Blog Tour: Modern Monsters by Kelley York

Modern Monsters
by Kelley York
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Release Date: 06/02/15

Synopsis:

Vic Howard never wanted to go to the party. He’s the Invisible Guy at school, a special kind of hell for quiet, nice guys. But because his best friend is as popular as Vic is ignored, he went…

And wished he hadn’t.

Because something happened to a girl that night. Something terrible, unimaginable, and Callie Wheeler’s life will never be the same. Plus, now Callie has told the police that Vic did it. Suddenly, Invisible Vic is painfully visible, on trial both literally, with the police, and figuratively, with the angry and judgmental kids at school. As the whispers and violence escalate, he becomes determined to clear his name, even if it means an uneasy alliance with Callie’s best friend, the beautiful but aloof Autumn Dixon.

But as Autumn and Vic slowly peel back the layers of what happened that night, they realize that while the truth can set him free, it can also shatter everything he thought he knew about his life…

One of my favorite things to do with every book release is to share my playlist. Music didn’t play as big a part in Modern Monsters as it did for, say, Suicide Watch, but I still had a blast compiling this. Especially since the romance plays a bigger role than in a lot of my other books, there were a lot of songs I felt accurately portrayed all the things happening between Autumn and Vic, as well as the other main characters.

"I like unicorns and cats and games...and stuff..." - quality author quote by Kelley

Kelley York was born in central California, where she still resides with her lovely wife, step-daughter, and way too many cats, while fantasizing about moving to England or Ireland. (Or, really, anyplace secluded.) She has a fascination with bells and animals and Disney. Her life goal is to find a real unicorn. Or to at least write about them. She occupies her spare time with video games,designing covers, playing on Tumblr, and watching anime.

Kelley is a sucker for dark fiction. She loves writing twisted characters, tragic happenings, and bittersweet endings that leave you wondering and crying. She strives to make character development take center stage in her books because the bounds of a person's character and the workings of their mind are limitless.

Because something happened that night. Something terrible, unimaginable. And now, the victim has told the police that Vic did it. Suddenly, Invisible Vic is painfully visible, walking through halls at school filled with hostility and violence seething just under the surface. Vic is determined to find out what really went down at that party, even if it means an uneasy alliance with the victim’s best friend, the beautiful but aloof Autumn Dixon.

But as Autumn and Vic slowly peel back the layers of what happened that night, they realize that while the truth can set Vic free, it can also shatter everything he thought he knew about his life…

Blog Tour: One Wish Away by Kelley Lynn

One Wish Away

by Kelley Lynn

Publisher: Bloomsbury Spark

Release Date: November 11th 2014

Synopsis:

Be careful what you wish for…

Lyra has always been ahead of the curve. Top of her class in school, a budding astronomer, and with a best friend like Darren she barely has time to miss the mother who abandoned her family years ago. She's too busy planning to follow in her father's footsteps, and to become the youngest astronomer at Space Exploration and Discovery.

When a star goes missing Lyra is determined to get to the bottom of it only to discover her braniac dad is the mastermind of a top-secret government experiment. They promise to build a perfect world, one galaxy at a time, but with every tweak of the present, a bit more of the future starts to crumble.

Lyra has to go undercover to reveal the truth and let humanity decide if the consequences are worth more than wishing on a star.

I inhale the dry night air as if I could pull the stars from the sky and feel their fire in my chest. My loud exhale causes Darren to raise his head from the telescope. His sympathetic brown eyes meet mine. “Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the best interview in the history of interviews. But give yourself a break. It was your first one.” 

            I let him have the telescope. I’m too busy wallowing. Now, thanks to the nightly news, all of Arizona has seen that interview. 

Don’t they do editing for things like that? Couldn’t they have made me look a little less like a stuck-up, know-it-all? Even I hate myself after watching that interview.

            “I looked like a total nerd. A loser. Self absorbed. I studied really hard.” I mock the words I said and tuck my hands into my flannel shirt.

            Darren shrugs. “You are a nerd. And that’s why we won.” His lips curl into a light smile. “But you’re not a loser.”

            I give a halfhearted nod and twirl my hair. A few pieces are stuck in my fingers so I discard the strawberry blonde strands out the tree house window. 

            Keeping my eyes on the stars, I say, “You guys all did really well. I should have said that.”

            Darren sits next to me. “If everyone knew you like I do, they’d know you’re not self absorbed… most of the time.” 

            The corner of my lip tugs. 

            I reach over and pull his beanie over his eyes and then push him so he rolls farther back into the tree house. Before he can see again, I jump to my feet and rush to the telescope, trying to put on a stern face. “If you’re not going to look, I will.”

Eventually the day came when the voices in Kelley Lynn’s head were more insistent then her engineering professor’s. So instead of turning to her Thermodynamics book, Kelley brought up a blank page on her computer screen and wrote. Somewhere along the way she became a Young Adult author.

Kelley was born and raised a Midwestern girl. She’s not afraid to sweat and fills her free time with softball, soccer and volleyball. (Though you probably don’t want her on your volleyball team.) She occasionally makes guest appearances as a female vocalist for area bands. Music plays a large role in her writing process as well as the characters and plot lines within her stories.

You can find Kelley hanging out at her blog, titled in her name, as well as the group blog she shares with her fellow critique partners, Falling for Fiction. Kelley is a member of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators.
