《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @AdriannaRaines3172, author of Mysteries and Mayhem

I have always wanted to write a fantasy/ paranormal book. Magic is definitely something that has intrigued me for a long time and so, I decided to write my imaginations and ideas in the form of Mysteries and Mayhem
I guess connecting the dots has definitely been the most difficult part for me. When you write a book, it must do justice to the characters and the overall plot. Leaving behind important plot points or inability to describe a necessary situation drags the story down and doesn't leave a favourable impression on the readers. I want my readers to be satisfied with my book, and that has been the most difficult work for me.
Mysteries and Mayhem is definitely my most successful project up until now. It has gotten 5.08K reads so far (in 9 months). Right now, I'm editing and still trying to bring about new and improved changes to the storyline.
I have definitely enjoyed writing the magical fights that occur throughout the book. Creating spells is also one thing that I have enjoyed the most.

Initially, it was meant to be a standalone, but now, I have decided to make it into a series.
I want the readers to take away the happy moments that the characters cherished in the book. It is a kind of story that a person of any age can relate to and that is what, I believe, the readers will love about this book.

Write what you want to read. If you don't like your story, no one else will. Also, if you are writing something only because it is in trend at the moment and not because got really want to write something like that, I suggest that you should think again, because whatever is in trend now, might not be tomorrow. Make the smart choice.

Rosalyn is kind, generous and helpful to her friends and everyone she cares about. She can be callous and vicious when it comes to defending her friends and that's kind of an amplified version of how I see myself. I do share some similarities with her, but not so much as Kristen, another lead in the book. Kristen is definitely someone that I can relate to the most. She's an introvert, protective of her friends, afraid of letting others know about her feelings and she has a darkness behind all of the charm and quiet something that I definitely do.
Definitely the twists and turns. You can never be sure of who is actually the villain of the story. One moment you are in love with a character and in the very next moment, they are your staunch enemies. So yeah, that's the way I had planned it all along and if you are a fan of such cliffhangers that keep you on the edge of your seat, you are definitely in the right place.

Right now, I'm mostly focused on editing Mysteries and Mayhem and writing its sequel. I have many projects that I have planned, which could last a lifetime, but you can surely expect more fantasy/ paranormal books from me.

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
