Jacey thinks her life is worthless, when she finds herself in a psychiatric hospital after a failed attempt to end her life; her wounds miraculously healed. Devin, who claims to kill on touch, is also there. When Michael arrives, bearing telekinetic powers, he insists the government, and an even darker, more powerful force, wants them dead.
In a desperate attempt to escape for their lives, the three teens find they must confront an even greater adversary, themselves - and with a prophecy forced upon them, they must find a way to accept their fate, or rebel together, as one.

She has always been considered the 'dreamy' one with her head in the clouds. She now lives in Nevada with her two sons, a cat, and a rat named Sam.

Interview
As far as
authors go, I love Cassandra Claire’s flare for characterization and
storytelling. Although, I didn’t start reading her work until after my first
book, Caged Moon, was into the editing phase. My original inspiration stemmed
mostly from Maggie Steivater’s Shiver, Melissa Marr’s Wicked Lovely Series.
Julie Kagawa, and her Iron Fey Series are definitely a favorite of mine now.
Yes, once
my parents realized the seriousness of my writing, they became some of my most
forefront advocates. My boys two little boys are also probably my best cheer
squad.
All the
time. They never shut up and sometimes we even argue when they want to go in a
direction that I hadn’t planned. The happened numerous times over the course of
writing, The Prophecy. They told me to
throw out my book outline numerous times. I finally gave up on that. ;)
It
honestly depends on my mood. Sometimes
it’s hard for me to focus with music on, because I end up listening to it
instead of zoning in on the writing, but sometimes it helps set the mood if I
can put into the ‘background’ and focus. It can aid the emotional mood of a
scene. If I do have music on, it’s usually non-vocal thematic music from
movies.
Yes! The
Prophecy is the first book of a series. There is a book two in the works. I’m
also finishing up Book two to my Caged Moon Series, which will be out shortly.
Right now, we’re looking at an early April release date.
I have two little boys
that keep me pretty busy, but when I do find time to myself, I always enjoy
watching a good movie/tv show. I’m hooked on The Vampire Diaries, and
Supernatural. I also love reading, and have recently taken up Zumba.

Interview
1 Did you always know you wanted to be
a writer?
No. I
wanted to be an actress and an Olympic Equestrian Rider first. Funny thing is,
in fourth grade I wrote my first ‘book’. It was about horses. Although, the
equestrian dream has fizzled over the years, I do think my love of acting helps
greatly in developing and feeling out the characters I write.
2 What authors inspire you?
3 Is your family supportive of your
writing?
4 Does your characters talk to you
when you’re writing?
5 Do you like it quiet or do you need
noise when you write?
6 Are you currently writing anything?
7 What do you do when you’re not
writing?
Excerpt 3
“We need to head down to the lower
floor. The crematorium is off of the cell block.” He rolled his emerald eyes at
me, with a toying smirk. “Yeah, I know. Figures, huh?” He mock shivered. “Kudos
to them on the ominous creepy. They should get a job in some underground
Italian horror flick.”
I gently side-checked Michael with my
elbow, giving him a mock glare. I couldn’t believe he was trying to find humor
in this. Devin could be cooking alive right now.
“What, you don’t find it funny?” he
asked, and this time the weight of my gaze was real. Michael shook his head,
tossing me a weak, sympathetic half smile. “Oh come on. We can’t let them get
to us, Jacey, love. It’s how they win.”
I sighed. “No. I know. I just feel
guilty.”
“It’s okay, Jacey,” he said, bumping me
back through his cloak in the arm. “It’s called surviving.” He paused and
swallowed. “Devin would want that for you.”
He turned from me, before I could
respond, hitting an elevator button on the side wall. I found the fact that
they had elevators in this strange, alien place rather weird, but my focus
stayed on Michael. He didn’t look at me until the sliding metal doors had
opened and he slipped inside. Extending his arms in welcome, he grinned against
the fluorescent lights. “Welcome to Instant Death. For those who may be
pregnant or have severe motion sickness, please kindly step to the left so that
you may die a horrible death in another way and not on this crazy, insane
mission.” He grinned.
“Did they hurt you?” I asked, my tone a
bare slip from usual. .
Michael stared at me, his arms seemingly
frozen in their outstretched pose, as if he didn’t even know how to respond.
“Michael?” I asked, stepping into the
elevator in front of him. The silver doors swished shut behind me, and the
lights above our heads flickered.
“Don’t ask me that.”

succes tuturor participantilor am auzit lucruri interesante despre ea
mi se pare cunoscuta cartea. am mai vazut-o pe goodreads
succes tuturor participantilor :D
fata de pe coperta imi seamana putin cu sookie din true blood :D
mie mi se pare ca fata seamana cu autoarea, nu?
Da.Si mie mi se pare ca fata acea seamana cu autoarea.Oricum mi se pare foarte dragut interviul si amuzant .
mda mi-ar placea sa aflu ca modelul e autoarea dar nu cred ca e
Am mai vazut cartea asta pe un blog acum cateva zile si chiar mi-ar face placere sa o citesc. Pacat ca nu pot participa decat pentru ebook
Poate vom avea ocazia sa o avem si la vreo editura de la noi..daca va fi atat de placuta.
Ar fi ceva. Dar pentru a reusi sa o aducem in Romania ne-ar fi de folos mai multe persoane care au citit-o pentru a organiza o campanie de publicare. Dar cum multi n-au citit-o, doar din auzite si din descrieri nu ar fi foarte ok.
nu prea imi plac acest gen de carti
