《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @JensenKristyne, author of With You

I actually started writing this book back in high school. As embarrassing as it is, it started out as a collection of how me and my ex got together. But after a while, it turned into something more.

It was hard for me to keep my character's individual voice throughout the entire story when writing more than one point of view. It took a lot of rereading and editing, but I feel like I managed to keep them true to who they are.

I love all of my characters and the many plots and twists that develop throughout the story on top of the main plot. I feel like it kept the story true and as close to real-life as possible because real life is messy
The overall response has been amazing. I am truly blown away, and so thankful to all of my readers! Ya'll are what have kept me going and I just can't believe how far the book has come!
Each novel is written to be a stand-alone, but it is apart of a series. With You is book one of, The Taken series.

I can't give too much away. lol But I hope my readers walk away feeling like Brielle and Theo are going to make it in the end. I want my readers to feel engaged with them and really rooting for their love.
I always tell others that it's all in your preparation. Before I start writing, I make sure I have a clear and concise plan of action. All my plots are written and a brief summary of each chapter. That way when I start writing, I have an idea of where everything is headed. (Sure, things may change along the way. A plot or two may jump ahead or I may take it out completely.) But anything is better than writing blindly.

I would say, my main character shares a lot of similarities as to who I was and where I was when I first started writing this book

I feel like my story has something for everyone. It has the bad boy, it has the fun, sex-crazed best friend. It has a love triangle and the guy best friend who wants more. And I feel like the character's struggles and a lot of the witty banter that they all share is relatable as well. It's really a fun book.
I do! The next book in the series is a continuation of With You. It starts off right where this one ends and continues from there. The next book is honestly more of an action book than a romance, but it's going to be a lot of fun. Then I have the next book, which is going to go all the way back to the beginning of Brielle and Theo's love story from when they first met. Her brother, Mason will actually be in it, which a lot of my readers have been excited for.
Then I have my paranormal series that is going to be releasing soon. The first book is called Collide. If you haven't checked it out already, you should! It's probably one of the books I am most excited for. A lot of action, romance, blood and predestined love. Really all my favorites all wrapped into one! :)

Skyfire Magus
Lynne Hyorn, seventeen years old laziness-personified, manages to enter one of the four prestigious Academies for the Arts of Magic, Skyfire Academy for Magical Arts.

Et Non Lucem
A lonely fortress, a (slightly) deranged assassin, secrets, intrigue, magic and war. What could possible go wrong? If you've ever wondered what would happen if somebody attempted to blend a realistic medieval world with fantasy, then this is for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when you stick some (extremely) flawed humans into positions of power and try making them save the world, then this story is for you. Or if you're simply bored and can't seem to decide on a new story to read, then this story is for you!This is my first ever attempt at writing a story after years and years of reading, so any and all constrictive criticism is appreciated!

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella
