This was such a great idea! I blog all the time. My name is Celise Colston (writing as Celise Downs) and I live in Phoenix. I'm the owner of <a href="http://www.GeminiMojoPress.com">Gemini Mojo Press</a> (soon to be changed to something else) and I write YA. My first two books, <em>Secrets and Kisses</em> (Mar 2004) and <em>Dance Jam Productions</em> (Sept 2004) are self-pubbed, however I've decided to go the traditonal route with my next project: a 6-book series about a 16 yr old girl who gets recruited by the FBI as an informant. I <em>just </em>finished the first draft of Book Two. I finished the first round of agent submissions a few months ago and it's been made perfectly clear that I need to revise Book One. I'll be doing that very soon and then I'll start the whole process again next year.<br /><br />Please feel free to visit my <a href="http://www.celisedowns.com">website</a> and that of my character from the series, <a href="http://1800snitch.wordpress.com">Draven Atreides</a>. </p>
