YA Month - "A Book and a Chat with Jessica - Chick Lit Teens Blog"

January is YA Radio month on A Book and a Chat, with special guest throughout the month, not only authors but bloggers as well.

When I am lucky enough to get a YA Blogger on my show as a guest, I sometimes ask them why they started blogging. My guest today started because of her love of the three "R's" though in her case it's "Reading, Writing and Ranting". This can all be found at the home of today's special guest on YA MONTH - "A Book and a Chat", Jessica who writes in the blog "Chick Lit Teens" another of the people I call the "Sham-Wow" of YA literature.

Though we never found out about Jessica's love of the Gilmore girls, nor why she might want to color her hair pink (you'll have to hunt for that information). We did learn much from this great young blogger. including how she started blogging, and the thrill of receiving a request for her first review.

Jessica chatted about some of the books from 2009 she'd really enjoyed and a few titles she is looking forward to reading in 2010.

Covers and trilogies, blogs and interviews all were covered in this entertaining and educational thirty minutes.

Though she is very secretive about her own writing, which she completed on the last day of 2009, she did share that it's received a favorable review... so keep looking... you never know!

So why not sit back and enjoy tonight's show "A Book and a Chat with Jessica from Chick Lit Teens Blog".

YA Month - "A Book and a Chat with Tirzah (Compulsive Reader Blog)"

January is YA Radio month on A Book and a Chat, with special guest throughout the month, not only authors but bloggers as well.

My guest on today's YA MONTH - "A Book and a Chat" was one of the YA bloggers I call the Sham-wow of Young Adult LiteratureTirzah who writes in the blog "The Compulsive Reader".


The show as normal was full of interest and entertainment and Tirzah shared with us how her love of reading had lead her to produce not only her blog, but reviews and book trailers amongst other items. In fact there seems no stopping her. With over a thousand book, I'm sure she'll have her own library soon.

Many interesting questions were put to Tirzah from people in the chat room, to which she supplied some really interesting answers.

During the show we learned about her favorite books both ones she reads as "comfort books" as well as sharing with us not only her most enjoyed books of 2009 along with some she is looking forward to reading in 2010. We also found out that Tirzah would have loved to have been around in the early twentieth century, chaining herself to railings and shouting "votes for women".

YA Month - "A Book and a Chat with Bree Despain"

January is YA Radio month on A Book and a Chat, with special guest throughout the month.

My guest on today's YA MONTH - "A Book and a Chat" was BREE DESPAIN author of "THE DARK DIVINE" which had it's launch party just a few days ago.

Like all good times when you are enjoying yourself, this one hour special just seemed to fly by, being both a fun and educational sixty minutes.

During the show we learned about how life and directed Bree along the various byways to find her true calling of producing, this her first, but certainly not her last novel.

The Dark Divine has received rave reviews about her book full of suspense and mystery, characters with unexpected depths, a romantic plot yet with twists and turns that keep the reader wanting to turn the page. And all the time as the tension continues to build you'll learn more about the supernatural elements and the creatures in this fantastic YA novel.


Bree shared with us her experiences from her writing and having Egmont as a publisher, to her book launch where King's English Bookshop or TKE in Salt Lake City, where so many people turned up it was standing room only, how some people even had "Dark Divine" t-shirts. the book stored which actually "asked" if they could host the book launch, and despite extra copies of the book sold out on that day. They even baked special purple halfmoon cookies for the event.

During the show Bree divulged the writing of a second and possibly a third novel about the more in the lives of the Divine family as they deal with their problem and Grace and Daniel learn to accept and cope with the differences between them.

And why does Bree dream about large lumps of cheese covered in honey?
