Hey guys!
My family and friends always ask where they can read a sample of my writing and such, so, since this time there are a few samples around the web, I decided to share them with you.
Also, I would be very happy if you want to comment/critique/pass along the word and, for figment’s short story, give me some hearts ;)
So, here they are:
The query for my NA Contemporary Fantasy Amber Energy at WriteOnCon Forums: here.
The first five pages of my NA Contemporary Fantasy Amber Energy at WriteOnCon Forums: here.
A short story (4000 words) for a contest with HarperTeen on Figment.com, called Into the Darkest Fire: here.
For the short story, we’re supposed to put up a cover. Well, they have some mockup covers on Figment and people do their own, but I’m terrible at this (even though I have a BA in Art Studio – Graphic Design), so I asked my NA sister Jaycee DeLorenzo to design a cover for me. I told her it didn’t need to be fancy, but omg, it totally is!
Here is the cover for my short story:
Isn’t it GORGEOUS?! I would take it as the cover of a real novel, not just a short story. I’m super happy with it ;)
I want thank Jaycee for the amazing cover. THANK YOU!
I also want to thank Jani Grey, Ladonna Watkins, Priya Kanaparti and Bailey Kelsey for beta-reading/critiquing the short story. THANK YOU!
Even if you can’t or don’t want or don’t know how to comment and/or critique, I would appreciate if you took the time to read them, after all, as a writer, I write to share my stories ;)
Thanks!
Cheers,
Alex J. Cavanaugh
I like your cover! Great blue tones.

Nice cover, Juliana! I look forward to reading your pieces over the week. What a great way to reach out to readers and gain some new perspectives! Best of luck with your query, too.
Juliana

That is a GORGEOUS cover. Can’t wait to check all of those links out!

That is a fantastic cover. SO sensual and rich. I’m a SA (seasoned adult) but am in the same boat as you – getting started, or in my case reinventing myself as an author. I will definitely take a look at your writings. We all like to be read, don’t we?

Wow! cool..so yay <3
