Seventeen-year-old Carrie is lying in her backyard ignoring all the looming responsibilities in her life, when a fox makes a mad dash across the grass in front of her. After she manages to keep her dog from attacking the frightened animal, the fox turns to Carrie and seems to bow in gratitude before he disappears into the bushes. All Carrie knows in that moment is that something has unexpectedly changed in her life.
Carrie has been best friends with Lindsay Smith and Rebecca Campbell for years. During a summer when they should focus on choosing colleges, the girls suddenly find themselves swept away on the adventure of their lives. The fox reappears three days later and reveals to Carrie that he is Adom, emissary to the king of Hadariah. With his land of music and magic in peril, Adom has been sent to seek help from Carrie and her friends. In the blink of an eye, the three teenage girls go from living an average suburban life to being the champions of a world where they must contend with giants, witches, and magical beings. Will they ever make it home once more?

Vampirism and You! from Missouri Dalton


Louis’ whole life was planned right to a bite on the neck at his seventeenth birthday. The British native has a whole lot of changes coming his way. There’s the cravings, the urges, the relocation to rural USA…it’s a lot for a teenager to handle. Throw in the possibility that he might not be as straight as he always thought and it’s a tangled mess as Louis tries to navigate his new life as a vampire.
Things aren’t going to be easy though, and his foster-vampire Duncan is determined to make Louis a fine upstanding example of vampirism—or else. Louis has his handbook though to explain well, some things. But not everything.
When a new vampire shows up in town, Louis thinks he’s finally found someone to confide in, except Eli has his own agenda and Louis is about to find out that being a vampire means more than drinking blood and causing mayhem—there are also dirty politics, dark secrets, and a whole lot of reading assignments.

Introducing: Missouri Dalton

Greetings! I'm Missouri Dalton, author of many an adult novel, and just recently moved into the YA field. To be fair, I started writing YA first and then adult and then published in adult first. Odd.

Anyhow, I rather liked Voss' bit about book shelves, so I thought I'd share some series from my YA shelf.

The Alex Rider novels
The Heroes of Olympus
Harry Potter
The Collegium Chronicles (Valdemar)
The Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner


Yeah, I read a lot of the action stuff. So it's funny to compare to my adult shelf where I've got the Parasol Protectorate, the Urban Shaman books and a lot of female oriented characters, while my YA/MG is all boys. Mostly boys. Ah well.

So of course, what did I just sign on for? A "boy" book, as it were. My first YA novel, Vampirism and You! 

Louis has a lot on his plate. He's just turned seventeen, he has to move to America from his home country of England, he could--maybe--be gay and he just joined the ranks of the undead. His foster-sire Duncan--who he has absolutely no feelings for whatsoever--forces him to go to high school to help him learn to be around humans without eating them. As if his life wasn't difficult enough, there's a strange vampire hanging around that Duncan really doesn't like and Louis accidentally turned the head cheerleader into his minion while playing Dracula in the school play.

And that's just the tip of the bloody iceberg, because as Louis is about to find out, being Dracula's grandson is not all it's cracked up to be. 


No release date yet, but I'll be keeping apprised on my new YA blog, Quill, Quips and Quirks. I love alliterations. So sue me.

I feel it's important to my character to note, that I wrote this blog post while listening to The Eagles, Witchy Woman.

Cheers!

Missouri
