For me, The Gems Within depicts my own personal highs and lows of being a teenager. Some of you may already know I started writing this book at fourteen as I say throughout my blog. It's not based on a teenager in anyway, neither does it depict moody teenagers moping about. It is an adult novel and should be read by adults. The Gems Within centres on four people; immortal people. They go by the names of Ash (Ashley), Gaia (Gail), Malaya & Monsoon. However; something all joins them, they are immortal. Ash is a Vampire, Gaia is a Fairy, Malaya makes people forget and Monsoon is an Angel. Something else unites these people, they all wear a similar necklace with different gemstones: amber, ruby, emerald and sapphire.This novel shows their daily lives, struggles and events that all unite them. It is not a children's novel, it's adult themes demonstrate real people with real struggles. The book intertwines events we can all relate to and some we cannot. However when it is read, I hope that it will touch the hearts of many and, will leave people contemplating their own lives. I hope that whatever you think of my novel that it will be something that will be sitting on your book shelves five-ten years down the line. (That is if it finds a good home- publisher!) Love, TSITR
