1. A girl faces her greatest fear--the ocean--to protect those she loves from watery graves.
2. For fans of The Scorpio Races, and those who like their history with a sprinkling of unusual mythology and sea monsters.
3. My next project is unrelated to Fear the Drowning Deep; it's called Reign of the Fallen, and is the first in a YA epic fantasy duology with Razorbill. It's about a bi necromancer badass of a heroine who must decide whether to save or help destroy the change-averse nation crumbling around her.
S.A. Larsen, Author of Motley Education
1. A misfit medium learns self-acceptance and friendship while breathing life into a dead spirit world.
2. Motley Education is Keeper of the Lost Cities running amuck with The Blackwell Pages in a boneyard of spirited friendships, skull-fuls of humor, and corpse-raising adventure.
3. I'm currently working on book two of the Motley Education series. Think Sleeping Beauty crossed with Sleepy Hollow ... and zombies.
Tricia Clasen, Author of The Haunted House Project
1. Andie pretends to be her mother's ghost in order to remind her family how to live.
2. For fans of Counting By 7's and The Thing About Fish.
3. I'm revising a manuscript about an imaginary friend who becomes real, and I began a story about what happens when a girl's wishes come true ... for other people.
Karen Fortunati, Author of The Weight of Zero
1. A realistic, honest and hopeful portrayal of one girl's high school experience complicated by mental illness.
2. [Edited response by Alyssa -- the author was stumped! In my opinion, this book must be incredibly unique.] =)
3. A young adult novel about mental illness through the eyes of a sibling.

ReplyDeleteI so want to read The Weight of Zero! I hadn't heard of it before but now it's added to my GR! I want to read Fear the Drowning Deep but I'm such a scaredy cat so I feel like I won't sleep at night lol

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this book! Fear The Drowning Deep sounds amazing, and if she recommend it for fans of TSR, I'm totally in!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to all of them, but in particular, Fear the Drowning Deep.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to The Weight of Zero! Iron Cast is a really good read, but I had a couple of problems with it.
ReplyDeleteI feel a bit sad that I didn't want to read any of these books, lol. But they do look pretty awesome even so :D And as always, your promo post is beyond gorgeous. <3 Thank you for sharing Alyssa :)
