What do historical fiction and YA magical realism have in common?

June 29, 2012 by Tahlia Newland

The answer to that one is as varied as your imagination, but now that you're reading, I'll share the one that came to my mind - they both have an author. In this case, both author's have books are also on the Awesome Indies. Today, Historical Fiction and Awesome Indie author, Lisa J Yarde has an interview with me on her blog. Pop on over to the Brooklynn Scribbler to read an interview where I talk about how You Can't Shatter Me aims to  empower bystanders  of bullying to not be afraid to step in and do something about it.

‘Give Me a Break’ book trailer number one

May 20, 2012 by Tahlia Newland

I'm bubbling over with excitement because I've had lots of fun returning to my artistic roots over the last couple of days (note the new Give Me a Break theme images on my site,) and this is the first book trailer I've ever had out there and I don't think it's too bad. Yeah, I know, I talk a lot when I'm excited and it's on Facebook a million times already, but I just want to share it, everywhere, to make sure you all get to see it. Chris's music is awesome - well, I think so anyway. It's good to have a composer in the family. What do you think of it? … [Read more...]
