In the Spotlight – Lindsey R. Loucks

authorphoto2 (426x640) (426x640)Having a book release is an exciting time and today I’m lucky to have the delightful Lindsey R. Loucks as my guest. I’ve been fortunate to get to know Lindsey the last couple months as we were preparing for our books to release and sharing debut author nerves. She loads of fun and her YA supernatural novel, The Grave Winner, is great summer read.

About Lindsey R. Loucks

Lindsey R. Loucks works as a school librarian in rural Kansas. When she’s not discussing books with anyone who will listen, she’s dreaming up her own stories. Eventually her brain gives out, and she’ll play hide and seek with her cat, put herself in a chocolate induced coma, or watch scary movies alone in the dark to reenergize.

She’s been with her significant other for almost two decades.

In the Spotlight – Lynn Rush

I do so enjoy my features with other authors. I get to meet new people and find out a little about their books. I also get to spotlight my author friends, which is particularly satisfying. Especially when  they are as cool as Lynn Rush. Okay, okay, so all of my author friends are pretty cool, but each one is special. And it’s a joy to have Lynn in the spotlight because not only is she prolific and savvy, she is a generous and giving person to her fellow authors. And very patient with a newbie like me and my questions.

In the Spotlight – Debra Driza

Today I get to feature Debra Driza and her fascinating YA novel Mila 2.0. I’ve been wanting to read this novel ever since I first heard about it and saw the gorgeous cover. I’m pleased that I’ll finally be able to start it in the next week or so. I did read the prequel Mila 2.0 Origins: The Fire, which was awesome. Also the novel has been optioned by the creator of Grey’s Anatomy for a TV show and a pilot has already been written. My fingers are crossed that we see Mila onscreen soon!

About Debra Driza

Debra is a member of the YA lit blogging group the Bookanistas and a former physical therapist who finds torturing her characters infinitely more enjoyable. She’s particularly fond of sweets, all that is random, and teen TV, and is pretty sure she wasn’t built in a computer science lab based on her inability to find her keys and master the common calender.

These days you can find her at her (messy) home in California, adding a variety of colors to her hair and wrangling one husband, two kids, and an assortment of Rhodesian Ridgebacks (all of which are varying degrees of naughty). MILA 2.0 is her first novel.
