Technically, I was in elementary school the first time I had my fiction published. I wrote a story based on true events about my younger sister's back surgeries. It was titled Alicia's Alarm, and the short story was published in Guideposts for Kids Magazine. Though years have passed from that time to now, I have always enjoyed writing. I received a journalism degree from Rowan University, and I have spent a lot of time freelancing for newspapers. I've always loved fiction, though, and have pages of notes on novels I have been writing and intend on writing. I am now excited to have my first novel, Future Vision, being published through Metal Lunchbox Publishing. Future Vision is a young adult novel with a science fiction base and a romance plot sure to thrill pre-teen and teenage girls. Check back soon to learn more about Future Vision.
Here's how I described Future Vision in my query letter to Metal Lunchbox Publishing: Samantha Bell is an ambitious high school student when she visits the Future Vision attraction at a state fair. This attraction allows viewers to see up to twenty seconds of highlights of their personal future. However, for safety reasons, viewers must ingest a dissolvable pill afterward, causing them to forget what they had just witnessed. Samantha tries to take the future into her own hands, though, when she smuggles a pen inside the attraction. Although she was forced to forget what she had seen, she leaves the attraction with three words written on her hand: Snow, fight, and ca. She knows that she has to figure out what those three words mean before the event they’re about occurs and her future is ruined.
Congrats Ellen!!! That's so exciting, I can't wait to read your book. (I'm sure my inner pre-teen girl will be thrilled!) :)
