Hello, hello!

For those of you new here (which is everyone), welcome to my blog. I've tried keeping a blog in the past, but it has never worked out. But this time, unlike every other time, I'm determined. So here is my blog: Confessions of a Novelist. Yes, I am a writer. I'm not published, but that's because I just love taking my dear, sweet time writing novels.

My current work is Revolutionary. If I tell you the plot, you have to promise not to jump down my throat. "Jessie, that is so cliche!" "Jessie, that's so overdone!" "Why don't you go get an original idea!" I know people think that. Just listen: dystopian novel, set in the New American Colonies, because the world has gone to crap, Europe as a whole disintigrated, and America and Russia moved in before anyone else could, splitting the continent in half. Unfortunately for this society, after less than one hundred years, their world gets just as screwed up as it had been before. Now, women have been turned almost into actual objects. No speaking in public, cover your hair and face at all times, don't cut your hair, etc. etc. The daughter of a duke is set to marry the prince of the NAC, Jefferson Jefferson III, in fact, she's walking down the aisle on her wedding day when the book starts! But then, the group of rebels who had been almost nonexistent since the death of Victoria Schmidt's mother kidnap Victoria and hold her for ransom. If the king doesn't change the laws that are oppressing women, they will slaughter Victoria and make the entire country watch - and then they'll come after the king. Can't tell you much of what happens after that, but let me tell you - it involves threats of disembowelment, making out in a broom closet, a secret marriage, betrayal, revenge, and a dreaded love triangle that I swore I would write out but love too much to do so.

I don't have anything else to say. Check back for more posts or for the pages to be updated. You know you want to find out what happens to Victoria. Does she help the rebel women or turn them in? What about her little sister who's left to fend for herself at the palace? Who will she marry? What will happen to the queen? The king? The country itself? I promise that you might find out soon enough...

Until then.
