Interview with S.D Shortwinter author of Tip of the Spear

Scipio Elysian is an ancient Legionnaire that - at an important moment in time - managed to really piss off God. Now, however, he has the 506th Shock Troops straight from the dark side at his disposal...and a nasty plan that will turn Europe into a bonfire.
Sabine’s latest assignment takes her to London, to protect the daughter of an international arms dealer targeted by Elysian’s damned souls. Vanessa Zhou, unfortunately, is absolutely thrilled to be in danger from dark denizens. Sabine joins forces with Awair Overjohn (walked in front of a bus, 1957) and Max Robespierre (guillotine without trial, 1794) to counter Elysian and his second in command – the certifiable Lizzie Borden.
Does Sabine have an idea on how to stop the madness? Yes, in fact she does. She fully intends to slice off Elysian’s gentleman sausage and feed it to him.
During the battle to stop an all-out war, Sabine discovers true sacrifice in the most unlikely of circumstances - and something she hasn’t known for a thousand years in God’s service ...friendship.

Thank you Daniel for the interview and giveaway:

--The Twitter version: tell us about your book in 140 characters or less.

God's most decorated warrior is a 15-year-old girl with daddy issues. Sabine Mellde, a lonely teenage angel, is trying to earn her wings…despite a series of mishaps that have caused Heaven’s insurance premiums to skyrocket. Simply put, she’s screwed.

--How did you get the idea for the story?

I’ve been working on an infrastructure in Heaven for 15 years, where extraordinary people work for God in their afterlife. Sabine is the adopted daughter of a minor character from another book. I’m adopted, too, and like her, I’ve never really fit in.

--Which character would you most/least like to have dinner with?

The Archangel Michael, for sure. Like me, he’s a big movie fan, enjoys cheeseburgers and the latest technology. Plus, he’s 13 billion years old, so there would be a lot to talk about.

--What are some of your favorite books? Do you still have much time to read?

Anything by Barry Eisler or John Sandford. I grew out of Patricia Cornwall, but I used to be huge fan. And no, I don’t read much anymore. Too busy.

-

-Do you have any other works in progress? Any teasers or release dates?

Poison Well will be out soon, which chronicles the rocky start of the Joint Human Analysis Directorate in Heaven. The Directorate tracks murderers and their victims for God. I don’t do sequels, mainly because I think the focus should be on the story in front of me, not the next one.

-

-If a fairy godmother told you your life could be like a favorite book for 24 hours, which book would you pick and why?

That is an interesting question. Harry Potter, of course…except I would go to Vegas with those powers and cheat at blackjack! Mad stacks of money!

--Do you need anything to write (music, coffee, etc)? Are there any songs on your playlist- songs that inspired you or that were playing while you wrote?

Silence, just sweet silence….but I will take a break with Leona Neass or Filter.

--If you could have any superpower what would you choose?

I’m a guy. What would any guy want? To see through clothing, naturally.

--Besides writing, what do you like to do in your free time?

I restore antique vehicles. My last one was a WWII Jeep and I’m working on an old Volvo now. I enjoy hunting for the parts in spooky car graveyards.

--Is there anything else you want to add or say to your readers?

Enjoy your family while you can, those kids will be off before you know it. If it’s a choice between a great book and a day with your children, choose the kids.

Lightning round: this or that?

Vanilla or chocolate? Vanilla.

Edward or Jacob? No idea what you are talking about.

Hockey or soccer? Soccer

Ebook or paper? Paper.

Salty or sweet? Salty.

Beach or mountains? Beach.

Phone call or email? Both.

Early bird or night owl? Early bird.

Dog or cat? Dog.

Messy or neat? Neat

Ninjas or pirates? Pirates, aaarrgh.

What do you think of negative reviews?

Personally, I tend to not really post many negative reviews because several of reasons:
1-I’m pretty good at picking what I will like
2-When I do pick one I don’t like, I usually don’t finish, and I don’t think it’s fair to review an unfinished book.
3-I hope to be published one day and I don’t want to burn any bridges.

Do you post them or not and what's your thoughts?

Review: Operative by Kate Kaynak

Operative by Kate Kaynak

Maddie and the rest of the team must catch the person selling classified information to terrorists--before they become the targets.

Publishes in US: March 15th 2012
5th in Ganzfield series, 6th Soulmate releases Dec 2012
Source: Spencer Hill

My Review:
    Operative is as full of amazing as I've come to expect from Kate Kaynak. She did not disappoint, and the only complaint I have is that I have to wait for Soulmate.
    Maddie is brave as ever, and I continue to admire her initiative and her concern for others. I'd really love to be more like her, and that would be true even if the hotness that is Trevor wasn't part of the package deal. Their relationship is so sweet to watch, and I love how it keeps developing, even though they had me a bit nervous at the beginning of this one, because I wasn't sure how things would be fixed.
    Kate writes some of the best secondary characters I've ever read as well. They all have so much life, and I'm always eager to find out more about them. It is hard though because she writes the story her way, and it's not always the easiest to read because it can break your heart.
    I am amazed at how she keeps surprising me and throwing in a curveball just when I think I have everything and everyone figured out--shows the mark of a true and talented author. I'm honored that she sends me her books to read, and that I can call her a friend as well.
    I've said it before, and I don't mind repeating, if you haven't read this series, you are seriously missing out! It's consistently been on my list of favorites that I recommend to anyone. Great characters, writing that's superb and evokes so much emotion while still managing to leave me on the edge of my seat.

Interview with David Estes author of Angel Evolution

Angel Evolution by David Estes

When Taylor meets Gabriel at college, she is in awe of the subtle glow that surrounds him. No one else, not even her best friend, seems to notice.
Something about him scares her.
Is all as it appears? While Taylor struggles for answers, she finds herself in the middle of a century old war centered on one miraculous revelation: evolution.

5 ebook copies up for grabs, open internationally. Please check out and comment on interview below :)

--The Twitter version: tell us about your book in 140 characters or less.

Girl meets boy who is an angel on a mission to seduce her. BFF meets boy who is a demon on a mission trying to stop the angel. Epic battle.

--How did you get the idea for the story?

I was inspired to write Angel Evolution by my wife, Adele.  Before I met her, I never believed I would have an idea good enough to write about.  She convinced me to pursue my first idea and just go with it and see where it would take me.  The Evolution Trilogy was born!  When I first started writing Angel Evolution, I had no clue that it might turn into a one thousand page trilogy.  The more I wrote, the more the story took on a life of its own and some of the characters changed in ways I never expected.

I’ve officially caught the writing bug and have written eight books in fifteen months!

--Which character would you most/least like to have dinner with? 

Awesome question!  I would most like to have dinner with a character who is in all three books, but is most prevalent in the third book.  His name is David and he’s Gabriel’s (the main male character) younger brother.  He changes throughout the trilogy in ways that will make you shiver and cringe.  I’d love to pick his brain on what makes him the way he is.

The character I’d least like to have dinner with is Dionysus, the angel puppet master.  His evil pervades all three books and I just think dinner with him would be a real drag.

--What are some of your favorite books? Do you still have much time to read?

I have so many favorite books it’s hard to pick just a few, but I’ll try.  At the very top of the list are any books by authors like Dean Koontz and J.R.R Tolkien.  Tolkien was my favorite author as a child, while Koontz became a favorite of mine later in life.  Each of them have an uncanny ability to weave words into a book, like threads into a tapestry.  I have also been inspired recently by Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games and Amanda Hocking’s numerous series—each have both seemingly come out of nowhere to gain immense popularity.  They are both great storytellers, which is what I hope to be. 

I love, love, love reading and I will never stop no matter how busy I am.  I sneak it in whenever I can.  My wife calls me ‘Brick’, after the child character from the TV show The Middle.  In the show, Brick is constantly reading no matter where he is.  That’s me.  We’ll be watching TV and then a commercial will come on and Adele will run back into the kitchen to get a drink, and when she comes back, I will have my book out, trying to sneak in a page before the show comes back on!  So while I don’t have nearly as much time as I used to because I work full time in addition to my writing, I still manage to read enough to satisfy my addiction.

--Do you have any other works in progress? Any teasers or release dates?

Besides spending time with my wife, writing is my favorite thing to do, so I’m keeping very busy.  I’m working on a number of other projects while launching the Evolution Trilogy.

My current project is a YA post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller written from the perspective of two characters in alternating chapters.  Without giving two much away, the two characters (one male and one female) come from very different walks of life, but are thrust together unexpectedly.  As their lives intertwine, they must seek to bring balance to a world that is out of control.   I hope to release the entire trilogy in mid-2012. 

I have recently finished a YA novel about a boy with a very unique disability and one hell of a sense of humor who meets loads of interesting teenagers on a suspenseful yet funny adventure to uncover the truth about the father he never knew.  I am seeking an agent for this novel but am still open to self-publishing it if I am unsuccessful.

I have also completed the first four books in a children's series aimed at kids between the ages of 7 and 10.  It's a classic superhero story about a girl who meets a strange animal who leads her to a treasure chest in the middle of the forest.  The chest contains a gift that allows the girl to perform miraculous feats.  I have another two books planned for the series, which I will be working to complete in 2012.  The first book in the series is currently being reviewed by a large children's book publisher.

My remaining projects range from a variety of children's novels from the fantastical to the downright silly, to my next venture into YA fantasy, and to the creation of an adult suspense/mystery series with a strong and interesting male character.  I have written the first page of more books than I can count without taking off my shoes!

--If a fairy godmother told you your life could be like a favorite book for 24 hours, which book would you pick and why?
I have lived in so many different worlds in my mind that I feel like I am trying to choose my favorite child.  (Not that I have kids yet, but if I did, ya know what I mean?)  There are great series like Tomorrow When the War Began, but although I live in Australia now, I would definitely steer clear of the Australia in that story—it is pretty much just a warzone.  Same goes for the post-apocalyptic country of Panem in the Hunger Games.  Although still dangerous, I might choose the monster-infested world in the Percy Jackson books.  That is, as long as I am a demigod offspring of one of the Greek gods!  Another good option would be Hogwarts.  Again, dangerous, but worth it to be able to use magic!

--Do you need anything to write (music, coffee, etc)? Are there any songs on your playlist- songs that inspired you or that were playing while you wrote?

I don’t need anything in particular to write (except my laptop, I guess, although I’m always jotting down notes and even whole sentences in my iPhone too), I generally have my iPod on when I’m writing because I tend to write in public places.  On the ferry to work, in a café at lunchtime, at the swimming pool: I write everywhere so I need music to block out the distractions. 

Good question about the songs.  The beginning of each part (each book has four parts) in the Evolution Trilogy, begins with a few bars from a song that relates to the chapter.  So I guess those would be the songs that inspired me.  They range from Lady Gaga to Pearl Jam to Bryan Adams.

--If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
This is a cool question for me because of the children’s series I’ve been working on which involves superpowers.  There are so many to choose from, but I think I’d go with teleporting, like the characters in the movie Jumper.  I love travelling, meaning seeing new places, not the act of getting there.  If I could avoid the airports—the security checks, bad plane food, lack of sleep and comfort—that would be awesome.  Plus, just imagine how much more time you’d have if you didn’t need to commute anywhere!!

--Besides writing, what do you like to do in your free time?
Writing…oh wait, you said, besides writing.  Number one is spending time with my wife, Adele.  We are soul mates in every sense and are happiest when we’re together.  We love to go to the beach, swim laps at the pool, play tennis, read on the daybed on our balcony, watch movies, or just hang out.  I wish I had more free time at the moment to do all of that, but working a full time job, writing, and promoting my published books has made free time quite scarce!

--Is there anything else you want to add or say to your readers?

While I don’t particularly enjoy promoting my books, I really enjoy connecting with my readers.  I do it via my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, LibraryThing, and Book Blogs.  See below for links to where you can find me at all of those places.  If you send me a message, I will respond.  (I take this promise more seriously than any other!)

Cover Reveal: Defiance by C.J. Redwine

Introducing DEFIANCE, coming this August!

Within the walls of Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city’s brutal leader, Rachel Adams has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father’s apprentice, Logan—the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father’s survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.
At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast. Inventor. As apprentice to the city’s top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor’s impulsive daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.
As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.

Booking through Thursday 2/23

Check out here for the question and to link up your post.

What do you look for when reading a book blog? Does the blogger have to read the same genre? Do you like reviews? Personal posts? Memes? Giveaways? What attracts you to a book blog?

Honestly, I visit book blogs the most because they have commented on my blog. 2nd most I visit because of giveaways. 3rd is when I am looking for reviews of a book I just finished to see what others thought after I wrote my review.
Otherwise: I prefer bloggers who have at least similar taste so I can see what they think about a book I'm on the fence about or I will try a book they rave about if I've dismissed for whatever reason.
Reviews and giveaways are the top thing that will keep me coming back to a blog besides those who visit me first, because I always try to return comments.

Booking through Thursday

Check out here for the question and to link up your post.

I'm doing the question from last week because I missed it and wanna answer.

Have you every written any fan-fiction? If yes, why and for which book(s)? If no, would you like to and for which books(s)?
For that matter, do you ever READ fan-fiction??

I have written a chapter for Vampire Academy when I was waiting on the last book to come out, but I didn't get into it.
I've read a lot of fanfiction, mostly for Twilight and some for Vampire Academy.

Some of my favorites:
Wide Awake
Only Human
In the blink of an Eye
Peonies

Most of this was before I got into book blogging so I didn't have a mountainous TBR shelf,and a great source to get more suggestions. But there were some great stories out there, but also some not so great ones as well.

What about you? Read or write or neither? Got any Twilight faves to share?

THE CONCLUSION TO ONE OF THE MOST TALKED-ABOUT NOVELS OF LAST YEAR
It’s been thirty-five weeks since twin sisters Harmony and Melody went their separate ways. And now their story has become irresistible: twins separated at birth, each due to deliver twins…on the same day!
Married to Ram and living in Goodside, Harmony spends her time trying to fit back into the community she once believed in. But she can’t forget about Jondoe, the guy she fell for under the strangest of circumstances.

The girls’ every move is analyzed by millions of fans eagerly counting down to “Double Double Due Date.” They’re two of the most powerful teen girls on the planet, and they could do only one thing to make them even more famous:
Tell the truth.

Bridger by Megan Curd

Ashlyn McVean doesn’t believe in fairy tales. That is, until Ashlyn is thrown into the crosshairs of grudges her grandmother created long ago. After finding out she is one of two people able to cross between faerie realms, Ashlyn is faced with trying to understand her abilities, along with navigating a new relationship with her boyfriend, Liam. As if being on a centuries old hit list and dealing with crazed pixies isn’t enough, her new abilities mean trouble for Liam. Knowing her new life puts everyone she loves in danger, Ashlyn must decide what’s most important in her life between friends, family, love, and ultimately, realms.
