If you stop to think about your lifeβs story, as a whole, youβll discover each
layer is composed of many chapters filled with mystery, romance, relationships,
and outcomes β both good and bad. There are innocent moments that take your
breath away and if youβre lucky, instances that will define you. When I look
over my own lifeβs story, I always stop on my college years as a favorite
chapter. One packed with its own set of angst, friendships, heartbreak and
insanely fun moments.
As a writer, itβs those new adult experiences that fascinate me the most. These
are the years when you truly are just starting out in life. Youβre in a
transitional period between adolescence and adulthood, one where you tend to
experience love and friendships on a completely different level. Eighteen to
twenty-four is an amazing time where anything and everything seem possible. The
world is completely open for you to create your own journey, make your own
destiny and figure out whatβs worth fighting for.
New adult books explore these levels of emotions, relationships, and journeys.
The stories written in this genre can be darker in themes, edgy and raw when
dealing with a more mature and emotional side of relationships because your
protagonists are in the 18-25 age bracket. Itβs for those reasons I chose to
write
REVELATION, and all books really within
The Revelation Series, as a new adult paranormal romance.
In my opinion, having my protagonist, Eve Collins as an eighteen-year-old
college freshman, allows me to delve into deeper levels of her emotions,
reactions and opinions. Iβm able to write her at a different stage of maturity
that I could not have, had I made this series young adult. At its core
The
Revelation Series is a love story, the kind of love thatβs your first
real love. Not infatuation, or innocent attraction, but soul moving love. Yet,
these characters are also at an age where βreal lifeβ becomes a struggle.
Loyalties, obligations, duties, family expectations and sacrifices are normal
everyday happenstances.
Self-discovery that comes only with independence and mature thought processes
usually rears its head around this time. The mundane details of everyday life
and responsibilities are a normal running theme with this age category. All of
these hurdles are what
The Revelation Seriesβ characters face as
new adults throughout each book. New adult readers grew up on young adult
fiction and just like these characters, simply are trying to find their way in
the world with a hint of modern romance.
The Revelation Series includes:
REVELATION,
RESTRAINT and
REDEMPTION (releasing 12/15/14).
