You've been struck by a smooth criminal...

Blackmore’s new novel “Charter to Redemption” is based in 1821. In this book the main character Emma Colchester is going to Newcastle to marry a man she’s never met before. This was back in a time when marriage was more about class and less about love.

Emma ends up meeting Tobias Freeman. Tobias has no freedom, but by finding each other they find redemption each in their own way.

Even though “Charter to Redemption” is a work of fiction, there are quite a few true historical references. Having these in works of fictions such as this can get readers interested in history, which is good because you're never too old or too young to learn something new. It’s important to read books that have some truth or historical significance in some way. If more people read books (even fiction) about the past they might be more inclined to read up on actual history. And we all know how great it is to live in a world with knowledgeable people (mostly because stupid people suck). Reading in itself is a great way to find new things to love about the world.

From what I’ve read about the book so far, it's something I'm definitely looking forward to. As you can tell a key theme in “Charter to Redemption"is, of course “redemption”. This speaks to me personally, because I appreciate redemption. I believe in second chances, forgiveness and mercy and saving someone from a mistake they made. Just because someone makes bad choices doesn’t mean they are a bad person. And just because others say they are a bad person, doesn’t make them bad.
However, once someone starts believing they are bad, it’s hard to convince them otherwise. They can be a good person, but if they continue to view themselves as a bad person, or a villain, or a criminal, that’s all they will ever aspire to be.

"Charter to Redemption” is D.J. Blackmore’s first published work and I look forward to reading more about them in the future

Blurb for the Book Tour

J.Kahele was quoted in an interview with "elitebookpromotions.com" that new writers should "Write with honesty. Don't write to please others."
I might be paraphrasing a bit, but I believe these words are true. In fact, most authors will give similar advice, and it's very wise. Because if I aimed to please everyone, I would end up pleasing no one in the long run. If you write with passion, and you write what you like, others will like it too. Not everyone mind you, but hey! That's life.

That's why I love writing Fan Fiction. It's taking some else's world and adding your own flavour to it. Making it a new world in itself. It's not the best if you're trying to write a novel, but it's a start.

I mostly use writing Fan Fiction as a way to get the creative juices flowing. I'll write a few pages of Fan Fiction, and realize that the characteristics of one character that I'm writing would work great in a new story. A story I can make up all myself. No one else's ideas. After spending a few hours each night typing out a story about classic characters from books I've read a million times over, I start to piece together new ideas for new stories.

One day I'll be writing "Harry Potter Fan Fiction" and the next day I'll have half of an original story made up. A short story, but everybody's got to start somewhere.

I'm not saying writing Fan Fiction will one day make me into a great author, I'm also not saying it won't. I've been writing Fan Fiction sense I could write. I loved writing myself into my favourite TV show when I was a kid, or coming up with alternate endings to movies I would watch. Creativity is in everything.

"[the most rewarding thing about writing is] Being able to share your words and thoughts and [have] other's appreciate them." - J. Kahele

Personally, I don't care if others appreciate my work. As long as I'm proud of it, I don't care what others think. That's probably why I write Fan Fiction more than anything else.
