 ~ Missing Royal ~ YA Fantasy ~ Coming March 2014! ~



One princess destroyed the world. One princess must save it. 

When she was little she wished to be a princess. Now as a teenager she just wishes she fit in. But Shanice doesn't feel like she belongs, she never has.

When her parents tell her she is the last known princess from another world, it all makes sense. A world full of magic in place of technology. One where she is more than just royalty, she is their last chance to stop the one who is bent on destroying it. Mendina. 

But she can't do it alone, first she must find the other missing royals. In her quest, Shanice will be forced to choose between the course prophecy set for her, and the one that leads to the man her heart belongs to.


Alright, be honest! What do you think?? 

*First TEN people to e-mail me with their address will get a Missing Royal bookmark!*

Author Interview & Book Highlight ~ When Stars Die by Amber Skye Forbes


Amelia Gareth's brother is a witch and the only way to save her family from the taint in his blood is to become a professed nun at Cathedral Reims in the snowy city of Malva. However, in order to become professed, she must endure trials that all nuns must face.
           
Surviving these trials is not easy, especially for Amelia, who is being stalked by shadowy beings only she can see. They're searching for people they can physically touch, because only those they can touch can see them. Amelia soon learns why she is being stalked when she accidentally harms her best friend with fire during the third trial. Fire is a witch's signature. The shadows are after witches.
           
Now Amelia must decide what to do: should she continue on her path to profession knowing there is no redemption, or should she give up on her dream and turn away from Cathedral Reims in order to stop the shadows who plan to destroy everything she loves?

Amber Skye Forbes is a dancing writer who prefers pointe shoes over street shoes, leotards over skirts, and ballet buns over hairstyles. She loves striped tights and bows and will edit your face with a Sharpie if she doesn't like your attitude. She lives in Augusta, Georgia where she writes dark fiction that will one day put her in a psychiatric ward...again. But she doesn't care because her cat is a super hero who will break her out.  


~ Author Interview ~ 

Konstanz: How did you get started in writing? 

AmberI've answered this question a lot, so I'm going to mix it up and say something different instead of the usual "second grade journal class, required to write thirty minutes every day, suddenly started writing stories." I suppose writing is a thing you're born wanting to do--at least, it feels that way for me, because I fell in love with writing before I fell in love with reading. I had a hard time getting into reading because the only books we could read in our elementary school library were books that were grade appropriate, and they were neither challenging nor interesting to me. Sure, I loved the Magic Treehouse Series, but that was about it. Harry Potter fueled my reading desires, and it only took off from there. 

In any case, having the fervent need to write stories fueled my passion for writing. I knew as young as eight that I wanted to be an author, but I thought I had to go to college and get a degree to be such, and, obviously, I know better. There was even a time where I considered not going to college because I didn't need a degree to be an author, but then a small part of me, even at a young age, also knew that having a book published couldn't be easy, so, of course, I then changed my mind about going to college. Perhaps my parents told me many authors couldn't make a living off it, or I just used common sense to say that finishing a manuscript and sending it off for publication couldn't possibly mean automatic publication, but I was determined to develop my skills, because even at a young age I knew I was not ready to submit--and I wasn't ready to submit for a while, even though I started the sequel to When Stars Die at fourteen, which was a monster initially. 

So, in short, I have to write. I just have to.

Konstanz: Do any of your characters have any of your hobbies? If so, which ones?

AmberWell, the characters in When Stars Die don't share any of my hobbies at all. In fact, Amelia doesn't have any hobbies. She's in a convent striving to be a nun, so she has no time for hobbies--unless you consider her love interest, Oliver Cromwell, a hobby, but that's a complex relationship to get into, and, anyway, spoilers could be revealed. Now in the sequel, the Stars Are Infinite, Alice Sheraton, the new protagonist, once used to paint, so I do share that hobby with her. From time-to-time, I do like to throw paint on canvas paper for the sheer joy of it. I'm more into abstract stuff, but, occasionally, I try to make something that isn't abstract. 

Also, in a book I hope to get back to in December, When Heaven Was Blue, Gene, the protagonist, loves to paint as well--and read--so he and I share those hobbies. 

Tyler, in my short story "I Am the Bell Jar," in the AEC Stellar 2013 Anthology loves to read, so I, of course, share that hobby with him, too. 

Konstanz: Is your cat (you know, the superhero cat) in one of your books? 

AmberMy cat is not in any of my books at all, although I will mention that in The Stars Are Infinite, Alice originally had a pet mouse named Tripp that turned into this super-awesome magical being at the end of the book--I told you that TSAI was a mess originally. 

Konstanz: What was the inspiration for When Stars Die? 

Amber I'm asked this question a lot, too, so I'll just sum it up: my need to write witches. Otherwise, I like to explain what sets my book apart from other books in the paranormal romance genre. 

I would argue that When Stars Die is among one of the darkest paranormal romance books out there. Some reviewers have said it is far more paranormal than romance, but because the romance is integral to the dark plot, it still has to be labelled as a paranormal romance; thus, it isn't your typical paranormal romance at all. Far from it. Chapter two immediately points to the darkness that you're going to run into throughout the book.

Also, my witches are not your typical witches. They are hated in Amelia's world. They don't have special magical spells or mix potions or anything or ride on broomsticks, or what have you. Their only power is fire, and that is to mark them as a witch. Also, when they die, they turn into these beings called Shadowmen who serve Deus for all eternity, unless they themselves are killed by the powers of one another, or by the fire of a witch. 

As a nod to The Stars Are Infinite, readers are eventually going to find out that there is a lot more to being a witch than simply being a hated icon. In When Stars Die, people are taught to hate witches through The Vulgate, and Deus is viewed as a vengeful god, who uses this hatred to make people unknowingly miserable. However, in TSAI, there is a huge twist to why witches really exist, and so I can't wait for readers to get through When Stars Die, and then to ultimately read TSAI. 

Also, as another nod to TSAI, I didn't think TSAI was going to be as dark as WSD, but by the time you get to the middle of the book, it becomes even darker than When Stars Die, and I didn't think that was possible. 

Konstanz: And with the holiday so near I just have to ask, what is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition? 

AmberMy favorite Thanksgiving tradition is simply eating turkey with my family. I mean, who doesn't love turkey? Also, we sometimes have other family members come over, which is cool with me, but we don't exactly do anything special on this day. I primarily look forward to the food.

I got my one and only rejection - It didn't hurt like I thought it would.

Keep Calm and WRITE MISSING ROYAL Poster



If you've been here since day one, you probably know about the book that took seven years to write. If not, here is the rundown:

Missing Royal (originally titled Seven Oaths) took seven years to write (no, how long it took to write has nothing to do with the original title) and in all those years I kept writing and re-writing and editing and re-writing. 

And finally in 2012 I participated in NaNoWriMo which ended up turning into a race and I completed the "final" draft. Upon writing that draft, I edited, revised, had beta readers look it over and in February of 2013 I sent the book to a publisher. 

I was thrilled, ecstatic, and a little sad. I knew the answer before I hit send on that e-mail. Not because I don't believe in myself (okay, sometimes that is an issue - but not in this case). Nope, I knew because I knew the book wasn't ready. Wait! I knew the book wasn't ready and I sent it anyway? 

Yep! You read that right! I knew that if I didn't let go of that book, if I didn't send it off I would NEVER stop re-writing it! I knew I would never let it go, I would never move on. Because I would edit and write and re-write the same book over and over and over for another seven years! And maybe more after that! 

And the problem is other books are calling to me! How could I continue throwing away YEARS on one book that may never see the light of day? Well, I couldn't! So I submitted, and I set it aside. 

Now, upon getting the actual rejection letter (September 18th 2013) I did cringe, and I was a little sad. But I also was very grateful! Because guess what! At that point I already had a cover for the book! Not to mention I'm working on THE FINAL (hahah, right!) draft right now! 

Oh, did I mention that one of the coolest editors, authors, and people in the world gave me a ton of hints and tips as to why the book was rejected? Yep! They did! On top of that, it went from being a stand alone to the start of a SEVEN book series! (Yep, 7 - and 27-  is my lucky number(s)!) So truly, getting rejected was a blessing in disguise! And who knows, maybe one day Missing Royal will be a best seller! *Wishful thinking here* 


And now, because it sounds fun and I've been hiding this gorgeous cover FOR MONTHS, I think it's time I finally do a cover reveal. So when this blog post gets 100 comments, I will do the cover reveal, announce the release date, AND share a teaser PLUS do a giveaway!

 on this post will get to beta read the book!*

Blog Tour: Frogs & Toads by Stacy Lynn Carroll ~ A Book Review


One kiss can change the future...for better or for worse.
Belle and her cousins have conquered their fears. Now as they navigate their way through the dating world, they start to see a "happily ever after" on the horizon. But when an unexpected school assignment forces them to examine their past, the Princess sisters realize they have a lot of questions about the fathers they've never met. Secrets are revealed, long lost family members are discovered, and now the girls must decide who belongs in their future and who should be kept in the past.

 ~ Goodreads ~ Amazon


My Review: 

Step aside Disney Princesses, hello Princess cousins! What an incredible, emotional book! A fresh take on the famous fairy tales for sure! Stacy has a way with words that keeps you reading until you find the book is over, and then you still want more! 

I love that each of the cousins have their own personalities, their own issues, their own failures, their own wins! They are there for each other and have so much in common but they are all so different! 

Each of their stories has been so beautifully woven which totally blew me away but was a wonderful bonus to this amazing book! A great book, a great sequel! Clean, funny, with some amazing messages! 




Stacy Lynn Carroll has always loved telling stories. She started out at Utah State University where she pursued a degree in English, learned how to western swing, and watched as many of her fellow students became ‘True Aggies’. She then finished her BA at the University of Utah where she got an emphasis in creative writing. After college she worked as an administrative assistant, where she continued to write stories for the amusement of her co-workers. When her first daughter was born, and with the encouragement of a fortune cookie, she quit her job and became a full-time mommy and writer. She and her husband have three children, two Corgis, and a fish named Don.

Book Blast: Tied by Laney McMann + Giveaway!




Tied cover


Tied by Laney McMann Normal people don't believe their nightmares stalk them. They don’t fall in love with boys who don’t exist, either. Seventeen-year-old Layla Labelle, though, is far from normal. Her delusions walk the earth. Her hallucinations hunt her, and her skin heats to a burn every time her anger flares. Or is that all in her head? Layla doesn't know what to believe any more because if none of that’s true, Max MacLarnon must be an illusion, and her heart must still be broken. No matter how much she wants to believe Max is real, doing so would mean everything else is, too. How, then, is that possible? The answers lie in an age-old legend the supernatural aren’t prepared to reveal, and with a curse that could tear Layla and Max apart forever—if it doesn’t kill them both first. In TIED, book one in the Fire Born trilogy, learning the truth will mean fighting an arsenal of demons, and being with Max will put Layla on a path toward her own destruction. Just how far will Layla go to protect the one she loves? The answer may never be far enough ... away.
amazon blog Barnes and Noble Kobo
Excerpt: My window opened easily. The same way it had so many times before. Climbing out on the ledge, I found the ground empty and dropped from the second floor—a jump I'd made a hundred times. In another life. My feet sunk into the sand, and I followed the well-worn pathway through the dunes. Even the strong evening winds hadn’t misshaped the deep gully. The ocean's breeze lashed at my hair as the moonlight glinted off the water’s surface. Seagulls flew up from their nesting grounds. They should have recognized me, since I’d been wandering at night for so long. Wrapping my arms around my knees to block the slight chill, I settled in the sand, and the birds quieted in a tight huddle, the wind blowing their feathers in awkward angles. My gaze fell on a figure standing beyond the dunes edge, a shadow hidden within the darkness. My pulse quickened, but I didn't move. Another trick—an illusion. Weary of the games my mind continued to play, I bit back tears and the catch in my throat. I should have been immune to them—the hallucinations—the way they haunted me and followed me, but I wasn’t. Forcing myself to blink, I turned my head away. The visions had grown worse as I’d become older. I’d tried to convince myself they were nightmares—or weird dreams. Hoped for years they were, but only people who sleep dream. Unable, or unwilling to stop myself, I glanced back over my shoulder, thoughts flooding my brain. Memories I knew couldn’t be memories but I cherished all the same. For years I’d tried to shake them away. To make myself forget. I couldn’t.#**#**# A stone raps against my bedroom window. I creep over and peer through the blinds. "You’re late." I lean out over the sill, grinning at the boy staring up at me. "Come on, let’s go before she comes," he says. I climb onto the window ledge. "Be nice. She’s my friend." "Okay. Jump." He waves at me to go faster. "Move, and I will." He takes one casual step to the side.The jump isn’t too high; I make it all the time. He grabs my hand when I land beside him in the soft sand. "Ready?" I nod. "One, two …" "I’m going to tell!" Benny runs across my yard toward me, her blonde pigtails flapping in the wind. "You’re not allowed to talk to that boy, Layla! Your mom said!" Max tightens his grip on my hand. "Shut up, Benny! I'm old enough." "You’re only nine. Don't go! " "Three!" Max and I leave the ground. “You're going to get in so much trouble.” Benny’s yell rings in the distance. Our feet touch down in the wet grass of the Otherworld, icy sea air whipping at my face. "Hopefully, she won’t follow us again." Max lets go of my hand. "She won’t. I told her not to." I lead the way down the cliff face to the ocean. "She never listens to you."   Book Trailer     Praise for Tied: “The author has taken a unique concept and created a brilliantly written story. One of my new favorite fantasy books.” — The Reading Diaries “I was so engrossed in this story that real life went on without me being aware of it.” — Crazy Four Books “In the midst of games between parallel worlds, past and present, interrupted by visions and ancient prophecies, you are caught up in the story’s threads.” — Mythical Books “There's so much amazing creativity that has gone into the Fire Born world; McMann combines and twist legends and the paranormal to come up with the perfect urban fantasy setting. ” — Known to Read   Laney McMannAuthor Laney McMann With a passion for the supernatural and all things magical, Laney developed a voracious appetite for reading fantasy at a young age. A vivid imagination helped set the stage for creating her own worlds and placed her onto the writing path. By the time she reached her teens, she'd accumulated notebooks full of poems, which led to short stories and finally novels. Young adult dark fantasy, paranormal romance, and mythology are among her favorite genres. A former classical dancer and chef, she grew up in sultry Florida where she still resides with her family.
