They weren’t supposed to have feelings.
Metal will Clash
In a not-too-distance future, robots composed of metal for bones, electric cords for veins, and synthetics for skin are now available. For purchase. Eighteen-year-old Vienna Avery’s home is going to change forever, now that her mom purchased an Italian Chef Robot to cook and reside in their house.
Secrets will Unfold
The government claimed robots were indifferent, unthinking pieces of metal and elastic—assistance for the help of humans. Vienna never believed much of what the government said. The pieces didn’t always fit. And now Vienna knows why, because she’s uncovered the government’s secret: that robots have emotions, sucking Vienna into the underground world of feeling, thinking, and sovereign robots.
Sparks will Fly
Alec Cypher is everything a robot is not supposed to be: deep, dark, and dangerously human. And for some reason, he wants to save Vienna from the government’s prying, vindictive eyes. Going forward, Vienna will have to learn to trust robots and battle the growing feelings she never thought possible . . . feelings for the green-eyed, soul-searching robot named Alec.

love beta readers one day. J
What book are you reading now?
Starters by Lisa Price
I have been dying to get to this for
the longest time and am so happy I’m finally reading it J
How did you start your writing career?
I wasn’t one of those prodigy
child-type of things. I could barely read in third grade. My mom had to buy me
hooked on phonics and I did it until about fifth grade. I hated reading. I
hated that I pronounced everything too slow and could never guess what the word
was I was supposed to be saying. I hated sounding things out that sometimes
were pronounced one way and sometimes another. It didn’t make any sense. And I
was frustrated that I couldn’t get it. And I hated reading all the books we
were forced to in school. They were horrible. I would flip through the pages
for thirty minutes pretending to read. On top of all that, none of books I was
reading seemed to connect with me or mean anything. I didn’t officially start reading
until high school. Until I found an author my mom had been reading and told me
to give it a try. The authors’ name was Francine Rivers. And she was the start
that changed my life.
After I read through all of Francine
Rivers’ books I started searching for more books that were similar to hers and
slowly I started to find them. I stumbled upon a Julie Garwood book for sale at
the library for $1.00. And when I finished the book, I was shocked. It was
AMAZING! I could bow down to Julie Garwood. I was like where have these books
been all my life!!! Whoa! Books can be about romance! I need to find more. Must
find more. Now. So good! I started actively going to book stores, going into
the romance sections and buying tons of books to read. Instead of going out and
partying at night, I was in my room reading a book–devouring each word, the
characters and the romantic tension between them.
I had just decided I
wanted to change my major from Finance to Math and since I was in my last year,
my school gave me the gut-wrenching no. It was a horrible feeling, to finally
feel like you knew what you wanted and what you wanted to be in life and have
them say no. I was so bummed I just sat in my room, staring at the walls,
thinking what am I going to do now. And I said, Write a book. Get lost in your book. I opened my laptop, sat down
at my desk and wrote the first ten pages of Sparked (what was
then called Saving Vienna).
Sheena Snow, contrary to her name, lives in South Florida and has only seen snow once. But she would love for it to land on her eyelashes and sparkle in her hair. She loves painting, candle making, orchid shows, tattoo conventions, hockey games and library book sales! After college she landed a full time job but kept serving pizza on the weekends and writing stories about characters she wished really existed, characters who never gave up no matter the obstacles life threw at them. At the age of twenty-six, she sold her first book and bought her very first puppy, a wonderful Yorkie named Aladdin.
Thank you for having!
