• Enigma (Schrodinger’s Consortium #2)


    Hey, everyone. My friend, Tonya Kuper, has another book coming out this July 2017.
    It’s the second in the Schrodinger’s Consortium series. Book one is called Anomaly

    Run on over Amazon and grab that awesome book so you’re ready for book 2!

    Here’s the scoop on Enigma (Schrodinger’s Consortium #2)
    Worst. Road Trip. Ever.

    Escaping with Reid Wentworth should have been fun, but how can I enjoy it when I just (accidentally) killed someone, my mom and brother are in danger, and the Consortium is trying to enslave humanity? (Yeah, they aren’t fooling around.)So feeling something for Reid Wentworth was not part of the plan. Trying to help unite the Resistance against the Consortium means I can’t be distracted by hot boys.

    The Resistance secret hideout isn’t exactly the rebel base of my dreams. Atraitor there wants me dead, but we have no idea who it is. And with both the Resistance and the Consortium trying to control me, the only one I can trust is Reid. If we’re going to have any chance of protecting my family, controlling my unstable powers, and surviving the clash between the Oculi factions, I’m going to have to catch this traitor. By using myself as bait.

    Author Scoop:
    Tonya Kuper writes young adult science fiction and contemporary novels. She first fell in love with reading in elementary school, which eventually lead to earning a BA in Elementary Education and a MS in Reading Education, but she never thought she’d write a novel, let alone several. When Tonya isn’t writing, she teaches Young Adult Literature Writing Workshop at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, laughs as much as possible, loves music, and nerds-out over Star Wars, Marvel, Sherlock, and all things pop-culture. She lives in Omaha, NE with her husband and two rad boys.

  • A Blind Guide to Normal


    Beth Vrabel’s new middle grade book is here. Have you checked it out yet? I just love her writing.

    Go…no run…to your bookstore to get this awesome gem!

    Richie “Ryder” Raymond has a gift. He can find the punchline in any situation, even in his limited vision and prosthetic eye. During the past year at Addison School for the Blind, Ryder’s quick wit earned the respect and friendship of his classmates. Heading to mainstream, or “normal,” school for eighth grade is going to be awesome.

    After all, what’s not to like? At Addison, Ryder was everyone’s favorite person. He could make anyone laugh, especially his best friend Alice. So long as he can be first to make all of the one-eyed jokes, Ryder is sure he’ll fit in just as quick at Papuaville Middle School, home of the Fighting Guinea Pigs. But Alice warns him fitting in might not be as easy as he thinks.

    Turns out, Alice was right. In just the first hour of “normal” school, Ryder is attacked by General MacCathur II (aka, Gramps’s cat), causes his bio teacher to pass out cold, makes an enemy out town hero Max, and falls for Jocelyn, the fierce girl next door who happens to be Max’s girlfriend. On top of that, Ryder struggles to hold onto his dignity in the face of students’ pity and Gramps’s non-stop practical jokes.

    Ryder quickly sees the only thing worse than explaining a joke is being the punchline. But with help from his stuck-in-the-70s Gramps and encouragement from Alice, Ryder finds the strength to not only fight back, but to make peace.

    He’s waited more than 900 years to love her…

    Being the Gatekeeper to Hades is no small feat, and waiting almost a millennia to meet your mate is damn near impossible. But Theo Bradford’s mark has finally surfaced on his intended. Now all he has to do is find her and convince her to embrace her supernatural heritage.

    Young genius, Sadie Nowland, has got life figured out. Graduating college at the age of eighteen and accepting a six-figure job is just what she needs to prove she’s made something of herself. But when a strange tattoo mysteriously appears on her shoulder and Theo starts talking about Mates, it catapults her neatly laid out life into chaos.

    Targeted by a vicious demon escaped from Hades, Sadie is thrust into the volatile world of Shomrei warriors and a connection to Theo her brain can’t comprehend and her body can’t deny. That primal bond proves more imperative to their survival than either could have ever imagined-and just may be the key to the world’s survival.

    [/stextbox]And it’s available here:Kindle US, Kindle UK, Kindle CA, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iBooks

    Excerpt

    Rain fell, not uncommon for late spring in Missouri. “If you don’t like the weather here,” my grandfather would say, “wait five minutes.” Of course, I’d visited distant relatives in Maine once before, and they said the same thing.

    Julie fumbled with the wipers while I pulled the sun visor down to check my face in its little rectangular mirror, even though I’d only left my vanity like five minutes ago. The lights on either side lit up the interior of the car. I reached into my tiny party purse to find my lip gloss, which was easy to locate since I’d only packed the essentials in my bag: phone, some cash, and make-up. As I glanced at myself, I saw Mike in the reflection, smiling at me from the back seat. I stuck my tongue out at him, making him laugh, and put on the lip-gloss, fully aware of how flirty I acted.

    The windshield wipers couldn’t keep up with the sudden downpour. The pitter-patter turned to thumping. Hail came down in gumball-sized pellets. “Damn.” Julie jerked the steering wheel to keep The Whale off the curb.

    “Slow down, Jules.” Mike gripped Julie’s headrest. “We can pull over until it passes.”

    “Yeah.” She squinted to see the road before her.

    I pressed my lips together to smooth out the gloss. “Damn is right. I didn’t bring a jacket.”

    The Whale swerved to the right crunching along the gravel on the side of the road. I braced myself in my seat. Julie leaned up to the steering wheel and peered over it as my grandmother sometimes did when she drove. I squinted because of the stupid light up visor mirror. I slammed it shut, but Julie panicked and over corrected, pulling The Whale to the left and careening over the yellow dotted line in the middle of the street.

    “Julie!” Mike shouted.

    Time slowed and ticked out in heartbeats.

    Ba bum.

    Julie cringed, her hands moving up to shield her face. Her head turned away from the highway.

    Ba bum.

    Mike reached protectively from the back seat.

    Ba bum.

    The headlights illuminated the rail of the overpass.

    Ba bum.

    The car hit the rail on the opposite side of the road with a hard thud.

    Ba bum.

    Crap. We’re going over the bridge.

    Ba bum.

    The Whale’s nose pointed down toward the water.

    Ba bum.

    A jolt forward and my forehead slammed into the dashboard.

    Ba bum.

    The Whale flipped in the air. I’m upside down.

    Ba bum.

    Pain.

    Ba bum.

    Did my mom say good-bye when I left?

    Ba bum.

    Cold water rushed into the car.

    Ba bum.

    Is this it?

    Ba bum.

    I can’t breathe. Oh my God, I can’t breathe. I can’t see or breathe!

    My heart quickened. It pounded. The Whale leaned on its side under the surface of the water which rushed in fast, and I couldn’t see a damn thing.

    Calm, stay calm. Don’t panic. They say when you’re drowning not to panic because you use up your air faster.
    Dammit, am I drowning?

    I tried to get myself upright and jerked out of my seatbelt. Luckily, it gave way. I fought the latch to open the door facing up, but the pressure of the water from Black Water River held it closed, trapping me inside.

    Jesus. I know this river. It’s more of a creek. It can’t be more than fifteen feet across and ten feet deep.
    I pushed at the door. Opening my mouth to scream, I swallowed water.

    I couldn’t see or hear Julie or Mike. My watch ticked. Or was it my heart beating?

    Ba bum. Ba bum. Ba bum.

    Darkness.

    Silence.

    Cold.

    Wet.

    Defying gravity.

    Nothing.

    The dreams came. Like a good sleep you don’t want to wake up from. I felt heavy and floaty. I wore this long white gauzy gown and the wind blew my dress and my hair like in some feminine hygiene commercial. I could breathe slowly and deeply. Completely relaxed and at peace, but I was alone.

    I floated along in a white space for a while. Drifting. Breathing. Relaxing. Had I gone to a spa? After an immeasurable amount of time, others appeared. They wore white clothing, too, and they floated like me, reaching out. They opened their arms as if to welcome me to them.

    I stopped and frowned. I heard no sound, and I didn’t know who these white floaty people were or why they welcomed me. They smiled, genuinely happy, and held their arms out to me. I panicked.

    Where’s my mom? My family? Wait, Mike and Julie were just with me, where are they? Are those wings?
    I noticed the others floating with me had white feathery wings.

    “Lily,” one of them called out.

    Holy hell. I’m dead.

  • Four Words…


    Tour_Header

    Hey, everyone, Emma Martin here! I’m super excited to take part in the Strength Blog tour. I read this book and developed a little book boyfriend thing with Wallace (Don’t tell Jake–LOL). So, I was really glad when I found out it was Wallace who was going to give my Four Word Interview a try. **swoon**

    So, let’s get into this and see what Wallace is all about…But be sure to read all the way to the end, there’s a wicked-cool giveaway!!

    Emma Martin: Favorite time of day….

    Wallace Blake: Anytime but eight thirty.

    EM: Fondest childhood memory is . . .

    WB: Rather not go there.

    EM: Describe your friend Rena. . .

    WB: Small, stubborn, and feisty.

    EM: If granted one wish. . .

    WB: I’d end this curse.

    ~~~~~

    Okay, so that last one…I’d end this curse…that really hit home. I used to think my “gifts” were curses, too. I mean, glowing wrists that could ignite at any time if there are Vamps in the near vicinity isn’t really conducive to hanging around people, let alone getting close to them. So I feel your pain, Wallace. Hang in there. I just know things’ll work out for you somehow. And with that little spitfire, Rena…she’ll help you through it!
