My Secret Life: CampNaNoWriMo

     Hello everybody... : ) 


      So I'm working on a new book for this little program on the world wide web called Camp NaNoWriMo, its a summer version of National Novel Writing Month which takes place in November, and I only just discovered the Nano crew just last year through my friend which is when I started writing my YA contemporary romance novel Limelight. (Still a WIP, mind you)

       And this time around I'm also writing a romance novel, but this time its a YA Historical Romance called We'll Meet Again, and the book has a lot more elements to it than just the romance. :) It all takes place during WW2, I've been reading a lot about that in my history homework and learning about how much people struggled during this time was especially interesting to me and touched my heart personally. Even though I've never been in a situation like the Jews were in with poverty and being brutally murdered and such, I sympathize with them and it makes me realize how lucky I am to have been born in the time period I'm in and how blessed I am by God with everything He's given me. 
     Anyway, this book has been so much fun to write even though I'm only about 5,000 words into it... so today I decided to make a blog post and post a little something about this book. :) I am also going to post a little blurby about my book Limelight as well, because I do not believe I have ever posted one before. 
So here ya go peeps! 


     We'll Meet Again 

Everything for a young German woman's life seems to be hanging in the balance with the sight of war on the horizon for her country. All Lea Amery must do is have faith in God that He will protect her and her family, and their beloved farm home. On the day of September the first of 1939, war is finally declared on Germany by France and England who have had enough of Adolf Hitler's escapades. And so comes the day when her heart breaks of being forced to watch her brothers be drafted for the German army and for the greater good of the fatherland, and her home invaded two times in a month span of one another. She is made to be hospitable to a squadron of Nazi's themselves, the very people she loathes.
But despite her hatred for them, a handsome young man amongst them takes residence in her mind and heart like a mustard stain you can never get out. 


Kaiandre Richter has always been a ladies-man and lived and breathed the German military since the tender age of fourteen. He'd never seen himself going anywhere else besides an officer amongst the German military ranks, and he's never seen the greatness that life can bring besides spending his leave days with dazzling women and drinking as much as his body would allow it. 
When he was finally old enough to join the Nazi's, he did, and he was pleased that they considered him an honorable and worthy man for the job. He'd never exactly been all for Hitler's Nazi escapades, but he didn't really mind doing his duty as long as he never had to do the dirty work. 
A few months into the war his squadron is moved to a secluded location in the middle of nowhere to establish a small HQ on a farm, where he unexpectedly meets a gorgeous girl with the spiciest attitude. And as the handsome soldier soon discovers; it'll take a lot more than just charms to get to through that girl's diamond hard armor.
But these two young people have yet to realize how drastic their lives are going to change by their unpredicted meeting. 


     Limelight

Jasper Myer and teen heartthrob Taylor Greyson have been best friends since they were little kids, and Jasper has always dreamed of being a well known actor like Taylor. And now the eighteen-year-old High school graduate has that chance; she flies across the country from her small town home in Michigan to the big city of Los Angeles, California to finally reunite with Taylor and chase her dreams. 
After struggling for a few months to land a single audition her destiny finally plays out and she meets an ambitious young director looking for an unknown talent to play his lead female role. To her utter delight no sooner after she finishes the audition the crew working on the movie hire her on the spot for the part. But with her dream come true a new obstacle is put in its place for her to overcome, she's up for immense responsibility of the role,  but is she up for the challenge of playing the lover of her best friend's character in this movie? Not only does she have to deal with overwhelming feelings that she knows she should not be having about her best friend, she has to deal with the untold backstabbing that happens behind the glitz and glam of Hollywood life. 
Can she handle the harsh storm winds of her new life? 


(I wrote all this about a month or so ago... I am finished with campnanowrimo, but I figured I should write this blog post anyway, and unfortunately I never did get to 50,000 words on my WW2 novel. But I will finish it eventually :)
