An Extended Chapter 10 of Mocked by Destiny Donated


An extended chapter 10 of Mocked by Destiny has been donated to Fandom4Texaswildfires. For more information on how to see the missing 18+ content visit: http://texasfires.ysar.info/

Why donate an extended chapter?

It's my way of giving to a cause that has affected so many people I know. One in perticular, Lisa, is a constant freind and supporter. I'd be lost without her and her passion. Her daughter Sophie almost lost the chance to go to a diabetic summer camp due to the wildfires. For them and others who have struggled through it, I do this.
This should be something all writers do. Even if most of the perticipants are writers of fan fiction, all authors need to take a lesson on on giving back to the people and fans who make them who they are.

Missing parts of Mocked by Destiny




So everyone knows the published Mocked by Destiny faded to black when the couple conceived since it was a Young adult genre. As part of a donation to raise money for LLS, I have donated the first missing scene. To help them in their efforts, donate at least $5 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at:

https://donate.lls.org/ECommerce/donate.action?amount=&fundraiserPageID=628084&participantFirstName=Fandom%20For&participantLastName=LLS&displayName=Fandom4LLS

forward your receipt to Fandom4LLS@gmail.com, and you will receive a compilation of stories and one shots from your favorite fic authors and some original authors. These written pieces will not be published anywhere else for a minimum of 2 months. But if you donate you will have a chance to read them before anyone else! Don't wait! Donate Today! Thank you for all of your help and support for LLS!

Mocked by Faith Summary








For Alexia Cross and Justin McNear, things are not what they seem. Both were born and raised in hidden, gated communities. A place where time virtually stands still and marriages are arranged by parents before a child’s 18th birthday.

Alexia is destined to be her community’s first spinster. In a last ditch effort, a husband is found. The only complication? He has no idea he has been betrothed. Will his history of dating outsiders help or hinder his relationship with his future wife?


Justin McNear searched outside his church for the woman of his dreams. Returning home after failing, he knows he needs to rectify his life and his faith. Can a woman he’s never met make him whole again?


Will this couple end up mocked by their own faith? Follow Alexia and Justin through the trials and tribulations of finding, falling, and surviving each other's love. It’s never easy saying “I do” to someone you don’t know.

Newspaper Interview 03/01/2011

Waltham woman makes literary debut with teen pregnancy novel.Zoom Photos. Purchase this photo Wicked Local staff photo by Lisa Cassidy.Michele Richard, author of "Mocked by Destiny", smiles at her daughter, Virginia, 9, in their Waltham home.

WALTHAM — Michele Richard said she was relaxing on Virginia Beach, watching her cousins and their babies playing in the sand, with Navy Seals training in the background, when it hit her: she was watching a story unfold before her eyes.



“I literally grabbed my notebook and started writing. It was the whole setting – it just kind of formed this little story,” said Richard, a Waltham resident.



“I wanted to address the issue of kids having kids. I found way too many kids having kids, and when I saw this little scene playing out, I decided to put it in fiction form so they can learn without the preaching,” she said.



When teens go through junior high school, “everything changes,” she said, and teenage pregnancy is too often glorified on television.



“TV makes a big drama out of it,” she said. “Young people don’t realize what’s involved with having a baby. How do you get them to look at things differently?”



“I want them to see, pregnancy is not all sunshine and bon-bons, it changes your entire life. I wanted them to think it’s not all about them lying on the couch getting fat and being happy. I basically told the truth in fiction form,” said Richard.



She started writing the story, “Mocked By Destiny,” in August, and three months later she finished a 350-page novel, she said.



Almost as quickly as inspiration struck, Richard secured a publishing deal with The Writers Coffee Shop, a small, Australia-based publishing house.



“Mocked By Destiny” was released online Feb. 24, and will be available in hardcover at Barnes & Noble and Borders in coming weeks, Richard said.



She had entered a writing competition held by the publisher, and, even though she did not win, Richard intrigued editors, who offered to publish “Mocked by Destiny,” she said.



“I was surprised when they instantly wanted it. I was writing for fun. I was surprised, because you hear all the stories that it takes forever to get published,” Richard said.



Writers Coffee Shop also asked her sign a deal with them for two more fiction novels – “Mocked By Faith,” a story about arranged marriages, and “Mocked by Fate,” a love story of a man and woman contending with the challenges of being from different socioeconomic backgrounds.



“Mocked By Faith” is slated for an August release, and “Mocked By Fate” is set to come out in February 2012.



Richard was able to complete all three books in the span of about a year, she said, because she simply loves writing.



“I write a lot. It’s one of my favorite things to do,” she gushed.



“I am crazily excited. It’s still so surreal, it’s nerve-wracking, but in a good way. It’s exhilarating,” said Richard, who works part-time as a recess monitor at Whittemore Elementary School, and co-leads the school’s Girl Scout Troop.



Richard’s 9-year-old daughter, Virginia, is a third-grader at Whittemore, and her 11-year-old daughter, Danielle, is a sixth-grader at McDevitt Middle School.



“They are very excited. It’s a very thrilling thing,” said Richard.



Richard will discuss her novel, answer questions and sign books at the Waltham Public Library on March 9 at 7:30 p.m.



For additional information or to order a copy of “Mocked by Destiny,” visit Richard’s website michele-richard.net, amazon.com or thewriterscoffeeshop.com/publishinghouse.
