So, three wonderful, adorable young people have ventured into the recesses of my mind --and my life.
Nola St. Germaine, Deslyn Wilder, and Bronte Ladeaux. They are my three lead characters for my YA Paranormal Fiction Series, S.P.I.R.I.T.S.
The main title is actually their Paranormal Group that has been named by fellow author, Kelly Erickson, who gets a mention in the novel, among other things after the first book comes out. She won the contest for best PARANORMAL Group Name/Acronym! Congrats, Kelly and thanks so much!

I have a feeling that this series will become as viral as the Twilight Series, if not more (at least I can hope). My characters have seemed to jump right out of the pages and feel as lifelike as you or me. I have a feeling they are gonna take over and make their own blog, so stay tuned for that! They already have their own *Paranormal Group* fan page, which has been a lot of fun seeing them interact. They will soon be introducing each other so that their fans can get to know more about them. They love their fans!!

As their creator and author of the future series, I am looking forward to bringing them into the light and making them a national sensation! Stay tuned for Book Cover reveals, swag giveaways, etc.
Thanks for your continued support! As Nola would say... Much Love and Ghost hugs! ;)

 Author Danielle Martell was the lucky winner of this past week's Tearjerker/Tragic Tuesday free author promo! Her book, High by Day, Drunk by Night is due for release July 2013! A young girl growing up in California tries to cope with the after affects of  abuse, but her choices in doing so leads her down the path of destruction.

Synopsis:

Anne grew up in a small town in California. She was quiet, sweet, and to a strangers eyes, she was untainted. Her world took a turn when child protected services came into her family's life. She never knew the abuse she was subjected to every day, was only the beginning, until now. As Anne grew older, she discovered the child abuse flash backs haunted her every moment of every day. She runs away from her family, escaping CPS and befriends abusers of alcohol and drugs. Believing this was a way to  close the doors of her past, she soon finds it only opens new ones to unrelenting addictions. Will Anne be able to defeat her demons before its too late? Or will the drugs make her past haunt her again when suicide comes into the picture?

 I am looking forward to reading this work due to it being about an issue close to my heart; physical and sexual abuse.
