The box set is on sale for $.99!
Blurb:
Lark Singer is
seventeen years old and already on the way to a brilliant music career. But as
she and her band, Starlight, gear up for a competition, life seems to be
throwing her a few curve balls. The mysteries of her past seem to be
unraveling, and she’s no longer certain she wants to know those answers or how
knowing about her past will affect her difficult relationship with her mother.
And when her best friend, Bean, changes things between them, all her plans for
a musical future are placed in jeopardy. How can she balance her complicated
personal life to keep her musical goals on track?
BOX SET CONTAINS ALL
THREE BOOKS IN THE STARLIGHT SERIES:
I’d like to
thank author Jennifer Comeaux, author of Crossing the Ice, for inviting me to join the Food and Fragrance
Blog Tour.
Food! I made myself hungry with all the brownies and pizzas in Spell Check, Book #1 in the Teen Wytche Saga. By the time I wrote the
third book in the series, Spell Fire, I had switched to healthier fare — turkey sandwiches and
organic apples. Expect sugar and spice in my upcoming fourth novel, Spell For Sophia, a Young Adult fantasy romance (Astraea Press,
November 2014).
Fragrance! As you’ll see below, an angry spell
book can be pretty noisome!
If my
character were a glass of wine...
Sophia, is a foster teen that makes the mistake of looking-up her lawless bio-parents. Wine? My beta reader suggested Malbec because Sophia is fiery,
complex, and Latina.
Spell
For Sophia is a paranormal romance with an awesome New Orleans time travel twist. Sophia is fond of gumbo and beignets. But her BFF Ainslie loves California
Cuisine. Spell For Sophia is both — a mashup of flavors and cultures — fresh, organic, varied, and satisfying.
Snack?
The enduring power of friendship is an underlying theme in three of the
books in the Teen Wytche Saga, including Spell
For Sophia. When long-separated friends Sophia and Ainslie think of each
other, they think of sleepovers and munching popcorn popped in Ainslie’s home
theater popcorn machine.
Your
character's choice of candy?
Candy is in short supply when Sophia takes refuge with a voodoo priestess
who has withdrawn deep in the bayou. The hero, Breaux, is the kind of guy who’d
give Sophia Dove Dark Chocolate with Almonds. He’d want her to feel special,
eat candy that has some nutritional value, and heed the advice printed on the
inside of the purple foil wrapper.
What sort of
fragrance would be associated with your book?
Alas, swamp water and brimstone! In the Teen Wytche Saga, an ever-expanding
group of teens protect a grimoire that keeps morphing in appearance and magic.
In Spell For Sophia the spell book
has gone dark and voodoo. If you dare open it, the grimoire will emit a foul
mist.
What is your
most memorable meal?
Thanksgivings were always insane.My mother has been known to tell everyone to bring dessert. It took my
siblings and me a few years to catch on and to offer to bring healthy side dishes.
Otherwise, Thanksgiving was turkey, mashed potatoes, and a lot of pies. No
wonder I have a sugar addiction!
How would you
describe your writing?
Deceptive. New readers to the Teen Wytche Saga might expect the books to be frothy because they are sweet romances. They'll discover the serious, often
life-altering issues my characters face — parental death, sibling rivalry,
mental illness, child abduction, poverty, and more.
Next up on the blog tour
will be Krysten Lindsay Hager, who will tell us
about her latest release, True Colors,
and Teresa Howard, author of the new
historical romance, For Love Alone.
