Winner of 2012’2 Turning The Pages Book of the Year award!

Red mirrored scales race up my arms as the haze of pain blurs my vision. My bones crack, breaking to realign. I scream. It is then that the realization of my unavoidable fate sinks in; I am of a dying race. I am dragon.
Aurora Megalos, orphaned and teetering on the edge of adulthood, thought finding her past would curb the sting of being an outcast. Having no memories of the time before she awoke on her foster mother’s doorstep, she yearns for the emptiness inside her to be filled. With her fellow orphaned best friend, Fenn, by her side, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. But something powerful stirred within her that she couldn’t explain. Something wanted out.
In the dark of night, a crazed Seer, dubbed Mr.Creepy, erases everything she’s ever known with an impending prophecy. She now faces two paths. Return to her true home to protect a dying race against a growing evil, or stay hidden in the safety of our realm with a shot at a true love. With a vengeful Arch Enemy stopping at nothing to see her dead, she’s running out of time; a decision must be made. What would you choose?
Preface:
The call of the orb was strong now that it rested in my hands. A song thrummed in my chest as I felt the veins in my neck beating wildly. Looking at it now, the change wasn’t as scary as I had thought it would be. Even with knowing that I could be staring my possible death in the face. The question was—would I be strong enough to sustain these powers given to me? Maybe I was just scared of The Fates choosing my destiny, or maybe I was scared that what was about to happen would forever change my life.
Either way, growing up I had always hoped that my life would mean something more than just being a foster child, but this, this was much bigger than anyone could imagine. And what lies ahead? Well if it’s anything compared to what I am going through now, then I expect my life to fall into a whole new level of crazy. And I think it may be just what I was looking for.

Who are you publishing with?
48fourteen is the name of my publisher.
Did you design that beautiful cover yourself?
Actually no, I didn’t. My cover artist is Ravven found by my publisher 48fourteen.
Here is her website on Deviant Art:

She is extremely talented and I was so pleased with the cover. She picked Aurora right from my brain.
It’s amazing! I’d definitely pick that up in a bookstore!
Wow, thanks! But it’s ebook only for now. I went with an ebook publisher with the possibility of going to print if it sells well. Fingers crossed
Candace,
Thanks for the like and good luck on the book Sales, Candace!

Wow! Can’t wait to read this! Awesome blog by the way.
Thanks so much! It should be out soon. And thanks for stopping in. Your blog is awesome too. I’m subscribed now.
My pleasure! I love reading novels and I definitely think yours will be one of my faves. Let us know as soon as it is out!
Wow! Thanks!
I definitely will.
Great idea, very thought provoking indeed. I see you wrote in your comments box, you chose to go with an ebook publisher. Is that common nowadays? I’m really undecided with what to do when my YA novel is 100% finished.
Thanks for heading on over to my page, appreciate the ‘like’ on my blog post
Hey! No problem and thanks for the compliment.
I think it is growing more and more common to find epublishers. The bigger publishing houses that are still pushing out books are harder to get into and usually require an agent. But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Go with what feels right. Try submitting to all varieties unless of course, your stuck on one avenue.
Good luck to you!!
your name on the cover of the book you wrote … that’s the epitome of awesome!!! sincere congratulations and thanks for providing always-needed inspiration!
I know right!!!! I freaked when I received the final image and it went live on my publisher’s site. It’s all hard to believe! And now I’m up on Goodreads…I swear.
