I'm so happy to be able to feature two fellow authors here in such a short period of time! It may be a little while before I post the next featured author, being that I'm now working on Academy of the Fallen 2: Nephilim and getting ready to release Blood Bound (ISS #4) this October, but hopefully I can have at least one featured author a month. :) Enough about me... Today's featured author is Devyn Dawson, and may I just say... I LOVE the book cover for 'The Legacy of Kilkenny'!

Hi everyone! One of my favorite things about being an author is meeting the readers and other authors! So, I've decided to bring my readers and some of the authors I meet together. Every once in a while I will be introducing you guys to a new YA author by featuring them on my blog. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Laura A. H. Elliott, writer of YA and Middle Grade Fiction. Here is a little about Laura and her YA novel, Winnemucca. Winnemu cca One mistake changes her life forever. One answer will set her free. Once upon a time Ginny’s road blood ripened, the day she got wise to love. Engaged to the high school quarterback, his quarter-carat ring and enchanting smile should have been enough for her. But, she stands him up and takes a walk where every step questions her happily ever after gone-bad and the fate of the mother she never knew. The mother her father refuses to talk about. Ginny fights to untangle her big, fat, lie-of-a-life on an enchanted road trip to ...

Coming this October! Blood Bound (Imprinted Souls Series #4) *Spoiler - Read only if you have already read Imprinted Souls , Bloodlust and Divine Ashes * Most in this world are reborn with abilities. She will be reborn with a curse. With the struggles in dealing with a new lifestyle, Lexi starts to trust the one responsible for what she has become. As she learns that getting what she wanted is the worse thing that could have happened to her, she also learns about Tyler's irreparable mistakes, and the truth about the real Nicholas Taylor. He never wanted the responsibilities that came with being a maker; he never wanted to be tied to anyone in anyway, especially with the eternal ties of being blood bound!

***If you have not read Divine Ashes (ISS#3), please wait to read this. There are major SPOILERS in this chapter. *** Click here for the previous blog post! Sneak Preview Blood Bound – Imprinted Souls Series #4 Chapter 1 Life… Death… I’m not even sure at what point it all turned into a cruel joke; a joke where what I had wished for turned out to be what I now hated the most. That night started out just like any other night. I was home alone, waiting for my maker, Nicholas, to return so that he could take me hunting. It had been three months and he still didn’t trust me to go by myself. He was just so sure that I would not clean up my mess and that he would have to pay the consequences. Not to mention that he was paranoid about others looking for me. Three months! ... Three months since I was turned into a vampire… Three months since I asked Nicholas to take me away from Tyler so that he would not see me like this, even though Tyler was a vampir...

If you were on Twitter this Saturday, you likely read the AMAZING tweets tagged #YAsaves. It all started with a Wall Street Journal article (not even sure if I should call it an article…those usually require research). If you missed it, you can read it here . I’m not wasting time or words on what was said. Instead, I will tell you about the outcome, which consisted of actual YA readers coming together once again to stick up for the books they love, sharing stories about how YA changed and saved their lives. Made me proud to be an author. I was one of the many people directly impacted by YA. YA gave me the courage and motivation to write YA, to move forward with the publishing process, and to be where I'm today. It is because of YA that I now do what I love, and in the process, I made some amazing friends and continue to meet amazing people everyday! You cannot deny that because of YA books, dark or not, more teens have been reading. Okay, I will just sa...
