1 Year Blogoversary Day 4 Kelly Creagh Q&A with Giveaway!

Today on the 4th day of my Celebration I bring you 
Kelly Creagh Author of Nevermore!





Kelly stopped writing for just a min. to answer some questions for my awesome followers!




SG : I absolutely fell in love with Nevermore, how many books are you planning on writing to go with this?

Kelly : Nevermore is a planned Trilogy. Enshadowed will be the second installment which has lots of twists and turns and revelations!



SG : Can you tell us about your ideal writing space?

Kelly : There is a local coffee shop called Quills that I love writing at. Actually, I’m sitting there right now! When I begin drafting a novel, though, I usually do so best in private. Even though I have an office space, I usually write at my kitchen table. It’s the best when I have a cup of coffee and my dog, Annabel, curled up in my lap or nearby in her bed. She’s great writing company.



SG : Who are some of your favorite authors?

Kelly : I have so many! Joyce McDoland, author of Shades of Simon Gray, Robin McKinley, who wrote Beauty. I’m also a HUGE J.K. Rowling fan. She’s very much my literary hero. I think Poe goes without saying! I also get a big kick out of Charlaine Harris’s work and the Sookie Stackhouse books. One of my favorite books of all time is Phantom by Susan Kay. I read it when I was seventeen and that book affected me on such a deep level. I’d always been a reader, but I think that book was the one that made me fall in love with books to the point where I always had to have one!

SG : Where is the one place you would like to visit in the World?

Kelly : New Orleans is one of my favorite cities ever. Though I have traveled there before, I have not been back since Katrina. I would like to return there soon, though. I have a deep love for New Orleans. As far as places I’ve never been? I think I would love to go to Germany. California would be way fun, too!


This or That:

Eat in or Dine out?

Dine out. If I can get a good home cooked meal? Dine in.

Ebook or Real Book?

REAL BOOK! I have to hold it. That’s part of the experience!

Movie Theater or Rent a movie?

Movie theatre! I love going to movies. 


Kelly thank you so much for taking the time off writing to answer questions...

Review: Nevermore by Kelly Creagh



Young Adult
Published August 31ts 2010
paperback 543 pages

From Goodreads:

Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life.

As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares.

Review: 5x5 *with glitter, confetti, and some cheesecake thrown in!!


Ok I normally try not to but I may go a little fangirl here. Not since I have picked up Twilight to read *and NO I am NOT comparing the two!!* have I felt this way for a book! I literally wanted to crawl inside this book and live in the amazing story. This has also officially become my new Favorite book :) 


The Goth and the Cheerleader....hmmm she made it work and made it believable. There is no ohhh dreamy love at first sight stuff here, which is refreshing. Isobel and Varen are well thought out and realized characters. You are actually going to care deeply what is going on with them, I know I do. The secondary characters are also very interesting and believable, liking some of them and hating them in the next minute. Some of the scenes with Isobel's friends are ones that I have seen similar things happen in real life and that was great!


Poe....Oh who doesn't like a little Poe? I love how she used him and wove him and his life/death into the story... you have to read it to understand it as I am not telling you :) The scenes that play out are vivid and as Isobel says at one point... The words disappear and you feel like you are seeing it instead of reading it.     GET IT , READ IT , FALL INTO IT..... no really now drop what your doing and GO!
