“What do you mean I’m not human?”
“Did I stutter?” Chase asked mockingly.Kerissa’s never been one to attract attention, but when her touch causes someone to go unconscious, all eyes are on her. Accused of exposure, Kerissa is then kidnapped as the elephant in the room is addressed; she's a Demmortal. Half demon, half human.

Chase is part of DEM, a team of Demmortals who enforce Demmortal law under the elusive Mr. Rene. He has no problems expressing his disinterest when Mr. Rene announces Kerissa will be joining DEM.

Expecting DEM to be many things, —ninjas or even scary men with tattoos— Kerissa is floored when what she sees are five teens with more baggage than the local airport. Living a life of capturing criminals is bound to give you some, alright, a lot of issues. Mixing an unadventurous girl with a group of callous fighters, what the hell was Rene thinking?

However, things don’t seem to add up and nobody has the answers, much as they try to pretend. Even worse, a certain criminal seems adamant on bringing DEM down but no one knows why. As Kerissa digs deeper into the powerful world she's been thrust in, dangerous questions will be asked leaving her wondering who the real villain is. And when every face she meets is of a stranger, who can actually be trusted?

This'll be a great book, you know, if I ever finish it. - Nova @ Out of Time

Guys, I never thought I would write a book. I mean, the last thing I did was two years ago and it was a Twilight [un]fanfiction. I promised myself that I wasn't going to do anymore wriing because that [un]fanfiction was a trainwreck but I spend so much time around authors and books, this is BOUND to happen and it did.

Seventh Sense is about a bad boy, a sassy girl and how no one in life is a real hero. I think that's the pitch. Yes??? Yess????

It's definitely a highlight of 2014, even though I started in November. I tried to be a pantser and I hated it so I planned. I have a 14 page word doc of the plan for every chapter of this book. It's quite glorious and if I lose it, my life would pretty much be over.

I've always heard authors talking about how their book is like a part of themselves and I never really understood it. until now. Obviously, I don't class myself as a good author, but I'm trying and I think I'm doing pretty well.

And if I ever finish it, it's going to be my greatest accomplishment in life. Right now, it's at 22 chapters and five published on Wattpad with a thousand views and I know, it isn't that big of a deal but it is to me.

So now my question to you is have you ever done NaNoWriMo? And if you have, how was your experience? And what's the status of the book you wrote?
