That scary-looking guy there to the left is a fellow author and a great friend. Yeah, he's trying to look mean, but he's actually a really nice guy (don't tell him I told you that).

He has a new book coming out soon, but you should also check out his novel Progeny in the meantime. As part of my blog tour, I had a stop there writing a guest post all about writing YA s

When I first got the idea for my novel, Sapphire, I had no intention of making it a YA story. I had been watching a TV show about ghost stories and saw a tale about a "vanishing hitchhiker" that I really liked.

Chapter One: Field Work Christopher Farraday stood at the opposite end of a large grassy field. He had an eager look on his face. Katie Albright, standing across from him at that moment, was starting to hate that expectant look. It meant that Christopher was sure that Katie was about to develop some new aspect of her abilities.
