Writing Frenzy!!!

Those of you that know me outside of the blogosphere know that I love to write.  I have loved writing ever since I was a child, and lately I've been in a bit of a writing frenzy. Over the last 3 years I have actively attempted to participate in National Novel Writing Month. It's known to writers as NaNoWriMo, or NaNo for short. I've never finished any of my novels.  To prepare myself, in the month of October, I've been on a writing frenzy for this little gem:

A Chance At Paradise is the prequel to my new series, called "God's Spotlight" Each novel will deal with a different girl facing a crisis between her life and faith, often dealing with complications from love, glory and fame.

The prequel to the God's Spotlight Series follows Daviana Sales, a senior at East Los High in Los Angeles. 

Seventeen year old Daviana has the life every girl wants. Pretty and popular, Daviana is the new captain of the varsity cheerleaders, has some of the best grades in school and is on track to score the lead in the school play. 

Daviana has her eye on star quarterback Xavier Delgado, determined to make him her leading man. Before she can be with him, the shocking truth comes out. Xavier has a reputation for sleeping with the prettiest girls in school.

When Daviana auditions for A Chance at Paradise, the school play, she finds a new love, the theater.  She also becomes smitten with the play's writer, quiet, modest and God fearing soccer star Teodoro Reyes. But Teodoro and Daviana come from two different worlds... Everything flips on its head when Daviana is cast as the lead in A Chance At Paradise, and Xavier wins the male lead role. Just when all is going well,  Xavier must deal with a crisis, and Daviana has to convince Teodoro that it is time to step out of the shadows, and into the spotlight.

 Daviana will go on to make an appearance in my NaNoWriMo novel  On The Edge of Paradise, coming in November. I'll post more about that novel as it gets closer. Both novels have some compromising material, but they also embody the struggles faced by those who follow (as well as those who have fallen away from) the Christian Faith.
