Warm welcome today to Elle Cardy.
Thanks,
Susan, for letting me take over your blog for the day.
Confession
time: Getting no further than its first draft state, I set the story aside. I
foolishly thought it wasn’t good enough. Years later—yes, years—I read through
it. Even though it had missing sections, mainly descriptions, it was good. Way
better than I had thought. I felt like such a goose because of all that wasted
time. I quickly polished it into a little gem. And I learned an important
lesson: Don’t let doubts hold you back. If there is something you want to do,
stop comparing yourself to others, stop listening to your fears. Get off your
proverbial and get it done! If you hit roadblocks, then find a way around. Time
is short. Don’t waste it.
Wielder’s Prize by Elle Cardy
A young adult
fantasy adventure
To survive the outside forces, she must first control
the inside forces.
Snatched from the
only home she’s ever known aboard the Wielder’s
Prize, Jasmine is forced to work as a crew member of a different ship. To
survive, Jasmine must dodge her captor who has a personal vendetta against her,
outsmart a fearsome magic wielder who has taken a dangerous interest in her,
and get back to her ship. Somehow.
Just when she
thinks things couldn’t get worse, she learns she too is a wielder—an untrained
wielder who is a threat to everyone on board if she can’t control her magic.
And she’s not the only out-of-control wielder on the high seas. The secret of
that wielder could shatter everything Jasmine thought she knew.
Time and hope is
running out. At any cost, she must get back to her ship and discover the truth
behind all the secrets before everything is lost.
The ebook and
paperback are now available on Amazon
