This is an updated photo of my cover for my Young Adult Fantasy novel The Prophecy. Which is the first book in The Crew series. I’m so excited to slowly but surely see this world that was initally a few dot points on paper come to life.

This is my cover for my current Young Adult fantasy novel The Prophecy, which is the first book in the Crew Trilogy. In which we follow Alex a 16 year old girl who is just living her everyday normal life until she is thrust into a world ridden by a civil war and with the help of her friends she discovers not only the land of Libro Novus but the Prophecy that dictates the land. The Prophecy that speaks of her.

Lamps are different but the light is the same ~ Rumi.

As a longtime Star Wars fan who has grown up in the era of the prequels, clone wars and *shudders* the sequels. I have come to learn what an incredible arc Anakin had over the course of the Skywalker Saga he came a long way from that little boy that we met in Tatooine, but still even after all the pain and destruction he brought on others I still believe his heart was the same, he still cared deeply about those that he loved. And losing Padmé locked his heart away and made it cold and impossible to reach, that was until Luke came along in Episode 6 and echoed the same words that Padmé had pleaded long ago on Mustafar.

Alright that aside I really just wanted an excuse to post a picture of my figurine!
