“It wasn’t enough, just knowing that Noelle was alive and on her way back to us. So I sat there wondering if Noelle had screamed when she was taken. And if she had, why hadn’t anyone heard?”
Kristina McBride, The Tension Of Opposites

“What if it's as simple as one moment? One tiny thing, like that kiss on the rocks? What if I'd kissed him a little longer? Would he be alive right now? Or what if I'd stayed with him Friday night, what if I'd been with him… wherever he was?”
Kristina McBride, One Moment

“Above, leaves fluttered in the moonlight, and I wondered if their whispers were meant for me, if they were imprinted with a code that I needed to decipher. Some kind of important message that would help me get this right.”
Kristina McBride, One Moment

“Everything...affects everything”
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”
Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

“The whole point of growing up is learning to stay on the laughing side.”
Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

“It will all be better in the end and if it is not better then it must not be the end yet”
Dean Koontz, From the Corner of His Eye

“Fiction is the truth inside the lie.”
Stephen King

Kristina McBride Would love to see you! There should be some other fun authors there too :)


Kiersten Bree That sounds awesome, I'll see if I can come, thanks!


Kristina McBride It was so much fun to meet you! I was glad to give you the bookmarks. Wish I could have signed your book! I am writing novel # 2 of my 2-book deal - but it is not related to The Tension of Opposites. I kind of doubt about a sequel. If you're near Cincinnati this Saturday (the 2nd) there is a huge, all-day book festival at the Duke Energy Center. I'll be there signing books and would love to see you again!

Here's a link so you can see the huge list of authors and get info if you're intersted in stopping by: http://booksbythebanks.org/


Kiersten Bree Hey, Kristina! I was lucky enough to meet you at the Smart Chicks Kick It tour in Dayton! Thank you so much for the signed bookmarks. I have a quick question; are you currently writing anymore novels? Oh, and is Tension of Opposites going to have a sequel?
Thanks,
Kiersten


Kristina McBride Of course!


Penelope Marzec Thanks for adding me as a friend!

I don't have it - I waited in line for the library copies. If you call the library, it should only take a week or so. IF you can wait that long :) They're good, huh?

Abby Do you have 'Catching Fire'? Is there any chance you could bring it to school on Thursday if you do? Thanks so much!!

Kristina McBride Hey Abby - I have read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Both awesome. #3 is due out in August. Thanks for the recommendation! Hope you're enjoying your break! The boy was talking about you the other day!

Abby Kristina - have you read 'The Hunger Games' (any from the series?) I just started (this weekend) the first one, really like it, and it makes me think of something you might like ~ The Hunger Games

Scones & Sensibility is so good - a great one for you. It's out next week, I think. The cover is awesome too, isn't it?
