Golden Blood Blog Tour: Traveling

Gemma Hart never knows when her father is going to whisk her back in time. Her toes start tingling and she has a few minutes to find a secret haven where she can disintegrate and appear in another time and place. While “across the line,” her training and skills are put to the test as she completes a mission that will change history for the lucky few her father has selected.

Gemma's parents are adamant that secrecy is paramount to her family’s safety. If people knew what they were capable of, they could be "used and abused", as her mother always says. Afraid she might accidentally utter the truth and break the ancient oath of her people, Gemma spends her school days as a loner. Only one thing can throw her sheltered life askew... Harrison Granger.

Harrison never expected to talk to the strange Hart girl, but after a brief encounter he can't stop thinking about her. He begins a campaign to chisel away her icy veneer and is met with unexpected consequences. As he slowly wins this girl over, he enters a surreal world that has him fighting to keep his newfound love and his life.


Traveling

How has traveling the world inspired or influenced your writing/books?

I am a huge fan of travel. I think anyone who has the means, should totally do it. I lived abroad as a child. Jordan, Cyprus and Pakistan were our long-term stints, plus my family also visited a large chunk of Europe and the United States. As an adult my husband and I have extensively traveled around our homeland, New Zealand, and also headed over to North America for a nine-month road trip (I swear, the best year of my life).

Seeing places you've never seen before enriches your life. I have seen poverty that breaks the heart, sunsets that steal the air from your lungs and beauty that cannot be described in words. The people I have met along the way have been outstanding... so many different cultures - even within one country. All of the experiences have made my life better and my understanding of human nature that much stronger.


Travel has also enriched my writing. I have a very long database of story ideas, most of them could really be set anywhere in the world (as long as the essence of the place was captured sufficiently). I am a very character driven writer. Setting is important, but not vital. In saying that, when we were traveling around North America, I would sometimes arrive in a town or be walking though a national park and suddenly realize that this is where a particular story belonged. When we were hiking the trails around Zion National Park in Utah, a story I'd been playing with for years came to life with such clarity. I took pages of notes while we were camping there.


I've also had the other side of the coin where I've be standing somewhere so completely awesome that a story just popped into my head and came alive. Like the time I spent walking throughout the ruins of an ancient city in New Mexico or threaded my way through crowds of people on Santa Monica Pier.


Actually being in a place a story is set is a huge advantage. You get a vibe for the area. You can write with more confidence, knowing you're getting the culture of the town right and creating people that fit within that setting.

There are so many awesome places and towns in the world that deserve to be highlighted in books. I don't want to get stuck writing stories that are always set in the same country. Like I said before, some of my stories could be set anywhere and I think it's fun to play with the idea of putting the characters in a place that no one would expect. The right setting can make an ordinary story, unique and extraordinary.

I've been on this planet for 33 years now and I think I've visited over 25 countries. There is still so much of the earth to see and I am so looking forward to exploring it... and as I do, may many more stories be born.

Shut Out, by Kody Keplinger

Title: Shut Out
Author: Kody Keplinger
Publisher: Poppy
Release: September 5, 2011
Source: Teen Author Carnival
Buy: (RJ Julia | Poppy)
Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it's a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part,Lissa is sick of it. Her quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight with the soccer team or to prank their locker room. And on three separate occasions Randy's car has been egged while he and Lissa were inside, making out. She is done competing with a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend's attention. Then Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: She and the other players' girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The boys won't get any action from them until the football and soccer teams make peace. What they don't count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos first. But what Lissa never sees coming is her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys, Cash Sterling.

Kody Keplinger’s debut novel, The DUFF, completely won me over so I was of course very excited to read her newest book, Shut Out. My only regret now is that I didn’t read it sooner! Shut Out solidifies me as a huge fan of Keplinger, and I will definitely be reading all of her future work for the foreseeable future.

Shut Out is about more than just a sex strike at a school. It’s brings up tons of questions about love, family, and (because it’s a Kody Keplinger book) sex. It was fun and entertainng while at the same time being deep and emotional. The deeper side of things could have been a bit more focused on, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying Shut Out completely.

Kody Keplinger is a fantastic writer, and as I said I will be reading all of her books from now on. She’s young, so she is familiar with what she is writing, and it really shows. Her books are real and raw and she is not afraid to focus on topics—sex, specifically—that some may find taboo for young adult literature. I, for one, completely love it, though. Don’t stop doing what you’re doing, Kody!

Lissa was a strong character, and I really loved reading Shut Out through her eyes. At times, I thought she needed a bit more dimension, but for the most part she was a relatable character that I had very little problem with. The rest of the characters, no matter how small a part they had, were all so entertaining and had depth to them that made Shut Out that much more believeable.

Shut Out is a fun, entertaining read, but it is also emotional and deals with some very real issues. I strongly suggest Kody Keplinger’s work, and I can’t wait to read her next book. If The DUFF and Shut Out are any indication, her books will continue to get better.

The Calling, by Cate Tiernan

Title: The Calling (Sweep, #7)
Author: Cate Tiernan
Publisher: Puffin
Release: October 29, 2001 *
Source: Bought
Buy: (RJ Julia | Speak)
Morgan and Hunter travel to New York City, Morgan to seek out information about her birth parents and Hunter to continue his quest to end the deadly Woodbane conspiracy. In their search for answers, they find themselves in terrible danger.

Before reading The Calling, it had been awhile since I had read the previous Sweep book, so I was worried my interest would have waned. However, I didn’t have much of a problem getting back into the Sweep world, and ultimately found The Calling to be another fantastic addition to the series, one of the best ones yet.

The Calling takes place a little bit after Spellbound, and this time the gang is headed to New York City to spend a week in Bree’s father’s Manhattan apartment. They think they’re there for a week of touristy fun, but Morgan soon discovers that one of the most dangerous coven’s is in New York, and they’re looking for her. The Calling reminded me why I love this series, and I liked how they switched location, since Widow’s Vale was getting a little stale for me.

Cate Tiernan has a great writing style. Though her books may not be all action all the time, they are entertaining and addictive reads that almost anyone can enjoy. Each of the Sweep books are quick and all of them so far have been a delight. I am so eager to finish the Sweep series, and to discover some of Tiernan’s other work.

The characters in The Calling don’t go through too many major changes, but there are a few instances where they do shift a bit. There weren’t many new characters in The Calling, but those that were added definitely made it all the more interesting. I liked how we got to see the rockier side of Morgan and Hunter’s relationship in this book, and I am curious to see how their future will pan out.

The Calling is another great addition to the Sweep series. It’s different than the other books—in a good way—and kept my faith in this series strong. I don’t have much else to add besides, the Sweep series is great!

*I read The Calling in Sweep, Volume 3, an omnibus of the seventh, eighth, and ninth Sweep books, published on February 3, 2011 by Speak.

Don't Let Me Go, by J.H. Trumble

Title: Don't Let Me Go
Author: J.H. Trumble
Publisher: Kensington
Release: December 27, 2011
Source: Publisher
Buy: (RJ Julia | Kensington)
Some people spend their whole lives looking for the right partner. Nate Schaper found his in high school. In the eight months since their cautious flirting became a real, honest, tell-the-parents relationship, Nate and Adam have been inseparable. Even when local kids take their homophobia to brutal levels, Nate is undaunted. He and Adam are rock solid. Two parts of a whole. Yin and yang. But when Adam graduates and takes an Off-Broadway job in New York—at Nate’s insistence—that certainty begins to flicker. Nate starts a blog to vent his frustrations and becomes the center of a school controversy, drawing ire and support in equal amounts. But it is the attention of a new boy who is looking for more than guidance that forces him to confront who and what he really wants.

I was very eager to read Don’t Let Me Go since I first started hearing about it—because all I was hearing was how fantastic this book is. At the beginning of my reading it, I wasn’t so sure I was going to love it as much as everyone else was seeming to, but once I got going, I learned that everyone was right. Don’t Let Me Go is a truly outstanding book.

Essentially, Don’t Let Me Go is about relationships and how they can go through the good and the bad. I loved that Nate and Adam’s relationship was so messed up. It wasn’t perfect or completely happy, and it was so refreshing to read about a real relationship since so much of young adult is littered with fairytale romances.

I applaud J.H. Trumble for not holding back. Her writing is raw and emotional and real, and you can tell she really cares about what she is writing. Every word is filled with passion, and it shows in Don’t Let Me Go. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, but it’s going to be pretty hard for anything else she writes to surpass Don’t Let Me Go. But I’m sure she can do it. No pressure, girl!

Even if I didn’t agree with the characters all of the time, I liked reading about them. Each and every one felt like a real person. Even the characters that aren’t in the spotlight were very dimensional and realistic. They made me laugh, cry (yes, I cried), scream and shout (okay, not those last two, but you get what I’m saying); the characters are what really makes Don’t Let Me Go a standout piece of work.

I don’t know what else I can say besides, read. this. book. Please do it, because even if you don’t think this is something you’d enjoy, I know you will. Unless someone is completely narrow-minded, I don’t see any reason somebody would not enjoy Don’t Let Me Go after they read it.

Fireseed One, by Catherine Stine

Title: Fireseed One (Fireseed, #1)
Author: Catherine Stine
Publisher: Konjur Road
Release: December 2, 2011
Source: Author
Buy: (RJ Julia)
What if only your worst enemy could help you save the world? Fireseed One, a YA futuristic thriller, is set on earth in 2089 where people ride tricked-out amphibious vehicles over toxic waters, dance in ice-themed clubs and eat fish that grow up on vines in floating warehouses. Varik Teitur inherits a vast sea farm after the mysterious drowning of his marine biologist father. When Marisa Baron, a beautiful and shrewd terrorist, who knows way, way too much about Varik's father's work, tries to steal seed disks from the world's food bank, Varik is forced to put his dreams of becoming a doctor on hold and venture with her, into a hot zone teeming with treacherous nomads and a Fireseed cult who worships his dead father, in order to search for a magical hybrid plant that may not even exist. 

I’m not a fan of science fiction. However, that didn’t stop me from enjoying Fireseed One immensely. Because even though it is sci-fi—heavily so—it was an action-packed, emotional thrill ride that made me forget about the genre, and instead focus on the characters and their journey.

Fireseed One is based in a highly imaginative futuristic world where land is a desert wasteland, and people have chosen to build their lives on and around the water to survive. Everything is barren and dry, and there is little hope. However, Varik, the protagonist of Fireseed One, just may hold the key to survival of the human race.

Catherine Stine’s writing was able to hook me at the beginning of Fireseed One and kept my attention throughout the novel. There really wasn’t a dull moment in this book, and when I wasn’t reading it, I wanted to be. There are twists and turns around every corner, and Stine really throws some surprises in there!

Varik was a strong, relatable protagonist. He was the perfect troubled hero, really. He had a big weight on his shoulders, and through it all I didn’t get bothered with him very much at all. Marisa is probably my favorite character in Fireseed One. You never really know where she truly stands, and she definitely keeps you guessing. In the end, I enjoyed reading about most of the characters in Fireseed One.

Even if you’re not a sci-fi fan, I think a lot of people would find pleasure in Fireseed One. I was not expecting to like it at all when I first read it, and ended up wanting more when I finished. You might be taking a chance on this one, but trust me, it’s worth it.

Second Skin Blog Tour: The Nightmare

Synopsis for Under My Skin, the first book in the Skinned series...

All her parents wanted was for Eryn to live a normal life…

Redgrave, Alberta had its share of monsters before Eryn moved to town. Mauled pets, missing children. The Delacroix family is taking the blame, but Eryn knows the truth. Something stalks the night. Wade, the police chief’s son and Redgrave High’s resident hottie, warns her the Delacroix are dangerous. But then so is Eryn–in fact, she’s lethal. But she can’t help falling for one of the Delacroix boys, dark, brooding–human Alec. And then her world falls apart.

A normal life? Now that’s the real fairytale.

____________________________


The Nightmare

In Second Skin, my main character, Eryn, her monster-hunting crew, and her entire creepy town, Redgrave, fall under the influence of an ancient demon known – a night mare. Soon unrelenting fear grabs the town by its throat. It’s up to Eryn, half human / half shapeshifter and cursed with some wicked dreamwalking skills - to take the demon down.

As Wikipedia so aptly states, “A nightmare (night + mare) is an unpleasant dream that can cause a strong negative emotional response from the mind, typically fear or horror, but also despair, anxiety and great sadness.”. Second Skin attempts to tap into all of these emotions and some of our most common nightmares.

While writing Second Skin I researched dreams and dream meanings, as well as questioned family and friends – comparing their nightmares for similar themes. It’s said that nightmares or night terrors usually plague children, however, a great number of the adults I consulted still awaken in the dark with a hand over their beating hearts. We had enlightening discussions around the water cooler and even the most stoic of souls would open up and share snippets of the dreams that haunt them.

You can learn a lot about a person by knowing what they dream and what they fear. In Second Skin, this is the night mare’s greatest advantage and poor Eryn is really thrown to the wolves.

Here’s ten of the most common nightmare themes I discovered:

1. Running hard (to evade a monster/individual, to find a family member) and yet never gaining ground or being stuck in place.

2. Falling from a vast distance. Falling into the unknown.

3. Arriving at school / work – naked.

4. Witnessing a disaster. Tornado, hurricane, tsunami, war-zone, etc.

5. Drowning.

6. Loose teeth or teeth falling out.

7. Unprepared for test or can’t find classroom.

8. Seeing a deceased family member but unable to communicate with them.

9. Car breaking down or unable to control vehicle.

10. Telephone or other machine fails to work during a crisis.

I’ve had teeth dreams, but then I’m terrified of dentists, and endured braces (with headgear!) in the 80s. o.O Living in a high tornado region, I’ve also had many dreams of ominous glowing, swirling clouds just out my bedroom window, or of a twister cutting a swath in the woods behind my house. Neither of these made an appearance in Second Skin, however some of the others on the list did. Including my own fear of dolls – a fear Eryn shares and sees brought to life in a way I’d NEVER want to experience.

But what really strikes terror in my heart is the increasing illiteracy rates that plague North America. Which is why I’m thrilled to have a story published in the SPIRITED Anthology released October 2011 in ebook and March 2012 in print. Contributing talent includes bestselling authors the likes of Maria V. Snyder, Candace Havens, Shannon Delany and more!

“Leap Books put together this anthology of 13 ghostly stories to support literacy. All proceeds from the sale of SPIRITED will be donated to 826 National. 826 offers free after-school tutoring, workshops, and in-schools programs because they believe that ‘strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.’

So, come on, fess up….what scares you?
