November is almost here. And with it comes some news.
The amazing Rebecca Green Gasper and I have started a new blog called Moxie Writers, a reader-centered blog for Indie-published works. It will offer everything needed to feed your inner reader: activities, memes, interviews, and giveaways—to name a few. Each post will remain relevant to our latest releases.
Speaking of releases, November brings the release of Break from You and Outcast, two YA contemporary novels with tough, but socially relevant issues. As part of the launch for the books, Rebecca and I are planning a blog tour, and we’d love for you to be a part of it. We hope to bring awareness to the issues of teen dating violence (Break from You) and bullying (Outcast). If you’re interested in hosting us and helping to speak out about these topics, there’s a linky below. The blog tour will happen from mid- to end November. Sign up, and leave the work and planning to us.
Break from You by Rebecca Green Gasper, is a novel about teen dating violence.
Brooke Myers wants to believe she has it all: the perfect guy, the perfect relationship, the perfect life. She wants to believe it so much that she's willing to overlook the fear, the isolation, and the pain her boyfriend has caused her. She knows it isn't right but tells herself that love isn't always easy. However, when a fire destroys the restaurant during homecoming dinner, she forms an instant bond with the boy who saves her, one her boyfriend wouldn’t like. With the pain of a concussion reminding her of how bad things can get, she is forced to re-evaluate the relationship she has with her boyfriend and face the ghosts that haunt her. Brooke once believed love was all it took…but is it enough? Is it truly love when you've lost yourself in it?
Outcast, by yours truly, delves into the world of bullying.
Always the compliant, Catholic school girl, Noelle grows tired of people’s hypocrisy. Her pious mother belittles her, and the popular group at school bullies her. With the help of her black-sheep aunt and a defiant, new classmate, Noelle seeks revenge. But vengeance comes with a price: Noelle risks friendship, her first love, and herself to get back at those who have wronged her.

These sound like great books. I might be interested in participating if you give more information as to what you plan to write for the blog tour. I have specific requirements for my blog if you want to guest post.
ReplyDeleteHi Stina,
DeleteI will be posting specifics about the blog tour later this week. Thank you so much for expressing interest.
Very exciting! Congratulations on this new chapter. Maybe I'll be joining you as an indie.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new blog (just followed!) and upcoming releases for you and Rebecca!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great, Susan. I'll have to check out this new blog. If this can't get any more sweeter, I left a little award for you on my blog. Come and claim it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love awards! Thanks, David!
DeleteLove the cover of Outvcast. It does speak to the subject matter of the book. Signing up to host you. I have a new YA blog, so I'll sign that up too. Going to check out Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteThanks for signing up, Joy! I truly appreciate it.
Deletei love this--what a fantastic idea--i linked up, although on the link for a particular blog--i didn't have one--so let me know what to do and i am there!!:)
ReplyDeleteLynn, you're on the linky. Thank you so much for volunteering to help.
DeleteThat sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael.
DeleteHey, Susan. I signed up, but...I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to do it. So just check with me when the time comes. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for offering, Linda. I will stay in touch. I love your blog anyway, so it won't be hard to do.
DeleteAnd I like the new look of the blog. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Susan,
ReplyDeleteOf course I am in! These are two very disturbing topics and need to be addressed.
My second novel deals with domestic violence to an extreme. Teens are being bullied by not only kids at school, but in the home as well.
Michael, thank you so, so much. I can't wait to read your books. You are such a beautiful writer. The main character in Outcast deals with school and home bullying, too.
DeleteWhat a great idea for a blog. I'm heading over to Moxie Writers now. And, both of these books sound fantastic and will be added to my TBR list. :)
