**Visit Tynga’s Reviews today for her PSF Guest blog & Giveaway with Judith Graves author of UNDER MY SKIN**

My guest today is Douglas Rees author of the Vampire High series.  Doug was kind enough to let me interview him about his upcoming release Majix: Notes From a Serious Teenage Witch which is being published by Harlequin Teen on July 1, 2010.  The fabulous Jayne from Harlequin has provided a giveaway too.  Details below.

Douglas Rees is a librarian who resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.  He is also the author of Grandy Thaxter's Helper, Uncle Pirate and Uncle Pirate to the Rescue, as well as two novels for older readers, Lightning Time and Vampire High. Visit him online at DouglasRees.com.

Interview

ATUF: You've mentioned on your we

bsite that MAJIX was a book ten years in the making.  What was that process like?

DR: I reworked Majix so many times because I really liked Kestrel.  Each time I rewrote her story it got a little deeper, a little richer, a little funnier.  I had a lot of help from editors at various houses who considered the different drafts and made suggestions for more changes.  I believe that the story now is what I'd hoped for when I started it ten years ago. Some things just take a long time. Diamonds, for instance.

ATUF: What was the hardest thing you had to learn in order to become a published novelist?

DR: The most difficult thing for me to learn in order to become a published novelist was to ignore the vanity that said, "This will never be good enough. Stop working on it."  It took me years to get out of that trap and realize that great writing comes from rewriting and polishing. Now I give myself permission to get the ideas out of my head and into the computer first, with the sparkle coming during the editing cycles.

ATUF: I'm a cover art junkie.  What can you tell us about the cover art for MAJIX .  Do you know who the artist is?

DR: Authors usually have to distance themselves from cover artwork as the covers rarely match what we writers have in our heads regarding visual images of our characters.  Having said that, the colors are nice.  And rather than having a photo, readers can imagine what the players look like on their own.

ATUF: You have another series, Vampire High, about the kids of Vlad Dracul.  Does MAJIX take place in the same world?

DR: Vampire High takes place in a totally different part of the country than Majix.  Opposite coast to be precise.  The Vampire High series, with Vampire High: Sophomore Year coming out this summer, is darker and more mysterious than Majix, which is a comedy riff on Wicca with a dash of Taoism thrown in and does not include any vampires at all.  But both sprang from the fertile mind of yours truly, so one might find a word or two that are featured in both books.

ATUF: Can you explain the world building of MAJIX?  What is unique about how conceived it?

DR: The world of Majix is an ordinary town in Southern California.  My own hometown of Riverside, in fact.  But it's our world.  Today.  What Kestrel does is learn to perceive the world around her differently. There's a short scene in which Kestrel gets a look at Chris Iturrigaray's art for the first time and doesn't see what he's painted until he explains it.  And then she does.  Same idea.  Same world.  Different perception.

ATUF: If MAJIX were ever made into a movie, who would your dream or, to keep things interesting, nightmare cast be?

DR: Wow.  Let's see.  I can see Kristen Stewart as Kestrel, Dakota Fanning as Laura, Taylor Lautner as Jose Iturrigary...no wait, that's that other movie.  But they'd be great.  Or anyone from Glee.  And how about Christina Hendricks (from Mad Men) as Aunt Ariel, William H. Macy as Principal Gorringe, Jason Earles (Hannah Montana's brother) as Blake Cump.  Hmmm.  The nightmare cast?  Everyone from Plan Nine from Outer Space?  I don't know.

ATUF: What other projects can we look forwarding to reading from you soon?

DR: Vampire High: Sophomore Year is coming out at virtually the same moment as Majix. I have four books and one anthology story coming out in 2010 actually.  My middle grade novel, Uncle Pirate to the Rescue, a sequel to Uncle Pirate, will be out within weeks.  And a so-cute-it's-contagious picture book called Jeannette Claus Saves Christmas will be out in November.  I'm proud of that one because we're giving a healthy dose of the profits to the ASPCA.  (Hint: it features a lot of cute homeless animals.) And Harlequin Teen has just signed off on The Juliet Spell as my next book for them.  It is a romance involving theater, the drama club, time travel and Shakespeare's kid brother, Edmund, who was also an actor.  Maybe the High School Musical or Glee actors would want to give that one a spin!

ATUF: What are some of your favorite titles/authors in the paranormal genres?

DR: I love The Shining by Stephen King.  It's the scariest thing I've ever read. And the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges are the weirdest.

ATUF: I did a post recently where different authors talked about the books their characters would read.  What would Kestrel read?

DR: What a great question!  I'm always making up books that my characters have read. I never thought before about what real books might have interested them.  Kestrel, I think, does not read a lot of fiction. The works of Silver Ravenwolf would certainly be part of her world.  And I'll bet she likes books about living alone, surviving in isolated situations, like Annie Dillard's "Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek", or Max Miller's "He Went Away for a While."  She'd definitely like Dorothy Parker's verse if she came across it, and her response to Jose's sketches makes me think she'd like Emily Dickinson.

ATUF: Can you tell us about your favorite scene in MAJIX ?

DR: That's tough.  I like so many.  But I think the one that I like best is the tamalada chapter, where Kestrel and Aunt Ariel join the Iturrigaray's Day of the Dead party and Kestrel finds out how neat the family is and begins to open up to the possibilities Jurupa is offering her to grow into herself.  I suppose that's the scene the whole story turns on.

ATUF: If MAJIX was a Frankenstein book compiled from elements of other books, what would some of those other books be?

DR: Another great question.  Let's see--a little of the Tao Te Ching, a little of anything by Francesca Lia Block.

ATUF: In honor of Paranormal Summer Fest, can you describe your perfect Paranormal Summer read? And where would you love to be vacationing while reading it?

DR: I'd take the opportunity to finish the stories of Borges.  And since you're letting me go on vacation to do it, I'll transport myself to Buenos Aires where he lived and worked.  The sky will be gray--Borges should always be read under gray skies--the coffee (did I mention the espresso bar I'm in?) will be strong, and somehow my Spanish will be flawless.  Thanks for the trip!

ATUF: Thanks so much for stopping by Doug.  Come back anytime!

Book Description

Kestrel (don't call her Susan) Murphy is angry. Forced to leave her posh San Francisco Bay Area home by her father's illness, she's living in Jurupa (sounds like vomiting), Southern California. It's too hot. The people are stupid. And you have to chew the air to get the oxygen out of it. On the plus side, Kestrel is a witch. Well, a witch-in-training. And she's going acquire the magic she needs to get her life back to normal. At first, she barely notices the people around her-Aunt Ariel, who's taken her in and is herself a well-known white witch; Jose Iturrigaray, the quiet, talented young artist; Blake Cump, troublemaker extraordinaire; Laura Greenwood, who wants to be Kestrel's friend. But life has its own magic, and gradually Kestrel finds that much of one's success as a witch lies in being open to it.

**Visit Tynga’s Reviews today for her PSF Guest Blog & Giveaway with Becca Fitzpatrick author of CRESCENDO**

I’m thrilled to welcome Rachel Vincent (the Shifters series, Soul Screamers series) today as my first guest for Paranormal Summer Fest.  Rachel’s third Soul Screamers book, MY SOUL TO KEEP releases today. You can read my reviews of the three previous Soul Screamers books below.  Many thanks also to Jayne from Harlequin who is providing a giveaway too.  Details below.

A recent transplant into the deep south, Rachel Vincent has a BA in English and an overactive imagination, and consistently finds the latter to be more practical. She shares her workspace with two black cats (Kaci and Nyx) and her # 1 fan. Rachel is older than she looks — seriously — and younger than she feels, but remains convinced that for every day she spends writing, one more day will be added to her lifespan.

Rachel Vincent

In MY SOUL TO KEEP, we see the return of Avari, the hellion we met in MY SOUL TO SAVE, who is now determined to get his hands on Kaylee Cavanaugh. His return brings up a question that is not answered outright in any of the Soul Screamers novels so far.

Why is Avari so obsessed with Kaylee?

This is a question that bothers Kaylee constantly, and that, oddly enough, I'm not sure Avari even really knows the answer to.

But to understand the question (not to mention the answer) you have to first understand what Avari is. Simply put, he's a hellion. For lack of a better descriptor, a hellion is a demon of sorts. A powerful, nefarious creature who feeds from pain and chaos. Hellions cannot leave the Netherworld (a hellish alternate dimension that is a skewed reflection of our own world), and they cannot tell an outright lie. Hellions can appear in any form they choose, except that they cannot exactly replicate the appearance of any other creature, living or dead.

Avari, specifically, is a hellion of greed, which means that in addition to feeding from pain and chaos, as all hellions do, he can also both feed from and inspire greed, or avarice, which is the root of his name.

And that, it turns out, is the key to understanding his obsession with Kaylee.

Though she'd never describe herself this way, Kaylee Cavanaugh, the viewpoint character in my Soul Screamers series, is very selfless and generous with her time and energy. She wants only to help people. Avari is quite literally her foil. Her opposite. He is both fascinated and disturbed by Kaylee, who embodies everything he cannot understand.

Kaylee is far from perfect, but her intentions are pure, and Avari suffers conflicting desires to possess her completely (to study and feed from her); to tempt her into yielding to selfishness, thus tarnishing the purity of her own soul; and to eradicate her, like she never existed at all.

He doesn't truly understand these conflicting impulses, and he hates it that he can't quite wrap his mind around her. Not to mention the fact that she has thus far eluded capture.

To Avari, Kaylee is a mystery he can't solve. She's a craving he can't ignore and the pebble in his shoe, already causing him pain and discomfort. But most of all, she's the prize he can't quite reach, and thus wants all the more. And at the end of the day, theirs is quite literally a battle between good and evil, the lines of which are bound to blur before the conflict is eventually resolved.

Because as a hellion, Avari cannot die. And Kaylee will never stop fighting...

Book Description

WHEN KAYLEE CAVANAUGH SCREAMS, SOMEONE DIES
AND KAYLEE IS ABOUT TO SCREAM HER HEAD OFF...

Kaylee has one addiction: her very hot, very popular boyfriend, Nash. A banshee like Kaylee, Nash understands her like no one else. Nothing can come between them.

Until something does.

Demon’s breath. No, not the toothpaste-challenged kind. The Netherworld kind. The kind that really can kill you. Somehow, the super-addictive substance has made its way to the human world. But how? Kaylee and Nash have to cut off the source and protect their friends—one of whom is already hooked.

And when the epidemic hits too close to home, Kaylee will have to risk everything to save those she loves.
