Paranormal YA Aspiring Author Kat Deacon - With Giveaway.

Were Vamps Romance is going to do a little something different. We are having a guest post from a aspiring author. Now for the Guest Post...

You’re probably wandering who I am. I wonder that sometimes myself. I’m Kat Deacon and I am a writer. No, wait…seriously I am. I don’t have anything in print or for sale yet, but one day I will. I’ve been living inside my head with countless characters and stories for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a love of books, I lost myself in adventures and fantasy. I learned that a really good book will make you lose yourself between its pages. If the story is compelling enough, it will run through your mind like a movie. When you’re not reading it, you will crave to be devouring its pages like a hunger that can only be sated with knowing the ending.

If you’re a book lover, then you know exactly the feeling I’m describing. It’s exciting to find a book capable of eliciting such exhilarating and powerful feelings. These feelings are what attracted me to writing in the first place. Who wouldn’t want to create something so powerful… you could escape into another world? The really good writers do this with such ease and skill…you hardly noticed when you’ve left your living room and stepped into their alternate reality.


I write Young Adult Paranormal Fiction. I read almost everything. YA paranormals have made a huge wave in fiction today. With Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight leading the pack, YA has hit main stream with a big splash. The YA genre has grown by leaps in the sheer number of books accessible. The category has expanded in new and exciting ways. The quality available today is nothing short of impressive.

I know many of you may be skeptical of reading a genre intended for teens; however I am here to assure you that the YA genre isn’t just for teens anymore! Think of it this way. There are quite a few prime time television shows that are cartoons. These cartoons carry adult themes. In fact, some of these shows shouldn’t be viewed by children at all.

Now for the fun part! I’ve been reading the YA genre for the last seven years extensively. I’m prepared to be your Obe Wan for all things YA today! So go ahead and ask me! If I’ve read it, I will let you know if you should read it. For starters, I’ll clue you in that ANYTHING by Sherrilyn Kenyon YA or otherwise if worth your time. She has a new YA series called the Chronicles of Nick and it

has more fun and laughs in it than you can contain. You will be laughing outloud and then looking around to see if anyone is staring at you like an idiot!

I’ll be giving away a few books for all who comment on my guest blog until the end of the month. These books have my stamp of approval. Trust me, anyone who has read any of the books I’ve recommended has come back to thank me. I promise not to let you down. If you like fun, adventure, and that feeling reminiscent of being young, then I’ll find a book for you. These are the books I hope I am writing. Once I finally get published, I plan on coming back to give a few copies away. In the mean time, please feel free to comment or ask any questions you may have on the YA genre or my journey into the world of a published author. Thanks goes out to Melissa for inviting me for this day of fun on Were Vamps Romance Blogspot!!
