Combination of two things I really love...the @halo franchise and #reading! Loving this first-ever original YA story set in the Halo canon! This book would actually make a fantastic Halo game!

COVER REVEAL for my awesome author friend @bekahharrisauthor! THE THORN PRINCESS is the first book in her new IRON CROWN FAERIE TALES series, and I am SO excited for it, and for her! Bekah is a phenomenal YA writer, and you should definitely go follow her! Check out the synopsis below, and be sure to check out Bekah’s profile to preorder your copy! . SYNOPSIS: . Ivy Hawthorne is certain of one thing: she’s a complete freak. . Quiet, intelligent, and a little odd, Ivy has always felt like an outsider at Kingston Academy, a private boarding school in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it’s because she sees auras that reveal people’s moods and motives. Or it could be the connection she feels with the animals that watch her from beyond the school’s iron gate. It could also be her ethereal complexion and glass green eyes. Perhaps it’s because sometimes, her dreams even play out in reality. . And let’s not forget about the fact that her mother is institutionalized for a mental illness. . But even for Ivy, things have gone from strange to downright bizarre. The animals have started following her. Strangers have been watching her. And when she gets angry or upset, inexplicable things are bound to happen. But the craziest thing of all is the sudden arrival of Barrett Forbes, a dark, mysterious transfer student who finds her abilities fascinating and causes her to question who—and what—she really is. . The more Ivy gets to know Barrett, the more she learns about the dark truth behind her lonely, isolated childhood. As she digs deeper into her past, Ivy discovers the shocking truth about her family and where her true destiny lies. . Filled with magic, romance, and mystery, The Thorn Princess is the first book in Bekah Harris’ captivating new series, The Iron Crown Faerie Tales. . #reader #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #amreading #amreadingya #ya #yareader #yacontemporary #readersofig #storytelling #yafic #yalit #teenfic #teenlit #youngadult #novel #justread #books https://www.instagram.com/p/Bti9rjMHjvM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1khsna562h5pq

The Great LAN Test of 2019 worked, and was a roaring success. My first actually successful LAN party! Dusted off the old 360 after several years. Good to be back in the world of #Halo3ODST and #HaloReach again! Now that we know what we’re doing as far as setup, more of these to come, I hope! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs2IyGcnQ9l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qahomwyg85yx

Love my peeps. Awesome Christmas of fellowship and joy this year. Looking forward to a fresh start and a new year. Hope you’ve all had a great few days! https://www.instagram.com/p/Br1gRBDHKD8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19tb8ykknbu57

Christmas hasn’t been the same since Mamaw spent her last one with us four years ago, but one way I have honored her since (with the exception of the first year, when my family took a beach trip) is to bake cookies at midnight on Christmas. Mamaw always kept a house full of sweets and delicious food at Christmas. It’s not much, but it’s a lot to me. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to ALL! I hope the season has been bright for you! . #christmas #christmascookies #readyforsanta #cookies #food #baking #holidays #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays https://www.instagram.com/p/BrzGRcyH-AO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12po6mxcnaus5

@j.warren.welch and I just released our second episode of #wwotspodcast. This week we’re talking about #BabyItsColdOutside, how tiring the #holidays can be, and how to come together during the season. CONTENT WARNING: This is NOT your grandma’s podcast. This is the one you sneak away from the family today to listen to after you’ve had a whiskey shot or seven. ;) Link in bio! . #podcast #videopodcast #jwarrenwelch #whilewereonthesubject #discussion #controversy #unfiltered #uncensored https://www.instagram.com/p/Brx4uRNnZU8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cecp6b6sc5nu

Four states, three countries, countless cafes, libraries and bookstores...74,761 words. It’s not over. I still have a LOT of work ahead of me to get this in shape. But for the first time in a LONG time, I have finished a full first draft of a novel. And for the first time EVER, I have poured my whole heart out onto the page, and I have written the book of my soul. I am SO excited for people to read it someday. It hasn’t really sunk in that I’ve accomplished anything right now, because I’m on a caffeine high, and I had a great day working with @j.warren.welch on something amazing. But y’all, I do not underestimate that this is a big deal for me, and I am so appreciative to EVERYONE who has cheered me on for this journey. This gives me so much vigor and energy going into 2019...here’s to a great new year! . #author #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram #amwriting #amwritingya #ya #yaauthor #yacontemporary #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofig #writersofig #storytelling #yafic #yalit #teenlit #teenfic #youngadult #youngadultfiction #novel #novelwriting #debutnovel #justwrite #scrivener https://www.instagram.com/p/BreWEELH2P-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=111o1ph41tf7j
