July 1st is a BIIIIIIGGGG Day here!

Tomorrow is going to be a day worth marking on the calendars to stop by and visit my blog! Why? Three exciting reasons!


1) Follow this trail and discover great new writers this summer. These free reads include short stories, serial installments, deleted scenes and book excerpts from published and unpublished authors. This trail will run from the beginning of July through the end of September, and stops will be updated on the first of every month, so you can enjoy a summer of reading. You are encouraged to explore authors' websites and blogs, to take a moment to leave them a comment and to bookmark sites and visit often. Tomorrow I will be posting the first chapter of Melody's Song for your reading enjoyment!



2) Starting tomorrow, author Cate Hart http://www.catehart.wordpress.com/ will be doing weekly dual posts about various topics affecting writers and readers. We plan to touch on a wide range of topics, so each week will be a surprise!






3) CANADA DAY!

O Canada!Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Oh how I love July 1st!

Now I'm an offical blogger!

Welcome to my blog! This is my very first post and I am so excited you're here (Thank goodness someone found me!). So who am I? Kendal Ashby at your service. I am a writer of YA (Young Adult) and adult sweet-contemporary romance.



My brand spanking new website is http://www.kendalashby.com/ and I hope you visit for more information on myself and what I write.



I am currently elbow deep into edits on my first full lenght YA book called Melody's Song. I will be attending a huge (think the Oscar's of movie awards) conference in Washington, D.C. in three weeks where I hope to wow an agent into representing me in the big world of publication!



I will be posting the first chapter of Melody's Song and other snippets of work in progress so stay tuned.



Thanks for visiting! Cheers!

Kendal
