Abites - today on the blog I'd like to
introduce you to a brand new author - one to watch out for! Her name is Tammy
Morea and her new book August Moon is coming
in May 2014.
Isn't the cover gorgeous?
Welcome Tammy - please tell us about
yourself...
So here’s my
story….
For as far back as I can remember I have loved to read books, thanks to
my Mom an avid reader herself. During my middle school years, I came to
fall in love with creative writing. I started writing poems and short stories,
and my favorite project was a book report, since it combined my two favorite
things: reading and writing.
When I was seventeen years old, I started thinking about maybe writing a
book of my own, one day. A few years later, I’m twenty one years old,
daydreaming on a train ride from my home town on Long Island to Manhattan and
this scenario just pops into my head, it was brief and minimal, but it stayed
with me all day. On the train ride home, I jotted it down on a napkin from
Dunkin Donuts and kept in the drawer of my nightstand.
Over the next year or two, I would take out the napkin and read it; the
plot started to grow in my mind, and I would write ideas down, thinking this
would be a good book to write one day. But, then life happened, I got married
at twenty-four and my family became my priority, my dream of writing a book,
got pushed to the back burner.
Fast forward fifteen years later, I am in a miserable marriage and very
unhappy, but stuck and quite honestly afraid to be on my own. So as usual I
would just lose myself in a book, falling into a different world, a world so
much better than my own.
I heard all this buzz about this book called Twilight, I looked into it
and thought, a vampire YA book? Not for me. But the buzz just kept growing, and
I thought, why not try something new? I looked at is a new world for me to get
lost in.
What happen to me after opening that book, completely changed my life!
First of all I couldn’t get enough of the Twilight story; I eagerly awaited the
next books in the series to come out; I was enthralled. But something else
happen to me, actually two significant life changing events took place after I
read the last page of Breaking Dawn.
·
One, I left
my husband. The love story between Edward and Bella opened my eyes to the kind
of love I wanted and to the kind of love I deserved.
·
Two, I sat
down with a pad and a pen and finally wrote my book, it only took me two months
to write it. I couldn’t believe how easy it was for me to create my story. August
Moon is the product of those few sentences I wrote down on a Dunkin Donuts
napkin, so many years ago.
Books have always been there for me, the way I look at it, they kind of
saved my life. So I am honored to contribute a story of my own, I hope you all
enjoy getting lost while reading the pages of August Moon, as much as I did
writing it.
Wow - thanks Tammy. Now won't you tell us a
little more about August Moon?
August Moon is a YA Romance Novel….. coming in May of 2014
What do you do when the one who broke your heart, is the only one who can
fix it?
There is nothing in this world stronger than the powerful emotion of
being in love.
Except, maybe the paralyzing pain of a broken heart.
Moving to a small unfamiliar beach town in the summer before her senior
year of high school is really going to suck. Raven, a black-haired beauty, from
a well- off family was certain about that.
Miserable in her circumstance’s, nothing could convince her otherwise,
until Raven meets Quinn, a local with a love for surfing and a bad reputation
to go with it.
Despite the very different worlds they live in, their desire for each
other is undeniable.
Raven’s fears and misery start to vanish as she and Quinn fall deeper and
deeper into each other.
Raven is unknowingly used as a pawn, in a turn of disastrous events,
caused by Quinn’s older brother and his dealings with some very dangerous
people.
Quinn must convince them that Raven means nothing to him.
Quinn has only one choice to keep Raven safe. Hurt her, hurt her so bad
she may never forgive him.
The events that follow could silence Raven’s heart for eternity and
completely destroy what’s left of Quinn’s soul.
August Moon is a captivating story of young love.
Bringing two unlikely hearts together.
Only to be shattered by one tortuous decision.
Putting these star-crossed lovers on course for the ultimate challenge of
forgiveness.
A little Bio...
I love to read Romance, Chick-lit, Fantasy, Paranormal, YA and a good
Auto-Biography never hurt anyone. I love all animals, but I have a weakness for
dogs. Just ask my dog Tank, he’s my heart…he’s a big mush, I bite his face all
day long and he lets me. I also love mini pigs, one day I will have one, my
fiancĂ© Chris doesn’t think so, but what does he know? I think I’m an amateur
photographer, but really I just like to take pictures and sometimes they come
out good. I love riding on the back of Chris’s Harley, it’s my favorite form of
transportation. Tattoos are sexy, I have seven. I pretty much love anything
with a skull on it, but I also love pink girly stuff too. I have a green thumb,
I can cook my ass off, I love to be active. I come from a big, crazy Italian
family and I wouldn’t want it any other way. And just because I want to give
her props, I think Marilyn Monroe is the sexiest, hottest bad-ass bitch in the
history of sexy, hot bad-ass bitches.
