We interrupt our regular schedule to bring you this post. I recently got back into bookstagram.

Well, today she texted me to let me know that she has finally set up her website and is now on Twitter and Instagram! Please follow her at @authorpremk and support a young writer! Her first novel should be coming out later this year – it is called Midnight Castle; A Souls Of Darkness Novel, and is a paranormal romance involving vampires. The synopsis for the second one is not up on her website yet, but it is called Wheel Of Death…
