Welcome!

Yay, my first blog! To be honest I've been wanting to do one for a long time now, but I've never gotten around to it, so welcome to my blog! :) This blog is called Novel Ideas, and will track my progress as I write three separate young adult series. This first post will explain all of them so that you guys get a grip of what I'm saying (which is more than a lot of people can do, haha).


All riiiight so here is the beginning, but first, I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm 20 years old and have am pursuing a double major in biochemistry and professional writing. I hope to one day become a technical writer (because I love writing soo much and chemistry is just, well, my thing). I love kayaking. The picture is from New Hampshire, when I went with my sister for a week to no-man's land and Augusta, Maine. Gorgeous up there. You guys have to go if you ever get the chance. Now enough about me, let's get down to the books!



I've been writing for 8 years now, and have finished four good books in that time (when I was 14 I wrote this really crappy series that I only keep for nostalgic reasons). I'm currently working on three books at once now, which sounds like it would be a lot, but it's really not, because they're all so different and I deeply enjoy letting my mind hop from one universe to another! (Come on, who DOESN'T?)

The first series I will be explaining is my science-fiction series, the Invasion of the Raraks. It takes place pretty much present-day, though the technology is a little advanced. Maybe 20 years in the future. But not insane. It's about an alien invasion that tries to conquer Earth by dominating a major country at a time, and America is the next target. They take over our government and we even elect one as president (SPOILER). It's not my BEST series, but I do enjoy it and I would love to keep on detailing it. I'll be inserting pictures, actors (that I dream portray the main characters), and other things that will show you the universe of the series.

The second series I'll be explaining will be The War of Rhilion, of which I am currently writing the third book and editing the first two (just because I'm crazy like that and think they're never perfect, haha). It's a fantasy book that has nothing to do with the modern world. It has wizards, kings, sea monsters, banished princes, resistances, and evil children because Stephen King is that awesome. No elves though, even I'm a LOTR freak. Just humans and an over-aged, rotting King dude named Raxithor.

The third series I just started like two weeks ago. It's actually a single novel for the moment, but I might make it a duo or a trilogy. It's called Operation Child, and is an apocalyptic story set in 3051 A.D. Isolationist countries rule the world, and greenhouse gases made the planet incredibly hot. The story centers around a small 10-year-old girl, Isabel Boynton, and her journeys, and the trains that ship children that cannot be looked after to an unknown place controlled by the government. It's pretty cool. I like it, but really, I just started it. The world in 3051, though, is a fantastic place in my mind.

Hope you like the blog! And again, welcome!
