I didn’t know this blurb existed until I looked inside the front pages of my ARC for Other:
“Other has it all: love, shifters, pookas, and nail-biting action. What’s even better, Kincy’s characters are vibrant, real and lovable. This is a debut that leaves you aching for more.” — Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of Need and Captivate
This was like finding an unexpected, un-smushed chocolate truffle under my pillow. I’m thrilled that the lovely and talented Carrie Jones enjoyed reading my novel. And every time I realize Real Live People (to be more exact, Super Fantastic Authors, and soon Super Fantastic Reviewers) are starting to read Other, I am possessed with an urge to get up and do a crazy hoppy voodoo dance to dispel my nerves. Little homework is being done. But I am happy.
It’s also really weird to crack open a book you wrote, and see all the words looking fancy and bookish, with little curlicue flourish things between the scenes and fancy chapter headers. Reeeeeally weird. I wonder if experienced authors get used to it, or keep blushing and giggling like I’m doing.
I <3 this book
So, I know I’ve mentioned that I love Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause very, very much. My first copy got so beat up from being reread that it looks like a werepuppy gnawed on it. I bought a new one, eventually, with the gorgeous cover art I remembered. And now, since Other seems to officially be up on the Flux site, I believe I can share a never-before-leaked blurb for Other:
“This who-done-it is an unusual blend of mystery and fantasy, starring original characters not often featured in modern urban fantasy for teens. I really enjoyed it.”—Annette Curtis Klause, author of Blood and Chocolate
Squee!
