Friend For A Day....
So, up until now most of my posts have been me talking about Skyla but I'm anxious (yes anxious) to hear from you guys!! A few of you have contacted me on Facebook and some of you have left reviews on Amazon.com but I still am feeling like I'm not hearing all your voices. That being said, my next few post are going to be a bit interactive. Yes, I'm going to be like the annoying teacher you despised who called you out in class and made you answer a question. :)
No, really, what I want to know is how my readers are connecting with my book. As a writer, I constantly live with my characters in my brain. Yes, Jey is brooding and yells a lot. Skyla is constantly doing something that would scare the wits out of me. And Haley, well Haley is like the good little angel, sitting on my shoulder, telling me to obey the System even when my mind is rebelling.
However, what I'm interested in is what you thought of my characters! So, for your first assignment (get out your pen and right this down), I want to know if you could spend the day with one of my characters, who would it be and why? Simple enough, right? So, do your homework (which means read the book if you haven't already) and then sound off on your favorite character!! I can't wait to hear from you all!!

A. E. Field's Top Ten for 2013 (so far)...
You may not have guessed this, but I LOVE to read. I read at breakfast. I read at lunch. I even read while walking sometimes (just ask my co-workers, they'll tell you it's true!!!). I read while I cook dinner. I read while I watch movies. Okay - so you get the point. Reading is a BIG part of my life. After all, reading inspires me to write.
What's the point, you ask? The point is, I have tons of good books to share with you!! Of course, first and foremost is Skyla by yours truly. Read that before anything else (if you haven't already) ;). But after (yes after) you're going to be left wondering what to read next. It might be confusing choosing another story after reading such a good book!
Don't worry!! I've got you covered!!
Below is a list (in no particular order) of ten of my favorite books that I've read so far in 2013. There's everything from romance to fantasy to action/adventure books. So, sit back, relax and grab a book!!
1. Legacy by Cayla Kluver - This dazzling little book was written by a 16 year old girl. Magic, intrigue and romance are all a part of this medieval world. Very clean and intriguing!!
2. Fault In Our Stars by John Green - Grab a box of tissues and clear your schedule. This book is a book about teenage cancer victims that fall in love. Very unusual and touching. A little more on the mature side of things. Definitely adult situations and language for those looking to avoid such things. I have to admit I had a hard time getting this book out of my head. It's the kind of book that makes you think about life and what you believe.
3. Goddess by Jospehine Angelini - I love mythology and this is one of my favorite series in that genre!! This is actually the third book in the trilogy so go back and read book one if you haven't. Amazing romance, plot and tons of action!! Love, love, love this author!! You won't be disappointed! Little bit of language for those that are concerned.
4. Scarlet by Marissa Meyer - The second book in a series with a twist on fairy tales. I have to admit I'm a sucker for fairytale makeovers. This first book in this series is titled Cinder and was amazing. Scarlet was an excellent follow up! Werewolves and cyborgs and aliens OH MY!! Very clean!
5. Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson - If you are in anyway a romance fan - this book is for you!! I love historical fiction and romance and this combines the both. What an amazing story and an amazing relationship with very well thought out characters. I'm anxiously (I do mean anxiously!!) awaiting the next book from this author! She's a winner in my book :) Very clean by the way!!
6. River of Time Series by Lisa Bergren - Sword fighting!!! That alone should make your little heart palpitate!! This is an amazing story about two sisters who time travel back to medieval times and their adventures and relationships. There are three books in the series and each one got better and better!! DO NOT be fooled by the first couple of chapters. I thought they were cheesy but as I continued to read I became hooked and read the whole series in a matter of days! This is a wonderfully amazing journey of faith, love and adventure! Completely clean too!!
7. Dark Triumph by R. L. LaFevers - Assassins. Need I say more? Girl assassins that are the daughters of Death himself at that!! This is the second book in a series by R. L. LaFevers. This first book was amazing and Dark Triumph is just as good!! Join Sybil on her journey of self discovery during her time with the assassins. A few adult situations for those concerned.
8. Shadow & Bone by Leigh Bardugo - This was an amazing little find. Full of magic, deceit, romance and adventure - this book wove a magical tale made of the stuff of legends. A full fledged fantasy complete with an awesome heroine, a poor but perfect hero and a devious dark lord.
9. The Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas - Another chick assassin book. This girl is awesome!!! She's the best assassin in the land and she's ready to prove it. Romance, intrigue and a little bit of fantasy intertwined. This book was much better than I expected it to be! I went to go buy the sequel and had a bit of a let down when I found out it wasn't out yet! :(
10. Anything by Marcia Lynn McClure - No, Anything is not the name of the book by Marcia. I'm just saying that I personally would read ANYTHING by Marcia. Her book are what I like to call fluff and everybody needs a little bit of fluff in their life. She strictly writes romance but they are all clean!! Lots of passion without the trash (man I love that!!). Some might find her writing a little old schoolish but I love her. I've read almost every book she's written and there's very few that I didn't like. If you are a sucker for just a good old fashioned romance - go pick up one of her books now!!!
Well, I hope that gives you all some ideas for your next read!! I know I didn't go into super depth about plots and whatnot but you can go to www.goodreads.com for that. My reviews (what reviews I have done) are all on www.goodreads.com under my author profile - A. E. Field. You can follow me there if you want to see what kind of books I'm reading and what I thought about them. Oh, and don't forget to leave a review for Skyla there!!
I also wanted to let you know that Skyla is available on all Amazon platforms!! So those of you in say England, India, Brazil, Japan etc... can purchase Skyla. Just search under the keywords - Skyla by A. E. Field - and then click to purchase!!! You can also follow me on Facebook under A. E. Field, Author for more updates.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
