《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @AdriannaRaines3172, author of Mysteries and Mayhem

I have always wanted to write a fantasy/ paranormal book. Magic is definitely something that has intrigued me for a long time and so, I decided to write my imaginations and ideas in the form of Mysteries and Mayhem
I guess connecting the dots has definitely been the most difficult part for me. When you write a book, it must do justice to the characters and the overall plot. Leaving behind important plot points or inability to describe a necessary situation drags the story down and doesn't leave a favourable impression on the readers. I want my readers to be satisfied with my book, and that has been the most difficult work for me.
Mysteries and Mayhem is definitely my most successful project up until now. It has gotten 5.08K reads so far (in 9 months). Right now, I'm editing and still trying to bring about new and improved changes to the storyline.
I have definitely enjoyed writing the magical fights that occur throughout the book. Creating spells is also one thing that I have enjoyed the most.

Initially, it was meant to be a standalone, but now, I have decided to make it into a series.
I want the readers to take away the happy moments that the characters cherished in the book. It is a kind of story that a person of any age can relate to and that is what, I believe, the readers will love about this book.

Write what you want to read. If you don't like your story, no one else will. Also, if you are writing something only because it is in trend at the moment and not because got really want to write something like that, I suggest that you should think again, because whatever is in trend now, might not be tomorrow. Make the smart choice.

Rosalyn is kind, generous and helpful to her friends and everyone she cares about. She can be callous and vicious when it comes to defending her friends and that's kind of an amplified version of how I see myself. I do share some similarities with her, but not so much as Kristen, another lead in the book. Kristen is definitely someone that I can relate to the most. She's an introvert, protective of her friends, afraid of letting others know about her feelings and she has a darkness behind all of the charm and quiet something that I definitely do.
Definitely the twists and turns. You can never be sure of who is actually the villain of the story. One moment you are in love with a character and in the very next moment, they are your staunch enemies. So yeah, that's the way I had planned it all along and if you are a fan of such cliffhangers that keep you on the edge of your seat, you are definitely in the right place.

Right now, I'm mostly focused on editing Mysteries and Mayhem and writing its sequel. I have many projects that I have planned, which could last a lifetime, but you can surely expect more fantasy/ paranormal books from me.

Exhuman
If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse. Shunned and feared, these Exhumans are often violent, ever misunderstood, and always dangerous. In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched. But living on the other side, Athan begins to discover why Exhumans go bad, and begins the impossible task of becoming more than just his powers. Athan is dedicated to use his Exhumanity only for good, but is that enough to survive in a world where his very existence is a crime? Release schedule: Exhuman updates five times weekly: Exhuman is finished! After 500 chapters, it's come to an end. Thank you for your support through the years that this story ran!
