BLOODBOUND
What do you all think of this post's title? Cool, right? Now, what would you think if I said that was the name of a new book I'm working on? You'd love it, yes?
Now...what would you say if I told you that Auntie Heather is happy to announce that I just sold the first three books of a new YA series??? That's right, starting with BLOODBOUND, the fabulous folks at Dutton/Penguin are going to publish my newest series. And this one isn't about vampires.
Only I haven't quite developed an elevator pitch for it. So it's a little difficult to describe.
Suffice it to say, there are monsters, swords, war, blood, and yes (for all you Twilight-lovers), romance. BLOODBOUND is about a girl named Kaya, who's forced to attend a school known as Shadow Academy. Kaya's a Healer...and Healer's aren't exactly treated as equals to the Barrons they're caring for. But, you'll learn more about that when it debuts in Spring 2011.
Now celebrate with me, Minions!!!
Also, my BFF and critique partner, Jackie Kessler, just sold a fabulous YA novel that you all need to watch out for - it's called HUNGER, and it's about a girl who becomes chosen as the next Famine (you know...of the four horsemen fame?). I've read it and absolutely LOVED it! So...you'll all love it too. Just trust me on this. Anyhoo, since this is Jackie's for YA book, she's developing a new YA page, and as a result, is having a contest that you should enter!
EDITED TO ADD: Here's a better description - many thanks to Jackie for her brilliant assistance!
What's worse than being blackmailed to attend a hidden school where you're treated like a second-class citizen? How about nearly getting eaten by a monster when you arrive? Or learning that your soulmate was killed in a centuries-old secret war? And then there's the evil king who's determined to rule the world unless you can stop him...
Meet Kaya, a young woman with the power to heal and the determination to fight. But struggle as she will, she remains tied to three very different men: a hero who has forsaken glory, a tyrannical ruler who wants to use Kaya, and a warrior who's stolen her heart. Kaya learns the hard way that some ties can't be broken...and blood is the strongest bond of all.

I'll definitely have to check that out in 2011 (so far away). Can't wait! :D

Chris:)=
Congratulations Heather!
Awesome auntie.... completely awesomeness.
luv AVL
Bloodbound...It has a nice ring to it! :D I was having a difficult time thinking of a good title for my story, hoping to make it short, like, 1 to 3 words, but it came out as five words. *shrugs*
Anyway, can't wait to read, Auntie! ^^
How old is the main character in Bloodbound supposed to be? Just curious. :)
And once again, it sounds awesome! :D
omg sounds incredible! can't wait to read it!!! hooyeah!!!
tell me about it... i cant come up with anynames in general!
luv AVL
No worries! Vlad's not done telling his story just yet - Chronicles will conclude with his senior year.
BLOODBOUND takes place in an alternate world, and the main cxharacter - Kaya - is sixteen.
OH ok good lol, thanks Auntie. Kaya sounds cool. Bloodbound sounds even cooler. And srry about the whole big capitals all worriedness about Vlad, I just kind of got a little worried.
If you don't mind my asking, do you think it will be any different for you , writing and being a character who's a girl, unlike your previous character Vlad, who's a boy?
luv AVL
It'll be very different for me. Girls think and react differently than boys. But it's a challenge I'm looking forward to!
Good luck with all that Auntie, I imagine it would be difficult. And thank you for answering my question Auntie. :)=
Remember when I used to flipp out like a nut whenever you'd talk to me? Yeah, well, I still do that. XD
luv AVL
Wooot !
I cannot wait !
Have you started writing it?
Are you gonna make a trailer ?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, Bloodbound sounds great!
Congrats Auntie Heather. :)=
wait...so are you saying that you know how a boy thinks and reacts, but you don't know how a girl thinks and reacts? cuz you said, "Girls think and react differently than boys. But it's a challenge I'm looking forward to!" so i'm kinda confused.....
Wow, that sounds.... EPIC! I'm definitely gonna be waiting for this :D Congrats, Auntie heather! ^_^
I think Auntie Heather means it'll just be a change.
Cause she's used to writing from Vlad's mind, and then yeah.
xDD I think.
Hey Auntie! Do you really have to end Vlad's story at his senior year? A lot of people are in LOVE with him! Soooooo including me. But hey that new series Bloodbound sounds really good! I can't wait! I've already gotten 10th Grade Bleeds pre-ordered! Man he takes my breath away.
Congratulations! It's well deserved, and wow, what a lead-in from Jackie too! All the best!
nK
Awesome! I can't wait!
I'll be usre to get mmyself a copy :)=
