Hey Guys!

Hey!

I'm moving next week and then shortly after we're going on a family road trip for about two weeks. Sadly, posts will be scarce until I'm settled about mid-July. I already can't wait to get back to blogging! See y'all then!

Author Interview - Rachel Coker

Hey everyone! Welcome to Writings of Rosie's first interview. I'm happy to say the wonderful Rachel Coker has agreed to do an interview despite her busy schedule! Woo hoo! For those who may have missed it, I reviewed her novel Interrupted: Life Beyond Words yesterday. Let's get on with the interview!

Tell us a little about yourself. :-)

Hi, I’m Rachel Coker! I’m sixteen years old and I live in Virginia with my parents and two younger sisters. This past March, my debut novel, Interrupted: Life Beyond Words, was published with Zondervan, and my life has been crazy ever since! I love writing and sharing my journey with others on my blog. I also love photography, piano, and, of course, doing interviews with fabulous people like Rosie. ;)

Aw, thanks! How were you inspired for Interrupted?

I started writing Interrupted right after my fourteenth birthday. It was right after my uncle passed away, and I was going through a difficult time in my life. I was growing up, becoming a teenager, and going through so many different emotions following his death. Confusion, bitterness… I didn’t understand why God would let that happen. But then, as I started developing Allie’s character and working through her story, it helped me with my own story, too. I grew as Allie grew. It was a really great experience.

Who is your favorite character from your novel?

I’ve heard a lot of different people talking about how much they love Charlie and Irene and, of course, Sam, but I’m just going to have to be clichéd and say that I really love Allie! One second she can be so bratty, but the next she’ll just melt you with her sweetness. I love how complex she is. That’s really interesting to me.

What's a quirky thing you do when or while you write?

I like to read the dialog out loud as I’m writing it. Sometimes my sisters will stand outside my door for a long time without me knowing and then burst into laughter, which can be kind of embarrassing, but it works! Reading the dialog aloud makes it flow much more realistically! That way, if something sounds awkward, I know how to change it!

If any fictional character could come to life (excluding your own) who would it be?

I always wanted to meet Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. When I was younger, she was my imaginary best friend. Even today, I think that I would get along with her just smashingly.

What do you do when you're stuck?
I take a break! Sometimes you just need to get away from writing and do something else. I’ll go days, even weeks, without writing sometimes. It helps clear my mind and get me re-energized. Then, when I get back to work, I’ll be able to see things with a new, fresh perspective!

Ah, yes. Stepping back does wonders for me as well! Lastly, where is your favorite place to write?

I always write in my bedroom. I sit on my bed and write in the evenings. It’s the only place I can think! I’ve tried writing on my couch or at the kitchen table, but I always get distracted by all the other stuff going on. Living in a house full of girls can be very, very distracting. ;)

I live in a house full of girls too. There is never a dull moment here. lol! Thanks for answering my questions!

Book Review: Interrupted: A Life Beyond Words by Rachel Coker

Summary:
Can love really heal all things? If Sam Carroll hadn't shown up, she might have been able to get to her mother in time. Instead, Allie Everly finds herself at a funeral, mourning the loss of her beloved mother. She is dealt another blow when, a few hours later, she is sent from Tennessee to Maine to become the daughter of Miss Beatrice Lovell, a prim woman with a faith Allie cannot accept. Poetry and letters written to her mother become the only things keeping Allie's heart from hardening completely. But then Sam arrives for the summer, and with him comes many confusing emotions, both toward him and the people around her. As World War II looms, Allie will be forced to decide whether hanging on to the past is worth losing her chance to be loved.

Book Review: Reckless Heart by Amy Clipston

Summary: 
Slipping. Lydia Bontrager's youngest sister is frighteningly ill, and as a good Amish daughter, it falls to Lydia to care for her siblings and keep the household running, in addition to working as a teacher's assistant and helping part time at her grandmother's bakery. Succumbing to stress, Lydia gives in to one wild night and returns home drunk. The secret of that mistake leaves Lydia feeling even more restless and confused, especially when Joshua, the only boy she's ever loved, becomes increasingly distant. When a non-Amish boy moves in nearby, Lydia finds someone who understands her, but the community is convinced Lydia is becoming too reckless. With the pressures at home and her sister's worsening condition, a splintering relationship with Joshua, and her own growing questions over what is right, Lydia could lose everything that she's ever held close.

Book Review: Code of Silence by Tim Shoemaker

Summary:
Telling the Truth Could Get Them Killed. Remaining Silent Could Be Worse.When Cooper, Hiro, and Gordy witness a robbery that leaves a man in a coma, they find themselves tangled in a web of mystery and deceit that threatens their lives. After being seen by the criminals---who may also be cops---Cooper makes everyone promise never to reveal what they have seen. Telling the truth could kill them. But remaining silent means an innocent man takes the fall and a friend never receives justice. Is there ever a time to lie? And what happens when the truth is dangerous? The three friends, trapped in a code of silence, must face the consequences of choosing right or wrong when both options have their price.

Book Review: Prism by Rachel Moschell

Summary:
He wanted to bring light to the world, but knew that along with it would come darkness…
Alejo is a leader in the Prism, a Muslim organization bent on fighting social injustice in his native Bolivia. His passion for God’s justice has always led him far away from the church and its dark secrets he has seen with his own eyes.
Until now.
The granddaughter of a Quechua villager and an Irish missionary, Wara Cadogan has South America in her blood. Her friends think she’s the ideal missionary in Bolivia, but they don’t know the truth: she betrayed her values, and it’s tearing her apart. When Wara and her best friend Noah collide with the Prism, she believes Noah is dead and Alejo is to blame. What can she say to the man who tried to kill her, then gives up everything to save her?

My Review:
What a roller-coaster of emotions! It took a while for things to pick up but once it did it grew harder and harder to set the book down.

This story mainly revolves around two main characters, Wara and Alejo. Wara is a missionary in Bolivia and while she has great friends and a good life there she holds several secrets. Alejo is a leader in an organization called Prism, which works with Hezbollah--a Muslim group that has renounced terrorism.

I really liked Rachel's choice of setting for this book. Prism is set about five years in the future (2017) in Bolivia and other various places.

Prism really opened my eyes to how Muslims think. Before it had always eluded me why they did what they did but once Rachel introduced Gabriel's character things started to make more sense. It is really evident in the story how much research she put into it. It made it all the more real to me.

As for a general consensus of the characters they were very well-formed! I loved how long it took for Wara to realize she was/is forgiven, Alejo too. Because in real life many feel that way. I adored how some characters changed and morphed from the people they were before.

My one complaint is it took a while for the story to pick up and it was slow in some parts. But other than that it was a very good read and I liked it. :-)

Writing Mondays: Of Plots and Villains and Little Kittens

OK, so maybe I lied about the kitten part. This past week (coincidentally while my writing buddy was out of town) I had a problem. Not just any problem though. I couldn't find something for my heroine to fail at. I've fixed it for the most part now, thanks to my lovely friends over at Go Teen Writers. And now, I have a whole new plot element/twist that I'm excited about.

As for villains, there's definitely no doubt my villain is the bad guy now. But while he's cruel and malicious there is reasoning behind it all. And I never really understood why that was so important until this past week.

All villains need motives. Why does the villain hate your protagonist? Why is your villain evil? What does he hope to achieve? As an example, let me give you a little peek into my villain. :-)

For those who don't know, my WIP is set in a concentration camp and my villain is the Commander, who I shall refer to by his last name: Bruno. But how did he come to be a Nazi? And how did he get his Commander status?

Bruno's hatred and morals aligned with Hitler's when his son, a Nazi, was killed in a Jewish mob. He joined the ranks and quickly moved up. Months later he thought a Christian had raped his daughter. (This is not the case. However, to find out what really happened you'll have to read the book. ;D) This understanding is what sent him over the edge. He wants to see every Jew and Christian suffer because of what happened to his two children. After swearing his undying loyalty and his life to Hitler, he got the assignment for the camp.

So you see, revenge plays a huge part into my villain's evil-y-ness, the way he thinks and the way he acts. Revenge dabbles in a lot of villains' personal agendas too. What's your villain's motive?

There you have it. A little peek into my writing world! There will not be a "Writing Mondays" post next week, I will be out of town where I will have little internet access.

This is a really long post and I apologize. I hope you got something out of it though!
Blessings!
-Rosie

All right, so maybe the whole kitten-thing wasn't a complete lie...

Book Review: Me, Just Different by Stephanie Morrill

Summary:
Getting a fresh start is harder than it looks.

Skylar Hoyt is a girl who seems to have it all--she's pretty, popular, and has a great-looking boyfriend. Her senior year should be the best one yet. But a horrible experience at a summer party has changed everything. Now she's vowing to make better choices, including going back to church. But as Skylar tries to gain new perspective on life, the world as she knows it begins to fall apart.

Her parents are constantly fighting. Her younger sister has a big secret that Skylar is forced to keep. The guy she's dating is annoyingly jealous. And the new guy down the street is just plain annoying. In the midst of the chaos, Skylar starts to wonder who her real friends are and, even more importantly, who she is.

 My Review:
Woah. This book is incredible. I related much more to Skylar than I thought I would. I mean, I've never gone to public school, smoked, or went to keg parties (thank the Lord.) But I knew how she felt being with a guy you weren't sure you liked--much less loved. Because I found myself in a situation quite similar to hers. Once I got into this book I could hardly put it down.

Now for more about the book. Skylar Hoyt finds herself changing after a close-call at a party. It's because of this close-call that she agrees to date Eli. He's pleasant to the eyes, charming, and he loves her. What's not to like?

Skylar faces many daily high-school teenage struggles that a lot of girls could most likely relate to. An extremely jealous boyfriend, fighting parents, parties, oh yeah- and that annoying new boy down the street. She seems to handle things well at first, taking some to just be the new normal.

But something is bugging her. Why doesn't she reciprocate Eli's feelings? Skylar slowly comes to realize she can never really go back to how things were before. Can God be the key she needs to sorting out her life? To changing for good? There are so many questions and so many answers- but you'll have to read it to get them!

I highly recommend this book for any teenager. :)

Writing Mondays: Refining...plus some other news

Hey everyone! Today I'm officially beginning to edit, refine, and re-tune my novel. In the works are a few plot changes, new time constraints, and new character dynamics. All in all, I'm excited to see where my plans might take me...

via

...as long as they don't lead me back to the drawing board. Perhaps I might post another excerpt. :-)

In the meantime, I have some news. Good news, I mean. Our house sold last weekend. So, I'm going to do my best to keep posting during the chaos. Honestly though, it won't get really bad until our moving date gets closer. But I wanted to let you guys know in advance so no one thought I dropped off the face of the earth or died. Hehe... :p

As for the blog, tomorrow I'm posting a review of Stephanie Morrill's fantastic book Me, Just Different! Be sure to stop by!

That's all for now.
God bless!

Book Review: Child of the Mist by Kathleen Morgan

 

Summary:
 In the harsh Scottish highlands of 1565, superstition and treachery threaten a truce between rival clans. It's a weak truce at first, bound only by an arranged engagement between Anne MacGregor and Niall Campbell-the heirs of the feuding families.
While Niall wrestles with his suspicions about a traitor in his clan, Anne's actions do not go unnoticed. And as accusations of witchcraft abound, the strong and sometimes callous Campbell heir must fight for Anne's safety among disconcerted clan members. Meanwhile his own safety in threatened with the ever-present threat of someone who wants him dead.
Will Niall discover the traitor's identity in time? Can Anne find a way to fit into her new surroundings? Will the two learn to love each other despite the conflict? With a perfect mix of a burgeoning romance and thrilling suspense, this book is historical fiction at its best.


My Review:
I did not know what to expect when I opened the cover of this book. I went in completely blind. The beginning was a little bit too slow for my taste and I easily anticipated what was the conflict. (I had not read the back of the book summary/synopsis.) I did not easily anticipate, however, the many twists and mysterious turns Morgan left to be guessed. 

Some characters were more easily loved than others at first. Anne, for instance, is instantaneously likable from the start, as is Iain. It's Niall I had to warm up to. Honestly, I was rooting for Iain to sweep Anne away--despite the fact I knew she and Niall would end up together--for most of the book. Although Niall eventually swayed me over. ;-)

This book was written in third person but Morgan's style made me feel like it was written in first and from Anne's perspective. That is something I really cherished about this book. Something else I liked was when Anne made a huge sacrifice that threatened her life all for two people she loves. That, to me, makes her an excellent heroine. 

Morgan preformed very well in bringing to us a thought out and researched setting and dialogue. The superstition about witches and Anne's healing knowledge proved all to be accurate. Overall, I was quite impressed with this book and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Been tagged....

I have been unofficially blog tagged to answer twenty questions about myself. We'll see how it goes...

1. Let's start out easy.  Favorite color?

I really love soft, cozy, colors like lavender.

2. Favorite book genre?

Mystery/Suspense :D

3. Describe your dream house.

Hm...a two story home in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mysterious forests and large hills. And in this house, the second floor is all one multi-purpose room for me to do school, to write, to read, etc.

4.  Which of your characters (if you write) or someone else's characters (if you don't) do you identify most with?

I guess I'll have to say Isaiah from my first novel Concentration. He's very practical minded--like myself--and strives to protect his family.

5. Who is your hero?  Why?

I can't just pick one, so I'll go with the lover of my soul, Jesus. I can always come to him for help and He'll answer me. He's always there to comfort me and reassure me of His undying love.

6. Now it gets a little harder.  What is one major thing you dream of accomplishing in your lifetime?

Just one? Shoot. Well, there are many things I would like to accomplish. The one highest on my list, however, is to know my writing touched someone's life. To know that I made a difference.

7. Which quirk annoys your best friend most?

....I don't know actually.

8. Would you consider yourself more of a leader or a follower?

I lean towards more of a leader. I like having schedules, and I loath it when something unexpected crops up. (But I'm working on it!!)

9. What's an idiosyncrasy that drives you crazy?

When one person says they'll do something A and then does something B.

10. If you won a million dollars on a game show, what's the first thing you'd do with the money?

Open up a bank account. lol

11. A little easier, now.  Which Disney/Pixar character was your favorite?

Rapunzel :D

12. Why?

She has such a good heart, like most Disney princesses, but her cute innocence and helpful spirit make me adore her.

13. 3 people in your life it would almost kill you to lose?

  Grace, my best friend- I don't know how I'd live without her.

My mom- because I tell her everything. She's such a crucial part in helping me keep my sanity in today's world.

My cousin Tabitha- I don't know what I'd do without her constant support and hugs. :)

Lastly, my grandmother- her wisdom and love inspires me to no end. Can't lose her. ;)

14. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Paris, France!

15. If you could change your accent, what would you change it to?

British. Although I can fake one really well thanks to shows like Doctor Who and Sherlock. :)

16. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
Hah! The answer that popped in my head was, "Nothing!" but then logic snagged me. I would give myself confidence to talk to other people and tough skin for when I'm rejected.

17. What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?
Lots of things. :D Read, write, listen to my ipod, chat with my friends, Skype with Sherlock... the list goes on.

18. Something you did out of obligation recently that you would rather not have done?
It was a moment where my kind heart couldn't bare to see someone hurt. And I wish I had just said nothing.

19. If you were stranded on a desert island (if you're stranded, how is there a desert there?) What five things would you bring?
A plane with a full tank of gas to escape. My best friend, books, my laptop and electricity.

20. One random thing about yourself.
I am Watson and my best friend is Sherlock. (And trust me, the roles fit well.)

Writing Mondays: Your Inner Editor

Every writer has a special, figment-of-your-imagination, someone sitting on their shoulder telling them about all their grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. This special someone's name is Eddy and he's your inner editor.

via

Or maybe he's a she, and she resembles an evil English teacher on TV. Regardless, they are still an annoyance and hard to control.
In my experience, Eddy has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Because of that it is incredibly hard to tame him, especially when you're a perfectionist like me. So what do we do then?
One of the better solutions I've found is to set a timer for yourself (or set up a word war with your fellow writers) anywhere from five to fifteen minutes and just write. Write nonstop until you hear that timer go off. Then when time's up, I go back and edit like a grammar fanatic.

How do you deal with Eddy?

Woo Hoo!

I come to you with fabulous news.

I have just finished my first novel!! Indeed, it is only a rough draft... One that I shall be editing all summer... BUT it is finished! :D

This has been such an awesome journey and now I can't wait to edit it!

Book Review: The Healer's Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson

 Summary:
Two Hearts. One Hope.

Rose has been appointed as a healer's apprentice at Hagenheim Castle, a rare opportunity for a woodcutter's daughter like her. While she often feels uneasy at the sight of blood, Rose is determined to prove herself capable. Failure will mean returning home to marry the aging bachelor her mother has chosen for her—a bloated, disgusting merchant who makes Rose feel ill.

When Lord Hamlin, the future duke, is injured, it is Rose who must tend to him. As she works to heal his wound, she begins to understand emotions she's never felt before and wonders if he feels the same. But falling in love is forbidden, as Lord Hamlin is betrothed to a mysterious young woman in hiding. As Rose's life spins toward confusion, she must take the first steps on a journey to discover her own destiny

 My Review:
I heard about Melanie Dickerson's novel, The Healer's Apprentice, through a few different sources (blogs, reviews, etc.) and decided it was worth checking out.

Dickerson provides a very realistic setting and likable characters. I found myself thinking about what it would be like to live in Rose's time period. It is so different from today it's almost unimaginable to see myself without modern technology. Or wearing a tight corset! Going into it, However, her twist on "Sleeping Beauty" was almost too predictable for me. I had the ending solved in a few mere chapters leaving the rest of the book to be lacking.

As for the characters, I admired Lord Hamlin and Rose. Lord Hamlin was especially dear to my heart. His chivalry, authority, and want to do right by himself and Rose made my heart flutter. And as for Rose, I couldn't really find myself relating to her as much as I would have hoped. After all, a girl with no desire to marry was very uncommon in her time period. Maybe Frau Garuscha influenced her somehow.

This was a good read from a writing standpoint. Dickerson definitely provided a well established (and most likely accurate) setting and characters. I look forward to what fairytales she does next.

Interested? You can purchase the book here!

I checked this book out at my local library, no review required.

Writing Mondays: An Excerpt

Well, Monday has come! And, today, I have prepared a small clip (163 words) from my first chapter in my WIP. :-) I hope you like it!!

“Stay here, I’m going to get Padre and ‘Ziah.” I turned to go back. Hanna’s hand clasped mine.

“No!” she cried pulling me back.

I pried my hand from hers and sped off as Hanna’s cries faded into the mayhem of the marketplace. My duty was to get Hanna to safety, which I had done. My next loyalty was to find Padre and Isaiah. I knew they had to be somewhere nearby the blacksmith's shop. I just had to find them.  Throngs of people ran in every direction. My vision blurred as I was pushed around trying to get through the crowd. I was shoved to the ground and it was then I noticed that everyone was running in the same direction. I struggled to my feet and tried to look over the crowd. What were people fleeing from? I continued to press through the swarm until I caught a glimpse of it.

Thoughts? Friendly constructive criticism?

Random Saturdays: What do you do when you write?

So, as I type this I'm in the middle of writing the next to last chapter for my novel! :-D And I wanted to share a few patterns of what I do when I write.

1. I open up the blinds in my room. (Light seems to help me think.)
2. I pull out my "novel notebook", which carries the chapter outline inside.
3. I grab a glass of sweet tea. (I drink it rather fast and then, when I'm pondering on my next sentence I chew the ice...I know what you're thinking. My dentist really likes me, right? Hah!)
4. And finally, I open up Pandora Internet Radio. I tend to listen to either the Classical music channel or the 2011 Top Christian Hits channel. Right now it's on the Christian channel.

Which brings me to the title question, what do YOU do when you write? Any particular quirks? Leave a comment! :-)

Book Review: Replication by Jill Williamson

 

Summary:

 When Your Life Is Not Your Own Martyr---otherwise known as Jason 3:3---is one of hundreds of clones kept in a remote facility called Jason Farms. Told that he has been created to save humanity, Martyr has just one wish before he is scheduled to 'expire' in less than a month. To see the sky. Abby Goyer may have just moved to Alaska, but she has a feeling something strange is going on at the farm where her father works. But even this smart, confident girl could never have imagined what lies beneath a simple barn. Or what would happen when a mysterious boy shows up at her door, asking about the stars. As the reality of the Jason Experiment comes to light, Martyr is caught between two futures---the one for which he was produced and the one Abby believes God created him to have. Time is running out, and Martyr must decide if a life with Abby is worth leaving everything he's ever known.

My Review:
Oh. My. Word.

I was looking forward to finally reading this book and wow! I loved it. Ms. Williamson created a beautifully pieced together work and I can't wait to read more by her.

Replication is about an illegal cloning facility. J:3:3 is one of the clones and one of the main characters. And boy is he a sweetheart! He chooses on a daily basis to protect the "brokens", or defective clones, and thus earns the nickname Martyr.

But Martyr has a dilemma. He "expires" in just a few short weeks. Who will protect the brokens when he's gone? Will he get to see the sky?

Then a new doctor arrives at the facility. His name is Doctor Goyer. And he's different. When Martyr is given marks, a form of punishment, with him Dr. Goyer chooses only to talk to Martyr. He answers most of Martyr's questions about the outside world.

Then, during his last mark with Dr. Goyer, Martyr decides to steal his keycard. He just wants to see the sky and no one will let him. So he'll have to do it himself. But will he make it out before being caught?

Ms. Williamson handles a very tricky subject when it comes to animal and human testing- as well as Christianity. But she did it very well, in my opinion. I especially liked Martyr's first prayer.

There are so many things I could name that I liked about this book but I shall end my review here. If you like a good well-thought out story Replication is for you!

Book Review: Deadly Pursuit by Irene Hannon

 

  Summary:
 As a social worker, Alison Taylor has a passion for protecting children and seeing that justice is served on their behalf. But when she starts getting harassing phone calls and bizarre "gifts," it seems she may be the one in need of protection. When her tormentor's attentions take a violent turn, her brother Cole comes to her aid, along with his new partner, an ex-Navy SEAL, Detective Mitch Morgan. As her relentless stalker turns up the heat, Mitch takes a personal interest in the case. Protecting Alison has become more than just a job--because his own happiness now depends on keeping her safe.

Chock full of nail-biting suspense and heart-melting romance, Deadly Pursuit is Irene Hannon's storytelling at its very best. Fans old and new will not want to miss the next story in this series starring siblings fighting for justice.


My Review:
Deadly Pursuit is second out of a trilogy. I was really excited to have a book primarily about a woman instead of a man.

That being said, Alison Taylor is an excellent female lead. Ms. Hannon has had me hurting for Alison since we were introduced to her in Fatal Judgement.

A year ago, Alison was in a nasty car-wreck leaving her behind with many injuries including a few that wouldn't heal. Something I adored about her was that she didn't let that stop her. She moved on. She thrived at her job and enjoyed the company of her dog Bert, who just can't get any more cute. :-)

Her journey begins going up hill when her older brother Cole calls her up and plays the compassion card to get her to go with his new partner, Mitch Morgan, to a wedding in Mitch's family.

Mitch is the type of guy you don't see in the real world very often. He's a gentleman. He's chivalrous. And he's protective of what's his. (Or wishes to be his.) Making him just the man Alison needs.

Ms. Hannon weaves together (yet again) an exceptional and phenomenal romance/mystery/suspense novel.
