IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE: Skull Juggler: Disenchanted by Natalia Locatelli (me) is NOW ON AMAZON!! Anyone interested, please please PLEASE buy it! :D It's 9.95 and it has a very pretty cover (joy). Please get it! http://www.amazon.com/Skull-Juggler-Disenchanted-Natalia-Locatelli/dp/1933437154/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220890312&sr=8-1 This is the link :) gooooooooo!

Quick update: Hi guys, it's October 15th as I write this. I've disappeared under the pile of homework and exams I'm going through right now. As it is my final semester of college, I'm trying to leave on a high note. As a result, my writing has slowed down but it has not disappeared! I have outlined Vocare Prabia and I now know how and when it will end. As a side note, once this story is finished I will be severely editing old chapters to smooth out the crinkles in the story-telling. This story was written over the course of about five years, written with a friend, written alone, written during writer's block, and left alone for about two years. I want to make the story as good as it can be so although I won't touch it until I've finished, I want my reviewers to know that I hear their criticisms and I cringe at them too. They will be fixed and they will be revised. Unfortunately, the Labyrinth of the Heart update will need to wait even longer than I expected. I thought I had my old files but as it turns out, I never transfered these files to even my old laptop. As some of you may know, my old OLD laptop crashed and lost a lot of my even older files. It turns out that I never bothered to download the chapters of Labyrinth of the Heart I had online. Plus, I have taken a gander at Twists and Turns, breathed into a paper bag for a while, and returned with a clearer head. It's pretty awful in terms of writing and style (I wrote that SO many years ago, it isn't even funny). So I'm considering editing Twists and Turns before I even touch its sequel. The story will not change, only the style will be updated. Just a heads up though that this is going on and may delay things.

Lunar Expedition has become my recent obsession :D I love writing it again. Vocare Prabia will continue to be updated but as an additional heads up, know that I am now in my final semester of college and getting all of my stuff done and preparing for graduation in December will be taking priority over every thing else! I wish it wasn't this way but unfortunately, that is the way things are right now.

Bio: I am now a 20 year old senior in college, but I started out as an 11 year old writing and reading fanfiction. In my time away from fanfiction, I have gone through two horrible bouts of severe writer's block as well as creativity gaps. This year, I have completed my very first novel and I thought, what better way to celebrate than to finish all of my old fanfics? I must be a masocist... I only just realized how much work my old stories need.

I've posted a picture of my book cover as my avatar. I'm not sure if it looks exactly as it should - to get a good picture of it, check out my website at http://www.SkullJuggler.com to see it.

Novels

Skull Juggler: Disenchanted by Natalia Locatelli (that would be me) is a fantasy novel for young adults. It is the story of Christopher Roc and his journey to finding out the truth about his father's murder and his own death. For more on this, please visit my website to read the first chapter http://www.SkullJuggler.com. I currently have the full front and back cover and I am waiting for the final revisions to the internal formatting (I have seen the rough draft and there are only one or two minor things to change). I will then submit my work to my publisher and I shall have the book on Amazon.com very soon.

If you want to keep up with what I'm up to, you can check out my homepage at http://SkullJuggler.com for more information on my book and my blog as well. The first chapter is currently up there. Anyway with questions, please feel free to contact me.

On my FictionPress account, I have the first chapter of my book: Skull Juggler: Disenchanted: http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=1847682 enjoy!

As many of you have already started to realize, Vocare Prabia and my other works have sadly come to a grinding halt and have been left in this state for some years now. As some of you may have noticed, I have started updating in earnest. I will post the schedule for updates here so that everyone knows what's going on:

Updating Schedule

1) Vocare Prabia - this now updates every Friday (usually at midnight or a little after). EIGHT CHAPTERS LEFT!!

2) Vocare Prabia Short Stories - this is a collection of short stories or blurbs that take place in the Vocare Prabia storyline but are not important to the main plot. This will update randomly (i.e. when I have the time) and will be short. They will, however, give some insight into various parts of the story that have not and will not be further explored in the Vocare Prabia main story.

3) Lone Wolf - this is a Twilight short fic. It was meant to be one chapter but I started posting it in little bits. This should be completed within a week or two - it will not be long.

4) Lunar Expedition - This will update sporadically. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to keep up with all of my unfinished stories at this time. It has been thoroughly outlined though and will be updated in huge chapters (huge for me, anyway).

5) Labyrinth of the Heart - This has been continously delayed. Apologies to all but I simply don't have time to finish it until I have the time to really edit Twists and Turns and become better acquainted with my old story.
