Hi everyone, and happy 2019!
I finally finished my first draft of Tess Short Book one!
I began writing this story and posting chapters on this blog in 2016, and finished writing it in 2019, so I've been working on this book for two and a half years. I should also briefly mention that this was one of my first stories, so my writing was slightly different then, than it is now.
I am happy to have written a story with Tess as a main character, and I hope to write the second book, sometime, though not really soon, because another story is calling me.
Also, this story was written for a younger audience than my other books, so in a way it is a children's novel. Another thing I should mention is that in this novel some of the characters are parodies of Lord of the Rings characters. ;)

Excerpts-
I tried to include excerpts that are recent but don't really spoil the story.
"Oh.” she said, but didn’t seem so convinced, but decided not to ask, sometimes new comers were different in unusual ways, but…he didn’t seem so unusual, maybe, it was just her, but she thought he was elvish in a way with his golden curled hair, and deep blue eyes, but he was a hobbit, so how could he be elvish?
-Chapter 32.
He didn’t catch much of what she said after that except for a few words, “Magic”, “Mistake”, and “Wasn’t my fault” though the last one was three words.
-Chapter 30

The Story Soundtrack-
You can also listen to it here
This was one of the first story soundtracks I created so it has a mix of different songs, including songs from Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and a few Disney songs.

What was one of your first books you ever finished writing the rough draft of?
-Quinley
P.S. My next novel that I plan to write is a Fantasy novel, and here is one of the songs from the story soundtrack that I am making for it:

That's all I am going to say for now, and you are left to wonder what the story is about. ;)
