   Anabel Unraveled  by Amanda Romine Lynch Print Length:  379 pages Publisher:  eLectio Publishing (February 2, 2015) Sold by:  Amazon Digital Services, Inc. Language:  English ASIN:  B00T57AJFU Free on Kindle Unlimited Anabel Unraveled is a special book to me, because it was the first novel that I actually finished. Before AU, I had started and stopped books many, many times. I hit a wall. I got into a situation that I couldn't find a way out of. But when I started my heroine Anabel’s story, I knew it was special. I knew she was special. Heck, I even knew that Jared was special, even though he made for a pretty intense antihero. And so, every time I got into a rough place, I toughed through it. I forced myself to write, even during the times that I didn’t want to, and I could not believe it when, at almost 150K words, I had finished. I had finished a book. It was a crazy, powerful, euphoria-laced feeling, one that I clung t...

ARISE Arson Saga #3 by Estevan Vega EXCERPT: Adam wasn't breathing. But he had bled enough for Emery to officially reach the point of total panic. His blood was all over her hands. The stain had crept beneath her fingernails. He looked so fragile, and his skin was turning pale. Why on earth wasn't he breathing? Had he lost too much of himself? Had he sacrificed too much energy during the fight? The shaking wouldn't stop anytime soon, Emery knew that much. She couldn't handle this. She wasn't good at coping with situations where people she cared about just stopped breathing. Her mind returned to that night when her cousin had taken too many pills. Then it fled to Mandy’s beach, that stupid party she never should’ve gone to. Arson went nuclear then collapsed. He’d stopped breathing too. Maybe that was how it worked with special abilities. Letting out too much power could cause the source to deplete then black out. But did the source die, or did it just temporari...

Hi everyone! I'm Emmy Laybourne, author of the MONUMENT 14 series. It’s such a pleasure to be here on Readingteen. Thanks to Amy and Austin for having me here and for helping with the blog tour! (Austin made my super-cool blog banner!)  Here's a little Q and A: What genre have you not yet written but really want to try? I am aching to try my hand at a high fantasy! It’s going to take a little convincing, but I want to pitch my excellent editors Jean Feiwel & Holly West, that I write a fantasy trilogy in a world with a kind of liquid-metal cyborg dragons. Thinking back to the way beginning, what’s the most important thing you’ve learned as a writer from then to now? Don’t let yourself be distracted by the publicity aspect of a career as a novelist. Yes, it’s important to promote your work, but if you allow it to take too much of your time, your work will suffer. Story has to come first. And if you clutter up your brain with marketing-this and giveaway-...
