Have a question about Grasping at Eternity?

Want to tell me how badly you wanted to shake the crap out of Maryah? (Trust me, I wanted to shake her too.)

This is the place to chat about soul mates and superpowers!


Brooke (thecovercontessa) Shake? Ok, but I LOVED THIS BOOK!


Karen (karenhooper) | 43 comments Mod
Thanks, Brooke! I'm so happy to hear you loved it. Yes, shake her. I know she was a little frustrating. Okay, for some she was A LOT frustrating. lol.


Nickle Love (nicklelove) I don't care about Maryah, I just want Nathan! <3
Okay, I kid. But still... Nathan~ *drools*

Muwahahahaha! Ok, I choose Nathan over Treygan. Tough decision but it had to be done.

Becca, I got stumped by a few scenes here and there, but eventually an answer always came to me. I did worry that I'd never get published. I queried agents with GAE in 2009 and got a bunch of nos. Then I queried Tangled Tides and got a ton of rejections. I revised GAE and queried it again and still nothing. But I never wanted to give up. I loved my stories too much.

Nickle, lol. I don't know if I could choose.


Nickle Love (nicklelove) Meh. They said no to you but we say yes! XD

Maybe I just feel this way because I read GAE after TT. Or I may find Nathan appealing because he can traverse. Seriously want that power.


Karen (karenhooper) | 43 comments Mod
Nickle, and I'm so glad you guys say yes! :)
I so want Nathan's power. And Anthony's. And Carson's.


Tabitha Justice (tabithajustice) | 1 comments How long did it take you from start to finish to complete this book? :)

Rebekah (rebekahc) Oh no, now I'm nervous about reading it! Karen, if you make me launch my kindle across the room, I may never forgive you :P okay, that's a lie

Tabitha, I wrote the very first draft (150k words) in two months starting way back in Dec 2008. Then I started researching acceptable word counts and how to make drafts not suck and realized I had a lot of work to do. ;) Many revisions, lots of editing, and years later, I felt it was ready to share with the world.

Rebekah, you might want to get one of those unbreakable cases to protect your Kindle. I take no responsibility for launched ereaders. ;)

Rebekah (rebekahc) Dagnabbit! Then again, the amount of times I have managed to drop my Kindle, I'm starting to think it might be indestructible ;)
