Welcome to the Fall 2019 YA Scavenger Hunt!
Oh hai! I am Kristin Jacques, your hostess with the mostess for this leg of the scavenger hunt! A little bit about me: I have an addiction to rice krispy treats (honestly who doesn’t) When I’m not writing, or reading, I am practicing my favorite hobby of Netflixing. I own two rescue cats. One of…
An Interview with T.L. Bodine
Tell us about yourself! From your roots to your branches, tell us how you planted your horror flag in the publishing world! I can’t really remember a time when I didn’t like horror. When I was a kid I used to stay up late to watch Alfred Hitchcock Presents on Nick at Night, and I have…
An Interview with Heather Kindt
Tell us a little bit about your writing journey. Back in 2008, I completed my master’s degree in teaching reading. I always seemed to do well on my papers. At the same time, I devoured the Twilight series. The combination of these two things made me think that I could create my own world through my writing.…
An Interview with Poe Casavant
Introductions please! Tell us about your book! What inspired your main character? Was the writing process pure agony or inspired brilliance? Wolf Smoke was inspired by my grandfather’s old VHS tape of Rollerball. That movie was so quintessentially seventies; the hair, the clothes, the roller skating! While the film had its quirks, the idea of…
Pathways, Choices, and Potholes
With a heavy heart and heavier hand, I took Zombies vs Aliens off of Amazon this morning. This book has been on one hell of a journey but I don’t think the mammoth scene that is Amazon is the right place for Li and her band of oddities. Not sure it ever was. That being…

Release Day: Ragnarok Unwound
My first book baby of 2019 has been unleashed!! I have been a raging ball of anxiety and excitement all week. Today has been quite the thrill ride, and I am still riding this promo train into the sunset. I’ve been tweeting, posting, flossing, and book blasting since I rolled out of bed this morning…
Minutes to Midnight: A Year in Review
Growing Pains This has been one hell of a year. Looking back on it all, 2018 very much felt like three years crammed into one. There were victories, set backs, hours upon hours of tedious work, deadline after deadline, sleepless nights, and more than one week of dozing off at 3 in the afternoon. I…

Tune In Tuesday #5: Under Pressure
My weekly posting goal went off the rails in October. October was a rough month. I didn’t let myself properly recover from a rather terrible summer, attempted to jump right in to a truckload of work, and floundered hard midway through the month. So I gave myself time to breathe. And when November rolled…
