CASSASTORM ...
A storm gathers across the galaxy…
As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron’s ideal life is
threatened
and he’s caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.
After enemy ships attack the desert planet,
Byron discovers another battle within his
own family.
The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in
his son,
shaking Bassan to the core
and threatening to destroy the boy’s mind.
Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that
might
signal the end of all life in the galaxy.
And the mysterious probe that almost
destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could be on its way back.
As his world begins
to crumble, Byron suspects a connection.
The storm is about to break, and Byron
is caught in the middle…

BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
How TWILIGHT should have been written
Enter this world at your own risk.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
Amazon Exclusive Interview with Kami Garcia and
Margaret Stohl, Authors of Beautiful Creatures
What
does your writing process look like? Is it tough to write a book together? Did
you ever have any knock-down drag-out fights over a plot point or character
trait?
Margie: The best way to describe our writing process is like a running
stitch.
We don't write separate chapters, or characters.
We pass the draft back
and forth constantly, and we actually write over each other's work,
until we get
to the point where we truly don't know who has written what.
Kami: By the end of the book, we don't even know. The classic example is when
I said, "Marg, I really hate that line. It has to go."
And she said, "Cut it.
You wrote it."
Margie: I think we were friends for so long before we were writing partners
that there was an unusual amount of trust from the start.
Kami: It's about respect. And it helps that we can't remember when who wrote
the bad line.
THE AUDIOBOOK IS ONE OF A KIND:
There is music playing for the 16 moons song with a haunting voice.
There are the sounds of storms, gun shots, screams.
It is told through the eyes of Ethan,
the male protagonist, for once.
It is a book you live.
If you want non-stop action, fast cars, and hot girls.
This is not for you.
If you want a world in which to become lost
and which will haunt you even when you put it down,
READ BEAUTIFUL CREATURES.
Can't remember who wrote what - that's probably a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cover reveal, Roland. You the man!
Beautiful Creatures sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteLove Alex's cover art!!
i just won a beautiful creatures giveaway from the movie company... now i will be cool with my tattoos and lip gloss. i will be the talk of the town, sadly.
ReplyDeletealex, great cover!
Like the cover for Alex's book, and by September, I might be ready to read a new scifi novel. Now I want to know the connection. . .
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm wondering if Byron's son has special powers?
Never read Twilight. It's not my brand of entertainment.
I love Alex's cover! Congrats Alex!
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't be happier for Kami and Margaret. Gosh, to think I knew them before. ;)

Hi, Roland,

Alex:
ReplyDeleteNot remembering probably saved the friendship! Glad to showcase your new book's cover! :-)
Trisha:
I am truly enjoying listening to the audiobook of BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. Now, I'm afraid to see the movie lest it not do the novel justice.
Isn't the cover art of Alex's new book something?
Jeremy:
I won Lena's Prom dress! If it had come with the actress portraying Lena in it that would have been a prize! LOL/
Alex is the man, all right.
D.G.:
I couldn't get past the first paragraphs of TWILIGHT'S free sample chapter. BEAUTIFUL CREATURES is a supernatural TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD -- think TWILIGHT written by William Faulkner.
I hope you can read Alex's new book! I plan to.
Heather:
I could swear I knew Kami from my first days blogging, but my mind is fatigued from 12 days straight of working and 7 more to go! Ouch.
Misha:
This is quite an honor. Thanks!
Michael:
I don't know if you will like the film since I have not seen it, but I can guarantee you that you will like the audiobook.
Kityt:
Yes, Hooray for Capt. Alex! I smiled when I read the entire interview. Have a lovely weekend, Roland
