so. i have exciting news to share!
a matter of fate, the first novel of my young adult urban fantasy series, will be finally released at the end of august! and this makes me ridiculously happy, because i can hardly wait to share this story and these characters with you all.
the official blurb:
Chloe Lilywhite struggles with all the normal problems of a typical seventeen-year-old high school student. Only, Chloe isn’t a normal teenage girl. She’s a Magical, part of a secret race of beings who influences the universe. More importantly, she’s a Creator, which means Fate mapped out her destiny long ago, from her college choice, to where she will …live, to even her job. While her friends and relatives relish their future roles, Chloe resents the lack of say in her life, especially when she learns she’s to be guarded against a vengeful group of beings bend of wiping out her kind. Their number one target? Chloe, of course.
That’s nothing compared to the boy trouble she’s gotten herself into. Because a guy she’s literally dreamed of and loved her entire life, one she never knew truly existed, shows up in her math class, and with him comes a twin brother she finds herself inexplicably drawn to.
Chloe’s once unyielding path now has a lot more choices than she ever thought possible . . .
and here’s the gorgeous cover (by carly stevens):
i am so in love with this. seriously, how fabulous is it? not to mention it completely represents chloe and her story on so many levels.
the husband was kind enough to set up a facebook author page for me, on which i’ll be posting information on characters (during meet me monday features), songs/videos off of my writing playlist (longtime blog readers know just how rabid i am about my tunes), and more. go HERE to check it out: https://www.facebook.com/heatherlyonsbooks
also, i have a website for the series–world of annar. on it, you’ll find the first chapter to read and an encyclopedia of terms, peoples, and places you’ll find within the story.
i will have a more definitive release date to share with you all soon. you’ll be able to find a matter of fate on amazon, barnes and noble, and createspace.
here’s a song that got a lot of play while i wrote chloe’s story: chemicals collide by cloud cult
i was out paying close attention
or was i lost inside my thoughts
these days it’s hard to tell what’s outside from what’s in my mind
and oh god, it’s beautiful
insatiable
the way our chemicals collide
i was out catching up to tomorrow
or was i caught up in the past
these days it’s hard to tell what’s out in front from what’s behind
and oh god, it’s unforgettable
unpredictable
the way our chemicals collide
i was sleeping in the lilies
or was i up all night
these days it’s hard to tell what’s half asleep from fully alive
we were loving like a landslide
or were we in a fight
these days it’s hard to tell what’s right from wrong and wrong from right
and oh god, it’s beautiful
insatiable
the way our chemicals collide
and oh god, it’s unforgettable
unpredictable
the way our chemicals collide
