Cover Reveal: Scattering Stars

Wendy C. Jorgensen grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and began writing in second grade, furiously recording her hopes and dreams in a denim-covered diary. Besides hanging out at the library, she loved soaking up the rays—while reading a book, of course. During her sophomore year of high school, Wendy’s family moved to Carson City, Nevada, and she thought her life had ended. The desert, sagebrush, and cowboys were a far cry from the ocean, palm trees, and surfers of Florida. Fortunately within six months, the family relocated to Lake Tahoe, and her outlook improved dramatically.
Wendy started college at the University of Colorado in Boulder, followed by a year at the University of Nevada in Reno and two years at Brigham Young University, where she worked as a reporter and copy editor for The Daily Universe. A decision to take a short break from school turned into a twelve-year hiatus in Lake Tahoe. After a two-year stint in the civil engineering program at California State University in Sacramento, Wendy returned to Colorado and graduated from CU with a degree in English Writing. It was a long, but valuable, educational journey.

After twenty years in Colorado, Wendy recently moved back to Northern Nevada, close enough to Lake Tahoe to enjoy the beautiful scenery but far enough away to escape the heavy winters. She lives with a wonderful husband who’s a financial guru–thank goodness–and a golden retriever who’s often mistaken for a sloth. Her two brainy and creative sons challenge her intellect and make her want to be smarter. Wendy hopes someday to journey to the stars.

Deep in the Colorado Mountains lie many secrets. One of them could change the world.

When sixteen-year-old Eve Hunter returns to her childhood home of Ridgway, Colorado, she discovers a tight-knit colony of scientists and their families led by her grandfather, Jarak. Ten years earlier, her mother drowned suspiciously in a nearby canyon, and Eve becomes convinced the townspeople are hiding something. By lineage, Eve belongs to the colony and despite her reservations, she feels drawn to the colonists—particularly one of them: Daniel Winter, an eerily familiar, intense boy whose determination to monitor her and all the colonists is more than a little disturbing. After Jarak reveals her true heritage, Eve learns her return to Ridgway is not a coincidence. She’s a key piece in Jarak’s plan. As secrets are revealed, Eve becomes entangled in a deadly game—and time’s running out to master the rules. One wrong move could jeopardize the future of the planet. "

First lets take a look inside the book
Perhaps Brad decided he’d had enough for one day. He stood slowly, possessed by a fury that made me want to dive under the table. His body shook violently as he raised his arm toward Tara as if to push her away. An intense vibrating energy electrified the atmosphere as Tara shot backwards and slammed into the cafeteria wall.Erik and Daniel shouted simultaneously, “Brad, stop!” Their shouts echoed throughout the room. Brad examined his hand, clearly stunned. Tara gaped at him, but not in terror as I would’ve expected. Despite her embarrassment and physical discomfort, her facial expression was eerily smug. She was pleased she’d provoked Brad to such overpowering rage. “Well, Bradley. You surprised us all, didn’t you?”

Spring Countdown Blitz - Day 8

 “Everyone in the world has a Spark, a light inside that guides them, keeps them alive.” 
Starting school is supposed to be a fun and exciting time for any new student. But for Lark, a skilled archer and fledgling mind-reader, it’s a creative form of torture. Locked in rooms and hallways with both friends and enemies, bombarded by the thoughts and feelings of his peers, Lark is a prisoner.

On a quest to master his Spark, Lark’s mentor–his one ally–is anything but helpful. What Lark fails to realize is the value of his rare ability, and just how far some are willing to go to have control of him.

Facts About the Author:


1. Marketing! I wrote Sparks in a few weeks and spent months revising, but when I wrote it, I never thought I would put it on the market. It was just something fun to do and I enjoyed it. Only when it was finished and my husband read it did we discuss self-publishing. By then, the book was already finished but I had a mountain to learn about marketing. Now, it's one of my favorite parts of this business!

2. My dad always said, "It takes all types to make the world go round." I grew up in Austin, Texas, a mecca of the strange and weird, and my parents definitely embraced that. Whatever interest I had at the time, it was always encouraged. I could have piercings and colored hair and eclectic outfits and, as long as I kept my grades up and didn't get in trouble, it was supported. They always encouraged me in whatever I was doing and encouraged me to be supportive of others as well. It was an early bit of advice that has served me well.

If she had spare time, she would spend it playing harp and hammered dulcimer, gardening, hiking, shooting archery, knitting, and reading.

Q & A the Author:
1.      Which did you find more difficult: writing the book or marketing it? Why?

I find marketing much more difficult than writing. I'm an introvert, so I'm a lot more comfortable hiding behind my computer or a good book than interacting with people I don't know well.

2.      What is the best advice you received growing up?

The best “advice” I ever received was really more of a good example. I had been bullied for being smart and geeky and just “different,” so I tried my best to be “normal” and blend in. But then I met a friend who managed to be smart and geeky and do his own thing, but because he was confident
and comfortable in his own skin, he might not have been the most popular kid, but people just kind of accepted him. He helped me learn not to be afraid of being myself and not to care so much what other people think (a lesson I still have to relearn from time to time).

Sometimes the dream you never planned for is the one you can’t live without.

Six years after a painful divorce, Josh Conrad is happy traveling the world as a photographer. When he arrives in Portugal, he plans to complete the assignment as quickly as possible. What he doesn’t plan for is Sofia, the girl he baptized eleven years earlier on an LDS mission, and soon he’s making excuses to prolong his trip.

Sofia Monteiro leads a structured life in Braga, Portugal, teaching high school by day and caring for her mother by night. After she reconnects with Josh through mutual friends, the memory of a failed relationship and her new graduate program are enough reasons to stay away from him.

As they collaborate on a project, Josh is wary of repeating his old mistakes and Sofia hesitates to spend time with an American who’s only passing through.

Can two people with wounded hearts bring themselves to trust their dreams to each other?

1.      Which did you find more difficult: writing the book or marketing it? Why?
I worked on this book for three years and had to rewrite it from scratch after I learned how to write better and how to tell a good story. That was hard. I'm a slow writer. As for the marketing, since it just came out in January, it's still an ongoing (very slow) process.2.      What is the best advice you received growing up?
I can't remember any one piece of advice in particular over another, just a strong sense of honesty and work ethic. Books were important to my mother, and I grew up loving books as well.

Treena must join up with Vance if she is to survive the dangerous game of numbers—and the terrible war that rages within her heart.

"Gripping, from beginning to end . . . a tale as action-packed as Divergent yet as introspective as The Giver. . . . Sure to be an instant classic in the genre."
–R.J. Craddock, author of The Children of Cain series

"Best dystopian fiction I have read since Red Queen!"

REBECCA RODE is an award-winning author, journalist, and mother of four. She is the author of the YA dystopian novel, NUMBERS GAME, and the inspirational book, HOW TO HAVE PEACE WHEN YOU'RE FALLING TO PIECES. She also writes for Deseret News, KSL.com, FamilyShare, and Provo Daily Herald. However, her true love is writing for teenagers. She enjoys traveling, reading, and martial arts, and she has a ridiculous addiction to chocolate-banana shakes.

Facts About the Author:
1.      Which did you find more difficult: writing the book or marketing it? Why?Oh, definitely writing the book. It took three years and several rewrites to figure out where I wanted this story to go. Novels are definitely harder than they look. 
2.      What is the best advice you received growing up?My childhood teachers always said I could be anything I wanted, but that wasn't really true. Being 5'4" (and female), I'll never play in the NBA. I would never have made it to the Olympics as a swimmer, no matter how hard I worked. (That 5'4" thing again.) I'll never be an astronaut or President or the CEO of a large corporation. But I had a few professors in college tell me that I had a talent for certain things, and that if I worked hard, I could go far. It's that "if" that matters the most, I think. Talent (and height and ability and all that) is a factor, but it's not THE factor. Hard work and determination will get you way further than raw talent, and nowhere is that more true than in the publishing business.

All my stress drains out onto the keys like magic.2) I can't stand PB&J sandwiches, but I love peanut butter cookies.3) I don't get the whole Monty Python thing.

Spring Countdown Blitz - Day 2

Today, it's my turn to be featured on the blitz! Here's all the info about my book, Immortal Mine. Coming soon: the sequel, Immortal Yours.


 Niahm (pronounced Neeve) Parker is thoroughly content with her life in the small town of Goshen. Her parents, who travel frequently for their work, have raised a headstrong, independent teen. While her peers can hardly wait for the opportunity to leave, Niahm plans to stay forever.

When Shane Coleman and his nephew Sam move into town, it's the biggest event to happen in as long as anyone can remember. It’s quite remarkable for anyone to move into Goshen rather than out, but when it’s discovered that Sam is 17, it requires some serious burning of the phone lines. All the teen girls are thrilled to have a new hottie in town—all except Niahm. Sam Coleman represents a threat to her perfect way of life.

Sam is drawn to Niahm against his will. He'd prefer to not be bound to this angry, stubborn, unlikeable girl. Unfortunately, he has no choice. However, Sam didn't plan on falling for Niahm. For Immortals, love is not only forbidden, but dangerous for her. He finds himself in a fight not only for Niahm's heart, but to protect her from being harmed by those who seek to destroy Sam and those like him.

Niahm finds herself attracted to the tall, copper-headed boy, who becomes her friend and then her support when tragedy strikes. Soon, she begins to realize that there may be more to Sam than she ever suspected... much more. But what he truly is, she can't begin to imagine

Q & A with the Author:
1.      Which did you find more difficult: writing the book or marketing it? Why?In this case, marketing the book was more difficult. I didn’t know a lot about marketing, so I wasn’t sure of the best way to go about that. Marketing continues to be a struggle for most authors. The landscape of publishing changes daily which makes the best way to market constantly in flux. What works today could be obsolete tomorrow. So it becomes necessary to constantly watch what others are doing and change your strategies.2.      What is the best advice you received growing up?My dad used to say, “apologizing after you’ve hurt someone is like pulling a nail out of a board and expecting the hole to disappear.” What he meant was not that you shouldn’t or can’t apologize, but that you should try to avoid the hurt in the first place because though you can try to make it right, it will always be there. I frequently think of that and try really hard to not hurt others to avoid leaving a hole in their heart or soul.
