Fall for the new New Adult: is a campaign to spread the word that New Adult
is expanding into new and exciting categories like
Historical, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Gothic, and more! Follow along
to find out why best-selling NA authors & NA bloggers are excited to see
New Adult expand outside of contemporary.
And as an incentive to give the new NA a try, the Fall for New Adult bundle set
will be available for a limited time. Set includes 4 great non-contemporary NA
novels for only $3.99!
My Journey: When I first wrote SLEEPER, New
Adult wasn’t the emerging category that it is today. This left me, and my
manuscript in limbo. An agent asked me to make the MC, Mishca in high school so
it was clearly YA (as college/university stories didn’t sell back then). But
that would mean removing the plot point that sparked the whole novel in the
first place: Mishca falling in love at first sight with her university
professor. Workable with a university age MC, not with a high school aged MC.
So imagine my excitement when the New Adult
Category started coming into it’s own. Books like LOSING IT, SLAMMED and EASY
captured the hearts of the NA hipsters, but now it’s Genre’s turn to shine. Historical,
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Speculative Fiction and mash-ups in between are
coming to the fore thanks to stories like Elsker and Apollo Academy.
SLEEPER will follow in a few weeks time, coming to
an eReader near you on December 2, 2013.

I bought this a week ago and have read 3 of the 4 so far, and so glad I tried them! Love Eyre House and Speak Easy. (and btw, the frames cut off the left side of this post on my monitor)
