#Wattpad Wednesdays

Want to sample a new book? Or are you looking for that next big indie author? Just want to share a little writing of your own? Wattpad is the answer. Check out these two YA finds I staked out on Wattpad this week:

YA HorrorDrowned Silence by Amy McNulty

Living in a home dripping with silent tension, lonely teen Dylan finds refuge at school—until Kelsey is assigned to be his class project partner.

Kelsey, the school outcast, is allergic to water, dresses in Gothic Lolita fashion and refuses to use technology from past the 19th century, which makes working together difficult to say the least.

Invited to Kelsey’s house during her sister’s Halloween party, Dylan uncovers a frightening connection between Kelsey and a death that took place on her property years before. 

A serialized YA contemporary horror short story from the author of Nobody’s Goddess (the Never Veil Series). Kelsey and Dylan’s story is over after Part 3. This collection includes three bonus UNRELATED, one-shot short stories: Five Bucks, Ego Cafe and All the Living and the Dead.

Read the story here, on Wattpad.




Contemporary YASticky Notes by Geri Ami

Sean Collins and Shairaleigh Winters were never meant to cross paths. They were supposed to graduate, go to their respective colleges and never see each other again. But, all thanks to a pad of pink sticky notes, a special bond was formed between the two. Thanks to a small piece of paper with a strip of adhesive on the back that allows attachment or removal from a surface, sparks flew and suddenly, they became so much more the mere strangers that they were supposed to be.

Read the story here on Wattpad.

#FridayFandom: Author Interview with Amy McNulty

Today I have Amy McNulty, YA fantasy author of Nobody’s Goddess (Month9Books) & Fall Far From the Tree (Patchwork Press). Amy also writes weekly for Anime News Network. So cool! We’re lucky to speak with her today.

1.      Tell us about your book in 140 characters or less.

Amy: Noll, in love with her best friend, is nobody’s goddess until she uncovers the secrets behind the lord of a village of masked men.
We Read YA: I loved this book! It had me at its opening line:
When I had real friends I was the long-lost queen of the elves.
Read the rest of the prologue on  Wattpad or buy your own copy through Amy’s website with the provider of your choice.

2.      What would be the theme song for your book?
Amy: “Within You” by David Bowie from Jim Henson’sLabyrinth.
We Read YA: Labyrinth! Definitely a great match, both mysterious and dark

3.      Our last “M” post was on Monsters. Who/what is your favorite monster?

Amy: Cookie Monster
We Read YA: “Cookies!” **poor attempt at Cookie Monster voice**

4.      What are you currently writing?

Amy: I’m serializing a dark YA fantasy, Fall Far from the Tree, on Wattpad and will eventually release it as a paperback and e-book through Patchwork Press. I’m also working on revising Nobody’s Lady, the sequel to Nobody’s Goddess, which will be out April 12, 2016. My newest project is a YA suspense about an ace girl with face blindness.
We Read YA: Stop right there. Who doesn’t love a sequel. But Wattpad! It’s the best. What a great place to find samples of YA books. Plus, we get to read all ofFall Far from the Tree as you release the chapters? Woohoo!!

5.      What are you currently reading?

Amy: I just finished Cress and Fairest by Marissa Meyer and am working on The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. (I will read Winter soon, though!)
We Read YA: Both on my #TBR lists! Great taste.
