Computer problems

Last night, after writing like crazy for a project that's due in a couple of days, I decided to take a little break. I closed all my windows and watched a movie. After the movie ended I was thinking I still had a little time to write a few more pages. Imagine my surprise when, after opening my computer I discovered my programs had vanished.
Thinking it was probably a virus I looked for my antivirus... only to discover it half-eaten by the damn thing!
Thankfully, none of the things I wrote was lost and most of the files on my hard-drive were safely forgotten by the program-eating virus.
My problem today is a little worse though... Apparently, even after scanning my computer with my new antivirus it wasn't able to find anything. So I uninstalled it and tried with another. Same result.
Conclusion? I think my computer is possessed. I'm going to call a priest very soon...

Doodles and WIP

~ WIP - Girl and Snake ~
~WIP - Tamed Dragon~
~WIP - Dreams~
   I'm not decided yet if I should call the last one Dreams or Lost in the Dream World. Eh... I'll figure out which one sounds better by the time I finish them. I appreciate any feedback.

Transition

  ~Transition~
   Felt like sharing this one. I like how it turned out.
  
   Also, I had my birthday this Tuesday... Felt like crap the entire time. I still do. I just hope whatever I have that makes me feel like this, is going to magically disappear by the end of the week.
   Anyone know any magical cures?

Meridian

My name is Meridian Sozu. I am a Fenestra. I have always shared my world with the dead and the dying. But I really didn't understand what that meant until I turned sixteen and glimpsed my own mortality. . .

Sixteen-year-old Meridian has always been surrounded by death. As a child, insects, mice, and salamanders burrowed into her bedclothes to die. As she grew, the animals got bigger, and soon they were finding her at school to die in her presence. Meridian became an outcast, labeled by her classmates as Reaper, Gravedigger, and Witch. Each death she witnesses weakens her body, and loneliness weakens her spirit.  
On her sixteenth birthday, she witnesses a deadly car crash. Though she’s untouched, Meridian's body explodes with the victims’ pain.

Before she can fully recover, Meridian is told that she's a danger to her family and rushed to her great-aunt's house in Revelation, Colorado. It's there that she learns the secret her mother has been hiding her entire life: that she is a Fenestra, the half-angel, half-human link between the living and the dead. It's crucial that she learn how to transition human souls to the afterlife and preserve the balance between good and evil on earth. But Meridian and her sworn protector and love, Tens, face great danger from the Aternocti, a band of dark forces who capture vulnerable souls on the brink of death and cause chaos. Dark, lovely, and lushly romantic, MERIDIAN introduces a powerful heroine who will entrance readers.

     This was a lovely book, a little dark, fun and beautifully written. I couldn't put it down before finishing it (then again, I do that with most books).

I forgot to put a link to the book for the other one (the Madison Avery book), so I'll repost that one with a link.

This is a link to this book that I found on the internet:  


This blog will not host anything but I will provide readers with links to books. I recommend you buy the book in order to support the author.
