True Review

For my stop on the blog tour for Gretchen McNeil's debut, Possess, I got to interview the main character, Bridget. Interviewing a character from a book is much different than interivewing an author, but I asked some questions will hopefully give you all the opportunity to get to know Bridget's character better! *** Getting to know: Bridget Describe yourself using the letters of your name (example b for beautiful etc..)? Ballsty Resourceful Independent Disinterested Guarded Edgy Torn Who was the last person you sent a text message to and what does it say? I texted my best friend Hector. He sent me a photo of this barista he’s crushing on, and asked my opinion. I told him it looked suspiciously like our friend Brad. You are stuck on a deserted island, and have three of your personal possessions with you. What are they and what is their importance? My charm bracelet. I never take it off. My dad gave it to me for my first communion. It’s one of the few ...

As part of the blog tour for the upcoming Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep, I got to ask Jennifer a few questions for the blog. Please welcome Jennifer! *** Greetings and salutations!

Plus, there are so many elements that go into writing YA – capturing your heroine’s journey, finding her voice, showing her growing up, world building, even developing a romance....

I'd like to welcome Joelle Anthony, author of Restoring Harmony, to Flipping Pages! I got to ask Joelle a question about her work, so here it is! *** Flipping Pages for All Ages: Restoring Harmony reads like a contemporary YA mixed with a Dystopia YA. Was it your intention to create the feel of both genres in the book?

Dystopian is an interesting label for RH. I’m not sure it fits exactly. If you look up the definition, then in actually does fall into that category, but most people who love dystopian have ...
