The post I could get sued for



New Covers

So, I finally felt inspired enough to make some new 'covers' for my serials. They were all inspired by  other YA books but, mostly Sarah Dessen. I've posted some of them and their original  inspirations here.






































You can see the rest of the cover redesgins on  shawnaharrison.yolasite.com



Role Call 

So, the characters are give or take 5 years older. I never really had picspirations for them, I just couldn't find any but, I have finally found some who are similar. I am only doing characters who have appeared so far.

Juliana Clark : Mix between young Anna Paquin & Amanda Seyfried 


Rhett Clark : I never had an inspiration for him but, the moment I saw Ian Harding I was like he looks just as I imagine Rhett. I always new Rhett would have wavy or curly hair  but, I was afraid that would make him to much like Sawyer.


Jocelyn Sullivan-Clark : Andie McDowell, I think I said Minnie Driver at some point as well.
Savannah Clark : Elizabeth Gilles

Cody : Am  I allowed to use Jamie Campbell twice ? His look in The AMC series the Prisoner is almost exactly how I imagined Cody in RGGS .

Genre Maltov

I did want to clarify some of the genres I am using. I say Christian fiction when I should have said religious fiction. There will be some religious undertones (and overtones) in this work but, what can I say . . .  I can't resist the occasional NSFW scene.

As for the women's fiction part, I meant it would also deal with themes more related to women

Ah, those trenches
  I hate that I invinted this phrase, it sounds so depressing but, I am in the trenches with this story constantly re-tweaking it. I am in no rush to finish it because I have nothing else in my head right now and I have to say . . . it's a little lonely. I think I'll be sad if I don't have anymore plots to work out

On Higher Ground

It is is a few days after Christmas, Rhett and Juliana have their first kiss as Rhett boards a bus from Union Hill, Mississippi to the Coast Guard Training School in Elizabethtown, North Carolina . . .

  2. That A/n freaked me out because I thought you were going to say that was the end. How on earth did you squeeze that into a few paragraph ?

  5. even though Rhett keeps saying it I don't think Juliana really knew what she was getting in to. .. but wasn't Rhett's dad in the military, wouldn't his mother be able to help her.

  6. Was the orginal of the Digby cover used in UL2 or maybe it was Veritas ?

  8. It feels like Rhett and Julie's relationship is giving me whiplash.

  9. The Teenage Dream cover is TDF ! For some reason Savannah came across as a really interesting character in this part.

  10. I noticed you use quotes in the content section. . . are they all song lyrics ?

    ReplyDelete
  11. woah ! Woah ! woah ! I thought the cover for IVB had Mr. Townson's name which I thought was odd but it is my username ! so glad I used my small biz name for my username !

  12. The talk of War did make me think that Rhett was dead but I was just hoping he wasn't (:

    ReplyDelete
  13. Any ideas on what song lyrics Rhett was reciting to Juliana over the phone.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Is Juliana staying because of Rhett or because of the promise she made to the church ?

    ReplyDelete
  15. The section with Little Victories just made the song make a whole lot of sense to me.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Five years ? I would never wait that long. Can't help but to still root for Juliana/Sawyer a little bit.

  17. The RGGSs cover looks like Twilight ! ! !!

  18. , “It’s just I thought when we got married I’d never have to say good bye like that again.”

  19. Are we ever going to find out exactly what Rhett does or is that not Civvy information ? Although having a job with "missions" sounds pretty cool

    ReplyDelete
  20. I hate it when people call room "childhood bedrooms", IDK I mean it's still your room when you aren't a child.

  21. the UL and UL2 covers go together really well for some reason.

    ReplyDelete
  22. For some reason the Rhett in this chapter reminded me a little bit of the Rhett in UL.

  23. Linda-- Oh, hon. Thanks !

    Maylights-- I couldn't do it that's how it became 2 chapters.

    Happyapple-- Thanks,mine too !

    LorriC- Really ? I love her look in that picture so . . . innocent.

    Natalie- I agree, she didn't really know. Rhett's mom is helping her and I think the fact that her husband was in the military is part of the reason.

    Joi C-- I think it was either Veritas or IVB.

    CranberriV--lol!

    Redrose- What do you mean by that ? It is the back and forth ?

    Trichelle- I'm glad.

    Missy- Yep, they are lyrics from a song in that chapter.

    Maylights-- I wanted to use a quote for all of them but, I had a hard time finding them.

    Coraline-- I wouldn't do that ( I mean, I would but, I didn't.)

    Ft. Life-- No clue.

    NillaLatte- Both.

    Corrine-- I am reusing that song (it was in UL2) and I am surprised how well it fit in.

    Sawlisa-- Even with a username like that ? Yes, it is a long time but, he is hoping to transfer.

    NMC-- omg, it does! I just noticed this.

    Holli_day- I know right ?

  24. Why is Rhett graduating in Memphis, I mean do they usually shuffle people around like that.

    ReplyDelete


  25. HappyApple-- I think we will find out. However in the Coast Guard a "mission" could simply be delivering supplies.

    Sweetie32--That is an AMAZING point.

    sundancechix- Thanks ! I wanted them to look like they go together.

    Carleigh-As he should . . .

  26. I saw something I wanted to theorize about but I can't remember what it was ):

    Also that red sports car reminded me of Cortland. . . idk why

    ReplyDelete
  27. Tanya- Well, in the real world a person would go to school for 3 months in North Carolina and 1 month in California and then graduate in California.

    I changed it to Memphis to use that song. I mean there are no coasts in Tennessee . . .

    ReplyDelete
  28. @ Tabbi-- Me too about the Cortland thing. Don't look to much into it.
