NOW READING: The Ascendance Trilogy by Jennifer Nielson

And an Interview with Jennifer Nielson!

 

A couple of months ago I went to my local library to see Jennifer Nielson speak at a book signing. As an aspiring writer I consider it my responsibility to attend as many author’s appearances and conferences as possible. The more I learn, especially from firsthand accounts of success, or even firsthand accounts of failure before success, the better writer I can be.

Prior to seeing the flyer on the bulletin board, I had never heard of Jennifer Nielson before. A friend had briefly mentioned The Ascendance Trilogy to me, but I confess I may not have been paying attention. 😦

Mrs. Nielson was so enthusiastic, and I was so much encouraged in my own efforts after hearing her story, I ended up with a complete set of the books before the night was over.

The light of the sun went white when I opened my eyes, sending fire through my brain. My fingers clutched at the asphalt without my permission.

Breathing in and out in rapid succession gave me little relief. From either the pain or the thoughts running through my head at high speeds.

Tyler was missing, Ethan was dying, and Colonel Payne was on his way to rescue us from a crash site he couldn’t possibly have learned about so fast. The pit in my stomach turned into a whirlpool. Bringing a hand to my forehead, pressing the icy skin against the sweat on my brow, brought my mind back to these matters.

I pushed myself onto my elbows. I could see Ethan’s pallor getting worse in the back of my mind. Tyler was nowhere I could see him. Which might be good news.
