New Ebook Platforms! And Art

No, I am not putting my ebook on literal platforms. I'm a horrible carpenter.

My YA novel OCEAN OF EMPTINESS, thanks to the lovely Smashwords.com, is now available on the Apple iBookstore and Barnes & Noble. Still priced at $0.99! I'm super excited that the book is becoming more widespread, and I hope that people will enjoy it on their Nooks and iPads/iPhones/iTouches/iEverything else. :)

Short Summary of OCEAN:
 What do you get when you cross a runaway rich kid, a space mermaid, and a stuck-up teen commander with a bunch of pirates in space? ABSOLUTE CHAOS. Throw in a little hint of romance, a few starship battles, and a lot of yelling, and you've got yourself an intergalactic tale. Think Star Wars meets Little Mermaid.

Also, I'm in the middle of working on two new OCEAN OF EMPTINESS (OOE) illustrations that will be published very soon on Deviantart. Eventually, there will be several illustrations in OCEAN, all of which will also be available on Deviantart.

That's all for now! My next post will be about the OCEAN characters and my short sci-fi story SHIFT. :) Leave a comment, ask a question - whatever you'd like!

New Novel Price (and other things)

Hey, everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. I, unfortunately, have been battling a sudden sickness since the day before yesterday - it's just the sore throat that's really bugging me. However, the downtime has given me more time to write, which has been great. I've finally been able to break my nasty writer's block that's been weighing me down for the past few months. And, I have to say, I'm SUPER (hint hint) excited about this new novel.

I'll give you a teaser by saying it's an edgy YA thriller (with some romance, of course).

However, as for my already written novel OCEAN OF EMPTINESS on Amazon, I'd like to announce that OCEAN is now only $0.99. One, because I know the economy is tough, and I'd like to make my book as affordable as possible for everyone.

Also, if you've read my book, I'd love to have your input. Send me a note, or write me a comment! I'm all ears.

Also, I'd like to say that I'm taking commissions - both digital and traditional - and my prices are listed on my DeviantArt account. However, I am now requesting the money paid in full, up front.

Any questions, comments, heads of lettuce to throw... feel free! :)

Hello World!

Hello, there!

After some consideration, I've finally decided to make this my homepage for the time being. I like the format out of the majority of websites I've seen, and although it is a blog format, I actually prefer that.

First, let me tell you a bit about myself and what this site is all about. I'm a novelist and artist (as well as college student), and I've just published my first book Ocean of Emptiness on Amazon. Currently it is only in eBook format for a number of devices, which I will list below, but I may also make a paperback edition. I am also in the process of publishing it on Barnes and Noble's Pubit, but honestly, their system is lacking, and their customer service even more so. I'll keep you updated on the progress.

I started writing when I was around twelve, and I went to writing stories online under the name "Serena Kenobi." A few years later, I also started publishing my art online under the same name. I've been writing online for years now, while at the same time working on several  novels. Although "Ocean" is the first book I've published, I'm currently working on another YA novel as well. I'm also a commissioned artist and am currently taking commissions. If interested, please see my Deviantart site.
