Interview: Hiding by Jenny Morton Potts



Hey guys! Today I have for you all an interview and giveaway from the author Jenny Morton Potts. She is the author of the book Hiding. First off, a thanks to Jenny for taking the time to let me interview you. Let's get started!


1. Can you tell us about your challenges in getting a book published?
The challenge is firstly in getting read by the right person and to an increasing extent, at
the right time. Agents now – and you still really need one for traditional publishing –
have a list of what they are looking for. They almost have a shopping basket, particularly
in the States, for genre books. They know what they want to read next, or rather what
their readers want to read next. This is hard to adhere to as a writer but if you can, it will
bring success. So finding the right fit with a literary agent is most of the battle.

2. Where do you get your ideas?
I have a million ideas which come to me in a meteor shower constantly. They come from
everything I see, hear and feel. This is something I have always had but I believe we all
do; just, my head flowed like that from the start, rather than needing to find a tap in.

3. What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?
In Hiding I particularly like the slower chapters. They are deeper, exploratory and they
include very personal moments for me. The book is dedicated to my Gramps and I was
able to write some about our times together. The book is full of moments spent with my
family. (The Scottish section I should say!)

4. How did you come up with the title?

I hummed and hawed about the title, because it is very simple. But it just did everything for the story. ‘Hiding’ is all about hiding, in many, many ways. So it was perfect, I think and the word itself has different meanings. Besides, we all identify with the need to hide,
particularly in childhood.

5. Is there any particular author or book that influenced you in any way either
growing up or as an adult?
I find that my prose resembles a contemporary Forster. I think I admire him so much that
I shape my sentences accordingly. I am sure I am hugely influenced by literature, as a child and an adult. Tragedy is a huge driver in my novels. Writers like Solzhenitsyn made a significant impact on me as a youngster and I am always addressing heavy themes, in the hope of understanding. That
said, all my books are equally comedic. This is an aspect of my writing that I would find
difficult to change. Tragicomedy works best for me.

6. When did you first start writing and when did you finish your book?
I started this book the year before last and finished it last year. I spent about six months
writing it.

7. What do you do when you are not writing?
I walk my dog. I travel – all my family live far away, so there’s lots of trips and we get a
lot of visitors too. I like super fiendish sudoku. Reading novels, of course. Poetry. I like
simple things: spending time with my family. I like foreign films and American box sets.
Tennis, when my back permits!

8. Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?
Seek out like minded authors and share with them. Enjoy your work, it will show on the
page when you do.

9. Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?
Thank you. Come and say hello. Tell me what’s on your mind.

Now question time....

If you were to get a tattoo, what would the graphic be? Or if you have a tattoo, share a pic and its meaning.

Well first off, I would probably never get a tattoo because I'm super scared of needles and the fact that it's permanent lol :) However, if I had to choose I'm not really sure. It would probably be pretty small and probably in an unseen place...maybe a small heart. What about you guys?

Review: Pretty Little Werewolf by Katie Salidas


 Hi! Today I have for you guys a review of Pretty Little Werewolf by Katie Salidas, which just came out today. Keep reading to see my thoughts on the book and to enter to win an ebook copy of the book! :)


Synopsis



All Giselle ever wanted was a family... who can accept her for what she is, a werewolf.

In a world where supernatural creatures are not out and proud, this has been a problem for 16 year old Giselle. A child of the system, she's been bounced from home to home for as long as she can remember. As soon as the moon calls out her inner wolf, it's back into the system she goes.

Against the odds, a new family is found for Giselle. One that may prove the answer to all her dreams and wishes. But this family comes with a deadly secret that could send Giselle six feet under instead of back into the system.

Amid factions of warring witches and werewolves, and deadly curses with no hope for a cure, the way will not be an easy one, but if Giselle can call upon her skills as a lone wolf, she may just be able to unearth the truth keeping her from the one thing she's ever wanted... family.

Blog Tour: The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler (Playlist)





The Summer of Chasing Mermaids
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Release Date: June 2nd 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Retellings, Chick Lit

Synopsis:

The youngest of six talented sisters, Elyse d’Abreau was destined for stardom—until a boating accident took everything from her. Now, the most beautiful singer in Tobago can’t sing. She can’t even speak.

Seeking quiet solitude, Elyse accepts a friend’s invitation to Atargatis Cove. Named for the mythical first mermaid, the Oregon seaside town is everything Elyse’s home in the Caribbean isn’t: An ocean too cold for swimming, parties too tame for singing, and people too polite to pry—except for one.

Christian Kane is a notorious playboy—insolent, arrogant, and completely charming. He’s also the only person in Atargatis Cove who doesn’t treat Elyse like a glass statue. He challenges her to express herself, and he admires the way she treats his younger brother Sebastian, who believes Elyse is the legendary mermaid come to life. 

When Christian needs a first mate for the Cove’s high-stakes Pirate Regatta, Elyse reluctantly stows her fear of the sea and climbs aboard. The ocean isn’t the only thing making waves, though—swept up in Christian’s seductive tide and entranced by the Cove’s charms, Elyse begins to wonder if a life of solitude isn’t what she needs. But changing course again means facing her past. It means finding her inner voice. And scariest of all, it means opening her heart to a boy who’s best known for breaking them . . .

I think this is the perfect playlist for this book. Enjoy :)

Armchair BEA Day 3: Character Chatter & Blogging Q&A


Armchair BEA

Hi! Today marks the 3rd day of Armchair BEA where we talk about our favorite couples and blogging in general :)

It's time to give your favorite characters some love! Characters are essential to a story, and they can make or break a book for some readers. Now's your chance to shine the spotlight on your favorite characters, or maybe your least favorite. Who's your favorite couple? What are the components of a well written character? What are you favorite or least favorite cliches associated with characters? 

This is a really hard question....I have to many favorite characters to even know where to begin lol...I'm going to go old school and say Nancy Drew because without her I don't think I would have found my love of reading. :) My favorite couple I would say would be Edward and Bella from Twilight and more recently I would say Penelope and Char from Hold Me Like A Breath by Tiffany Schmidt.

Blogging 101. All kinds of tips and tricks to get you started or keep you going. Talk about ARCs, reviewing in general, web design, etc. What blogging platform do you use? How do you network? What are some of your favorite web designs? Or maybe you want to talk about your own blogging journey, and how you got to where you are now. Either way, we want you to share your knowledge with the rest of the community!

ARCs...when I first started out I would email tons of authors and publishers every day trying to just put myself out there. If they would provide an ARC that would be awesome and if not no big deal I would just see if I could get an interview or guest post instead. So in regards to ARCs I would just say don't give up. My reviews here are usually short and sweet and to the point. So if your reviews aren't super long thats ok just as long as you get your point across about how you liked the book. I love web design! If it weren't for book blogging I would not have found my love of web and graphic design....I even went so far as to major in it now that I'm in college :) I love changing up my designs and in fact the design I am using now I just designed a few days ago. I am currently working on networking through mediums such as twitter because I am not a big social network user but I'll get there :). It's definitely been a long journey in book blogging. For two years I consistently posted every day or every other day but as soon as I started college it got really hard to balance college, life, and blogging/reading to where my blogging really just kinda stopped and I didn't read as much. Now, I'm trying to find that balance because I really love blogging and the book blogging community itself and I love being able to share my love of reading with other book lovers.

TBR Thursday (2)




Hey guys! Happy Thursday!! So today I thought I would participate in a new meme created by Words with Sarah called TBR Thursday. I think this is a great way to reduce our ever growing TBR piles.  So, what you do is you pick a book that's been in sitting in your TBR pile for a good while that you plan on reading/reviewing this week. However, I not only plan to pick a book in this post but also review a TBR book. So every Thursday I will have a review of a book that's been in my TBR pile for a while and also tell you which TBR book I will read the following week :) Today I will be reviewing out of my TBR pile Lost Girls by Ann Kelley...I will reveal what book I will review next Thursday at the end of my post.

Blog Tour: Secrets & Lies by Jacqueline Green (Review)


Hey guys! Welcome to day one of the Secrets and Lies blog tour hosted by Paper Lantern Lit. So let's hop to it :)

Can you keep a secret?
Tenley Reed and Sydney Morgan have never seen eye to eye -- until now. United by a common goal, they are determined to find out who was behind their friend's murder. Joined by Emerson Cunningham, a gorgeous but troubled teen model, the girls start their own investigation. But in the isolated beach town of Echo Bay, it's hard to know who's a friend and who's an enemy.
Secrets and Lies is the second book in the Truth or Dare series -- and will keep readers in suspense from beginning to end.



Review

I loved this book just as much as I loved the first book Truth or Dare! The plot still centers around 3 girls and picks up right where Truth or Dare left off. This book has so much suspense, romance, and mystery making for a great read. This books was definitely better than the last when it came to plot twists because it really keeps you guessing throughout the whole read. All of the underlying relationships also make the book a great read because you not only get the crazy mystery but you still get the regular high school romance drama. As I said in my review of Truth or Dare this is definitely a great series to start reading and the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because of its uncanny similarity to Pretty Little Liars but that is definitely not a deal breaker for me being a fan of the series myself. I can't wait for the last book in the trilogy to come out to see how this complex amazing story ends.

Interview w/Vivian Eve


Hey guys! Today I have for you an interview with Vivian Eve, author of Birthright. Let's get started! :)

1. When did you first realize you wanted to be an author?


As far back as I can remember, honestly. I almost always carried around notebooks to write down my ideas. I dabbled with typewriters before gaining access to computers; thankfully, I grew up in a generation where they were becoming an extremely common thing to own and use. So aside from a very dark period of my life where I almost completely gave up on writing, I could be frequently found typing away and stashing kernels of ideas into removable storage for future use.


2. How long does it usually take to write a book?


Birthright took me around a year to actually write; fleshing out the characters/world and finishing the outline ups the time even more. I'm not a super fast writer, but I'm testing out ways to hopefully better streamline the process without suffering a drop in quality.


3. What was your inspiration for the characters in Birthright?


It's hard to pinpoint exactly. Once I conceived the overall plot, they fell into place naturally. There has been some tweaking here and there along the way, but the characters all turned out great. In the future, readers will get to see why I love each and every one of them—even the villains. ;)


4. Where did you get the idea of the storyline?


My love of history, Arthurian legends, and the nagging voices of the characters who refused to be quiet about wanting their stories to be known to the world. I didn't set out to write a certain story or a specific genre; it just happened to come together that way.


5. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?


I already knew years ago that writing is hard, but I didn't realize just HOW hard. There's a lot that goes into it: worldbuilding, character creation/development, etc. And this isn't even getting into the technicality (grammar, punctuation, etc.) portion. Personally, I think seeing your stories through to the end is the hardest; writing novels takes a lot of patience, time, and learning. You need a ton of persistence and determination in this line of work (not to mention thick skin, but that's another story entirely).


6. Do you listen to music for inspiration as you write certain scenes?


There's rarely a time when I'm not listening to music while writing. To help with my process, I'll also create playlists based on the story I'm writing. Sometimes, the songs will reflect a specific scene; other times, it'll be songs representing the overall theme/feel to keep myself in the mood of the world.


7. Do you have any suggestions to help people become a better writer? If so, what are they?


Read as much as you can, write as much as you can. Brush up on your grammar skills with some research and studying; there are tons of books about writing and language, and limitless sources on the web. Always strive for improvement; it's important to always be open to constructive criticism in order to improve your craft. Lastly, NEVER GIVE UP!

Thank you Vivian for taking out the time to let me interview you :) I will be posting a review of Birthright by Vivian Eve tomorrow.

Review: Eden Forest by Aoife Marie Sheridan


17087721
Sarajane Anderson is your regular twenty one year old. With family, friends and a normal job. She also happens to be the only person who can save Saskia, a world parallel to earth.When Sarajane is taken to Saskia, she could never have imagined the reality of the world she steps into, a world where magical abilities are in everyone's possession. She must face a father she never knew, a world that is beyond her belief. A guardian who captures her heart, and a darkness that wants to take it.On this journey Sarajane discovers her magical abilities and realizes they come with a price. Sarajane is truly tested, as her loved ones are put at risk. The question she must ask herself is, how do you choose who lives and who dies?

Review:

I loved this book!! The story was great and something different which I liked and lets not even get me started about all of the underlying love stories going on lol. You know how I am a sucker for love and this book really does bring that romantic aspect in multiple ways.  There is a great amount of adventure in this book along with a small amount of mystery and just enough romance and action.  This book made me laugh, cry, swoon, and everything else in between. The book really checks all of the boxes for me and has easily become one of my favorite books.  The only reason I don't give it five stars is because of the frequent spelling errors. A lot of the words had "my" as a replacement for key letters in the word and "my" was used as a replacement for "her" which made it kinda difficult and confusing at times to get the gist of the situation but other than that it is a great book and I highly recommend taking out the time to read it. Eden Forest is the first book in a trilogy which I love because I can't wait to find out what happens next in Sarajane's journey.

Interview w/Aoife Marie Sheridan


Hey guys! So, yesterday I reviewed Eden Forest by Aoife Marie Sheridan which will be linked to at the end of this post. Today I have for you all an interview from the author of the book, Aoife Marie Sheridan. First off, a thanks to Aoife for taking the time to let me interview you. Let's get started!

When did you first realized you wanted to be an author?

Only recently believe it or not, like in the last year. I started writing as a way to release my emotions I lost two people so writing helped me get through it. I released my first book and then wrote the second as I was still in turmoil and it was my release. It’s not until now in the last year that I have realized just how much I love to write and I know I will never stopped. I think I am over my grieving process and now I can write through different eyes as such not just ones fuelled with grief. 

How long does it usually take to write a book? 


The first book took me a year, the second about nine months. The most recent about three months. I have also started about four other stories and they are all on different levels of completion. If I had the time, I can’t see why I wouldn’t write book in two months. 

What was your inspiration for the characters in Eden Forest?

People around me, every character in Eden Forest represents people in my life. Every single one of the them. 

Where did you get the idea of the storyline?

One night I had a dream of a man and women on a horse, passing through a wall of fire. The dream lingered with me, as did my grief. So I started my story. My starting point was my dream and I worked my way from there. Eden Forest helped me once again deal with death, and all that comes with it. So in a way I am very grateful for this story. 
I always wondered why God created us and what was our purpose, but those questions are unanswered. So in my story I give you the answers for this world called Saskia. In the story God creates a world parallel to ours, for four fallen angels. 
Death is something that I also question now, like why do we die, is 60 to 90yrs of life enough, imagine having immortality what would one do to gain it? And that’s where a lot of my plot lies. The greed for immortality, for power’s that only God should wield, drives Saskia into war.
God decides to give one person all the powers that anyone could possess to banish evil, before it destroys Saskia and Earth. This one person happens to be a young lady called Sarajane Anderson who lives in the mortal world (Earth) but is actually from Saskia. 

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

That I could create worlds and see them so vividly in my head. I was surprised that I could do this  and like I said see it so clearly, I never would have imagined that I would be capable of something so creative. :) 


Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?

I really feel that when I am writing that I often stop and think what would the reader want and it changes my story but I really think that you should write like no one will ever read it. So it stays true to your heart and your 100% behind your story. I find when I go off course thinking of some reading it, I stop and tell myself no one will ever read it, so tell the story the way I want to tell it. That would be my suggestion to writers. 


Do you listen to music for inspiration as you write certain scenes?


Yes, yes and yes. :) I love all type of music and create playlists that would suit each book before I start writing. If I get writers block I play the music and I start typing. It depends on the scene I’m writing but if it’s sad, powerful or just world building I will play the song that I have allocated to each of these. It does the trick for me.

Review: The Savages by Matt Whyman

Hey guys! So, today I have for you a review of The Savages by Matt Whyman. I meant to get it out yesterday but didn't get a chance to so here it is. So let me tell you guys what this book was all about :)

17315389They'd love to have you for dinner....
Sasha Savage is in love with Jack - a handsome, charming...vegetarian. Which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that Sasha's family are very much 'carnivorous'. Behind the family facade all is not as it seems. Sasha's father rules his clan with an iron fist and her mother's culinary skills are getting more adventurous by the day. When a too-curious private detective starts to dig for truths, the tight-knit family starts to unravel - as does their sinister taste in human beings...

And now for the review....Honestly this book was a struggle to get through. It took me almost a month and a half to finish because it really didn't draw me in or get my attention.  However, I didn't really want to create a DNF review so I keep reading. I liked the underlying love story of course but that was really the only thing that keep me reading. The book does have an interesting concept which is one good thing about this book because it is pretty unique and the writing was great but all in all I just don't think it was the book for me. But, if you are into books that have a little out there storyline with a strong family bond present in it along with a dash of love then you may love this book.  But that are my views of the book. If you have read this book as well I would love to hear your thoughts. I hope you all are having a Happy Father's Day! :)

TBR Thursday (1): Lost Girls by Ann Kelley




Hey guys! Happy Thursday!! So today I thought I would participate in a new meme created by Words with Sarah called TBR Thursday. I think this is a great way to reduce our ever growing TBR piles.  So, what you do is you pick a book that's been in sitting in your TBR pile for a good while that you plan on reading/reviewing this week. However, I not only plan to pick a book in this post but also review a TBR book. So starting next week every Thursday I will have a review of a book that's been in my TBR pile for a while and also tell you which TBR book I will read the following week :) But today I will just tell you which TBR book I will read/review next week since its the first post. 

So I chose....*drum roll please*....Lost Girls by Ann Kelley!


This book sounds awesome! I can definitely see why I wanted to review it in the first place :) Here's the synopsis:

No parents. No rules. No way home.
Fourteen-year-old Bonnie MacDonald couldn't be more excited for a camping trip on an island off the coast of Thailand. But when a strong current sweeps Bonnie and her friends past their appointed campsite, depositing them instead on what the boatman calls a "forbidden island," they're just happy to have reached dry land.
Overnight, things take a turn for the worse. Three torturous days pass, but the boatman doesn't return, and what once seemed like a vacation in paradise becomes a battle against the elements.
Peppered with short, frantic entries from Bonnie's journal as she struggles to survive, Lost Girls tells the page-turning, heart-pounding story of a group of teen girls fighting for their lives.

So you guys should totally join in on the fun of this new meme :) What's your next read from your TBR pile?
