{blog tour} LIV, FOREVER: An Interview With Amy Talkington

It has been a while...but I am excited to announce Watercolor Moods' first blog tour stop for the year, for the much-buzzed about Liv, Forever by Amy Talkington. Disclaimer: I still haven't gotten the chance to properly delve into my review copy, but the promise of a spooky, atmospheric mystery is one that I probably won't be able to resist for much longer!

Thanks to the lovely Meredith Barnes at Soho Teen, I was able to have Amy answer a few questions for the blog. In addition, if you click on that little banner up there, you'll be able to see the USA Today reveal of Amy's trailer!

Enjoy!
  

How were you inspired for the idea of Liv, Forever?

The idea came from a bunch of things piling up in my brain at once. 

First, I just had this character I wanted to write: Liv. 

Secondly, I’ve been interested in ghosts for a long time so... I started to think about what kind of a ghost story Liv might be a part of. I got really excited about the metaphors a ghost story affords—the idea that she had to die in order to fully learn to live (and love). 

And, finally, when I was thinking about all this, the Occupy movement was happening and I was really struck by the great divide in our country—between the 99% and the 1%. I wanted to tap into that. I don’t want to give it away but I can say that divide—and the feeling so many people have that the 1% would do almost anything to stay on top—comes to play in the school’s mythology and conspiracy. 
  
Which character, if any, do you feel closest to?

Liv. Like Liv, I had some attitude and bravado when I was in high school but when it came down to it I was pretty terrified to be emotionally vulnerable. So, I wrote from a really honest emotional place. And, I was also an artist and just pretty obsessed with art like she is. 

Were there any bizarre areas of research or strange occurrences that you experienced while writing this story?

Well, there were some crazy coincidences that helped me piece the final mystery together but it’s hard to talk about them without giving things away. So, let’s see if I can handle this in a cryptic way. Basically, I’d never even heard of the Celtic Samhain tradition when I started writing the book. I stumbled upon it as I was trying to flesh out Elijah’s interests and it was just so insanely perfect in every way right down to the time of year it was practiced.

On a completely different note, I found an interesting document AFTER I finished the book. When I was looking for old photos from Choate (for a visual presentation), I came across a chart I’d made early in college called “How I Think.” The chart detailed my interests and obsessions and attempted to show how they are all connected. I was shocked to discover how much I was into the stuff Liv is into… Keats, Duchamp, Pollock, Warhol, etc… They’re all there. Of course I knew I was into art but I’d completely forgotten how into Keats I was. But, of course. That’s why I gravitated back to him.

Is there another idea you will be pursuing after Liv, Forever releases?


Oh, boy. I’m pursuing so many ideas all the time. By day I’m a screenwriter so I have a bunch of projects in various phases of development. I’m currently developing Liv, Forever into a feature screenplay. I’m also working on one other feature script and two television projects. Book-wise, I’m trying to figure out what’s next. I have a very clear idea of a next book for Liv but I’m just waiting to see if there’s an appetite for it. 

Were there any particular places or background that inspired Liv, Forever?

I did go to boarding school. I went to Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. Choate is nothing like Wickham Hall. The only similarity is the Art Center. I definitely had Choate’s amazing Art Center in mind as I wrote those scenes. 

That was a very important place to me—I created so much there, I had my first solo show there, I sold my first paintings there—and so I loved giving Liv a similar setting to make her art. But, otherwise, it’s all completely fabricated. There are no secret societies at Choate (as far as I know!).
 
What do you want to particularly linger with readers? What do you think about Liv's story will particularly resonate - in spite of the paranormal elements that teenagers (rarely, if ever) will experience?

To me, the story is about learning to love. That’s really Liv’s journey—learning to love herself, her art, and others.  

Amy Talkington is an award-winning screenwriter and director living in Los Angeles. Before all that she wrote about music for magazines like Spin, Ray Gun, Interview, and Seventeen (mostly just as a way to get to hang out with rock stars). As a teenager in Dallas, Texas, Amy painted lots of angsty self-portraits, listened to The Velvet Underground and was difficult enough that her parents finally let her go to boarding school on the East Coast. Liv, Forever is her first novel.

Insomnia Blog Tour!

Once again, it's 'mea culpa' time, as I admit that I've forgotten what day I signed up for a blog tour. Yes, it's such a shame. Can you believe that college really is as hard as people say it is? 

In any case, I hope the awesomeness I'm bringing to your screens today will make up for my radio silence. Today (or rather, yesterday) I am featuring the incredible Jenn Johannson, author of Insomnia, which is actually dropping into stores today! In case you haven't heard anything about this debut (read: just returned from your epic vacation to Mars), here's the info:
  

It’s been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me.

Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp enters the dream of the last person he’s had eye contact with. He spends his nights crushed by other people’s fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets—and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion is crippling him. If nothing changes, Parker could soon be facing psychosis and even death.

Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. Parker starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia’s eye every day. Everyone at school thinks he’s gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it’s Parker.

Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is him after all?

Neat, right? And it also gives you a nice excuse as to why you're still devouring it past your bedtime: "IT'S INSOMNIA. IT'S MEANT TO BE READ AT NIGHT. UNDER THE COVERS. WITH BLOODSHOT EYES."

And if the blurb wasn't enough to convince you, let me just toss out a few names who read and adored this little monster: Elana Johnson. Carrie Harris. James Dashner.

YES.

To add on to the awesomeness descending on this blog, Jenn's found an awesome (and not at all made-up) commercial on the effects of insomnia. Pour your coffee, hold your eyes open and enjoy! 

J.R. JOHANSSON is a young adult thriller author published with Flux & FSG/Macmillan. Her debut, INSOMNIA, is releasing June 2013. She has a B.S. degree in public relations and a background in marketing. She credits her abnormal psychology minor with inspiring many of her characters. When she's not writing, she loves reading, playing board games, and sitting in her hot tub. Her dream is that someday she can do all three at the same time. She has two young sons and a wonderful husband. In fact, other than her cat, Cleo, she's nearly drowning in testosterone.

Blog Tour: The Flame in the Mist (and a guest post from Kit!)

 
Watercolor Moods welcomes another wonderful author, Kit Grindstaff, today for The Flame in the Mist Blog Tour (courtesy of The Mod Podge Bookshelf)! I've been wanting to ease out into middle grades recently, seeing as they did so much to shape me as a writer and reader when I was that age, and I'm so glad to start things off with Kit's guest post.

Talking about middle-grade Kaye, I can definitely say that feisty heroines were - and still are - something that I think should be available to every girl reader. Kit was a great sport and wrote a guest post that made me want to push everything to the side and bang my hand on the table Thor-style for The Flame in the Mist.

RIGHT NOW.

(Okay. You can feel free to just skip to the blog post now.)

As a reader of fantasy, I love a strong character—someone I can root for while getting exasperated by the flaws which keep tripping them up. Someone who might possess magical powers, yet is still human and fallible. Examples exist all over middle grade and YA lit, whether it’s Harry and his growing impatience as he edges into his edgy teens, Renee and her headstrong will in Alex Lidell’s recent debut The Cadet of Tildor, Lyra Belacqua from Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, who has an amazing propensity for telling elaborate lies—the flaw that is her gift—or light-fingered Conn in Sarah Prineas’s The Magic Thief.

So if they’re so human and fallible, what makes a fictional hero or heroine? Are they born to greatness, or do circumstances thrust it upon them? That question echoes the age-old Nature vs Nurture debate of Real Live Humans. The word “nurture” can be a bit misleading, since to me it implies caring, and it’s often lack of it that influences someone’s development. So really, “circumstances” is a better word. An analogy I like is that a child is like an undeveloped photograph; the potential is already fully formed (nature) but how it forms, or even how much, depends on what happens (nurture). Neither one nor the other accounts for it all; the developed picture is always an interplay between the two.

In The Flame in the Mist, it’s clear from chapter 1 that soon-to-be 13-year-old Jemma despises the Mist surrounding Agromond Castle. She fantasizes a world beyond it, where sunshine reigns—a world which has been described to her by her erstwhile nursemaid and confidante, Marsh. Jemma is a dreamer. Her evil captor Nocturna even refers to her as having been “dreamy-headed” all her life, leading Nocturna to doubt that Jemma has the evil in her bones that would make her choose to come over to the dark side—in other words, her nature decrees otherwise. In the eyes of Jemma’s arch-nemesis, Shade, this dreaminess also makes Jemma weak, and worthy of scorn.

“Dreamy-headed” is hardly the stuff of a heroine, though…unless, like in Jemma’s case, it’s paralleled by her having prophetic nightmares. She’s more than just a starry-eyed girl staring out of windows and longing for something different: her blood is the blood of Visionaries, and provides her with an innate sense that Something is Wrong at Agromond Castle. She knows she is essentially different from the family she believes to be hers…and for good reason. She is. Nature rules—so strongly, in fact, that she’s resisted all attempts by the Agromonds to win her over to the Dark Side.

But at the beginning, her nature is not very developed. Without a catalyst, she might stay at the castle and never be heard of again. What better as an agent of growth and change than a little life-or-death challenge thrown at a hero or heroine? When Jemma discovers the very real and great danger she’s in, she has to pull courage from her core like a rabbit from a hat—and fast.

“Throw adversity in your protagonist’s path” is something that any aspiring writer hears along the way. And just like in real life, adversity is what forces growth in fiction. Keep up tension by hurling one monster after another (literal or metaphorical) at your main character, and they can’t help but change. Bottom line, when it is life or death, if they don’t meet the challenge, they’re a gonner. Jemma faces jaws of…well, I won’t say what; but she keeps having to call upon something she’s already learned and assimilate it by using it, and comes out the other side that much stronger.

The Inner Hero’s growth can happen in subtler ways too. For example, when Jemma does her first real healing, it requires a different kind of courage and conviction from her. Her responses to outside forces, called up from the depths of her, in turn strengthen who she is as bit by bit she steps into the shoes of the Heroine. They were always there, waiting for her, but she has to take the steps, and then fill those shoes.

Not that those changes come easily, or without resistance, or without a price. There’s always that moment where a character can’t or won’t take on the mantle of their mission. Adding to that, there’s those delicious human flaws which can—and should—trip up the worthiest hero or heroine over and over again. Those flaws are a character’s default, and often is a part of their gift, as with Lyra Belacqua, whose lying gets her out of tough situation, or Conn, whose thievery starts him on his path of Destiny. Jemma is headstrong and stubborn, which are gifts that often help her survive. But part of being human means learning to discriminate: when does such a characteristic serve our heroine well, and when not? Often Jemma’s stubbornness means she doesn’t heed advice, which lands her in hot water.

People have asked how much Jemma is like me. In some ways, her experiences are metaphorical versions of my own; inner demons translated into outer ones on the page. But she’s feistier and braver than I ever was. At 13, there were many geese I wouldn’t have said “boo” to, and Jemma says “boo” to far worse than geese. And she has powers I’ll never possess. Although who knows, if I’d been trapped in a damp castle in mortal danger, maybe I could have pulled a few magical rabbits out of my hat, too. Somehow, though, I don’t think it’s in my nature. 

Kit Grindstaff was born near London, and grew up in the rolling countryside of England. After a brush with pop stardom (under her maiden name, Hain) she moved to New York and embarked on her career as a pop song writer. Kit now lives with her husband in the rolling countryside of Pennsylvania. She is a member of the SCBWI. The Flame In The Mist is her first novel.

The Symptoms of My Insanity Blog Tour (Q&A with Mindy!)

Hey, everyone! Another awesome blog tour is stopping at Watercolor Moods today, courtesy of Penguin and YA Books Central. Writer, comedy performer, and musician Mindy Raf is making her YA debut with The Symptoms of Our Insanity. In case you don't want to make a detour at GoodReads to find out more, here's a summary:

A laugh-out-loud, bittersweet debut full of wit, wisdom, heart, and a hilarious, unforgettable heroine.

When you’re a hypochondriac, there are a million different things that could be wrong with you, but for Izzy, focusing on what could be wrong might be keeping her from dealing with what’s really wrong.

I almost raised my hand, but what would I say? “Mr. Bayer, may I please be excused? I’m not totally positive, but I think I might have cancer.” No way. Then everyone at school would know, and they would treat me differently, and I would be known as “Izzy, that poor girl who diagnosed herself with breast cancer during biology.”

But Izzy’s sense of humor can only get her so far when suddenly her best friend appears to have undergone a personality transplant, her mother’s health takes a turn for the worse, and her beautiful maybe-boyfriend is going all hot and cold. Izzy thinks she’s preparing for the worst-case scenario, but when the worst-case scenario actually hits, it’s a different story altogether—and there’s no tidy list of symptoms to help her through the insanity.

 Now, I don't know about you, but I think YA needs some more laugh-out-loud titles on the shelf. I mean, your teenage years (and your twenties, for that matter) are some pretty angsty times. Sometimes, you just need to find something to smile about. That being said, I definitely need to make a slot of time for this one! 

Mindy has actually agreed to answer my (intrusive) questions for our session today. I hope you enjoy them - Mindy's quite the character! (In a totally good way.)



So is any of Izzy based off you?

I think Izzy and I share a lot of broad-stroke similarities. We’re both a bit neurotic, self-deprecating in our humor, and tend to focus on others more than ourselves at times. I’m sure there’re parts of me in other characters as well. Like Alyssa (Izzy’s sister)—I’m a terrible driver and I would probably be the one giving Izzy tips on clothes and make-up.

As I was writing, some scenes felt very ‘Mindy-like,’ and others as if Izzy led me off in her own direction. The relationship between Izzy and her mom is a good example. Even though it’s very different than my own, I did draw on a lot of my own experiences with my mom being sick.

Oh and unlike Izzy, I’m terrible at art. In fact, my worst grade ever was from my Studio Survey Art 101 class senior year.

Ouch. Well, how did you get into writing from being a comedian?

I write all the material I perform on stage, so I was always a comedy writer. I got into writing YA through stand-up. I met my editor Jessica Garrison at one of my shows. She randomly caught my act, we chatted a bit after, and then she reached out to me about writing YA. I think the fact that I was already writing comedy pretty consistently made it a natural transition.

That's a pretty cool transition! So what do you love most about writing YA?

I love writing and reading YA. There are so many fun and scary places you can take a story when you’re dealing with a brain that’s kind of still under construction.

What I love writing most is dialogue. I think when teenagers—and adults too—are trying to figure out who they are, they alter themselves ever so slightly depending on their company. I love the challenge of trying to bring out all the different degrees of a character through conversation.
What are some feel-good hilarious titles you can recommend?

I loved and still love Judy Blume. FOREVER, ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET. When I re-read her books I get into such a teen place and pumped to write. I recently devoured ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS and LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR by Stephanie Perkins. Her books get you into such a yummy, swoony, teenage crush, I-want-to-make-out-for-the-first-time-again place. WHAT’S UP WITH JODY BARTON by Hayley Long was a really fun and original read. Sarah Dessen’s THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER, is super feel-good and so well done. Oh so many more, but I’ll stop here. 

Yay, thanks for the recommendations! Okay, one more question...if you could go back to tell your teen self anything, what would it be?

Don’t waste time and energy worrying about what other people think. You’re great, just be YOU. Get out of your head, relax, and enjoy yourself a little more. Oh, and stop wearing those snap-crotch body suits. That’s just wrong.

The Ambuzzador Dualed Blog Tour! (Interview + Giveaway)

Hi guys! I am so excited to be part of the Dualed blog tour today. As a matter of fact, this post should have been up sooner, but I was under the weather for most of this morning + afternoon and it totally slipped my mind. My bad.

For those who haven't yet been exposed to the awesomeness that is Dualed, here's a reminder:

You or your Alt? Only one will survive.

The city of Kersh is a safe haven, but the price of safety is high. Everyone has a genetic Alternate—a twin raised by another family—and citizens must prove their worth by eliminating their Alts before their twentieth birthday. Survival means advanced schooling, a good job, marriage—life.

Fifteen-year-old West Grayer has trained as a fighter, preparing for the day when her assignment arrives and she will have one month to hunt down and kill her Alt. But then a tragic misstep shakes West’s confidence. Stricken with grief and guilt, she’s no longer certain that she’s the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future. If she is to have any chance of winning, she must stop running not only from her Alt, but also from love . . . though both have the power to destroy her.

Elsie Chapman's suspenseful YA debut weaves unexpected romance into a novel full of fast-paced action and thought-provoking philosophy. When the story ends, discussions will begin about this future society where every adult is a murderer and every child knows there is another out there who just might be better.

Intense, yes? And it's such an honor to have Dualed's very own author, Elsie Chapman, on Watercolor Moods today! I was allowed to ask three questions, and I hope that you'll enjoy the answers Elsie gave. (She's totally awesome.)


Hi Elsie! If you looked back at your writing journey now, is there anything you would do differently?
Hi Kaye! I think I would be more aware of the impact of social media and be more
careful with it. Not just in terms of how much time it takes to keep up with it, but
how certain aspects of it aren’t necessarily healthy. When I started DUALED, I
was on one writer’s forum, Absolute Write, and that was it. No twitter, no author
Facebook, no website, no blog. I didn’t even know YA had a community. I didn’t fully
realize that getting a book published often meant you were no longer a person but a
name.

So you'd definitely learn more about the community - good to know! After Dualed, what other worlds do you plan on exploring?
Probably something just as dark. I have some ideas I’ve been stewing over, but I
don’t know how far I want to pursue them—they might be too crazy.

If they're anything like Dualed, I know they will totally rock! did you get inspired to write a dystopian? Were there any challenges in taking up this genre?

It wasn’t that I was inspired to write dystopian as much as it just happened. I knew
when I started querying that the market for it was already very competitive. But I
had nothing to lose by sending it out—it was already written, my time already spent.
And I thought it was a bit different than the usual dystopian, so I had that on my
side. Obviously not all readers are going to like that, and that’s fine.

 Elsie lives in Vancouver, Canada, with her husband and two kids. You can find her on her official website, or poke her on Twitter (like I always do). 



Thank you so much for being such a good sport, Elsie! (FYI: If I'd been allowed more than one question, I'd probably have gotten around the embarrassing high school memories. Mu-wa-ha-ha!)

Be sure to follow along with the rest of the Ambuzzadors participating in the blog tour here - and remember, you have a chance of winning one of two Dualed ARCs during the tour. All you have to do is tweet that blog tour schedule and add on the hashtag #Dualed. As a bonus, I'm adding in one of my copies of Dualed, so if you comment underneath and are a follower of Watercolor Moods, you have one more chance to win! Good luck!

Blog Tour: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

I was so excited to be part of the official Shadow and Bone blog tour - so excited that, apparently, I missed my posting date by five days. *hangs head* Fortunately, the lovely Ksenia Winnicki allowed me to post anyway. So if you were looking at the schedule and wondering why Sunday's post wasn't up...mea culpa. All the way.

Anyway, today we have Leigh giving us a few makeup tips that even a Grisha can appreciate; and, after that little snippet of wonderfulness, there's a giveaway of Shadow and Bone so you can have the awesomeness all to yourself. You can put it on your shelf or under your pillow so you can have sweet dreams of Ravka, or take off the dust cover and frame it...

Enjoy!

When I wrote Shadow and Bone, I was working as a makeup and special effects artist in Los Angeles. I still love to talk products and beauty, and there are a few questions that seem to come up again and again. So here are some tips and tricks inspired by the world of the Grisha Trilogy. (Just so you know, I don't rep or sell any of these products. They're just favorites that I can't do without in my kit!)

Problem: Fabrikator pallor

Too many long hours spent slaving in the Materialki workshops? Avoid the sun, and opt instead for my favorite bronzer, DuWop Revolotion (in Original). This lotion works on even the palest skin, and will leave you looking moisturized, dewy, and sunkissed. Plus, it's not too heavy on shimmer, so you needn't worry about glittering like a Cullen.

Problem: Chapped lips from the icy winds of Tsibeya

For soothing dry lips I like Smith's Rosebud Salve or Aquaphor. Tip: Licking your lips when they're dry only dries them out more. Press your lips together to release their natural oils instead.

Problem: Late nights at the Grand Palace

Too little sleep and too much champagne? When you're feeling tired or sickly, focus on perking up your skin. Benetint is a long-lasting berry stain that works for pretty much every skin tone. Posietint looks crazy in the bottle, but gives a subtle, pinky flush. It also has a creamier consistency than Benetint, so it's a little less intimidating. Tip: Posietint darkens slightly as it sets, so apply one layer and wait a few minutes before you add on.

Problem: Smudged mascara

If you just found out your regiment is headed into the Shadow Fold, you may have good cause to weep-- but at least you can look good doing it. Blinc and Fiberwig are both tube mascaras that don't require a base coat. They're easy to apply and easy to remove, and as long as you don't rub your eyes, they won't budge.

Problem: You aren't a Grisha

I like the idea that doing what you love and excelling at it make you beautiful. So, when Grisha use their power, instead of draining them, it just makes them stronger, healthier, and better looking. But we mere mortals must contend with spots, blotches, and wrinkles. My recommendation? Try FaceAtelier's Ultra Foundation. This brand takes a bit of work to find, but it gives a natural, radiant finish. (Also, unlike most cosmetic lines, they don't treat women of color as an afterthought. Their wide range of shades accommodates any and every skin tone.) Tip: Apply with a synthetic flat or domed kabuki brush from Crown.

Problem: There is no magic makeover

How many times have I heard or read that "confidence" is the real secret to looking and feeling great? Well, sure. But has there ever been a better example of "easier said than done"? Where do we get confidence and does it require a prescription?

I still struggle daily with insecurities about the way I look, so I'm not going to pretend to have it all worked out, but here is my best beauty advice: If you want to feel pretty and generally badass, you don't need expensive products or an elaborate skincare regimen. You just need to acquire skills-- take up a sport, learn to cook, master a language. Feel capable. Be competent. This is the mystical wellspring of confidence that trumps shiny hair and bee-stung lips. It's better than lip gloss, and it lasts longer, too.
