Springtime News

Been a while since I've updated here. Life and work have been incredibly busy. However, I have been hard at work in my spare time getting things ready.

My book, The Daughter of Atlantis is almost complete!

She goes through final edits starting in May, at which point I will have a better idea of when she is ready for the world to see.

Secondly, the cover design is almost complete as well, which I can not wait to see! Once it's finished it will be shared on Instagram and here.

I am so anxious (and very impatient) to get this book out there. I've spent the better part of two years planning and writing it, and it will be so rewarding to see it through to the end.

Follow my Instagram, @ameliajunewrites , for updates (but mostly for cat pictures) as we get closer and closer to the end!

Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog post! This site was created as a way to help keep me motivated as I finished up my first novel. Currently, she sits at just over 80K words, which is insane as I have never written that much ever. I still have a ways to go but as a whole I am very pleased with the progress I have made.

The story centers around Corinna, a young woman who lives in the fabled city of Atlantis.

To the rest of the world, the city never existed, an ancient myth passed down for generations. To Corinna, it is home- a city crafted by the Gods, hidden underneath the sea away from prying eyes. Her destiny is to follow in the footsteps of her father, leading her district and the people that live there- a life Corinna finds terribly boring. 

When Corinna is told that she must marry in order to inherit her fathers title, she is stunned. When that man turns out to be the nephew to the King- next in line to the throne- she is even more surprised. What follows is a courtship between her and the charming, handsome heir to the throne, and Corinna begins to think that maybe a life with him could be content. That is, until a series of events transpires that pushes Corinna out of the safety of her city and into the net of a pirate ship. One whose captain has been incessantly searching for the lost city, and the riches that are sure to follow. 

A prisoner on the ship, Corinna must use her wits to escape, and keep her city safe from the ruthless captain that seeks to destroy it. It won't be easy. There is danger around every corner. From pirate attacks, to shipwrecks, to seamonsters, and a certain dashing young pirate that makes her question everything, she will struggle to survive.
