Here’s a little taste of what you’ll find inside this intriguing book!
 
A smile was on his face. Despite the fact that he was supposed to connect with the egg donor of this lovely child, he had no thoughts of doing that or returning the kid at the appointed time. His timing was perfect. The child--Lanie is such an idiotic name; I’ll have to come up with another one—would be five in a few days. In time, she would forget there had been his loser ex in her life. She--Sheila will regret divorcing me—had battered through his training, all he’d gone through to make her a compliant and complacent wife. She’d run away after he ordered her to get an abortion.
Good thing the bitch ignored me. I wouldn’t have this gorgeous child to raise to be like me.
Granted the child was weak now, but he would fix that, as soon as he made sure they vanished forever. No one would stop him from raising his daughter as he saw fit, and that meant keeping her away from her weakling of a mother.
Quietly, Mark Jannson, scion of the globally famous Jannson family, whose assets numbered in the billions, removed anything he considered important from his lavishly furnished thirty room mansion located in the mountains above Denver. His mother’s jewels were carefully packed into a leather satchel, to be given to his daughter, if she remained true to the Jannson name. The woman who called herself his mother had been consigned to a hovel in the southeast somewhere, once she showed her true colors by attempting to take him from his father.
“Let the bitch live in poverty the rest of her life,” he whispered.

Any authors or writers out there have a story concept that they can't let go of? For whatever reason it's special to you, and you won't rest until someone else gets to enjoy it? 

My current work in progress is that for me. Yes, ENSHRINE is important to me because it's the first book I am getting published, and it made my heart sing as I wrote it, but this story has been in my head and heart since I was FIFTEEN! You never forget your first love, right? Just like ENSHRINE, it started with a dream. I was in an extreme game of capture the flag, when my friends were guiding me towards a boy I'd had my sights on at the time. Something had gone horribly wrong, and as he said goodbye to me, I vowed to avenge him. 

A few weeks later, my brother and I were at my great aunt and uncles house and it must have been rainy, because instead of playing in their yard, I typed the whole thing on the computer in an afternoon. Back then it was only 5 chapters, and the bare bones of what it is today was born. I had sequels, my best friend drew the covers for them. I still have them kicking around somewhere.

About 4 years ago, on my honeymoon of all places, this story wanted a second chance. I really wanted to be a published author, and I thought this story had the potential to be picked up since the whole science fiction dystopian thing was huge. I went through a whole new rough draft, it was twenty one chapters and took up multiple notebooks. Relationships were changed, characters and plot lines were fleshed out and I began to edit it. Now that I'm a few years older, I know what wasn't working with revising it. Then Enshrine overloaded my senses, but now that it's finished, (Sent the final version off today!) this labor of love is getting it's 3rd and final chance. It's 7 chapters so far, 27,000 words, and already different (Two of my characters are up in my music making me fall in love with them being the couple you want to get together and you get frustrated about until they make out at the end of the series...not who my dream was about all those years ago, but really...it makes sense.) I'm looking forward to working on it!

So to sum things up, don't give up if you have an idea that you love but isn't working. I will most likely cry if this work in progress gets a contract because I believe it has shown how I've changed as a writer in 12 years. I want to go back in time and find my fifteen year old self and hug her, tell her that she can do anything. Even if it's not writing, but you find yourself relating to what I'm saying, go for it. You won't regret it, I promise.
