The Redpoint Crux COVER REVEAL!!!
Monday, January 6, 2020
I'm so happy to post my cover reveal of THE REDPOINT CRUX!!!
This book means a lot to me. It's gone through so much. From signing with my first agent, to going on submission. To signing it with another agent, and going on submission again. I finally submitted to publishers, and signed a deal with The Parliament House. I've loved working with them!
This book holds many pieces of me. From ballet. To rock climbing. To a haunted theater. All my favorite things!
Here's the blurb:
When Megan Van Helsburg gets kicked off the U.S.A. Climbing Team, she has no choice but to return home and leave her climbing career behind. With no coach, no money, and no prospects, she joins the corps de ballet determined to improve her strength and agility.
But the ballet theater is in dire straits. Not only do a series of murders break loose, but the ballerinas are becoming deathly thin and brain-dead. As Megan investigates, she meets Bellamy, a tortured young man who lives beneath the depths of the theater. Megan falls hard and fast for Bellamy, who becomes her mentor, but something is off about him.
It isn't until the company announces they're doing Giselle for the fall performance that Megan realizes the parallels between the ghost story and the lives around her. Megan must find a way to not only save her climbing career, but stop the murders and dying girls before she too, is numbered among the dead.
And without further ado:

The Redpoint Crux
Monday, October 28, 2019
I'm so happy to announce that the release date for THE REDPOINT CRUX is...
JUNE 9th 2020!!!!
This book means a lot to me.
It had quite the run with being on sub with agents and then being rewritten several times until it morphed into what it is.
It's ROCK CLIMBING.
It's BALLET.
It's a HAUNTED THEATER.
It's dark and immersive and mysterious.
And it's my heart.
It would mean the world to me if you added on Goodreads. Here's the link: Click me. And as always, check out my website if you want to! morganshamy.com
I hope you are all well. I'm doing my best to get back in to blogging and visit you again!!!

Alaska, Agents, and Goodreads!
Sunday, April 7, 2019
It’s been too long since I’ve posted!
But I need to get back into blogging, because I’ve missed the blogging world, and all my blogging friends!
Personal Update: Life up here in Alaska is so fantastic. It really is Camelot. Every day is a miracle. I love the cold and the dark, and I could live here forever.
Writing Update: I’ve just signed with Kelly Peterson of Rees Literary Agency, and I’m working on revisions right now. She is wonderful!
I also have a YA Gothic Mystery novel coming out spring of 2020! It’s entitled, The Redpoint Crux, and I would LOVE for you to add it to your Goodreads! Here is the link: Click here.
Any updates with you? I hope you are all wonderful. I adore you all! Good to see you all again!

The Year Of Lightning!!!
Wednesday, May 6, 2015
Once upon a time… there was a nerdy writer girl who didn't have any friends on twitter:
 |
| Nerdy scared girl. |
But then she met a friend who was super nice and had the same writerly aspirations/interests as her. (Wanting to take over the universe by using orbital death rays, inventing cake vending machines, respect for evil overlords who executed rebels… yanno, the usual)
 |
| Yay Friends! |
The two became great friends and even beta read for each other. The girl had beta read some scary books in her day, so she was relieved when her friend had real talent.
The friends even went to fun conferences together and plotted how some day they would be successful authors and teach classes on world-building, perseverance, and how to turn normal words into slang by adding apostrophes.
Aside from writing, these two friends were like-minded in other ways. Like how they felt about sports:
Or the questions about ninjas that kept them up at night:
Then something fabulous happened. The girl's friend signed a three-book-deal with Jolly Fish Press and she was SO happy she got to reveal his cover on her blog!!!
Cue cover reveal:
Amazon Pre-order link.
Ryan is holding a contest! If you want to participate, here are the rules:
How would you fight a
lightning storm? In one paragraph, tell us exactly how you’d do
it, and don’t hold back! Get as crazy/silly/stupid/super-tough as you want.
The sky is literally the limit. We’ll pick a winner from
each participating blog, and I will send each winner a package containing an
awesome secret clue to the central mystery in THE YEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Thank you, Ryan, for letting me be part of your cover reveal. You're a wonderful friend and I'm so excited for your success!!!

Don't. Give. Up.

I’ve been in one of those periods in life where I’ve been in a storm for so long, I wasn’t sure the clouds were ever going to clear. But I’ve experienced some moments this past week that have struck me deeper than anything has ever struck me before. I want to speak directly to you, because I know that you’ll all understand on some level what I’m talking about.
We push. And cry. And push again. Obstacle upon obstacle finds itself in our path, and we find ourselves in a place where we can either stop, keep pushing, or find a way around the obstacle. But what if the obstacle is ourselves? What if the obstacle isn’t something that can be defeated overnight, or even in a few years, or ever? Sometimes obstacles are nothing tangible, nothing that anyone else can remove. Nothing but demon voices in our head telling us that we’re not capable of greatness.
The fight is real. And the storms can last for years. But sometimes, there’s this little spark deep inside of us that won’t let us quit. It’s this little voice that TELLS us to hold on. That all isn’t lost, even though the tears won’t stop and we can’t see any light.
But sometimes… there are moments where events unfold and suddenly you realize that the storm itself was a miracle. That the clouds that were covering you was only a way to help guide you to where you really needed to be. That the pain experienced was so absolutely necessary because we wouldn’t be able to create and become who we need to become without it.
I really don’t want this post to be cheesy, but I love you. All of you. All of you who are reading this, even if you’re a person who doesn’t particularly like me very much. :)
This past year has been difficult, with storms so intense that it’s been a struggle to find any kind of footing. Friendships have been gained. Friendships lost. Some people disappear during these difficult times, while others hold on and give you that hand you need to pull yourself out of the darkness.
I recently had one of my close friends have some huge success, and I look back to when she doubted herself. And having read her manuscript, I KNEW that it would make it—that it would be the one to secure a big publisher. I remember telling her to trust in that feeling… that feeling she first felt when she sat down to put the words on the page. That FEELING that floods into your whole being when you tap into that place where creativity happens.
Sometimes all we have is that feeling—and it’s the only thing we have to push us forward. But it’s enough, if we allow it to be enough. It’s incredible what can happen in the darkness, if we just hold onto the little bits of light that we can find. I know we all have our own special story to tell, and all of our journeys are epic in their own way, but I’m pleading with you to keep going. Because time and time again, I keep learning that through each wave, no matter how big, we can emerge from it on the other side a stronger and better person.

A Day In The Life With WOVEN…
Wednesday, February 4, 2015
We all know books can change your life.
But they can also completely disrupt your life… unless you know how to function *while* reading them… especially one you can't put down…
My experience with WOVEN…
I managed to write and read at the same time…
My mad face when Mr. Woven beat me at Pictionary…
He even comforted me in the scary part of movies…
I've lost count with how many different positions I read in…
A day wouldn't be complete without watching the sunset together…
And big smiles all around with what a fantastic book WOVEN is!!!!!!
I'm so proud of David Powers King and Michael Jensen. I don't know Michael well (but I know he's wonderful!), and I consider David one of my most favorite friends. He's not only a talented writer, but he's one of the kindest, most genuine people I know. (He's also married to a gorgeous red head, which automatically gives him huge bonus points) :)
My review:
Woven is such a beautiful story!!! This book contains the
kind of magic I’ve been missing in stories for a while. I love the uniqueness
of the fantasy world… I was sucked in from the start and immersed completely
with the plot and characters. Pacing was
great. Writing was beautiful. It’s the kind of story that is timeless---where
it will easily hold its own in today’s crowded market and for years to come. Action,
adventure, ghosts, magic, romance… I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!
Thanks, DPK for letting me be a part of your Woven tour, and I'm so excited to see more Woven success!!!!
Red. Head. Out. :)
