Essence

Author: Lisa Ann O'Kane

Genre: YA Science Fiction/Dystopia

Release Date: June 3, 2014

Publisher: Strange Chemistry

Description:

Autumn escaped a cult, but now she realizes she's fallen into another.

Growing up in San Francisco’s Centrist Movement, sixteen year-old Autumn Grace has always believed emotions—adrenaline, endorphins, even happiness—drain your Essence and lead to an early death. But her younger brother’s passing and a run-in with a group of Outsiders casts her faith into question.

Ryder Stone, the sexy, rebellious leader of the Outsiders, claims Essence drain is nothing more than a Centrist scare tactic -- and he can prove it.

Autumn follows Ryder to his Community of adrenaline junkies and free spirits in Yosemite National Park, and they introduce her to a life of adventure, romance, sex, drugs and freedom. But as she discovers dark secrets beneath the Community’s perfect exterior, she realizes the more she risks in search of the perfect rush, the further she has to fall.  

I am a very visual person, so I have spent a lot of time thinking about my characters’ appearances. I haven’t picked celebrity doppelgängers for everyone, but I definitely have a short-list of actors and actresses I think would be perfect for my dream ESSENCE cast:

Under Nameless Stars Blog Tour: Interview + Giveaway

Welcome to my stop on the Under Nameless Stars blog tour hosted by Strange Chemistry! Today I have an interview with the author to share with you and don't forget to enter the giveaway at the end of the post!

Under Nameless Stars (Zenn Scarlett #2)

Author: Christian Schoon

Genre: YA Science Fiction

Release Date: April 1, 2014

Publisher: Strange Chemistry

Description:

Zenn Scarlett’s novice year of exoveterinarian training on Mars isn’t quite going to plan…

After barely surviving a plot to destroy her school and its menagerie of alien patients, could things at the Ciscan cloister get any worse? Yes. Yes they could: Zenn’s absent father Warra Scarlett has suddenly ceased all communication with her. Desperate to learn what’s become of him, Zenn stows away aboard the Helen of Troy, a starliner powered by one of the immense, dimension-jumping beasts known as Indra.

With her is Liam Tucker, a towner boy who is either very fond of her, very dangerous to her, or both. On the verge of learning the truth about her dad, Zenn’s quest suddenly catapults her and Liam thousands of light years beyond known space, and into the dark heart of a monstrous conspiracy. Braving a gauntlet of lethal environments and unearthly life forms, her courage and exovet skills will now be tested as never before.

With the fate of entire worlds hanging in the balance, Zenn is racing headlong into trouble… again. 

Hi and a big authory thanks to Steph for hosting this stop on the blog-tour-a-palooza for Under Nameless Stars. Zenn and I appreciate! 

1. What inspired you to write the Zenn Scarlett series?

The main push for writing Zenn’s adventures as an exoveterinarian learning to care for alien life forms boils down to my own deep, some would say obsessive, interest in and affection for animals. Combine this with a profoundly geeked-out-since-grade-school relationship with all things science fictional and Bob, as they say, is your uncle. (Anybody out there know the origin of this phrase? Please leave your wisdom in comments. Thank you.) 

2. What special research did you have to do for the books?

A lot of the tech/exobiologic/astro/med detail in the books was flotsam drifting around in my head where, when I wasn’t writing, it generally cluttered things up and posed a hazard to navigation. This isn’t because I’m particularly bright or have a photographic memory or anything. It’s just ‘cause I read lots of books on these topics and retained the odd bits that appealed to my neurons’ magpie sensibilities. Plus, I posed as a reporter for a med school newspaper while working my way through college for a few semesters. And since I find all things relating to the workings of human and non-human bodies gobsmackingly interesting, I soaked up even more might-come-in-useful-later stuff that way. When I hit plot points that needed more finesse than I could easily retrieve from the wet-data-banks, I either made things up out of whole cloth and tried to put a credible gloss on the passage, or I did what all writers do and typed “wiki” in front of the applicable search term.

3. Are any of the characters based off of yourself or people you know?

I’ve fostered and/or helped rehab a variety of domestic and wild animals here on our farm or at the animal shelters my wife and I volunteer at. A partial list of these critters would include horses, burros, donkeys, black bears, mountain lions, Burmese pythons, alligators, caiman, rattlesnakes, cobras, copperheads, iguanas, emus, pigs, dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, ferrets... I could go on. So, I’ve spent a fair amount of time getting my hands pleasantly dirty with a bunch of totally awesome veterinarians. It’s safe to say that Zenn is an amalgam of these amazing professionals, especially our personal vet. This woman does things like anesthetize a full-grown cougar about to escape from its carrier, or plunge her hands into a pile of leaves to grab a venomous water moccasin. You know, superhero stuff. I think Zenn gets a lot of her fearless devotion to healing huge, dangerous alien animals from our Dr. Jenni.

4. What can we expect in the upcoming books?

Well, I’m the kind of author who’s reluctant to talk too much about forthcoming projects ‘cause I’m weirdly superstitious about having my ideas lose their mojo if they’re prematurely exposed to the open air. I can say Zenn might well be headed for the Kiran planetary nature preserves where the native races build their palaces and villages on the backs of 1,500-foot-wide air-borne Kiran Sunkillers.

5. Was there a specific person or experience that made you want to become a writer?

My mom and my older sister were both English teachers. Nuff said?

6. What's up next for you?

I’m fleshing out a pitch/series bible for an animated steampunk TV adventure show, and there’s a monster-packed new book that’s gnashing its fangs and attempting to chew its way out of my frontal cortex and onto the page. So, Zenn’s next outing is currently fighting these two projects and trying to smother a few others in their cribs to see who gets to be a Real Life Thing next. I guess we’ll see who wins.

Anyway, that’s my story so far. Thanks again for having me here on the blog. And I encourage all your Dreamers to enter the Strange Chemistry contest. I mean hey, free books – and the Name A Star deal is pretty fun. Cheers!

Stolen Songbird Blog Tour: Author Guest Post

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen! Read on for more info on the book and a fantastic guest post by the author! Don't forget to come back soon to read my review of the book!

Stolen Songbird (The Malediction Trilogy #1)

Author: Danielle L. Jensen

Genre: YA Fantasy

Release Date: April 1, 2014

Publisher: Strange Chemistry

Description:

For those who have loved Seraphina and Graceling comes another truly fabulous fantasy...

For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain. Time enough for their dark and nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. But a prophesy has been spoken of a union with the power to set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth of the trolls than she could have imagined.

Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. Only the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.

But something unexpected happens while she’s waiting – she begins to fall for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. She begins to make friends. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods – part troll, part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. There is a rebellion brewing. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.

As Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer’s daughter. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch with magic powerful enough to change Trollus forever. 

Praise for Stolen Songbird:

"If you’re looking for a YA fantasy full of magic and mystery and intrigue and romance and wonderful, heartfelt characters that you could easily accept to be trapped under a mountain with, then don’t just read Stolen Songbird—inhale it. Deliciously written in two POVs that are deep and personal and completely intertwined with one another, this book is at once like hot chocolate on a rainy day with a cat on your lap, and a shot of something wicked when you’re feeling wired. There’s nothing I even remotely disliked, and a list as long as most Welsh train station names of things I loved. Stolen Songbird was a dream to read, a dream to adventure through, and a nightmare to leave. I didn’t want to wake up—and neither will you." Jet Black Ink
 
"Stolen Songbird is a must-read.  It doesn’t come out until April 1, but you had better pre-order a copy right now if you find this book even remotely interesting.  Just like me you’ll also want the rest of The Malediction Trilogy to come out this instant as well.  I can’t wait for book two! I give this book 5/5 stars." The Mad Reviewer
 
"If you love fantasies, romance, and political intrigue, then you really need to add this book to your wishlist and tell all your friends you want it for your birthday, because Oh my gosh, it is my new favorite book of this year." Book Marks the Spot
 
"There are too many good things about Stolen Songbird for me to list them all. Suffice it to say that I didn’t want this book to end, I didn’t want to have to leave the cast and Trollus behind. Tristan and Cécile will certainly be a pair that I look forward to returning to, and book two of the Malediction trilogy is already on my list of anticipated reads for next year whilst Stolen Songbird has already set a very high bar for any book to top it as my favourite book of the year." The Serpent's Quill

Top Ten Favourite YA Novels

My favourite books are not necessarily those I found most exciting or those that kept me up into the wee hours of the morning. For me, a book becomes a favourite when its characters and story stick in my head long after I’ve put the book down and I find myself thinking about them months and even years later. In no particular order, here are my top ten favourite YA novels.  

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

It’s no secret that I adore Maggie Stiefvater, and this novel is my favourite of all her works. Her writing is beautiful, but what captivates me most about this book is the boys and their friendship. They are unique and interesting, and I found their personalities so vividly characterized that they all but walked off the page.   

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

The romance between Will and Tessa is my favourite out of all the YA books I’ve ever read. I was incredibly emotionally invested in the plot arc of that relationship, and I may have shed a tear or two at the end of Clockwork Princess.

Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

The thing I loved the best about this novel was the world building, which is a bit strange to say given that it technically takes place in our world. I was captivated by how the addition of one fantastical element – the water horses – made it feel like the story took place in an alternate world.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

I read this book while lounging in the sun on a cruise ship and I could not pry myself away from it. I found it exciting and dynamic, and while I didn’t always like Tris, I always respected her. And Four is definitely in the top 5 on my book boyfriend list.

Sabriel by Garth Nix

Sabriel is one of my favourite heroines. She’s clever, gutsy, and pragmatic, and I was actually quite disappointed that the subsequent books didn’t star her.

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

Dragons! Do I need another reason to love it? OK, I also loved the complex political intrigue. This book is definitely one of the most intelligent  I’ve read in a long time.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson

I really liked how religion was a central focus of this novel, and how its Middle Eastern feel made it different from most other fantasies.

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

I love this book for two reasons. The first is that it has one of the most powerful and compelling female friendships I’ve ever read. The second is that it ripped my heart into little bits and made me cry. This book is a work of art.

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

I love long historical novels so much, and this one is just perfect. Political intrigue, assassin nuns, romance, and action – this book has it all.

The Dead Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

I love zombies, so naturally I adored this trilogy, but I liked this volume the best. The scene where Gabry crosses the bridge over the sea of zombies is permanently lodged in my brain. There were a lot of unknowns at the end of this trilogy, which would normally annoy me, but for some reason really worked for these books. I still wonder how things turned out. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your favorite YA books with us Danielle!

 

Danielle was born and raised in Calgary, Canada. At the insistence of the left side of her brain, she graduated in 2003 from the University of Calgary with a bachelor’s degree in finance. But the right side of her brain has ever been mutinous; and in 2010, it sent her back to school to complete an entirely impractical English literature degree at Mount Royal University and to pursue publication. Much to her satisfaction, the right side shows no sign of relinquishing its domination. (Taken from Goodreads)

The Woken Gods Blog Tour: Guest Post

Welcome to my stop on The Woken Gods blog tour! Today I have an awesome guest post by the author to share with you!

The Woken Gods

Author: Gwenda Bond

Genre: YA Fantasy/Mythology

Release Date: September 3, 2013

Publisher: Strange Chemistry

Description:

The more things change…

Five years ago, the gods of ancient mythology awoke all around the world.

The more things stay the same…

This morning, Kyra Locke is late for school because of an argument with her father.

Seventeen-year-old Kyra lives in a transformed Washington, D.C., dominated by the embassies of divine pantheons and watched over by the mysterious Society of the Sun that governs mankind’s relations with the gods. But when rebellious Kyra encounters two trickster gods on her way home, one offering a threat and the other a warning, it turns out her life isn't what it seems. She escapes with the aid of Osborne "Oz" Spencer, a young Society field operative, only to discover that her scholar father has disappeared with a dangerous Egyptian relic. The Society needs the item back, and they aren’t interested in her protests that she knows nothing about it or her father's secrets.

Now Kyra must depend on her wits and the suspect help of scary Sumerian gods, her estranged oracle mother, and, of course, Oz--whose first allegiance is to the Society. She has no choice if she’s going to recover the missing relic and save her father. And if she doesn't? Well, that may just mean the end of the world as she knows it. From the author of Blackwood comes a fresh, thrilling urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan.  

My thanks for the invite and being into a slightly different kind of guest post. Because THE WOKEN GODS is set in Washington, D.C., but a version that's been transformed by the gods' awakening, and particularly by the presence of the human Society of the Sun and the seven tricksters whose embassies are located there, I thought it would be fun to do a few posts spotlighting some of the real-life locales and how they changed in the book. Especially since I have lots of photos from my research trips there.

In this post, I'm going to take you a small tour of a few spots that feature prominently in the book at various times--including my favorite, the Library of Congress's Jefferson Building. Almost as soon as I decided to write a book about ancient gods in D.C., I knew I would have a no-longer-secret society and I knew I wanted them to be headquartered at the Library of Congress. (Fun fact: All the Society main offices around the world are located in libraries. They have all the knowledge, don't they?)
And, of course, no book set in D.C. would be complete without visiting the Mall and other landmarks. Without further ado, some photos, with relevant excerpts from the book...




I reach the platform that houses the Academy's enormous bronze statue of Albert Einstein. He sits on a trio of steps, a sheaf of papers in one hand, looking a little thoughtful, a little sad. This was always the spot where Dad and I stopped to rest on runs.

 

We stop across the street, in front of the Library's main building. The front fountain is off, but water pools around the dark statue of Neptune. He's flanked by Tritons blowing into conch shells, calling the court of the sea. The Jefferson Building looms above us, covered in statues and busts and stone flouishes. Three arched entrances wait like dark mouths at the top of the stairs.



There had been a Society outpost here since it was built apparently, and when they announced they were taking over, that made sense. All those painted and sculpted gods everywhere, all those books full of hidden logic and forgotten knowledge. Conspiracy theorists had a field day.



Stained glass squares of blue and gold stretch high overhead. Rows of electric lights shine around windows on the upper levels. Marble stairways curve opposite one another, bronze ladies thrusting globe lights into the air at their bottoms. There's the great brass sun in the middle of the floor. I used to lay on it right before closing sometimes, Dad calling out the astrological signs marked out around me, telling me I was at the center of the universe.



And, finally, here's me at the Smithsonian's carousel -- if you want to know how it appears in the book, well, you'll have to read it. Thanks for letting me take you on a tour of THE WOKEN GODS D.C.!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and taking us on a virtual tour of D.C. Gwenda!

When the World Was Flat (and We Were in Love) Blog Tour: Guest Post & Giveaway

 

Welcome to the official blog tour for When the World Was Flat (And We Were in Love)! I'm excited to have the author, Ingrid Jonach, here today for a guest post and don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the post to enter the tour wide giveaway! Also - I just finished reading the book and I'm WAY too emotional and unable to form words for how I feel about it to write anything substantial to do it justice. Be sure to check back soon for my review!!

When the World Was Flat (And We Were in Love)

Author: Ingrid Jonach

Genre: YA Science Fiction/Fantasy /Romance

Release Date: September 3, 2013 (US/CAN) and September 5, 2013 Worldwide

Publisher: Strange Chemistry

Description:

Looking back, I wonder if I had an inkling that my life was about to go from ordinary to extraordinary.

When sixteen-year-old Lillie Hart meets the gorgeous and mysterious Tom Windsor-Smith for the first time, it’s like fireworks — for her, anyway. Tom looks as if he would be more interested in watching paint dry; as if he is bored by her and by her small Nebraskan town in general.

But as Lillie begins to break down the walls of his seemingly impenetrable exterior, she starts to suspect that he holds the answers to her reoccurring nightmares and to the impossible memories which keep bubbling to the surface of her mind — memories of the two of them, together and in love.

When she at last learns the truth about their connection, Lillie discovers that Tom has been hiding an earth-shattering secret; a secret that is bigger — and much more terrifying and beautiful — than the both of them. She also discovers that once you finally understand that the world is round, there is no way to make it flat again.

An epic and deeply original sci-fi romance, taking inspiration from Albert Einstein’s theories and the world-bending wonder of true love itself.  

Tipping Your Hat To Other Artists, a.k.a. Intertextuality 

I am really excited to be stopping by A Dream within A Dream as part of my Around the World in 80 Days Blog Tour, because the title of this blog is actually connected to my debut YA novel When the World was Flat (and we were in love)! 

I have previous posted on intertextuality by imitation, but this post is about intertextuality by quotation. I have read a thousand (probably not an exaggeration) books which directly or indirectly reference other books, poetry, films, paintings, songs, etc. A lot of books also include an epigraph to capitalize on prior understanding of a text, including its themes.

Bible passages tend to be popular (I am using one in my current WIP!). Stephanie Meyer used a quote from Genesis in Twilight to foreshadow the forbidden relationship between Bella and Edward:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 

thou shalt not eat of it: 

for in the day that thou eatest thereof, 

thou shalt surely die. 

Meanwhile, the epigraph Mary Shelley selected for Frankenstein gives me goosebumps!

Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay 

To mould me Man, did I solicit thee 

From darkness to promote me? 

I think this quote from Paradise Lost really sums up how the monster feels towards Dr. Frankenstein. 

F. Scott Fitzgerald not only used intertextuality in his epigraph for The Great Gatsby, but metafiction, as his epigraph quotes his own fictional character Thomas Parke D’Invilliers: 

Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;

If you can bounce high, bounce for her too

Till she cry, “Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,

I must have you!"

My epigraph for When the World was Flat (and we were in love) is not from another work of fiction, but instead quotes Albert Einstein: Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. However, there are a number of references to other texts within the novel, including:

A Dream Within A Dream – Edgar Allan Poe
I have loved this poem since my childhood and when it came time to decide upon the first words of a certain character (I am not going to say who!), I realized the final words of this poem were perfect on so many levels.

Excerpt from A Dream Within A Dream:

Take this kiss upon the brow! 

And, in parting from you now 

Thus much let me avow 

You are not wrong, who deem 

That my days have been a dream

Yet if hope has flown away 

In a night, or in a day, 

In a vision, or in none, 

Is it therefore the less gone? 

All that we see or seem 

Is but a dream within a dream. 

Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen

I credit this novel for inspiring When the World was Flat (and we were in love). In the novel my main character Lillie likens Tom to Mr. Darcy and his home to Pemberley.

Excerpt from When the World was Flat (and we were in love):

Tom paused when he saw us and, in that moment, he looked like some kind of modern day Mr Darcy on the steps of Pemberley. I frowned. When had I read Pride and Prejudice? Jo was the bookworm. Maybe I had seen the movie. I think it starred Colin Firth. And maybe Keira Knightly? Or was that the BBC series?


Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll

This is one of my all time favorite children’s books and I jumped at the opportunity to reference it a couple of times in When the World was Flat (and we were in love).

The concept of going down a rabbit hole or through a looking glass is very much aligned with my story.

Here is the non-spoilerish reference from When the World was Flat (and we were in love):

I dropped my camera and heard it clatter on the sidewalk, its lens shattering. But the sound was distant, as if it had fallen down a deep well or down a rabbit hole, like in Alice in Wonderland. The blare of music through the open doors of the record store became muted, as did the roar of cars up Main Street, full of college guys doing laps during their summer break. All I could hear was the rush of blood in my ears, like static from a TV.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Truman Capote

Holly Golightly famously says, “Cross your heart and kiss your elbow,” which I use to show the change in a character (again, I am not going to tell you who due to spoilers!).

Excerpt from When the World was Flat (and we were in love):

“Are you… OK?” I asked, as we walked down the driveway.
“Fine.”
I bit my lip. “Cross your heart?”
“And hope to die.”
Wrong answer. 


I also referenced Shakespeare and The Road not Taken by Robert Frost in When the World was Flat (and we were in love), as well as a range of musicals like Oliver, Chicago and Singing in the Rain. 

There is also some metafiction in When the World was Flat (and we were in love), as the characters talk about an information booklet that I really want to write
(again, I am not going to give details due to spoilers, but it relates to something in the novel called the Evacuation).

But metafiction is a whole other post! 

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and talking about some of your inspirations while writing your novel Ingrid! I especially love the nod to Edgar Allan Poe's poem, since it is the name of my blog! :)

Ingrid Jonach writes books for children and young adults, including the chapter books The Frank Frankie and Frankie goes to France published by Pan Macmillan, and When the World was Flat (and we were in love) published by Strange Chemistry.

Since graduating from university with a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing (Hons) in 2005, Ingrid has worked as a journalist and in public relations, as well as for the Australian Government.
