Nina Rossing

Today, I am hosting Nina Rossing for the YA Scavenger Hunt! We both love the number 13, which has always been good luck for me. Welcome, Nina! I’ve never been to Norway, though the fjords look gorgeous.

Nina Rossing lives in Norway, where the winters are long and the summers short. Despite the brilliant nature surrounding her, she spends more time in front of her computer, or with a book in her hands, than in the great outdoors – though you may find her out on her mountain bike if the weather is good.

She prefers creating young adult stories where obstacles are overcome and endings are hopeful. Her debut YA novel SUPERMASSIVE came out in 2014, and her second novel FJORD BLUE was published in March 2016. Her next YA, MICK & MICHELLE, will be available in late fall 2017.

Find out more information by checking out Nina’s website or find more about her book Fjord Blue by following the links below!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

FjordBlueFS

Seventeen-year-old Benjamin is shipped off to work on his grandparents’ remote farm in the fjords of Western Norway for the summer. It’s not like he didn’t deserve it. After all, he crashed his dad’s vintage Bonneville in a car-chase duel on a Miami freeway.

Norway is cold and rainy, the farm is desolate and resists modernization, and the grandparents are quiet and religious. On to the scene waltzes Even, the eighteen-year-old farmhand, who counters Ben’s restlessness and complaints with friendship, fresh perspectives, and secret problems of his own.

As the friendship deepens, the two boys learn that secrets can turn into both beautiful and ugly truths, and that support can be found in unexpected places.

Today Nina brings us an inspiration board and playlist for Fjord Blue:

    I love wolves so being a wolf shifter would be amazing, but I also love eagles and an eagle shifter would be super cool!

  2. Werewolves although I’ve read a few books with people to shapeshift into a dragon or a dragon-like creature that are rather interesting.

    LOVE the Fox Mug by the way! SUPER CUTE! It reminds me of the Jelly the Pug Fox dress I got my daughter.

  3. I love seeing how different media interprets and portrays werewolves! They’re basic enough that most everyone knows about them, but the powers and drawbacks they all get is so fascinating!

  4. Do stone gargoyles coming to life count as shapeshifters? I mean, they might still look the same depending on which story you read, but they are my favorite.

  5. I love foxes too and that mug is just the cutest! 😀 I’m definitely a fan of fox or wolf shifters. Thanks for taking part in YASH and for the giveaway.

  6. i’m a bit of a traditionalist in this and love wolves. it helps that wolves are among my favorite animals.
