I'm happy about the New Adult category getting some recognition. It doesn't really matter if publishing companies pick up on this, since it's the readers who are really in control these days anyway, right? I thought so. Anyway, I came across this incredible site called NA Alley a while back and wanted to get involved to help spread the word about NA. LG from NA Alley was amazing enough to interview me and the post went up today. Check it out at NA Alley.
A big thanks to LG and the rest of NA Alley for the support! You guys rock!
NA Alley Interview - New Adult is the new genre.
Or is it?
Books that fit this age group have always been around, but they are just now getting the correct label, if you're into labels.

3 More Tour Stop for Me Today!
Today is the last day of the week-long Blood And Guitars tour!
It's been a wild ride, and I've loved every minute of it.Tomorrow brings it's own kind of crazy.
Tomorrow is the official book-blitz release of Immortals And Melodies. While the book has been doing great, staying in the top 100 of 1 or 2 Amazon categories on and off, tomorrow is the day we really spread the word! But for today, the first stop is at My Guilty Obsession. There, you'll find a guest post, an excerpt of Blood And Guitars, the blurb for books 1 and 2, and a review for Blood And Guitars. Head on over and check it out!0
Here's a little taste of the interview:
BT: What inspired you to write your first book?
HJ: I was lucky enough to travel to historic Europe when I was 16. I’ve always been fascinated by the dark ages and medieval history, but visiting the castles and historic landmarks really inspired me to start writing about it. I wrote my first novel, The Rift, because of that trip. I can still remember exactly which chapters in the book were written on the long plane-ride home
BT: Which do you prefer to write – full length novels or short stories?
HJ: I’ve always been prolific so I tend to write only novels. Even as a kid my stories grew and grew until they were considerably too long to call a short story
BT: Do you have a specific writing style?
HJ: I think I write at my best when I write in first person point-of-view, but aside from that, my author’s voice is uniquely me and doesn’t change from story to story
BT: How do you come up with the titles for your stories?
HJ: My husband named my first novel, The Rift, which I didn’t publish until after I was married. The Blood And Guitars series was easy, since I was just combining my love for music and vampires, and I wanted the title to be catchy and edgy. I get a lot of comments about how much people love the title, and I’m just happy people have the same passionate response to it that I do. After I chose Blood And Guitars, the other titles for the rest of the books in the series just came naturally

Blood And Guitars Goes On Tour
A book tour, that is.
0
In the interview, I answer questions such as "What was your first lengthy piece of fiction?" and "If you could meet one of your characters in real life, which would it be?" and more.
For the interview in its entirety, hop on over to Andy's Blog.
I want to thank Andy for the chance to participate in his Same Six Questions interview series. The questions were fun and thought-provoking.
*Side note: I missed posting a Guitar of the Week this week, but it's only because I've been doing so much work on Immortals And Melodies. I'll be leaving town in a few days for Spring Break, but I'll try to post while I'm gone. Until then!
