DARK BREAKS THE DAWN Pre-Order Giveaways!!


Coming May 30th, 2017!!


DARK BREAKS THE DAWN 
Pre-Order Extravaganza is HERE!!!

I am SO excited to share the pre-order giveaway details with you all! I've been working on this for months, and I hope you will be as thrilled with the MANY options of what you could win as I am! 

Before I get to the giveaways though, here are the entry details:

2. Email me the picture of your pre-order receipt via 
DarkBreaksTheDawn (at) Gmail (dot) com and include your mailing address

THAT'S IT!! So easy, right??


Now to the REALLY fun part....what you could win! 

Dark Breaks The Dawn is a fantasy re-imagining of Swan Lake with some new twists. I've always loved Swan Lake, it's my favorite ballet and that music. Wow. Also, swans have always been my favorite birds. (I guess I have that in common with Evelayn, the main character in the book.) So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I saw my cover for the first time -- I actually got emotional, I loved it so much. And that image, along with the story's roots in Swan Lake, and Evelayn's love for swans inspired the items in the giveaway. Are you ready??

What makes you love YA?

The way the YA genre has exploded in recent years has been quite the phenomenon. Luckily for me, it's what I've always written (before I knew what "YA" even was). Well, other than that one unfortunate attempt at writing an adult fiction novel. With the knowledge I have now, I know I could go back and make it a much better book. Maybe someday. But my passion is YA, and for now, I'm sticking with it.

In any genre, there will be books that don't live up to your hopes, and others that far exceed them. In my opinion, the best books are the ones that you are dying to finish so you can find out what happens, and yet simultaneously wish could go on forever because you love it so much. One of the most interesting (and sometimes frustrating) aspects of the publishing industry is that different people can and do have completely different reactions to the same book.

What I'm interested in hearing today is why YOU love YA? (Assuming that you do...) What makes YA something you want to write or read? What sets YA apart from other genres in your opinion?
