Young Adult Paranormal Romance/ Sci-Fi
Date Published: 10/11/2013
Hidden powers. Otherworldly boyfriends. FORBIDDEN SECRETS.
For Aislinn Moore, attending college at seventeen isn’t a big deal. Not when compared to the difficulties associated with seeing ethereal beings and having prophetic dreams.
As Aislinn learns to surmount the obstacles of her talents, she awakens something inside herself—an ancient memory, long forgotten. She senses there are reasons for her gifts, but remains unable to understand them.
When Alexander Welch enters her life, she learns of the Ewlishash—the hope bringers—and thinks she may have found her answer. Alexander is sexy, sweet, and his talents are like something straight out of a Sci-Fi flick. Aislinn wonders if she may be like him, but the more she tries to fit his mold, the more her instincts scream that her destiny holds something even greater.
What is the hardest part of writing your books?
I don’t actually find the hardest part in the
writing. I find that in the editing. Usually the story comes pretty easy for
me. It’s only later, when I’m going back to add in scene detail or changing up
a part of the story that’s not working, that I feel is difficult.
What songs are most played on your Ipod?
When I wrote The Heart-Shaped Emblor, I played a
lot of Enya (for the romance scenes), Michael Jackson (for the scenes with
injustice), and Muse (for the scenes where Aislinn is learning about herself or
discovering a new talent).
Do you have critique partners or beta readers?
I do. I’m actually part of Cascade Writers. Several
of the group members took part in editing this manuscript, whether it was just
a chapter at a time, or by reading the entire manuscript.
What book are you reading now?
The History Of Ours by Natalia Lynn. I purchased
her book at GeekGirlCon 2013 and so far, I’m really enjoying it.
How did you start your writing career?
I sat down and started writing. It wasn’t until I
finished the manuscript that I decided to try and publish it. I don’t suggest
this method. Not only did I have to chop the manuscript in half, but I also
made all the newbie mistakes. Ultimately, though, I was just writing to get the
characters in my head, down on paper.
I’m not sure what my next release will be. I will
have a second book to The Heart-Shaped Emblor, but I also have a dystopian romance
series I’m shopping out. Either could be my next release.
