Synopsis

Marie Angeletti is young, beautiful and happy. But life has given her certain attributes that she quickly realizes come with pain and sacrifice. Raised into a super-human through mind-programming, she can do almost anything she wants, until she realizes she is in love with her best friend, Michael Shaw.

Michael has been targeted by a criminal mastermind who experiments in his own kind of mind programming that always ends in the death of his subjects. Marie is unsure if she can go on without knowing if her friend loves her too, but she finds out too late that even though she can protect him, a price must be paid.

Angelic tells a story of love and pain. It's about teenagers in high school, about crime on the streets, and what lengths one girl will go to protect the one she loves.

Re-write.

Has it really been so long since I began this story?  I am not even really sure why I am writing this;  I unfortunately don't have any real updates at this very moment.  It has been so long since I typed anything on here, posting another (seemingly) pointless thought of mine is actually harder than you would think.

Right around this time last year, I paid someone to read through the story as it stands on Nook and Kindle right now and give me feedback for what needs to change.  I received a very macro level, very helpful overview on what I needed to fix to improve this story.  Getting feedback on something that so quickly becomes like another child can be hard, but I was, (and still am) still determined to give this story the attention it deserves.  I began my re-write and got about 1.5 chapters into it, sent that to my editor, and was given the nod that I was heading in the right direction.

However, my intentions almost went to naught because I began teaching at my local community college, an endeavor what was necessary for many different reasons, but the end result was that the story of Michael and Marie got shelved.  Shelved that is, until May of this year.  I was not given the opportunity to teach any summer classes for the community college, and so I became determined to not let this "free-time" in the summer go to waste.  I say free-time with some serious tongue-in-cheek since me and my wife are so incredibly busy that we scarcely have time to breathe.

Anyway, that is where I am today.  Chapter six is about finished.  Up to this point it has been a completely new, (only with very few minor selections from the prior text).  Hopefully at some point I will be able to begin using more of the old text as the changes I make begin to meld better with what I wrote before.  But if it never does, I will still press on, even if I have to re-write the entire thing.  I have to believe that the story of Michael and Marie is worth telling; and worth telling right.  Hopefully, I will be done by August 18th... when classes resume.
