Gretchen McNeil Anna Carey Two prominent names in Southern CA young adult fiction come to visit us with their newest releases! Anna Carey, author of the renowned Eve Trilogy, studied creative writing at NYU before getting her MFA in fiction from Brooklyn College. Blackbird’s a protagonist has no memory of herself, but a curious tattoo on her wrist bears the likeness of the titular bird and the code: FNV02198. While this is mystery enough, the bigger question she faces is why everyone seems to want her dead. Before she was delivering splashes of YA horror, Gretchen McNeil was an opera singer and voice actress, most notably the voice of Mary on G4’s animated program Code Monkeys. Her fifth novel, Get Even, centers around a group of girls who have formed “Don’t Get Mad,” a secret group responsible for seeking revenge on bullies and crooked teachers. But when a dead body bearing a “DGM” card is found, it looks like someone wants revenge on them.

Preorder Get Even and receive something super special!

From Gretchen's blog:

In order to get the word out about my first-ever series, and as a thank you to you, the amazing fans who have been so supportive over the years, I've gotten special permission from my publisher to release the first two chapters of GET DIRTY on September 16th.

Why two chapters? Because a huge, massive, game-changing plot twist is dropped in the very last line of Chapter 2.

The chapters will be printed up in a signed, special edition booklet, along some Get Even bonus material and a signed Don't Get Mad bookplate.

Kendare Blake

Gretchen McNeil

Jonathan Maberry (Fire & Ash, Extinction Machine) calls Kendare Blake’s Antigoddess “... a riveting and chilling horror thriller that deftly blends ancient legends with modern horrors. Highly recommended.” Maryelizabeth agrees and you can find her review of Antigoddess on the bottom of this page. For former opera singer Gretchen McNeil, writing seems to be a natural career change. After all, opera is a form of telling tragic and dramatic stories through music. Gretchen, who also sings with the Los Angeles based circus troupe Cirque Berzerk, and is a founding member of YARebels, switches genres for her latest YA novel, 3:59, moving from horror to science fiction.
