Eden
Trapped within the cruel world of
hormones and bullies, fifteen-year-old Aiden is convinced life has more to
offer him. His instincts are proven correct on the night he is awakened by a voice
calling to him from outside his window. As he sleepily peers into his yard, his
eyes slowly focus on a woman who says she is there to take him to Eden. Aiden
is about to fulfill the life purpose he never knew he had.
In this action-packed fantasy tale,
romance, adventure, and intrigue surround Aiden as he learns just what he is
capable of when he discovers confidence and courage.

Eden-West
New beginnings, new conflicts, and new
adventures arise in the second installment of the Eden Series, Eden-West.
Months after his initial journey to Eden,
Aiden is learning to cope with his own transformation. His social status has
changed, his friendship with his best friend Ethan is in jeopardy because of
it, and worst of all, he has heard absolutely nothing from his new friends in
Eden. What has become of the world he fell in love with? Are his friends safe?
Is the war over? With no answers, and no hope for contact, Aiden decides to
focus on his life in his world.
Just as he makes this decision, he
encounters a familiar bright light and thinks he knows exactly what it means.
Except the light isn’t at all what he expects and neither is the person behind
it. When Aiden returns to Eden, it is to a whole new part of that special
world, and a whole new set of adventures.
Weeks after Aiden was returned to his own
world, Elisa is sent to Nysa, the revered Southern city, to retrieve the one
thing she’d rather avoid – Wolf. Captain Turk instructed her to get in and get
out - but that is easier said than done. When she finds her missing friend, she
also stumbles upon a great deal of trouble. This trouble goes by one name –
Markus, the leader of the Sun People.
Follow all your favorite characters as
they ready themselves for battle and fight for a world threatened to be
destroyed.

The betrayal that tore a family apart.
Two brothers bent on destroying the other. A whole world on the brink of war.
Aiden has been through his second battle
in the magical world of Eden. The victory is short lived and Aiden is sent
racing toward his friends in the Capital. After being back in Eden with the
Riders, he is eager to reunite with Wolf, Elisa and Logan, although he doesn’t
realize just what he’s returning to. Surprises await him when he arrives in the
Capital; his close-knit group of friends is slowly falling apart. On top of it
all, another battle is just around the corner, one that will change everything.
Rain has made her choice, and now she is
in some unknown fortress with the feared sorcerer, Aziz. She wants nothing more
but to please him, but being his Queen isn’t as easy as she thought. While
trying to learn sorcery, and dealing with Aziz’s advances, Rain is finding her
new life a bit overwhelming. Just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, she
discovers a secret of Aziz’s, and it is nothing she could have expected.
Rose has supported Callum throughout
their journey, but now that the final battle is just around the corner she is
faced with a hard reality. Everything she has gained with him could be taken
away. Is she willing to live the rest of her life without him? Can she just
stand by while he destroys everything, including himself? Will he ever be able
to find peace? Will she?
In the third installment of the Eden
Series fates will be decided, and the battle between brothers that has been a
decade in the making will finally come to an end. Only one of them can be High
King.
The battle starts now.

Sounds amazin right??? well guess what... It it!!!!! now,now I invited Janelle today to talk about something we all think about but rarely (Yeah right) discuss... Sex in YA and NA. *Muahahaha* (That´smy evil laugh BTW)
Karla, my Spanish rose lol, has asked me to come on here today for a guest blog. Her topic of choice is my opinion on sex in YA and NA books. So obviously there’s some hesitation from authors to put a lot of sex in their YA books. I think this is why NA has become so popular. If you’re labelling your book NA there’s an expectation there that the audience reading it will be older, therefore it’s safe to put as much sex as you want in it. I’m sure there are still plenty of young adults reading NA books, but that’s neither here nor there.
In YA, authors tend to have to be a bit careful. As a reader this annoys me, probably because I have questionable morals and I’m always rooting for the main characters to do it. I’m not joking. I think if I was a fictional character I’d be a total slut lol Am I the only one who screams at the girls who hold out on hot guys to just get it over with? Am I also the only one who read the part in Twilight where Bella and Edward finally do the deed, and wondered if my copy was missing pages? Seriously, I flipped the page back and forth wondering where the hell the actual sex went! Of course I’m 27, so it’s okay for me to read that sort of thing. Considering the adult books I read, it’s no surprise I expect these things from YA.
But, as much as I would like to read all the spicy deets, there definitely needs to be a line drawn when your audience is younger. Some authors like to push it, like the House of Night series. Another example of a series where I’d be a total slut lol Was I the only one that wished for her to sleep with her teacher, and then first pumped the air when she actually did?! The whole time I thought to myself “If I were her, I’d totally do that hot teacher!”And she did! Ha ha ha, best thing ever. Of course I’ve heard a lot of people talk about this series in particular, and how they think those boundaries are pushed just a little too much.
Perhaps it’s just a matter of personal choice. I find myself in this situation with my own books. How far can I push it? What’s appropriate? I even asked Karla for her opinion as I wrote my last book of the series. Of course, when I’m writing I’m also thinking to myself, “Grandma and Grandpa are going to read this…” Things could get awkward…But that’s just my concern. Maybe other authors could care less what their grandparents think. I think that in the end including sex, if it makes sense with the story and isn’t just thrown in there as a gimmick, is fine for YA books. The act itself can be hinted to, but definitely not too many details. For books that push the envelope I think NA is a good alternative home for them. And no, all you naysayers, NA is not porn for kids. Just like Fifty Shades isn’t porn for mommies. It’s a medium between adult and YA and I don’t see the problem with that. Having sex in a book doesn’t automatically make it smut. So in conclusion, since really I was just rambling my personal thoughts this entire time and didn’t really say anything worth much, I’m going to end it by agreeing that sex can be in either genre, YA or NA, however the depth of it must fit with the genre. In the meantime, while I read YA books that don’t give me enough details, I’ll just continue to elaborate those scenes with my imagination ;)
