Extreme Identity Crisis

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

THE CONTEST PORTION OF THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED!


At last! The day I review C.C. Hunter’s YA series, book one, Born At Midnight is here. Some of you (that I’ve talked to personally) know how I feel about this book; others, are unaware. Either way, I plan to give you a taste of what C.C.’s Shadow Falls series (well at least book one) is like:


Teenage years are hard enough, but when you face your parents’ divorce, losing your boyfriend (just because you wouldn’t have sex with the jerk), a therapist who recommends some camp you never heard of, plus you and your best friend aren’t exactly as close as you used to be all at once, it can be a recipe for a really bad day. For Kylie Galen, it most definitely is one heck of a crappy day.


Kylie soon learns that Shadow Falls, the camp she's sent to, isn’t quite what she thought it would be. Vampires, werewolves, shape shifters, and fae running around…straight out of the imagination. How can such things be real? Why do they keep insisting Kylie is a supernatural like them? So what if she sees ghosts? Whoop-de-do that she was born at midnight. She’s still human…right?

But a stalker soldier dude, her vampire and witch roommates, and a fae camp counselor, beg to differ.


What will happen to Kylie if she accepts she just might be one of them? And if she is, what the heck is she? And why, when people know she sees ghosts, are they afraid of her?


Come join C.C. Hunter on a most unique identity crisis journey in a whole different spin on the paranormal in this brand new incredible YA series. I love this book and can’t wait to read Awake At Dawn (book number 2 in the series, being released in October of this year).

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!If you aren’t sure about whether to embark with us, then let C.C.’s giveaway help change your mind.

One lucky winner will get a copy of Born At Midnight (you wouldn’t have to take my word that this is an awesome book, you could find out for yourself--how cool is that?)

FIRST: Download your free copy of Turned At Dark and read it (it’s about 40 pages, you can do it!) Or you can read it at the site I mentioned above.

SECOND: Email me the answer to the following question:   What kind of supernatural/paranormal creature is the doctor who sees Della in the hospital in the story Turned at Dark(You have until 10 p.m. Central Standard Time tonight to email me your answers).

THIRD: If you email me with the correct answer to the question above I’ll enter you into a drawing to win a copy of Born At Midnight. I’ll email the winner and reveal the winner’s name on tomorrow’s post.

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I&
