Publisher: Entangled Select

Medical research scientist Elena Arcos has always lived her life under the radar. When she is shot in a convenience store robbery, Elena finds herself rocketed into supernatural insanity courtesy of a sexy immortal law enforcer.

Blog Tour- CREATORS by Tiffany Truitt Guest Post and a Giveaway!


I love Tiffany Truitt's books and I am so excited to have her on the blog and do I have a treat for you today! I have a scene from James's POV from her first book CHOSEN ONES! I thought it would be cool to see how he met Tess. Check it out and make sure to enter the awesome giveaway below!

Haven't heard of CREATORS? Check it out!


Title: CREATORS A Lost Souls Novel#3)
Author: Tiffany Truitt
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Pages: 416
Pub. Date: April 28, 2014
Heartbroken but more determined than ever after a tense showdown in the woods, sixteen-year-old Tess once again returns to the safety of her community of Isolationists. Bolstered by new alliances and desperate to protect those she loves, this time she knows she can return stronger and more powerful than ever to take back what is hers.


As she trains in combat and grows more confident, Tess receives beautiful letters penned by her forbidden love, the chosen one James, from his prison in Templeton. He is now serving as a bodyguard to the creators—the team of scientists who created artificial life in the first place. And what he has discovered about the true origin of the illness that halted natural life could change everything. Enemy will become ally and death will bring new hope in this stunning conclusion to Tiffany Truitt’s epic Lost Souls trilogy.

Now on to the scene from James's POV!!!



I am so excited to be here today to share a bit of the world I explore in my YA dystopian series, The Lost Souls. Book three, CREATORS, releases on April 28th. For today’s stop on the blog tour, I was asked to write the meet cue scene between the series’ doomed loves, James and Tess, from the pov of my male protagonist. While it was definitely interesting writing from James’ point of view, and I hope you enjoy it, please be warned that parts are a bit rough.

I never understood what made me stop and go into that room that day. I wasn’t taught to believe in fate; in fact, it was such a distasteful word amongst the creators who educated me that I couldn’t help but cringe whenever I even thought about such a concept---the belief that a power larger than man, bigger than my mind could understand, could direct and lead my life.

But, of course, my whole life was dictated by such a power. The council and their creators dictated every gene in my genetic make-up and took from me any possibility of free-will and choice. I was made to be a soldier and nothing else. But that day I did make a choice.

No, I could not call it fate. I had decided my destiny that day. The day I met her, and I wouldn’t change it. Not for anything. Not even for one second.

I had heard the music slither its way from underneath the closed door. It was dangerous, outlawed. But I had to find the source. Who would be so brazen to play openly as if he didn’t care who heard it. It was widely known that many members of the council and chosen ones had hidden amongst their things contraband books and music, but this was open defiance. There was nothing secret about it.  The last thing I had expected to find was a girl.

The sight of her playing the piano, lost in a world where she was ruler and I could only watch, caused me to lose all sense of reason. I was swept along with the notes she created, temporarily paralyzed by the freedom it whispered. Standing there, unable to move, barely able to breathe, I took in the Templeton girl. I had seen girls before. Forced into servitude by the council, they were always around our training center. But unlike the other boys who taunted and pawed at them like playthings, I kept my distance.

To love was the biggest sin of all.

But I couldn’t stop staring at this girl. She wasn’t perfect. Flawed. But it was these flaws, these genetic mistakes, that drew me in like a moth to a flame. A flame that began to burn through me. Consume me. Overtake me.  The flames reached my throat, suddenly dry, empty despite all the questions I had for her. All the things I was desperate to know about the beautiful girl who sat before me.

Suddenly, her dangerous music stopped, and I knew that I had been caught. Her back straight as an arrow. She would run. It would be the only sensible thing to do. Just as I should have reported her. But in that moment it was the last thing on my mind. I slowly stepped towards the piano, and her head hesitantly turned towards me. I expected to see fear. I was a creature of destruction, after all. But she took me in.

I could feel her eyes roam over my face, finally resting on the scar on my chin. The one flaw my creator purposely made in a passive aggressive sign of resistance against the council who abandoned him.  In that moment the fire inside of me raged and my hand twitched, recklessly wanting to reach for her. Instead, I placed my hands on the keys. And I played. I played because if I didn’t, I would have touched her. I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself.

For the first time in my life I knew what it was to want.

And then her hands were dancing across the keys as well. Two people from different worlds, and yet we played such beautifully dangerous music together. It was only when the music stopped that I realized just how foolish I had been. I had committed a crime. With a natural, no less. The council was right. Women were dangerous, and this girl seemed to be the most dangerous one of them all. Just the sight of her, the simple act of her defiance, and I had nearly lost my mind.

I was good at following the rules. Five minutes with her and I wanted to break every last one of them.

“Name?”  I wondered if my voice sounded as shaky to her as it did to me.  The girl simply stared at me. I  cleared my throat. “Name?”

“Tess,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.  And when I sat silent, unsure if I could turn this girl in, she repeated her name louder, prouder:  “Tess. Number 258915.”

I meant to say a million things to her in response. How she had broken the rules. How she would have to be punished.  But, instead, all I could say was her lovely name, “Tess.” 

Her eyes danced with mine, but I couldn’t read the emotion behind them. “You should leave,” I whispered, not sure if I was talking to Tess or myself.

With a deep breath and a simple utterance, she proceeded to re-define my world. “No.” That no should have infuriated me, but it only made me want to get to know her more. Be as brave as her. Understand her courage.  I was pissed. I was elated. I felt all the things that I was told were terribly wrong to feel, and yet, I felt, for the very first time in my life curiosity, and I couldn’t help but laugh.  It was absurd, every last moment of our time together.

It was like a drug.  It muddled my mind. But I wanted more. 

The girl turned back to the piano and continued to play.

 A dark thought began to haunt my mind. She didn’t seem to fear me, and I couldn’t help but wonder why. It was no secret that many of the Templeton girls took up with the training chosen ones. Was she one of those girls? So sure her chosen one would protect her that she didn’t fear me? A feeling I couldn’t quite name began to over take me.

“How do you know this song?” I asked more harshly than I had intended. Had a chosen one taught her? She should have known not to be foolish to trust one of them. I saw the way the other boys treated the girls, all lies and betrayal.

“My father.”

 “You do understand that I should report this?” I asked her.

“Yes.”

“You do know the council won’t just ignore it? There are rules to be followed,” I reminded her. Suddenly, the real world was screaming at me from the other side of the door. If someone else had caught her, she would be in danger. She couldn’t make this mistake again.

“I didn’t realize I wasn’t allowed.”

“With that kind of attitude, you won’t make it long here,” I snapped. Did she want trouble? The same defiance that called to me before now frightened me. I didn’t want to see anything bad to happen to this girl.

 “You should leave,” I continued, placing my hands on hers. I told myself that I had to touch her, remove her hands from the keys to show her I was serious about her leaving, but the truth was I had to touch her just once. Once before I let her disappear back into her world as I went back into mine.

“I won’t tell anyone, if that’s what you’re worried about.”

 “Why won’t you report me?”  

“I don’t know,” I sighed. I should have but I couldn’t.

“Isn’t it near time for the transport to take you back?” I asked her.

“I suppose so. Yes.”

“Very well.”

As I moved away from the girl, heading back towards the world where this sort of event would never happen again, I simply couldn’t help myself. With one long last look at the enigma who enchanted me, I said: ““Tess, you are not to do anything like this again. Not under any circumstances.” I would never speak to her again after this moment, but I would make it my business to protect her.

 “Yes, sir.”

“And Tess? You play beautifully.”

I would make it my business to protect her the rest of my life.





Awesome scene!! Thanks so much Tiffany I adore James :D

Blog Tour- THE SHADOW PRINCE by Stacey O'Neale an Interview and a Giveaway!!

TSP Blog Tour Button


I have Stacey O'Neale here today with an interview for the blog tour for THE SHADOW PRINCE. Check it out and enter the giveaway below!

Haven't heard of THE SHADOW PRINCE? Check it out!



Every sacrifice has consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortals—learning to control the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by completing a secret mission: Kill Kalin, the half-human, half-elemental daughter of the air court king. Willing to do anything to remove his mother from power, he agrees to sacrifice the halfling. He returns to the mortal world with his best friend, Marcus, determined to kill the princess. But as he devises a plan, he starts to question whether or not he's capable of completing such a heinous task. And what price he will pay if he refuses?

Available for FREE on Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Also available in PRINT from Amazon | Barnes & Noble



On to the interview!

1. What draws you to the paranormal genre? I'm an avid reader of YA and adult paranormal romance. I try to read a book a week. For me, reading is an escape. When my life gets overwhelming, I like to disappear inside a new world. It's easy to do that with paranormal. I also love the swoony men that tend to run rapid in these worlds. ;-p 

2. Where do your ideas come from? Everyday life. I've gotten ideas while watching television, driving, showering, conversation with family/friends, etc. For that reason, I always carry a small notebook so I can write them down. I have a spreadsheet on my computer I keep them on. Not all of my ideas are paranormal. They are all over the place.

3. Why did you decide to write a series about elementals? I was researching faeries when I kept coming across the word elemental. I googled the name and happened to stumble upon the sixteenth century works of an alchemist named Paracelsus. He identified the four types of elementals, even giving them names. My brain started spinning with ideas, and eventually, the characters came to life. 

4. Can you tell us a little bit about Rowan? Rowan is the heir to the fire court throne. He is a powerful elemental who's spent most of his life away from the court. He's got tons of family drama, but also good friends who help him through it. At times he can be a bit arrogant as most princes are, but he's also thoughtful and loyal to the people he loves. 

5. Is Rowan based on anyone you know? Is there a famous actor you could compare him to? I think Rowan is made up of four or five people. It's small facets of their personalities embellished, then fused together to make one person. As far as physical appearance, I think he looks a bit like Luke Grimes on True Blood. 

6. What was the hardest scene to write in THE SHADOW PRINCE? It's difficult to answer this without giving anything away. I will say there's a scene where a character is forced (literally) to do something horrible to someone they love. It has a deep impact on both characters in different ways. Because I love both of them so much, it was really hard to go through it with them. 

7. Why did you decide to give the novella away for FREE? Because I'm a new author, I thought I would get more readers to give it a chance if it were free. I hope they fall in love with Rowan the way I have and want to know more about his role in the series. I also thought it would be fun to introduce Kalin (my series heroine) through his eyes. 

8. What is your favorite quote? I have two. "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." e.e. cummings "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Ralph Waldo Emerson 

9. Who are some of your favorite authors? I have a list of what I call my auto-buys. I will read anything by these authors: Gena Showalter, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Richelle Mead, Cassandra Clare, Holly Black, and Melissa Marr. 

10. What are you working on next? I'd like to finish the first book in an adult science fiction romance series I started last year. I'm about halfway there. Afterwards, I have to write the second book in the MORTAL ENCHANTMENT series. Needless to say, 2014 will be a busy year for me.

Exclusive Cover Reveal- THE CURE FOR DREAMING by Cat Winters and a Giveaway!




I am sooooooo excited!!!! Today I get the EXCLUSIVE cover reveal for THE CURE FOR DREAMING by Cat Winters releasing in October 14, 2014! I adored Cat's other book and am dying to get my hands on this one myself! Check out the gorgeous cover, synopsis, and enter to win an ARC!




About the book: 

THE CURE FOR DREAMING by Cat Winters
Publisher: Amulet Books
Publication date: October 14, 2014
Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl—a suffragist—in an age that prefers its girls to be docile. It’s 1900 in Oregon, and Olivia’s father, concerned that she’s headed for trouble, convinces a stage mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she’s able to see people’s true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud. These supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and so she’s drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women. Winters breathes new life into history once again with an atmospheric, vividly real story, including archival photos and art from the period throughout.

From Cat:

To create the cover for The Cure for Dreaming, the book’s designer, Maria T. Middleton, started with a black-and-white historical photograph of a young hypnotized woman—the same photo that served as my inspiration for the novel’s opening chapter. She then worked her magic on the image, added that gorgeous lettering, and the final result is vibrant, intriguing, very Victorian, slightly odd, and absolutely perfect for the story.

Even more exciting are the cover’s hidden surprises. Look closely at that ornate wallpaper in the background, and you’ll catch hints about the novel’s darker side. See those swirls radiating from the girl’s head? On the final cover, they’ll turn into a hypnotizing special effect. And if you’re wondering what the girl’s feet are up to, you’ll need to wait until the full dust jacket becomes available. The young woman’s body will wrap around to the back of the book. I couldn’t be happier with Maria’s highly clever creation.

Blog Tour- AFTER THE END by Amy Plumb Character Interview and a Giveaway!


Welcome to the AFTER THE END blog tour. I'm thrilled to be a part of the celebration for Amy Plum's upcoming release! I have a character interview with Miles and I adore him so make sure to check that out and enter the giveaway below! 


About the Book


By: Amy Plum

Published by: Harper Teen
Hitting Book Shelves on: May 6, 2014
Pre-Order from: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Indiebound
Find out more about the book


World War III has left the world ravaged by nuclear radiation. A lucky few escaped to the Alaskan wilderness.
They′e survived for the last thirty years by living off the land, being one with nature, and hiding from whoever else might still be out there.
At least, this is what Juneau has been told her entire life.
When Juneau returns from a hunting trip to discover that everyone in her clan has vanished, she sets off to find them. Leaving the boundaries of their land for the very first time, she learns something horrifying: There never was a war. Cities were never destroyed. The world is intact.
Everything was a lie.
Now Juneau is adrift in a modern-day world she never knew existed. But while she′s trying to find a way to rescue her friends and family, someone else is looking for her. Someone who knows the extraordinary truth about the secrets of her past.
Ok now on to the interview!!!!

Hi Miles! Welcome to Two Chicks on Books! Let me just say I have become a big fan of yours and I can’t wait for the readers to meet you! Ok so on to my questions….

You’ve been in quite a bit of trouble lately! Do you do it to get attention or because you’re bored?
Okay, first of all, this is just between you and me. I would never say these things to a friend. I guess that says a lot about my friends, but whatever. Amy’s asked me to be honest. And to keep sarcasm to a minimum. *laughs* I’ll do what I can.
So...as for getting in trouble, boredom wouldn’t be a factor. And attention...I don’t know.
To be honest, I was the model citizen until last year. Or at least, one who wasn’t attracting a lot of negative press, school-wise. But my mom left. And, you know, a lot of things felt less important after that. Like sports. And grades. And if I could do something to distract me from the hole Mom left when she took off, well, that was less time I had to think about it.

How was your childhood? Did having an absent father change you?
Dad has always been married to his job. At least, that’s what Mom said. So who am I to question it? It’s all I know.
Honestly, I don’t go out of my way to provoke him. But Dad and I are so different that no matter what I do, we’ll never be close.
You seem to be a risk taker so why does believing in magic come so hard for you?
Because I don’t live in Hogwarts. I mean, this is the real world. Magic doesn’t exist! It’s not like we’re all living between the pages of some reality-bending wand-waving novel. This is America, not Transylvania. Magic, monsters, and all that paranormal crap—it’s for weirdoes. Not guys like me whose feet are firmly planted to the ground.
Huh? What? Oh right. Amy says ixnay with the sarcasm. Sorry.

What is the most important or most impressive achievement in your life so far?
What I would tell my friends: the time I set the school dumpsters on fire using the deer crap our gardener left out after his last landscaping project.
What I would admit to you: keeping myself sane after my mother went crazy and left me and dad alone.

What’s a day like in the life of Miles Blackwell?
Pre-Juneau? School, home, Comedy Network and a beer from the gardener’s shed, video games.
Now? Drive this crazy chick halfway across America in search of her “kidnapped” clan. Watch her talk to trees, birds, and inanimate objects, jump from moving cars, and kill and roast small woodland creatures over the fire for our dinner. Scheme as to how I can get her back to L.A. and turn her over to my dad who’s searching for her.
So you can definitely say that life’s gotten a bit more interesting since Juneau came into my life.

Now that you’ve met Juneau tell us what about her do you like the most?
Alright, she’s pretty far out, lifestyle- and philosophy-wise. We’ll agree to that. But her smile is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. Maybe if she always smiled, I wouldn’t notice it—her normal expression would fall under the “troubled” category. But the one rare smile she gives me once in a full moon—it’s like walking out of a dark room straight into the sun.
What’s the most annoying thing she does?
Calls me on anything I get wrong. Most girls I know smooth things over, or try to twist things so that they help you save face. Not Juneau. She doesn’t give me an inch of rope—just lets me fall flat on my face and doesn’t look away. Strangely enough, even though it’s annoying, it makes me like her even more.



Thanks Miles you rock!
