<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">Allison McKreasy is a succubus. So is her twin sister. But while Allison spends her summer break hiding in the library behind her goth makeup, Jade fools around as often as she can. Allison can';t believe Jade would ignore their mothers fatal example so recklessly, but concealing a cursed bloodline and its dangerous effects is far from Allison's only problem. Man girl Julie's snob mob is determined to ruin her summer, and Aunt Sarah's Bible thumping is getting louder. Only her new friend, Ren Fisher, offers safe haven from the chaos of her life.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"> When on of Jade's risky dates leads to humiliation and sudden tragedy, Allison reels, and Ren catches her, but But as her feelings for him grow, so does her fear that she'll hurt him - or worse- in an unguarded moment. The choice is coming - love him or save him - but Allison might not live to make it. One way or another, the curse will have its due.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> To start off, I want to thank Allison V. Cook for sending me a digital copy of the book to review! From the beginning of this book, when I first started to read it, I instantly fell in love with it. I loved the new concept of a Succubus. There are so many YA books around now days that focus on things like vampires or zombies, so I loved the new take on a supernatural main character. I really loved the writing style especially. Angela V. Cook really out did herself with the incredible writing in the story. No only was the writing amazing, but the characters were so deep and raw with emotion. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I really loved Allison, she seemed to be the smarter of the twins when it came to things like who know how to keep themselves safe, being as they are both succubus's. She was so head strong and new what she needed to do. I liked that she made the choice to dress goth in order to keep other safe by keeping them away from her. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Her twin sister, Jade, I wasn't such a fan of. She seemed to completely disregard their family history and what Allison would say to her. However, she was a great character for the story. She really brought the other side of the story to light and created drama. I think what I am trying to say is, that I loved to hate her.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I really fell in love with this book and it's characters! This book had me like;</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> First of all, I would like to send a huge thank you to Joshua Blum, for sending me a copy of The Thirteenth Hour! I had such a great time reading it! To start off, I really loved the concept of a boy falling asleep in class, with the story all his dream. It is definitely a unique view and something that I would never have thought to write a story on myself. I really enjoyed the whole concept of the book and the writing style was very enjoyable! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Logan and Aurora were so much fun to read about! every twist and turn of the book was filled with humor and it was so much fun! I really enjoyed their quest especially. It involved many mythical creatures that made the story just that much more entertaining and fun to read! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I really loved this book partially because it reminded me of the story's that I would read as a little girl, yet this book is great for any age. It is a timeless coming of age story that I know had let me really look at my life and what I am heading towards in my future. The illustrations were so fun and added a great element to the story. My only real issue with the book was the time it took me to read it. I spent quite a long time on it, however, it was definitely worth the read and I loved the time I got to read it. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">I've always felt like an average girl...except for my strange relationship with death. You could say I like to court it. Whether I'm soaring through the air as a flyer for Specter University's cheer squad, or speeding down the steepest mountain with only grace and balance keeping me from an icy end, I've </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">always needed to feel a rush. But not Death is courting me- in more ways than one. First, there's Rishi, a rogue death deity who has a penchant for annoying me nearly to my grave and who's intense gaze has the power to see right through me. Then there's Hades, who I'd rather had just stayed a myth. Now that he knows I exist, he's not going to leave me alone until I meet the same end as my mother. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"> Oh yeah, did I forget to mention her? I spent my whole life thinking she had died when I was a baby, but now, I've found out she's much more than dead. Fifty years ago, Hades banished my mother form the underworld and took her away her ability to cross over souls- souls that have wandered lost through the world ever since. Now she wants me to clean up the mess. You may have heard of her before... They call her the Grim Reaper.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> To start out, I really loved the idea of this book, I hadn't read a book before that danced on the idea the the Grim Reaper could be a girl, much less have a daughter, which was really fun. I really liked how it was a new topic that at least I haven't seen much in any YA writing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Blake was a fun character to follow through the book, she was very emotional and charismatic. When we first meet her she seems to have it all together and have the perfect life, until everything gets turned upside down, pretty much instantly. After that I really loved to see how well she handled everything. I was almost as if overnight she seemed to transform from this scared little girl, into a mature woman who could handle the weight of the world on her shoulders. You could really see how she was influenced by her mother and how she learned from soul reaping. Though, she never seemed to completely emerge into the dark persona which surrounds the grim reaper. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Rishi, was probably one of the most annoying characters I have encountered in a LONG time. But in a good way. He really pushed Blake to look at herself in a new life that she might not have found on her own. But then again, most of the book he had me like this,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But in all seriousness, he was an important character who wasn't too bad. At times you could really feel the tension between Rishi and Blake over her mother, Grim. It was interesting to see it all go down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think overall, I really did like the book even if it had a few parts that were disturbing. It definitely does focus on some strong topics, which are hard for anyone to read about but I applaud K. M. Randall for handling it so well. Not only that, but I really enjoyed her ability to show character development and especially emotion where I expected no emotion to be found. I will tell you one thing though, this book it fabulous at making YOUR HEART HURT! I mean really! I tell you, don't get attached! </span><br />

I wrote and published my first book while working thirty hour weeks, finishing my senior year of school, and saying hi to my husband on a daily basis. I think if I could live through that I can pretty much do any hard thing.</span></span></div>

Most of them have read the books and picked up on the characters based on them. I was worried at first about how they would react, but everyone loves it so far. Now I have friends asking to be added into the next book. They think it’s pretty cool.</span></span></div>

She begs for rough drafts and always wants to know where the stories are going. My husband and dad and brothers have never read anything, but are supportive in their own ways. Most people that have known me for a long time are shocked that I’ve started writing then even more shocked after they read it and think it’s good. I don’t know how I should feel about them being surprised by that…</span></span></div>

Starting over at a new school seems easy with her cousin, Mckayla, and her two best friends at her side, but handling the new guys is another matter. Aubrey ends up in the middle of three rivals that each wanted her to themselves. Mike claims her first and declares himself her friend and protector. Mike is the school heartthrob that stops Aubrey in her tracks, speechless. Gage is the mysterious, dark outsider that Aubrey can be herself around.

<span style="background-color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;">Sisters Leo and Paris Hollings have only ever had each other to rely on. They can't trust their mother, who hops from city to city and from guy to guy, or their gambler stepfather, who's moved them all to Las Vegas. It's just the two of them; Paris, and Leo, who has a real future in mind-- going to Stanford, becoming a doctor, falling in love. But Leo isn't going anywhere right not, except driving around Vegas all night with her sister.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="background-color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"> Until Paris ditches Leo at the Heartbreak Hotel Diner, where moments before they had been talking with physics student Max Sullivan. Outside, Leo finds a cryptic note from Paris-- a clue. Is it some kind of game? Where is Paris, and why has she disappeared? When Leo reluctantly accepts Max's offer of help, the two find themselves following a string of clues through Vegas and beyond. But the search for the truth is not a straight line. And neither is the path to secrets Leo and Max hold inside.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> To start off, I was waiting for this book to come out for so long! When it finally came out I couldn't wait to snatch it up from my local library! It was all I had expected it to be and more! I absolutely fell in love with the setting of the book, (Vegas) and the rawness and vulnerability of the story. Its been quite a long time since I read a book that I was absolutely in love with and this was fora all intensive purposes, my 'book savior'!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> Leo was so head strong, I loved how she was able to deconstruct such an in-depth plot twist which had been left behind by her sister. She was such a fun personality to read about, she was a nerd in some ways but fascinating in others, as though her character had layers of emotions. Some of which she seemed to be discovering for the first time with the reader. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> Paris was such a drama queen! It was so funny to see such a preppy character so out of her element, and in a place like Vegas. She really knew how to bring the drama in the best ways when some what needed. All of the clues that she left for Max and Leo were so dramatic, though it was needed, given the ending of the book.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> Max was one of my least favorite characters, because of his attitude some of the time. At first when we meet him he seems like such a sweet geeky guy who you just can't help but fall for, which he is most of the time. But every once and a while I noticed that almost like a light switch he was someone else. He would become very quiet and secretive or angry and that sweetness seemed to melt away. I think over all he was a great character but I really didn't enjoy the severe mood swings that he would set off, almost like a time bomb.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> I loved the over all concept of the "fining Paris" road trip. It was so unexpected from reading the cover of the book, which was so cute! The ending had me almost in tears but at the same time I was extremely angry at one of the characters for doing such disgusting things, which you find out about at the end of the book. It was truly a fantastic read, which had me looking like this at the 'almost end' before it got better.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Brittany has always been an avid reader. When she was young, her parents' form of punishment was taking away her books and making her go play outside. She was born in and raised in Southern California, with some time in Arizona. She loves the beach, exercising, sleeping in, and cookies. She is a huge dog lover, although her affection currently has no outlet. Something she plans on changing soon. Brittany and her husband are currently attending college.</span></div>

This weeks post is our final post in Julia Keanini's featured month! I am so excited about today's post! For our final post, we will get an exclusive interview with one of Julia's Characters, so with our further adieu, Lets get started!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Why are we doing this again?” I groaned as Lia motioned for me to take the chair seated across from her.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Hey, you’re the one who wants to become the editor of the Woodlands Gazette. We both know this interview is the exact sort of thing Ms. Wright will eat up,” Lia said with a little too much glee. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looked like all those times I’d forced her to be on the other side of the journalistic pen was about to bite me in the bottom. And payback certainly looked like it was great, for her.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“So Sara Chandler, I’ll start with an easy one,” Lia started. “Why do you want to be the Woodlands Gazette’s editor?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was easy? “Um, I love the newspaper?” I answered.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lia narrowed her eyes at me before pushing, “And that’s what has motivated you to take on all the late hours, take crap from this year’s editor, Darla, and keep your mouth shut as you were assigned the worst stories only to make them shine?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“That’s not actually going to make it into the interview, right?” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“If you would have given me a better answer to the first question this would be a nonissue.” Lia smiled.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It scared me how much Lia was enjoying this. Maybe my ex-boyfriend wasn’t the only competition I had for the editor position. Except, as my best friend, Lia would NEVER do that.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Take it easy, Lia.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’m just channeling my inner Sara Chandler.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That made me grin. I was pretty intense when it came to getting my stories. “I want to be editor of the Woodlands High Gazette because I know this paper inside and out. I know what makes our student body pick up a paper and read it from beginning to end. I know what our student body needs to know and I will make sure they get it. Plus, editor will look great on my college transcript and get me tons of dates.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lia laughed as she erased the last few words I’d said. One of the perks of having my bff interview me, she got my jokes.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“What do you want to do after high school?” Lia asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Work for a top news network. I would love to be an anchor, but would probably be better behind the scenes.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“No way. The camera loves your face,” Lia said as she scribbled furiously. “But before that you’ll attend NYU with your best friend,” Lia continued before I could make a comment about my face not appreciating cameras.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“What’s it like to be the oldest of five kids?” Lia asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Loud.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">She laughed. She’d attended enough family functions to know that was the truth.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Now to the juicy stuff.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Lia,” I warned.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Just for fun, Sara. This will stay far away from Ms. Wright’s desk. Promise.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I nodded, but not until Lia had set down her pen.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Tall, short, or average guys?” she asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Tall.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Muscly or not?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Lean muscle.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Brunette or blonde?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Neither.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Eye color?” she asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Green,” I answered quickly.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lia shook her head as she folded the paper she’d written my interview on. “You do realize you just described Blake Brandon to a T?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-f85f68ee-775e-4c22-0422-cd1d72119808"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I bit my lip. Crap, she was right.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited about this week's post! I was able to interview Julia Keanini, and it was a blast! So with that, lets get started!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Question 1:</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e06666;">What was your inspiration to become an author?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18.666666666666664px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I think I always wanted to be an author, but I never actually told anyone. It kind of felt like the type of dream a little kid would have. Like my sister wanted to be a pop star and I wanted to be an author. I went to college and got a degree (which I’m glad I did), but the degree I chose wasn’t useful unless I went to more school. So at that point, I had to make a decision and I chose to write. Luckily my husband is a saint and the my biggest supporter and I guess the rest is history :)</span></div>

Growing up my dad used to tease me about being a quitter. I danced tap, ballet, jazz, hula, tahitian, hip hop. I played the piano, flute, guitar. I had a paper route, babysat, worked at a craft store, movie theater, food establishment. I played softball, basketball, tennis, swam, ran track. All for about a year each (with a few exceptions). I assumed that if I gave something a year, it was enough time to know if I would be great at it. Writing is the only thing that I have stuck it out with. And believe me it took sooo much longer than a year to be any good at it. I would say I wrote at least a million words of crap. But when I kept at it, I learned one of my greatest life lessons. I got better with work and time. Seriously not a lesson I should have learned as a twenty-something, but hey better late than never.</span></div>

to a household that used to be filled with love (it's now icy cold) and finding
her ten-year crush has found his way into the arm's of Lacey's sister, are the

<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">Book two in the Skinniness is Next to Goddessness? Series. Well-disciplined, well planned, and well executed. Follow these guidelines and, bam, you have the perfect life, at least that's what sixteen-year-old Anna Kaneshiro had always believed. She's followed this mantra in order to excel in school, recover form her eating disorder, and become the youngest quiz bowl captain in Woodlands High history. But after her cousin, Aya, runs out on her baby and the baby's father, 4.0 student and ever responsible Anna steps up in the way her cousin should have. Falling in love with the baby is excusable, but falling for the baby's almost-reformed bad-boy father teaches Anna all the discipline, planning, and execution in the world can't prepare you for one thing. Love.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">High School is a jock eat nerd world and seventeen-year-old Jamie Jenkins should know. She's lived life as the ignored little sister of the town football star, but when her family moved to Woodlands after her stint in an eating disorder program, it's time to reinvent herself. At Woodlands high Jamie Jenkins makes a name for herself as a cheerleader and best friend to Ms. Queen Bee, Jamie Murdock. There are a few downsides like putting up with Jamie's snide remarks about her weight, taking down the other students a peg or three, and being called the "Other Jamie" behind her back. But a pretty and popular existence is worth sucking it up or sometimes sucking it in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">Suddenly, Jamie loses everything she views as important and is forced to re-evaluate her life. Once a mean girl always a mean girl, right? it's up to Jamie to decide.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d5a6bd; font-size: large;">Tina Turner (not that Tina Turner) and her band, The Rockets, achieve the unbelievable when they are asked to compete on the same music reality show television show, The Next Great American Band, that launched the careers of bands like Everclear. Sure,they'd accomplished some small time success in their small town of Woodlands, but this could lead to a bona fide record deal and a place among the greatest constellation of all, Music Stars.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d5a6bd; font-size: large;">For Tina, this would prove to her mother, supermodel Cece Turner (yes, that Cece Turner), that music is a viable career option, not just a hobby that would need to be put on a back burner when it came time for college, and a way to keep her band of best friends together forever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d5a6bd; font-size: large;">But even a paparazzi veteran like Tina couldn't have foreseen the type of pressures the show would bring, even more groupies (how was that possible?), America's favorite female rocker turned judge out to criticize Tina's vocal flaws on national television and pick at Tina's physical flaws on national television and pick at Tina's physical flaws in private, and major family secrets unfolding, thus unraveling Tina on a way to observable stage.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Sara Chandler knows she should be happy with her life. Her best friend, Lia, would even describe it as 'perfect'. She has the perfect boyfriend, the perfect grades, the perfect family and almost secured her spot as the perfect editor of The Gazette, her school news paper. But Sarah feels something is missing and can't help think it might be in the form of a dark-eyed wrestler, Blake Brandon, the same something every girl at Woodlands High thinks is missing form their lives.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Sarah knows that her crush is just that, a crush. But when Sarah finds Blake literately at her feet, Sarah's 'perfect life' flies out the window.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Although Sarah's new life in what must be an alternate reality appears to be absolutely wonderful, Sarah is wary. And she has every right to be. Especially when she finds out what Blake has been hiding. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;">My disease is as rare is as it is famous. Basically I'm allergic to the world. I don't leave my house, I have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom, and my nurse, Carla. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;"> But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall,</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;"> lean and wearing all black-black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;"> Maybe we can't predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It's almost certainly going to be a disaster.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">To start off, I really want to acknowledge the cover of this book. I absolutely fell in love with it the second I saw it. Not to mention it has some really cool symbolism behind it. When you really look at the second 'Everything' you'll see that it is completely surrounded in what looks like germs, Hawaii, and everything Maddie won't experience. While the first one is not, showing Maddie's world versus the outside world, which she is hopelessly allergic to. Much like Maddie is in love with Olly, I am in love with this book! </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Maddie was such a driven girl who tried to get the most out of her life, even though she was sick and stuck in her house. I really admire her for that, because when you think about it, would you go crazy being unable to leave your house for seventeen years? I know I would! I loved that the book was told from her point of view and not someone else, because we are able to see her life and how her illness affects her personally, not just how others see it. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I don't think I have ever heard the name 'Olly' before in any book or real life, which was what really made him stand out ot me. Olly was such a sweet and kind soul despite the persona he lead on with all the black clothes. Even through his upbringing which Maddie observes from her bedroom window, he never seemed to reflect any of it. One thing I really enjoyed was how easily I could tell that he was madly in love with Maddie. And how he was willing to do anything to see her, even if it was from across the street. He had such a fun sense of humor, which I really wish there was more of, since it just really made Olly, well, Olly.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is probably one of the most quotable books I have ever read, seriously, I have several quotes up on my wall. (Here's to hoping they stay the same when the book comes out!) Toward the end of the book we really get to see relationships with Maddie and the people in her life change, and some are for the better, while some were for the worse. A lot of this was done through observation of the characters and not so much their worlds. I loved the funny and witty little sketches and Maddie's 'dictionary words' that were scattered through the chapters, it really made the story come alive, and it added an element to the book that you don't see much in YA fiction. I just couldn't get enough of the book! Even after the last page I was yearning for more, and I can't wait for more from Nicola Yoon! Everything, Everything wasn't just a book you read, it was an experience you feel and a love story that will stick with you long after the last page. Make sure to pick up your copy of the book as soon as it hits the shelves on September 1st. I know I will! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Julia is just a city girl living in a country world, (and secretly loving it.) She loves the mountains and would adore the beach if it weren't for all the sand and salt. (wait, that is the beach?) A good book, great song, or a huge piece of chocolate can lift her mood, but her true happiness is found in her little fam. She is married to the love of her life, and has one baby boy. She is the oldest of six girls and not to mention lived with twenty of them at one point. She writes about girls who deal with what life throws at them and always about love, cause she LOVES love.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;">College is not in the cards for Seth. He spends his minimum wage on groceries and fakes happiness to distract his mom from the MS they both know will kill her. It's agony to carry around a frayed love note for a girl who's both out of his league and beneath his dignity.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"> Quinn's finishing high school on top. But that cynical, liberal guy in her social studies class makers her doubt her old assumptions. Challenging the rules now, though, would a) squander her last summer at home, b) antagonize her conservative dad, and c) make her a hypocrite.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"> Seth and Quinn's passionate new romance takes them both by surprise. They keep it a secret: it's too early to make plans and too late not to care. But it's 1989. As politics suddenly get personal, they find themselves fighting bare-fisted for their beliefs-and each other in the clear light of day.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I first started to read '89 walls, I was really hoping that of all books, this would be the one to stand out among the rest, which I guess in a way it did. For the most part I really enjoyed the story line behind Seth and Quinn's relationship, but to me it seemed to get a bit distracted from that. Which enters the politics area, I was not at all a fan of all the politics though it did have a purpose given the year and the setting. It may have been necessary, but I really didn't care for it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Seth was a great character for most of the book, which I loved. He was so cute and sweet in his quite ways. Eventually as he and Quinn began to open up to each other more, he seemed to grow a bit whiny and began to lack perseverance and the will to do anything outside of what he knew best. But he and Quinn's relationship did seem to blossom through all this which might I add, was quite adorable.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Quinn was a very head strong girl, she knew what she wanted and when she wanted it. Though I did dislike most of the politics in the book, it was interesting to see her views verses Seth's. Both of which were biased based upon the environment they grew up in. At times I really wanted to scream at Quinn, because of her choices but all in all, that's what makes a great character, right?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When we are first introduced to Seth's mom, her MS (Multiple Sclerosis) had not taken over yet, which gave us a chance to see the real her before things got bad. As her MS started to grow, I found it harder and harder for me to read about it since someone very close to me has the disease. It was truly heart breaking and was executed and written flawlessly. As a small warning here, it was probably one of the most sexual books I have ever read. It was a bit too much for my taste and it was seriously awkward to read even by myself, but it didn't take away from the story. Over all I really did enjoy the book, and found it thoroughly entertaining. </span></div>

I have been super excited to do this guest post, you have no idea how high I am jumping in my seat right now! So I am going to dive right into today’s post!</span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> Samantha Kingston is the most popular girl in school and for Cupid Day, she and her friends expect it to be a big party: lots of flowers, candy and countless privileges for the popular girls. And the day is filled with all that is expected and more, until Samantha dies in a car accident late that night. Unexpectedly, she still wakes up the next morning on Cupid Day and gets the chance to relive her last day again. This happens six more times, each time Samantha alters one moment of the day, and finds that the day completely veers away from the first Cupid Day. On Samantha’s week long journey, she realizes she has the power to change her life for the better.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> I really enjoyed this book. Samantha was a real character: stuck up, superior, worthy of everything she wants, to good for everyone but her exclusive group of friends and her new crush. I don’t think anyone actually likes Samantha at the beginning of the book, but at the end she becomes more appreciative and grateful for her incredible life, which she realizes, isn’t the life she led. One of the things that made this book incredible was Samantha’s journey to recognizing and fixing all her mistakes. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

I have never read a book that even </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">reminds</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> me of this book. The entire story line is incredibly unique. Branching off of the originality, I loved to see what Samantha did time she relived Cupid Day. Every time she did something new. The first time she relived Cupid Day, she didn’t change much, but soon she realized she could change the course of the day, she started playing with her power, and it was very interesting seeing what the day turned out to be like.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This month has been crazy with news! I am so excited about it all and can't wait until next year, and I'm sure you all feel the same way! Lets get started.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u></u></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Book to Movie Adaptations </u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. First off the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi has been opted for a t.v. show! It was picked up by ABC Studios, though no official cast members or release date have been chosen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Secondly, the Mocking Jay part 2 trailer was released and you can check it out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmYNkasYthg">here</a>! I personally can't wait for the movie, are you excited? It comes to theaters on November 20 of this year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Next, tons of teaser images from the Mortal Instruments t.v. show, <u>Shadowhunters</u>, have been released on the cast members Instagrams! Be sure to check them out. The show will begin around the first of next year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Finally, there were roomers going around that the book, Looking for Alaska was going to be turned into a movie, but it was finally confirmed! John Green tweated out a while ago that it would be directed by Becca Thomas. He also said "It is really happening!" So hopefully it will be just as amazing as we hope.</span></div>

The seventeen-year-old protagonist, Scarlett – who is lost and grieving and coming to live in a strange village – needs a love interest, sure. But she needs a friend a whole lot more.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enter Cara Cavendish. Trendy. Confident. Vampire-fiction-obsessed. Entrepreneurial. Creative. Quirky. Blunt.</span></span></div>

She’s not ashamed of her scarred legs and her awkward, ungainly walk. She’s defined by a million other things that make her unforgettable. She’s not a disabled person; she’s just a person. And she’s a brilliant friend to Scarlett, not because she’s sweet and accommodating – because she’s anything but: she’s bolshie, she’s pushy, she’s challenging.</span></span></div>

Someone to inspire you, to tell it like it is, to make you laugh, to make you go get ’em. </span></span></div>

But Cara has such presence that she’s outlived The Ceruleans, which I’ve finished writing now. There I am, shopping or cooking or building a Lego tower with my kids, and she walks into my mind, pointing out that my outfit’s a disgrace to fashion or pondering the plot direction in </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Vampire Diaries</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></span></div>

But then, of course, I’ll need to write a friend for leading lady Cara. Because what love story’s complete without friendship?</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #b4a7d6; font-size: large;">Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty-two years ago America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon--and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she would put off mirage for as long as possible. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="background-color: #b4a7d6; font-size: large;"> But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection--no matter how fervently she protests. Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her... and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she always thought.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To start, let me say the Selection series is personally one of my favorite series of all time so I was extremely excited when I received The Heir in the mail. When I began reading I noticed a new character style that Kiera Cass had adopted with Eadlyn and her family. Not only this but it was fun to see all of the previous characters grown so up and matured. Especially Maxon and America! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When Eadlyn was first introduced, she seemed to carry the haughty princess-esk persona. But as the book continued, she began to show her headstrong personality that really made her, well her. I loved her interactions with her brothers and other 'house mates' as well. I could really see how much she loved her family, and valued them over everything. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved almost all of the selected in this book better than in the Selection, partly because being that they were boys they seemed to fawn over Eadlyn while making it cute and clumsy all at once! I won't go into detail about any specific suitor, but they all had quite their own personality! It seriously had me wishing I was Eadlyn, I mean, who wouldn't want to be her? Several of the boys had me all;</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I wasn't such a fan of the anti-character-development since several people sort of sat around and complained most of the book. Until the ending... Why would Cass do that to us?! I don't know what to think, was it a filler ending? Was it planed this way to make us have to read the last book? Or, does Cass just hate us? But who cares, when I'm pretty sure this is about all we will feel until the final book is released.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Over all I really liked the book, but the ending put me off a bit. I will definitely be reading the last book. Even if the feels drown me, lol. It was definitely one of those un-put-down-able books that are great for a single sitting and a good cry.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Luvlies! A while ago I had the privilege to interview Megan Tayte, and it was pretty fun!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b style="background-color: white;">Question 1:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b style="background-color: white;">What was your inspiration to become an author?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Other authors, fundamentally. I've loved books since I was very young – in fact, my clearest memories of early childhood aren't of my own life, but of story worlds. Then one day when I was staying with my grandparents, it occurred to me to ask how books got made, and my grandmother explained the process. That was my Eureka! moment: once I realized that such a thing as ‘author’ existed, I knew I wanted to be one when I grew up. My grandmother was my biggest supporter in that dream, and she was so thrilled the day she went into her local bookshop and bought my first book. She’d have loved to have read The Ceruleans, and would have recognized a lot of inspiration from the times we spent together. I dedicated the third book, Wild Blue Yonder, to her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 2:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>What is your biggest writing related ‘pet-peeve’?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That there aren't enough hours in the day to write! Ignoring for now the other demands on my time from my family and my business, when I carve out ‘Megan Tayte writing time’, I frequently find I don’t get any fiction writing done – I’m busy planning, marketing, publishing, designing. I’d love to have more time for pure writing; there are a lot of stories haunting me that I want to get down on paper. One day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b style="background-color: white;">Question 3:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b style="background-color: white;">Would you consider writing one of your biggest achievements? How so?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes. Because I wanted to do it so much for so long, and the journey to doing it was really tough, so it’s meaningful that I persevered and got there in the end. When I stand back and look at what I've done with my own writing, I’m happy that I’m setting a good example for my kids: showing them that it’s great to have a passion; that achieving a dream takes a heck of a lot of sacrifice and hard work; that you can be brave enough to create something and share that with the world. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 4:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Have you ever based your characters on someone you know/have met in the real world?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The only character in The Ceruleans who bears a resemblance to a real person is the heroine, Scarlett. Like her I was independent at a young age, have always been happy enough in her own company, am sensitive when it comes to emotions, and definitely am not at ease in a loud, crowded nightclub. But we differ widely too: for example, Scarlett overcomes her fear of the ocean to become a pretty kick-ass surfer. That’s not me at all: I’d remain as Scarlett is at the start of the book – bobbing about on the waves, clinging to a surfboard for dear life and in dire need of rescue. Ideally, by a very hot surfer, of course.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 5:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Do you have any funny, strange, or out</span><span style="color: #c27ba0;">right odd writing rituals? What are they?</span></b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because I write for a living, I've had to strip out ‘I can only write here...’ and ‘I can only write when...’ and ‘I can only write if...’. When deadlines are always looming, you just have to get on and write.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I do have one absolute essential for writing: ear plugs. I don’t need silence in order to write; I frequently write in cafes, and I love the buzz. But I need noise filtered into the background. When I really want to concentrate, I wear a double layer – foam earplugs with squishy silicon plugs over the top. I get some odd looks in cafes, but the writing flows beautifully so I don’t care. I just have to remember to remove the earplugs before going up to the counter to order another coffee, or the conversation ends up going something like:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Barista: Hmna ghrt albslo?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Me: Huh?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Barista: Hmna ghrt albslo?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Me: Can’t hear you – what did you… Oh, hang on. [Rummages in ears and pulls out plugs to the bewilderment/disgust of all around.]</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 6:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>How long have you been writing?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I knew how to hold a pencil and form a word! I have some very early attempts at stories in a keepsake box, in which I display vast enthusiasm for using lots of wonderful, interesting, amazing, brill, fabulous, awesome (etc. etc.) adjectives in my prose. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Somewhere in my teens, I lost confidence in my ability to write. I had two English teachers, one who told me I had talent, and one who couldn't stand me and knocked me down whenever she could. So doubt crept in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After university, I figured I must be able write fairly decently to have got a good degree, so I applied for jobs that required writing skills. A few years of writing for a living later, it finally registered that I could write. So I began writing not just for clients, but for myself. Minus the long strings of adjectives! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 7:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Where do you get your ideas for your books?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are so many sources of inspiration for me, from art, music, theater and literature to architecture and scenery. The story in The Ceruleans is quite personal to me, based on a mix of experience and fiction woven from my imaginings and ponderings. It’s based on my own efforts to make sense of a world in which people close to you can die; in which being true to yourself can be incredibly difficult; and in which love – for people, for places, for a way of being, for a passion and an ethos – is the only reason to hold on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 8:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>What do you like to do when you’re not writing?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I’m not writing for my day job or for myself, I’m usually with my kids. Lego, play-doh, blowing bubbles, coloring reading books, baking, feeding the ducks at the park – it’s not rock ’n’ roll, but I love it. Once the kids are in bed and I've finished writing, I usually get an hour or so to myself. I spend it in our ‘snug’, which has a seaside theme and lots of paintings of Devon and Cornwall seascapes on the wall by the artist Claire Henley (www.clairehenleyart.co.uk). I read novels – anything from crime fiction to romance – or watch TV: dramas series and comedies, mostly, plus property shows, as my husband and I renovate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b><u>Question 9:</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b><u>What was one of the biggest things you learned while writing your first novel?</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To trust the process. Whatever happens in the writing – when you’re planning, typing, daydreaming – it’s all taking you where you want to go. If you just relax and let the writing come, you’ll reach that ‘click point’ where everything makes sense. Just be prepared for that process to take a very, very long time and a lot of work!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Question 10:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>If you could go back and re-do any part of your books, would you?</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No. I’m a professional book editor, and I know that I could edit my books endlessly, picking away at them. But the more you do that, the more you lose the magic that happened when you wrote the first draft – you lose the joy of writing, and I think that carries through into the book. As Steve Jobs said, ‘Real artists ship.’ You have to ‘ship’ what you created – you have to let it go, so that you can write the next thing. Because the next thing will be better, and you’ll learn so much as you write it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All art is, by nature, imperfect, and when you know that, you don’t need to go backwards and re-do, only forwards and do.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u>Question 11:</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u>What do your family & friends think of your writing?</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My husband was the first person to read any of my fiction. I was quite nervous about showing it to him, because he’s a pull-no-punches Scotsman who says exactly what he thinks – and somewhere deep inside I’m still the girl he first met who wants him to ‘get’ me. He did; he loved that writing. Actually, I've teased him ever since because his first words after reading the novella – a humorous romance – were, ‘I’m surprised it’s that good...’ Since then he’s been my biggest champion, from sitting up late to help me brainstorm plot directions to working through countless iterations for the cover designs – which he creates.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My number-two fan is my six-year-old son. He talks about characters from my books as if they’re real, asking what Scarlett's been up to today and suggesting ideas (for him, I worked in a dinosaur mention in Book 3). And because he’s a budding artist, he often illustrates scenes for me. Here’s one:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As for the rest of my family and my friends, they’re supportive too, and proud that I’m working towards a dream I've talked endlessly about for twenty-odd years. From fellow mums in the playground to old school friends to former colleagues to family close and distant, I've been touched by the interest and the respect for my creative pursuit. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I haven’t encountered that problem with my own writing. If my pace is slowing, it’s a signal I’m tired, and after a good sleep the words flow again. If anything, I have the opposite problem – a constant desire to write! Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck wrote of: ‘the overpowering necessity to create, create, create – so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, [your] very breath is cut off...’ That’s exactly how I feel.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><u><b>Is there any news you can share about your next novel? </b></u></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next book in The Ceruleans series is called Devil and the Deep. I can’t share much without dropping spoilers, but it’s my usual mix of poignancy and an edge of humor. In this one Scarlett has a lot more control over her life, but that means struggling with difficult choices. And if I had to choose one word to sum up the book, it would be this: family.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’m editing Devil and the Deep and I hope to publish it this summer. Then I’ll be preparing the explosive finale to the series, Darkly, Deeply, Beautifully, to release by the end of the year. </span></div>
