Author of Young Adult Fiction
So, I know this book isn’t YA, but I LOVE Jocelyn’s writing and wanted to find out what she was like as a teen … before she started writing for … adults. Luckily for me, I get to find out! Nothing’s better than being on …
About the front: So the first time I saw this book’s cover, I kinda cringed. I actually didn’t buy it a few times because … well … yes. It just didn’t call to me. But then about a week ago, a friend said the book …
Thank you, up front, to “I Am A Reader, Not A Writer” and Rachael Renee Anderson for hosting this awesome Follower Love Giveaway Hop! This is my first blog hop on this blog. My alter-ego does them quite regularly, but since my book’s not yet …
The only trouble I had with nightingale was that it was too short. It took me, *maybe* an hour to read as was a nice filler, while, of all things, G-Force played on the t.v. for my kids. This is significant, IF you read the …
About the front: The first time I saw the cover for this book, I saw a different version and cringed. I actually asked a friend what in the world that was about until she said, ‘No! Look at the other one,’ and this is what …
What was it like to be a teenage Amaleen Ison? My other car was a ________________ I grew up in the Cotswolds (on top of a big hill), a mile and a half from the nearest bus stop (at the bottom of the big hill) …
About the front: Big Ben. A sword. The blue of night. I’m sure it’s the colors that draw me in to what, on the surface, looks like something in the fantasy realm. I’m not big on fantasy, but I have to say this cover totally …
About the front: This cover is beautiful. The blue is cold. Te red of her jacket is life. The reflection in the water would make you think she’s above it, but alas, she’s below it. It’s intriguing this way because it makes me wonder which …
I’m totally stealing the good news from the J. Taylor Publishing blog! Novelist, Emi Gayle, Set To Debut After Dark, the First of a Young Adult Trilogy, In October 2012 Yes! That’s ME!!! Author, Emi Gayle, just wants to be young again. She’s been able …
My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was really torn on how to rate this book. I was totally intrigued by the premise and the opening chapter or 2 (that I had in the sample). But then the first 10 ish chapters seemed to be …
About the front: What an awesome cover. The photographer in me immediately wants to know how the image was taken and it’s not magic. 🙂 Might be some special effects, but it actually looks like she’s underwater and the image is taken of her underwater …
About the front: On the cover it says, “A gorgeous, haunting saga.” I say that depicts this cover, too. I LOVE this cover. The teals and blues are my favorites. Not seeing the woman’s face or full body profile and the wisps of the flowing …
About the front: Red is such a powerful color. In business men it’s an indication of strength and confidence. Combine red with those words “Would you risk your life for love?” and we’ve got an even deeper desire to find out what’s inside. The girl …
About the front: Ooh! Mermaid? Girl diving in? Those colors are absolutely amazing! What’s up there? What’s down there? There are so many questions that really strike me. She’s young. Or really old if she’s a mermaid. Is she something else? What’s she swimming toward? …
You get 250 words from After Dark (the first 250 words) to guess the age of the main character, Mackenzie, better known as Mac. 🙂 Why? Because I’m participating in Brenda Drake’s Can We Guess Your Character’s Age? Blogfest Contest What do you get out …
About the front: Sci/Fi? At first glance, that’s what this book says. I love the yellows and blues and green. I love the huge ‘rock’ hovering over the city, the birds taking flight, the empty road. There are so many possibilities in this cover. It …
I’m very cheery this morning because November is over and I won! Go me! Go Team Me! 🙂 Every year, about this time, November to be exact, a flurry of writing begins and ends around the world. You see … November was National Novel Writing …
About the front: A drowning girl. Yup. That’s what I see. She’s falling and with the blue of the water, I can feel the cold. It almost hurts to watch as I can imagine she’s just falling and falling and falling and falling and … …
About the front: I don’t know what it was about this that caught my eye. Probably the blue and the high contrast with the white that resembles a tree. I really don’t know, but it’s eye catching that way. There is a simplicity and a …
