Suzy in CanadaThis week, SUZY TURNER is in the Carnival’s center ring. Turner is the author of Raven, December Moon, The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw, Daisy Madigan’s Paradise, and my personal favorite, The Lost Soul.

Cover Reveal: The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw by Suzy Turner

A couple of weeks ago, fellow indie author Suzy Turner emailed me to share her latest project, The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw, a Morgan Sisters Novel. And it gave me chills. Then she made me promise not to tell anyone about it until September 1st. Yeah, bummer, but it is now one minute into September in my time zone and I’m spilling everything I know.
Here’s the scoop…
Adopted sisters Lana Beth and Emma Jane are polar opposites, but when the same strange ‘tattoo’ suddenly appears and winds its way up their bodies within days of each other, they realize there’s more to their relationship than they could ever have imagined.
Sent off to London for two weeks of work experience, the Morgan Sisters soon find themselves being initiated into the ancient Praxos Foundation, one that protects the innocent while fighting evil, both human and supernatural.
At the same time, Lana Beth and Emma Jane must also investigate why the sweet but sometimes pesky ghost of Josiah Grimshaw just won’t leave them alone.

Hooked yet? She had me at the cover. Isn’t it gorgeous? Suzy says The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw will be released November 14th. In the meantime, if you haven’t picked it up yet, check out her Raven Saga series. Specifically, The Lost Soul where you’ll see yours truly credited for some dinosaur identification help. Really. I can’t make this stuff up. Well, I write fiction, so yes, technically, I can make this stuff up, but I really didn’t this time. Really.
Have a ridiculously fun and safe Labor Day weekend. ~Bryna

Pinterested in All Things Mogdoc?

Have you ever wondered what Ann’s Fall Ball formal looked like? Having trouble imagining the caverns below the Mogdoc Citadel? The Mogdoc News Network has now spread its influence to Pinterest. Pinned to the “All Things Mogdoc” board, you’ll find images that remind me of the Midnight Guardian and her world.

While you’re there also check out the “YA Books for Kindle” and “Nerd Nirvana” boards.

Does a Sequel Affect the Original?

When asked if there would be a sequel for E.T., Steven Spielberg said that he would never make it. He felt that a sequel would just degrade the original work. Spielberg has, of course, gone on to make many sequels of many of his movies, but still left E.T. as a standalone.

So what goes into the decision to create a sequel? I suppose the answer is both emotional and logical. I believe the decision comes from Continue reading “Does a Sequel Affect the Original?” →

YA Indie Carnival: Interview With a Villain

This week I’m handing over my Indie Carnival duties to the nefarious bunch over at the Mogdoc News Network. What’s a mogdoc you ask? They’re the ancient, evil creatures hunting down Keira Ryan. Think of a gremlin crossed with a swamp monster then give it super speed and a taste for human blood. I think they have this week’s post in the bag.
