Emi Gayle has offered up a great giveaway this week: an ebook copy of After Dark and a bookmark.
To enter just fill in the rafflecopter below.
After Dark (Book One of the 19th Year) by Emi GayleWhat eighteen year old Mac Thorne doesn’t know will probably kill her.
In exactly eight months, five days, three hours and thirteen minutes, Mac has to choose what she’ll be for the rest of her life.
She has no choice but to pick. As a Changeling, it’s her birthright. To Mac, it’s a birthchore. Like going to school with humans, interacting with humans, and pretending to be human during the pesky daylight hours.
Once darkness descends, Mac can change into any supernatural form that exists — which makes her as happy as she can be. That is, until Winn Thomas, the biggest geek in her senior class figures out there’s more to what hides in the dark than most are willing to acknowledge.
In this first of the 19th Year Trilogy, Winn might know more about Mac than even she does, and that knowledge could end their lives, unless Mac ensures the powers-that-be have no choice but to keep him around.
About the author:
Actually, I had a really great bio in my head around midnight one
night …. right before I fell asleep and it disappeared into the
nothingness of unconsciousness. Bummer. So here’s something less well
thought out.
I want to be young again, so I’m kinda sorta living it again. At
least on paper. You see, I write paranormal romance. Now, that stuff can
get really hot, and really gritty and well … mine does. But! My
characters are teenagers, 18 and under. Like I was once … and want to be
again.
Why would I want to be a teenager again? Geez. Because! If you met
the man of your dreams at 14 was engaged to him at 19 and married him at
20, wouldn’t YOU want to do all that over again? Especially if you were
still in love with him? I mean, c’mon! It’s love! That’s why I write,
too.
Thanks for a fun post and giveaway! I'm definitely interested in this book :)
ReplyDeleteThe solar-powered generator was sure a good pick! I would ask for that too and my lap top and my Kindle, hehe
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
The solar-powered generator is genius. Knowing my luck we would have perpetual bad weather.
ReplyDeleteAFTER DARK looks wonderful.
