Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying, E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. 17-year-old Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim's stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can't help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she'd never really do that. But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who's more than willing to listen to Kim's woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along, that is, until Kim's ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal, Kim will have to commit a murder or take the fall for one.

You have to listen to this interview...I can't explain but JP and I had the most amazing conversation. We had a great time. When I asked JP her fun fact, she told Keepin It Real that she and her husband just received their scuba diver license on their honeymoon. AWESOME.. I would love to scuba dive but I'm afraid of sharks. Therefore, JP has been writing fulltime for 12 years and she loves every moment. I think the best part is sitting in her pajamas and drinking coffee is a dream..lol JP has always loves fantasy and supernatural since she was a child. The reason why JP loves writing is because it fulfills and entertains her. She wants to inspire and let other newcomers or beginners in writing that you should never give up, don't compare yourself to other writers and be true to yourself & your story. JP novel Blood Mark is such an awesome novel. LETS KNOW MORE ABOUT JP: JP (Jo-Anne) MCLEAN writes urban fantasy and supernatural thrillers which have received honorable mentions from the Whistler Independent Book Awards and the Victoria Writers Society. Reviewers call her books addictive, smart, and fun. Her work includes endorsements from award-winning and best-selling authors, E.E. Holmes, Jennifer Manuel, Elinor Florence, Jennifer Anne Gordon, and Eileen Cook. JP is a graduate of the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business.

When she's not writing, you'll find her cooking dishes that look nothing like the recipe photos or arguing with weeds in the garden. LETS FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE NOVEL BLOOD MARK: What if your lifelong curse is the only thing keeping you alive? Abandoned at birth, life has always been a battle for Jane Walker. She and her best friend, Sadie, spent years fighting to survive Vancouver's cutthroat underbelly. That would have been tough enough without Jane's mysterious afflictions: an intricate pattern of blood-red birthmarks that snake around her body and vivid, heart-wrenching nightmares that feel so real she wakes up screaming. After she meets the first man who isn't repulsed by her birthmarks, Jane thinks she might finally have a chance at happiness. Her belief seems confirmed as the birthmarks she's spent her life so ashamed of magically begin to disappear. Yet, the quicker her scarlet marks vanish, the more lucid and disturbing Jane's nightmares become—until it's impossible to discern her dreams from reality, and Jane comes to a horrifying realization: The nightmares that have plagued her since childhood are actually visions of real people being stalked by a deadly killer. And all this time, her birthmarks have been the only things protecting her from becoming his next victim. YOU HAVE TO GET A COPY OF THE NOVEL.

Who doesn't want to get paid to spend their work days lost in magical worlds with a bunch of imaginary friends? Yes, you've guessed it, today we're going to talk about making your full-time author dream come true by examining what it really takes to step up and become a business owner who day-dreams for a living. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet. The road to authorly independence requires a lot of working hours, a system put in place to avoid things like writer's burnout. Not to mention balancing finances and staying sane while figuring out how to slay dragons, give an emotional wound to a talking tree your readers can relate to, and craft the perfect happily ever after. In this episode Eileen Cook—co-author of Full Time Author:  provides tips and tricks to get you to the point you want to be by explaining why a body of work is so important for your writing career, highlighting the top skills you need to master if you want a shot as a full-time author, and sharing how you can create a system that keeps you accountable and lets you do the most important thing there is: write down words, sell your stories and start the next phase of your writing adventures.

In this episode, we get started with a conversation about resistance, and how that operates in our creative process. And then we tackle building complex characters, and increasing conflict in our stories with special guest—bestselling author Eileen Cook.  Counselling psychology has a lot to offer writers when it comes to getting to know your characters really well, and helping ensure they are well developed and consistent. Conflict is a key piece of good stories, and we discuss many ways to develop and increase it. Internal vs external conflict, environment, beliefs, roles and the “hole in their soul”, how to be mean enough to our characters, how to smooth out conflict once you've built it up, and how your characters can solve their problems in new ways. And always, always put your reader first.  We wrap things up with a discussion of indie vs traditional publishing, and what similarities there are between the two routes.  Show notes, transcripts and resource links available from https://strategicauthorpreneur.com/podcast/010-conflict-and-character-building-with-eileen-cook/

Jenn and guest Kelly Jensen discuss reads about anxiety, foodie books, Disney read-alikes, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

The more I read, the more I find myself getting emotionally sucked into books about a dark or otherwise serious subject matter told from a child’s/teen/young person’s point of view. Examples would be Room, and To Kill A Mockingbird. I love “reading between the lines” and picking up on subtle hints and clues to what’s going on in the story, rather than outright descriptions told from an adult or omniscient narrator. I’m a mental health therapist and I work predominantly with teenagers who have been through some sort of, so it’s kind of obvious where my pull towards these books comes from. The book doesn’t have to be about major traumatic events (abuse, neglect, rape, etc), just serious subject matter that a young person is dealing with and trying to interpret and work through. Thank you so much!!!! -Alissa   2. I am looking for African-American, Bi-sexual, and women with disabilities, literature. I love fiction, some fantasy some siFi, romantic suspense, and both mysteries and thrillers. oh and classic literature, and women’s fiction. Some Young Adult is okay. No Paranormal, or aliens having human babies, no cloning, and weird stories. yuck! I am blind so the books must be available in an accessible format. -Melissa   3. Hello. I work at a nonprofit hunger relief organization and am looking for recommendations for our staff book club. Specifically, I am hoping you have some ideas for a graphic novel or graphic nonfiction book about any of the following topics, ideally in combination: food, nutrition, nonprofits, social justice, equity, or inclusion. We have read two books so far, Big Hunger and Behind the Kitchen Door, and have a good list of future options, but I thought it might be nice to try something less wordy at some point. Must be appropriate for discussion in a work setting. Can be something we could read all at once or in installments. Thank you for the tips and for the amazing show! -Leah R   4. I love watching documentaries (my favorite film genre) and reading non fiction as well as science fiction. I recently read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot and loved them both. Currently I am reading Going Clear by Lawrence Wright and loving it as well. (Side note, if you haven’t seen the HBO documentary made from the book you are truly missing out) I am worried I wouldn’t be able to find any more weird non fiction & science fiction to read once I am done with Going Clear. Any suggestions would be super helpful. -Kiirah   5. Hi, I’m always on the lookout for great book recommendations for my amazing niece. She loves YA fantasy (Throne of Glass is one of her favorite series) and Disney. Her favorite princess is Mulan, so she really likes strong female characters. She’s African American, so I would love to find a book for her featuring a non-white protagonist, since they are underrepresented in fiction and thus hard to come by. Any help you can give me is wonderful. I hate to give her gift cards for her birthday or Christmas because it feels so impersonal to me. Thanks, -Heather   6. So I need help trying to find books similar to my favorites. I LOVE Marcus Zusak, author of “I Am the Messenger” and “The Book Thief”. I love the writing style, the quip literary remarks, the funny quotes and how the actual physical writing is different (fonts, margins, etc.). I also enjoy how closely I become connected to the characters. They are ones I won’t soon forget. They are both books I’ve read and recommend to everyone and now I’m looking for other books that are as similar to him as possible. -Dallas   7. Hello! I was recently diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I’m hoping you can recommend some books that have characters with that diagnosis or something similar. I am not picky whether it’s YA, or fantasy, or whatever, but I do tend to lean more towards YA. A memoir would be particularly interesting.
