The day I was born, a single red apple grew on a juniper tree in our castle's garden. A Blood Apple. It was a rare fruit; the most sought after in Europe at the time. An apple of unmatched sweetness and unearthly ripeness. Some claimed it could cure the sick and enrich the poor, grant children to the sterile, and keep the soul guarded from demonic possessions. Its rarity and taste made it comparable with gold and diamonds, if they were edible. There was a well-known saying: "A Blood Apple a day keeps all Sorrow away." Few people knew why the word "sorrow" had always been capitalized in this sentence. I learned why many years later. Sweetest Temptations by J.C.

“That might be wise. Emotions can overwhelm.” His words were perfectly normal, but his tone made me shiver with a strange sense of anticipation. Somehow, I had the feeling we weren’t talking about paintings anymore. The sound of a chair scraping back from the table reached me, and I held perfectly still, wondering what he was going to do. After what felt like the longest moment imaginable, I felt Ross’s light touch travel from my forehead to my cheek, and from there down to my neck. My bare skin tingled under his touch, and I suppressed a shudder of excitement. “You see,” he whispered very close to me, “emotions can be overwhelming. Would you rather look at a painting?” He put both hands on my face, cupping it gently between his palms. Wordlessly, I shook my head. There’s no painting that could capture this. Our breath mingled together for an instant, and then his soft lips met mine, and I inhaled sharply in surprise. I felt like I was drowning, overwhelmed by the sensual experience: the feel of his lips against mine, the strange sensation of our mingled breath, the faint scent of cinnamon that filled my nostrils, all of it combined to make my head spin. My first kiss was over before I could think, and I blinked stupidly, hoping that I’d done it right. “That was,” Ross paused, his face still close enough to me that I felt the warm intake of his breath, “beautiful.” “Thank you,” I whispered, closing my eyes. He chuckled. “Should we try it again?” “Was it bad the first time?” I blurted out. He cupped my face again. “It was so exquisite,” he whispered, kissing the tip of my nose, “that I want more. I will gladly kiss you forever, Mya.” My heart thudded in my ears, and I flushed. Before I could think of a response, our lips met again, and I melted against him, surrendering to the darkness and his touch. A themed tour with Prism Book Tours. We're blitzing the GRAND FINALE for Parched By Georgia Clark Robots, renewable resources, and romance get tangled together in this thrilling futuristic adventure novel about a utopian city struggling to keep its peace. Did you miss any of this tour? Go back and check out what you missed... Launch - More About the Author and Parched What do you hope readers take with them when they read your book? Parched is about a girl who joins a rebel underground group to fight for what she believes in. I hope this book inspires readers to do the same. Hope To Read - Tech Speak: The New Technologies of Parched One of the most fun parts of writing a sci-fi is getting to invent cool new technologies. Here’s a few of my favorites from my new novel Parched, and where their inspiration came from. Book N Blog - Review "Parched by Georgia Clark was an enjoyable and interesting read that gets you thinking about big brother, world domination and what will happen when AI becomes a reality." Kelly P's Blog - Interview Who is your favorite character in your book and why?Ooh, hard question. I love them all! Coffee Books & Art - Interview Did you do any kind of research to determine the details of your characters lives / lifestyles?I did a ridiculous amount of research! I interviewed experts I tracked down online, subscribed science-y magazines, read articles, listened to podcasts. A lot of podcasts, specifically, Robots and Singularity 1 on 1. Book-Marks the Spot - Review "This book was intense. There was always something happening and I felt that if I blinked I was going to miss something. . . . Parched was dynamic, mind boggling, and just outright good. It is definitely worth the read." The Written Adventure - Interview Where did you get the idea for Tess?Tess is a combination of me, some of my friends, and other YA heroines. I love creating spunky female characters who are brave, but flawed, who are active, emotional but not just boy-crazy. Tess is not a girly-girl, and neither am I. Mel's Shelves - Review "There were some twists, turns and surprising revelations and Tess needed to figure out who she could trust. Once I got involved, I had to keep reading to find out what would happen next. If you enjoy dystopian Sci-Fi, this is a book you will want to check out!" I Am A Reader - Introduction to the world of Parched Welcome to the world of Parched: a rollercoaster ride of robots, rebels and romance, of secrets, impossible choices, and a fight for freedom, all in a domed city and a sprawling desert… Katy's Krazy Books - Review "Upon starting to read it, I found that I just kept wanting to read and read and read. Nothing could distract me from wanting to find out what was going to happen to Tess next." Welcome to Book City - Review "I'm quite impressed by this book. . . . I was suddenly spending my last hours awake reading it." Colorimetry - Three lady memoirs I’m loving How To Be A Woman, by Caitlin MoranWarning: Do not start listening to this book unless you’re prepared to have your internal monologue hi-jacked by a Brit. It’s driving me literally balmy! It’s a testament to Caitlin’s distinctive voice as a writer that I’m able to channel her so successfully. My Life Loves and Passion - Review "Even though I am not a huge fan of robots, I felt like this was such a good story. Plus how many sci fi/YA/romance stories are out there that are this awesome!" 100 Pages A Day - Recommended YA Reads Having to select your favorite books is like having to select your favourite cake: impossible! They’re all so good! But I bit the bullet and tried to whittle them down. Best enjoyed over a slice of salted caramel something… Typical Distractions - Review "Parched is exactly what I expected and nothing like I expected. You will enter a world of robots, choices, and the chance to do what is right no matter the cost. It is true to the YA Dysotopian genre but with a spin all it’s own." Literally Jen - Review "After I finished reading Parched, all I could think was “wow.” There is so much to take in here, between the richly thought-out world, the customs of each society, and the intricate relationships between all of the characters." Lilac Reviews - Meet Tessendra "Tess" Rockwood with Dream Cast Following her mother’s murder, Tess fled her safe and easy life in the domed city of Eden to spend an aimless year in the rough ‘n’ ready Badlands. Here she changed her name, taught herself the local dialect Malspeak, and learned to hunt, protect herself and survive on her own. Wishful Endings - Meet Hunter Adams with Dream Cast Tess is first introduced to Hunter when she returns to her home of Eden—a lush, technically advanced and socially conscious city that thrives under a clear dome—after spending a year in the rough ‘n’ ready Badlands. He’s her uncle’s teaching assistant, socially awkward if thoughtful: ‘his curious, darting eyes seem to exude intelligence’. Deal Sharing Aunt - Review "I just finished reading Parched and I liked it very much. Anyone who loves to read about a future world with robots and some romance mixed in will like this book. I thought the storyline was good and I liked the action." Beck Valley Books - Interview Can you tell me more about the book beyond what it listed on the back cover and what inspired you to write it?I grew up watching great sci-fi movies like Bladerunner and Star Wars and have always been attracted to the genre: equal parts exciting/fun and thoughtful/insightful. I loved The Hunger Games and felt inspired to write something of that ilk: a young girl in a brave new world, fighting for what she believes in. Tess’ first-person, present-tense voice lends chilling immediacy to her no-nonsense story of mixed loyalty, disturbing secrets, and ethical dilemmas associated with diminishing natural resources and scientific experimentation.

I could tell you what I like, where I was born, and what my favorite things are.But instead, I'll say I don't want to write like everyone else.

I want to break the rules. I want you to break out in a cold sweat as you read my books out of fear, love, and excitement. I want my books to be an experience. When you finish, I want you to feel something. Good or bad. If you do, then I'll have succeeded. If not, I'll keep trying.

Delaney Genre: New Adult Can everlasting love grow amidst never-ending despair? Best friends Justin and Haylee learn early on that the answer is yes. Their parents would rather spend time drinking and partying than raising children, so the two rely on each other for the care and emotional support they need. Over time, Justin and Haylee become lovers despite the age difference between them. Theirs is a forbidden romance that would destroy them both if discovered. The older of the two, Justin is more than a little rough around the edges. He does everything he can to protect Haylee from as much abuse as possible, but when tragedy strikes there is nothing he can to do keep her from being taken into the foster system. The system meant to save kids threatens to pull the two of them apart. Haylee begs Justin to run away with her, but the powers-that-be force him into an inescapable corner. Blaming Justin for the distance that separates them, Haylee shuts out everything and everyone from her past - including Justin. She tries to forget him. She tries to replace him. But he is always there. So is her own addiction. When it finally gets the best of her, she finds herself utterly alone. She soon discovers what Justin has always known: Their love was worth waiting for. About the Author Lucy H.

The only thing I didn't like about my aunt after I got to know her was that she looked so much like my mom. I wanted her to have a face that was all her own. It was easier to look past it on good days—and we had lots of good days—but on the bad days all I could see was my mom, and I would take it out on her. She was single and probably could have been called a spinster except that she had been married four times. “Never took,” she told me once, smiling, over dinner at a restaurant in town. We rarely ate at home. Aunt Aerin wasn't rich like I imagined her to be, but she lived comfortably. She admitted to being “well-off” but certainly not rich; it was just that she was single for ten years before she took me in, so she had a lot saved up. She took the money the state gave her for me—every single dime of it, until she officially became my adopted aunt-mom—and put it into a college fund. |
