Young Adult Paranormal
Seventeen-year-old Dylan Kennedy always knew something was
different about him, but until his mother abandoned him in
the middle of Oregon with grandparents he’s never met, he
had no idea what.
When Dylan sees a girl in white in the woods behind his
grandparents’ farm, he knows he’s seen her before...in his
dreams. He’s felt her fear. Heard her insistence that only
he can save her world from an evil lord who uses magic and
fear to feed his greed for power.
Unable to shake the unearthly pull to Kera, Dylan takes her
hand. Either he’s completely insane or he’s about to have
the adventure of his life, because where they’re going is
full of creatures he’s only read about in horror stories.
Worse, the human blood in his veins has Dylan marked for
death...

win it. Thank You

This sounds very interesting. Would this be considered suitable for high school students? Is this going to come out in paperback? My sister has a bookcase overflowing with books for her students.They love this type of book.
(Kathleen Bianchi 10:17am July 31, 2011)
I got all my questions answered on Good Reads. Congratulation on a near perfect score!! It really makes me anxious to read this book.
(Kathleen Bianchi 10:23am July 31, 2011)
I love the cover, too.
(Kathleen Bianchi 10:25am July 31, 2011)
The story sounds great. And while I am not a writer, my favorite characters from my favorite books tend to "live" in my head as well. That is what makes them great.
(Pam Howell 10:26am July 31, 2011)
I would love to read this book, it sounds like it would be interesting, thanks for the chance.
(Colleen Jensen 10:51am July 31, 2011)
My friends and I discuss characters from books much the way our
grandmothers did their favorite soap opera stars--as if they
are people we intimately know and see each week at the grocery
store. Doesn't everyone?
(Lisa Richards 11:58am July 31, 2011)
That is so well written! I wonder though if your characters ever try to redirect
their story in your mind or your writing. Do they ever talk to you? Yes, you have
to believe they are real or perspective could be "off". I like the whole idea of this
story.
(Sandra Spilecki 12:02pm July 31, 2011)
I love how you get so emmeshed with your characters... it must be a great read, I'm looking forward to it.
(Sheila Calabretta 12:06pm July 31, 2011)
I was immediately pulled in after reading the excerpt of your book, and I definately have to get a copy of it somehow!! I can also understand how you have that one-on-one relationship with your characters, and keep them alive, and close to your heart. I would feel the same way if I were an author. Congratulations on your book. I'm sure it's going to do very well, since I've never recalled an author take a story line in this direction. I can't wait to read the entire story!!
(Peggy Roberson 12:09pm July 31, 2011)
The book sounds great, I'd love to read it.
(Wilma Frana 12:10pm July 31, 2011)
Wow, Shea. I'm totally awed by your writing.
(Lucianne Rivers 12:10pm July 31, 2011)
Shea, I get the same question from my family -- you know they're not real, right? And like you I have to take a moment to consider this.
Your book sounds very interesting.
Cheers,
Rayka Mennen
(Rayka Mennen 12:17pm July 31, 2011)
The book sound intriguing. The excerpt got me curious about the story. OK, I want to read more of the story. The excerpt got me hook.
(Kai Wong 12:44pm July 31, 2011)
I would love to read your book, it sounds really good.
(Debbie Penny 12:51pm July 31, 2011)
Whew, Shea! Talk about hyperventilating! I was doing just that as I read
through the excerpt of your new book, The Marked Son. All I wanted was for
the rest of the book to be right there where I could finish reading it. What a
great story. I'm really looking forward to getting the book and finding out
where all of this goes. Congratulations on what promises to be an excellent
read!

I am an avid book reader and I must tell you that your works are "AWESOME!" yours is one of those few writers with the God given talent to pull the reader into the story, not just pulling but holding the reader captive until the final page is turned. I thank God for writers such as you and I am very Thanful that you are in the profession that you are in. Thank you for what you bring to the table, because it IS worthy of reading page for anticipated page!
(Ronald Riedel 1:17pm July 31, 2011)

(Jeanne Sheats 1:33pm July 31, 2011)
This sounds like a great read!!
(Michele Powell 1:45pm July 31, 2011)
I'm On!! Whew, talk about stressful. I'll be popping in and out all day. Thank you all for being so enthusiastic about The Marked Son. Dylan is a great guy and Kera is really cool and I can't wait for people to get to know them.
(Shea Berkley 2:53pm July 31, 2011)
Kathleen,
Thanks for stopping by. The Marked Son is considered an Upper YA, but I have no doubt most high school kids are reading stories with far more mature themes than this one. My policy is: if in doubt, read it first and then offer it to a child you think will enjoy the content.
(Shea Berkley 2:55pm July 31, 2011)
Amy: I try really hard to write well. It ain't easy. I hope you enjoy the story.
Pam: The golden rule of writing is to make the reader fall in love with the hero/ine or want to be the hero/ine.
Colleen: Thanks for dropping by.
Lisa: I remember my sister going totally ape over General Hospital and really getting attached to the characters and what they were doing. I think it's very similar with our favorite book series. I know I enjoy talking about them to my friends.
(Shea Berkley 3:00pm July 31, 2011)
Sounds like a great read.
(Shirley Nienkark 3:15pm July 31, 2011)
Sandra: YOu bet my characters will argue with me. I listen, take into account what they want and then weight my options and pick the one that has the most conflict.
Sheila: Thank you. I hope it's a great read!
Peggy: You're so sweet. Thank you. I try to take a familiar story and spin it in an original way.
Wilma: Thanks for stopping by!
(Shea Berkley 3:47pm July 31, 2011)
Lucianne: Thank you. I'm glad you liked the excerpt.
Rayka: Thankfully, my family humors me and they don't mention my talking to myself.
Debbie: Thanks for stopping by.
Connie: I'm glad you enjoyed what you've read so far. I can't wait for everyone to read more.
Kai: Yay! You're hooked. Whew!
(Shea Berkley 3:50pm July 31, 2011)
Marjorie: I shall endevour to invent craziness as long as I can. :)
Ronald: You're so sweet to say such nice things. I hope the rest of the book lives up to your expectations.
Desiree: Thank you.
Tracy: I'm glad you liked the excerpt!
Jeanne: Oh, I'm so glad you liked what you've read so far.
Michele: Thank you for stopping by!
(Shea Berkley 3:54pm July 31, 2011)
Shirley: Thank you. I hope you like it.
(Shea Berkley 3:54pm July 31, 2011)
Wow. Very interesting sounding book. Thanks for the excerpt
(Lisa Kendall 4:06pm July 31, 2011)
How to create a character is a way of taking something from everyday living and tweaking it a bit. Partly because many people get mad if they see themselves in the book portrayed with a quality they choose to not see or believe. I think imaginination adds layers and interest.
(Alyson Widen 4:20pm July 31, 2011)
Dreams are a very intriguing topic. Very interesting excerpt. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck and happy writing!
(Tracie Travis 4:36pm July 31, 2011)
I think characters in the books I read are frozen when I stop reading or pause and it's only to save them I get back to them as soon as possible. Doesn't this work for everyone?
(Fresh Fiction 5:38pm July 31, 2011)
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT BOOK AND I PUT IT ON MY MUST READ LIST!!!
(Jennifer Beck 6:38pm July 31, 2011)
Lisa: Thanks. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Alyson: That's a great way of looking at character.
Tracie: Thank you. And thanks for dropping by.
Fresh Fic Babe: LOL. Yeah. It's like freeze tag. Close the book, everybody freezes until you open it up again.
(Shea Berkley 6:48pm July 31, 2011)
The book sounds great!
(May Pau 6:51pm July 31, 2011)
Wow! Very interesting!!!
(Robin Daily 7:08pm July 31, 2011)
Characters in books aren't real? No!? The thing is, a well written book comes to life and so do the characters.
(Jennifer Beyer 7:32pm July 31, 2011)
May: Thank you!
Robin: I hope everyone likes it... (bites nails)
Jennifer: I agree. If done well, the characters can become your friends and you can't help but care for them.
(Shea Berkley 9:38pm July 31, 2011)
Characters are real to me!
(Lisa Garrett 9:42pm July 31, 2011)
Sounds wonderful. I cant wait to read it.
(Patti Paonessa 9:49pm July 31, 2011)
Lisa: Amen, sister!
Patti: Thank you. I hope you enjoy it.
(Shea Berkley 12:58pm August 1, 2011)

Boone: I can't wait for launch day either. So excited!!
