Hey! I’m Carlee Witt and I love writing! Ever since I was younger, I’ve had a passion to write. I always dreamed of writing a story and one day publishing my own novel. Right now, I’m in the process of publishing my very first! There is no feeling like completing and submitting a manuscript that you put so much work and thought and time into.

As an avid reader and aspiring author, I can usually be found reading a book in a corner somewhere, dreaming up ideas for another story, or ranting about The Hunger Games.

The Unknown

When you hear your name being called to the principal's office it doesn’t usually mean something good is about to happen. And for Sage Emerson, it really didn’t.

It meant her kidnapping.

Kidnapped by a government organization, thrown into military training, and shipped off to Russia. Sage navigates the sudden changes of her life alongside a few of her classmates, best friends, and brother. She makes new connections with people she never thought she would, falls in love with a boy she never thought she would, and does so many things she never thought she would. She faces many things- good and bad- and faces her fears. Especially her greatest fear.

Her fear of The Unknown.

Why I Write

Like I said earlier, writing has always been a passion of mine. My mom always said I had a real talent when it came to words. In my free time I would write poems and short stories simply because I got bored and a story came to my mind, already worked out and ready to be written on a piece of scrap paper. There’s just something about daydreaming a story, writing it down, editing it to make it better, and reading it to your family and hearing their encouraging remarks. My family has always been supportive of my dream and cheered me on no matter what. Thanks, fam! Y'all are the best!
