Greetings And Giveaways From The YA Squad!


Happy December Eve, everyone! Welcome to our little corner of the internet. If you haven't already, meet the Squad. We're a group of Young Adult authors who eat, sleep, and breathe books.

From the burning ember of first love to the bitterness of first heartbreak, the teenage years are emotional and raw. Show us action, give us romance, keep us on the edge of our seats in suspense...we believe there is nothing as magical as a good YA book.

To kick things off, we have an awesome giveaway. All you need to do to enter is comment on this post. We'd like to get to know you. Pull up a chair, grab a coke (or a coffee) and tell us something about yourself! Maybe your favorite animal or food. Possibly your guilty pleasure. What did you want to do for a living when you were a teen?

Perhaps your deepest, darkest secret...?

Now for the goodies! Check it out...

- A 20$ gift Starbucks gift card
- ebook copy of Accidental Butterfly by Marisa Cleveland
- ebook copy of Darker Days by Jus Accardo
- ebook copy of Falling For The Wrong Guy by Sara Hantz
- ebook copy of  Running Out of Time (A Murder in Mind novella) by Sara Hantz
- ebook copy of Playing the Player by Lisa Brown Roberts
- ebook copy of Blackmail Boyfriend by Chris Cannon 

A winner will be chosen from the commenter pool on December 5th by RNG.

  1. Congratulations on the blog! I knew I was a writer from the time I was little but I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a teen. I thought I'd care for animals during the day and write at night.

  2. Hello all! I am a grandma who loves YA, I embarrass my daughter when I go to book signings."what are you going to say, mom?", we peruse the bookstore aisles together, and I get first dibs because I read so fast. Hello fellow book lovers!

    1. Hi Carol, thanks for stopping by the blog! I bet you're happy you changed your mind! I did secretarial work in my 20s, working my way through college. I have to say I don't miss it :)

  6. Congratulations on the new blog. Older YA fan here. When I was a teenager, my dream job was to name things. Serengeti Sunrise for the latest yellowish Orange paint color. Dr. Creighton Grace is the latest soap character. The Blessed Bayou, a honky tonk bar opening downtown. If it needed naming, I was your girl.

  8. I wanted to be a linguist and a writer both. As soon as I turned 17, I joined the Army and did just that. I was a Signals Intelligence Analyst and I spoke Vietnames and Polish. Now I am on career #2... writing! I love YA, and I don't care that I am the mother of 4 YA kids!
