TITLE: AND THEN THERE WAS VICTOR (on WATTPAD) AUTHOR: Isabelle Olmo YoungAdult/NewAdult, for cursing and adult themes

Set in the 1990s! Victor Manning has been infuriating Becka since she sat behind him in 7th grade English. He's cocky, self-centered, obnoxious, and above all, he's somehow discovered that she has a crush on Clem.  His teasing of her crush has her climbing on his car and spelling ASSHOLE with her red lipstick on his windshield. But the end of High School has all of Becka's friends moving away and she's stuck going to the local university knowing only Victor.  

BOOK 1 OF THE PATTY GIRL SERIES!

"You're welcome," he said.

"Do me a favor, don't lend me helping hands."

"But you got to dance with dashing Clemente," he glanced at the ballroom. "Cost me a pretty argument but you're welcome."

I studied him; he was completely sober, nothing like he was earlier, and I opened my mouth to question him, but he pursed his lips.

"I told you, find yourself someone who says fuck it all and goes after you," he said. "Aren't you tired of chasing after Clem?"

"I'm not -"

"Yeah, you are, you're still chasing," he smirked and sauntered back into the dancing fray.

BETA READERS NEEDED!

** ATTENTION **

HELLO EVERYONE! Long-time no chat! I need a bit of help!

I have finished my first original manuscript and I'm seeking 5 BETA READERS that are willing to read the entire manuscript (117,000 words) and provide me with developmental feedback. If you are willing and have the time please send me a private message and we can exchange emails!

I need the feedback for the manuscript in the next 2-3 weeks so if this is something you're willing and able to do please let me know! Below is a synopsis of the book:

The book is called For the Kingdom, this is a fantasy romance with a strong and assertive female lead. It has tones of feminism and romance with no magical elements. The female lead is a WOC, her allies are lgbtq+, diversity ftw! NOTE: This is adult fiction; there are themes of child abuse, harsh language, torture, death, rape, mutilations. I want to make sure people are comfortable. 

Newly widowed High Lady Almira has one goal; to end the war that took her husband's life. To unite the Kingdom she offers her hand to the King - the same man who battled against her husband. Believing in her political cunning, the lessons of her ambitious father, and her impressive lineage, she plans to control the Kingdom and the crown. What she doesn't expect is that King Alton is not the man she thought he was. He is moody, difficult, combative, and irresponsible. She hoped theirs would be a marriage of respect but she's confronted with the reality of such a man. With enemies coming at all sides, a father who disapproves of her decisions, and a husband to manage, will peace reign or is it out of her reach?

Thank you for your time!

(this pitching yourself is the worst)

I don't know if maybe you get email notifications or something and I know you've gone for a long time, but I think your blog got hacked! It's been posting pictures of girls (at least what I can see). Maybe change your password?

Thank you to everyone who emailed me, I know I don’t post anymore but we certainly don’t want this account to be turned into a pornhub. Thanks to Tumblr staff for helping me get back in the account and I changed the password to a super secret and unecessary complicated one :)
