Writers' Chasm

This week we have young adult author and equestrian, Courtney Moulton, at the blog with us! She has her own blog here . Her debut novel, ANGELFIRE, comes out in summer 2011. Thanks for joining us Courtney! Can you tell us something about yourself and Angelfire? I’m a twenty-three-year old photographer, artist, and equestrian. Angelfire was my 2008 NaNoWriMo novel. It’s about a seventeen-year-old girl named Ellie who is the reincarnation of an ageless warrior and the only one able to wield swords of angelfire. She protects human souls against the reapers, monstrous creatures who devour souls and send them to Hell in order to rebuild Lucifer’s army of the damned for a second war against Heaven. She doesn’t remember her past lives or understand exactly what she is, but her soul remembers one thing: her Guardian and sworn protector, Will. As she uncovers the terrifying secrets of her origins and of Will’s mysterious past, a powerful reaper has discovered a weapon that may be able to destro...

Happy Monday everyone! Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. :) We're back this week with a surprise: interview! And everyone give our guest, Eric Luper, a big round of applause. *claps* Can you tell us something about you and your books? Wow, that’s a really broad question but I’ll give it a shot. I grew up a reluctant reader in Springfield, NJ. Only at Rutgers did I discover my love for writing where I got my degree in Creative Writing. Of course, I had a lot of reading to catch up on at that point so I spent the next few years devouring every book I could get my hands on (and I still do). I wrote in earnest for five years before I got my first book contract and somehow something clicked. Since then, I’ve had two books published (BIG SLICK and BUG BOY), have another coming out in June (SETH BAUMGARTNER’S LOVE MANIFESTO) and have a contract on my fourth (untitled), which is slated for release in 2011. Why write young adult over other genres? Since I was an undergraduate, my writ...

EEK I'm so excited to announce that I was able to get Bethany Griffin here for an interview with us! :D If you don't know Handcuffs or Bethany, you should. They're both made of awesome-ness. Handcuffs by Bethany Griffin Summary: Parker Prescott is an ice princess. Cold, aloof, and a snob. At least, that's what everyone says on Marion Henessy's blog. And everyone reads Marion Henessy's blog. Parker Prescott is a middle child. She's the good one, the dependable one, the one her parents trust. Well...she used to be. Parker Prescott's parents want her to break up with her boyfrined. But she already did, two weeks ago. And then she realized it was a mistake. He came over. He had the handcuffs in his pocket. Everything went downhill from there. Sort of. Parker Prescott's world is changing and she no longer knows who she is. Does anyone? Review: First off, I want to say I love this book! And I'm not just saying that either. The characters were awesome ...
