MishaGerrick

This is NOT a self-help book. One month and three days away from turning 34, Misha Gerrick is feeling like her entire life imploded. The process started years ago, in 2014, but after years of staggering through loss after loss and day after day like life just isn't making any sense at all, one big question has started to hit her with one giant blow: Is this REALLY what life is supposed to be? This book will be difficult. It will go into some dark and thorny places as Misha digs into her experience and very existence to figure out this project called LIFE, and how to live it. Someone else might find this process as a useful, painful, maybe even beautiful inroads into thinking some troublesome thoughts about what it all even means, but it is NOT a self-help book.There is no one way to live life, and this is just about how one person decided to go about finding fulfilment and a sense of joy in the everyday business of living.…

After discovering her parents had kept a whole world secret, Callan races to discover her past. Not easy to do with an increasingly agitated entity inhabiting her soul. Going to her long-lost elvish roots should answer all her questions. Instead, she ends up in the middle of a nightmare. The elves are on the verge of an apocalyptic war. Their enemy, King Aurek of Icaimerith, will only be appeased if Callan marries his heir. It's either her life getting messed up, or an entire country's lives lost. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Because when the entity wants the elves blotted out of existence, saving them gets taken to a whole new level of complicated.…

"First, do no harm." Blake Ryan swore that oath to become a doctor. Ironic, given that he spent most of his thousand year life sucking souls out of other immortals. Things are different now. Using regular shots of morphine to keep his inner monster at bay, Ryan has led a quiet life since the Second World War. His thrills now come from saving lives, not taking them. Until a plane crash brings Aleria into his hospital. Her life is vibrant. Crack to predators like him. She's the exact sort of person they would hunt, and thanks to a severe case of amnesia, she's all but defenseless. Leaving Aleria vulnerable isn't an option, but protecting her means unleashing his own inner monster. Which is a problem, because his inner monster wants her dead most of all.…

Part 3 of 100 Things You Should Know About Writing will mainly feature writing technique, but I'm due to veer off on some other writing-related tangent.
