I can’t really make this into a haiku, but it is absolutely my favorite quote:
“The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.” -- Albert Einstein
Tempest Unleashed
Tempest Maguire is happy with her decision to embrace her mermaid nature and live among her mother’s clan within the ocean’s depths. Even though training to one day ascend the throne for the aging mermaid queen is rigorous, she finds refuge in the arms of Kona, the selkie who first opened her up to her mermaid side. But when word comes that one of her brothers has been gravely injured on land, Tempest immediately rushes to his side—which also brings her back to her old flame, Mark. And in her absence, a deadly battle begins raging at the hands of Tempest’s old nemesis, the sea witch Tiamat. As the dangerous war erupts, Tempest’s two loves—Kona and Mark, sea and land—will collide for the first time, both to protect her and to force her to choose.

So far, my fav author of all time is SARA SHEPARD because she makes these stories that have secrets and mysteries to find. It's soo addicting to read her books. But I like the PLL series better than TLG series... Oh yes! And also I love KIMBERLY MARCUS because of her only book she wrote, EXPOSED, loving the complicated and poem like story. I also like her because of the fact that she doesn't write for her real job... Aand I love KIKI HAMILTON, she wrote THE FAERIE RING series and does awesome giveaways!
ReplyDeleteSARA SHEPARD, KIMBERLY MARCUS, KIKI HAMILTON
My favorite author is Larissa Ione followed very closely by .... So Many Others ;) Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite author, there are just too many to choose one. SOME of my favorites at the moment though are Lisa McMann, Katie Alender, Michael Sussman and Gregg Olsen. :)
Thanks for a a great interview and giveaway! I'd have to say Anne Mccaffery. I devoured her books when I was growing up!

ReplyDeleteimpressive answering in Haiku...I have so many...depends on the genre. Let's go with JR Ward for now cause I am so excited about the next Black Dagger Brotherhood book!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this sequel... thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'd have to say my favorite author is currently Darynda Jones.
I decided this week that Andrew Clements is one of my favorite authors!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Holly Black.
ReplyDeletePossibly, Maggie Stiefvater. I just read The Scorpio Races and love love loved it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love T.A Barron!
ReplyDeletePicking a favorite author is one of the hardest questions ever! I'm going to have to go with Tolkien, J.R. Rowling, or Jennifer Armentrout.
ReplyDeleteDepends on the genre but I love James Dashner and Brandon Mull.
ReplyDeleteFavorite author? That one is tough, I love so many. Two that come to mind are Gail Carson Levine and Shannon Hale.
ReplyDeleteI have several favorite authors. I will go with JK Rowling and Richelle Mead for YA and Alexandra Ivy and Sherrily Kenyon for adult.
ReplyDeleteMy fave author of all time is Mark Twain.
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Rowling
ReplyDeleteWow, I've got a ton of favorite authors. Let me take this opportunity to say a brief farewell, but not goodbye, he'll never be gone, to one of the all time greats, Ray Bradbury.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite authors are JR Ward, Jeaniene Frost, Cassandra Clare, and Julie Kagawa!
ReplyDeletehmm it might be tough to have just one favorite author. so a few are scott westerfeld, lauren oliver, cassandra clare, melissa de la cruz, rachel vincent and way to many more to list : )
ReplyDeleteAlmost impossible to narrow my favorite author down to one, but right now George R.R. Martin is right up there. Yeah, Game of Thrones!!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many but here are a few: Veronica Rossi, Jennifer Aremtrout, Cynthia Hand, And of course JK Rowlings!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it's usually the one I'm reading at the moment. But if I had to pick only one it would probably be Nora Roberts/JD Robb. She gave me the awesome In Death series, lots of romance, thrillers, suspense and romance. I just love multiple genre authors.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Julia Quinn. Even though I mainly read YA's these days, I still love all of her work. She wraps everything I want into one neat little book: humor, love, smut, and a believable regency romance. :)
ReplyDeleteJohanna Lindsey and Lisa kleypas, all of their books I read are great and I love them!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite author because I love so many. If I have to name a few I go with Robin McKinley, Juliet Marillier and Patricia A. McKillip. They are all fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI love to edit books written by new authors, because some of them are great writers! Never liked werewolves and vampires until recently, after reading some new books. The Tempest Series sounds like some good reading! Going to look for them.
ReplyDeleteJames Patterson, Cassandra Clare and Kelley Armstrong are some of my favorite authors:) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh my god I have TONS of favorite authors but the first one that came to mind was Cassandra Clare as I'm reading her new books now and they are AMAZING! I can't stop talking about them and I recommend them to everyone I meet. I love her writing.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant use of Haiku for your interview answers!! You creative types...I'm envious! i could not have come up with something like that (or if I did, it would have taken me at least 24 hours of serious thinking!). I have to kind of fudge a wee bit on the answer and break this into my favorite *historical* author and my favorite *current* author :). Favorite historical author is definitely Charlotte Bronte, while my favorite current author is George R.R. Martin (and has been for years and years...and years...oh lord why does he take so long to write books?!). But I'm finding a lot to like in today's "indie" authors who are taking the world by storm lately!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite author because there just are way too many good ones! I do however, really enjoy Cassandra Clare, Richelle Mead, Sarah Dessen, J.K. Rowling, and so many more :D Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI like Lisa Kleypas' books.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Richelle Mead
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Ladette, I have so many 'favorite' authors.. Love Madeline L Engle, JK Rowling (anyone who gets that many people that excited about reading is tops in my book), Grath Nix, Jacqueline Paige and Phil Stern (two new faborites), Rick Riordan for getting my son excited about reading, Dr. Suess, Louise May Alcott, and I could go on and on
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Marion Zimmer Bradley.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer L Armentrout, Lauren Oliver, Lauren Kate, Kelly Armstrong & Amanda Hocking just to mention a few. There are quite a few others but I didn't want to be up all nite. Yes, I am also a nite owl by need. The book sounds great!!! Thanks for the generous giveaway. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Rachel Vincent!
ReplyDeleteCassandra Clare
ReplyDeleteSo many! Charlaine Harris, Janet Evanovich, LA Dale I could go on and on and on
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author today is Janet Evanovich.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Anne Rice :D
ReplyDeleteamymccarty at hotmail dot com
Thanks for the giveaway and the great interview! My favorite author would have to be Rachel Vincent.
ReplyDeletethank you for the giveaway. I have so many great authors I love it would be hard to pick only one but right now I am reading The Blackdagger Brotherhood Series so ?I guess today I would pick J R Ward. Gale Nelson
ReplyDeletepgan427@yahoo.com
My favorite author is Janet Evanovich. Thanks for having the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteayancey(at)dishmail(dot)net
I have a lot of authors I love but overall I think my favorite is J.K. Rowling.
ReplyDeleteStephen King!
ReplyDeleteJK Rowling!
ReplyDeletemmmm. JK Rowling and Meg cabot :D Oh Rick Riordan lol
ReplyDeleteOh boy,..Marcia Lynn McClure, Lynn Kurland, Janette Rallison, Sarah Eden, Traci Hunter Abramson, Betsy Bannon Green, Julie Coulter Bellon, Shannon Hale, Stephenie Meyer, Lisa Mangum, Lani Woodland, Josi Kilpack, Tina Ferraro, and my new favorite is Julianne Donaldson:) Just to name one!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite author because I read a lot of books. There is a lot of authors that I like, but no one in particular that is my favorite. I say this because each author have their own writing style and their themes and stories are all different, so it is hard to favorite just one particular author. I like L.J. Smith, R.L. Stine, Christopher Pike, V.C. Andrews, J.K. Rowling, etc. I haven't read any books by Tracy yet, but I look forward to reading 'Tempest Rising' and hopefully her books will become one of the things I anticipate. :)
ReplyDeleteTempest has a sequel? Awesome! I read the first book as part of a Debut Author challenge last year.
ReplyDeleteFave author? Tamora Pierce, hands down, although some of that might be because she has /so many/ amazing books.
I think my overall favorite authors are Jane Austen and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Some of my favorite more recent authors include Maggie Stiefvater, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Cassandra Clare!
ReplyDeleteI think Tempest is a great character, there is a part of her that I can relate; whether be in her choices. To quote J.K.Rowling, it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. Great interview!
ReplyDeletePhilip Pullman is one of my favorite authors!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many I like. I love YA paranormal series.
ReplyDeleteWow, there are soooo many. Right now I'm reading Passion and I absolutely adorable Lauren Kate, so let's choose her for today. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to choose a favorite author! I really like J.R. Ward. Lacey Weatherford is good too!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite author... But a couple of my favorites are Suzanne Collins, Jennifer Echols, Veronica Roth and Cecilia Gray.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Nora Roberts is my favorite author.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author? Hmm, I can't choose just one but some of my faves are Kailin Gow, Katie Kacvinsky, Amanda Hocking and Erica O'Rourke.
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Rowling and J.R. Ward are my fave authors.
