I created the cover for my book. Copyright is no joke, so I used a photo that I had taken back in the summer, and placed the text over it. The simplicity of the cover I created suits the story, at least I think it does.
This process, publishing and writing a book, took some time, but as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Good things take time, and I sincerely hope that many people find my novel to be a good thing. If you would like to support me, please take them time to purchase my book off Amazon.
