Rebel Reads

Amy and I are back at it…check out our latest Rebel Reads! (And yes, I did have to reread and paraphrase the back cover copy for UNWIND by Neal Shusterman, determining after several takes that it’s a darn hard book to talk about, given the issues involved, but excessively well worth reading.  Also, it’s aContinue reading “Rebel Reads”

THE WOLF SIREN by Karen Whiddon

Since I started yesterday’s post with a note about how Lynn Flewelling and I met, I thought I’d start today off with the same about Karen Whiddon.  Karen and I met years ago at a writing conference, which ties in perfectly with the piece I did for our recent Knight Agency newsletter.  (I believe itContinue reading “THE WOLF SIREN by Karen Whiddon”

YA Rebels interview with Alethea Kontis

You all may know Alethea Kontis already (or Princess Alethea as she’s sometimes called).  If not, I don’t know what you’re waiting for.  She and her books are just lovely, and the author herself is the very definition of gracious!  But you don’t have to take my word for it.  You can see for yourselfContinue reading “YA Rebels interview with Alethea Kontis”
