Now, from Emma . . .

Why I wrote Dead Dreams.

I wanted to write a story for young ladies –girls between 13 and 18, --on the cusps of adulthood, but who are not quite out of the house yet. Dead Dreams, Book 1 is a suspense thriller but it is so much more. Without being preachy Dead Dreams hopes to impress upon the young readers the deceit out there in the world.

Having homeschooled my children and being around other girls coming from a more sheltered lifestyle I noticed that in their innocence and youth they tended to jump onto things that look attractive without weighing hidden consequences. I wanted to explore possibilities that could be present in each young person as she travels in this journey of self-discovery and finding out for herself, when enough is enough; that limit that separates what's acceptable from too dangerous; and the possibilities these choices could lead to. Also, as a Christian author, I wanted readers who have a Christian background to come to the conclusion on their own, that dreams absent of God and His direction could be deadly.

I have always enjoyed a good thriller mystery so I wanted to write a young adult book that has a strong message yet is still filled with intrigue, mystery, and suspense. Hence, Dead Dreams. It is a part of a series, and the first book leaves questions that will be answered in book 2.

Eighteen-year-old Brie O’Mara has so much going for her: a loving family in the sidelines, an heiress for a roommate, and dreams that might just come true.

Except her dreams are about to lead her down the road to nightmares. Nightmares that could turn into a deadly reality.

Dead Dreams, Book 1, a young contemporary adult psychological thriller and mystery that will keep you asking for more.

Read on for a few of Emma's thoughts:

My inspiration to write Dead Dreams.
We've all been there--at least those of us who are over 21--revving to grow up, the world at our feet, the stars reachable. Wonderful ,wondrous future. But in wanting to get there, we forget to smell the roses, we trample on thorns and we get sorely poked and pricked, and alas, some of the barbs could be poisonous. Except for the Grace that watches over me, over you,  all it might have taken for any of us was that wrong turn, that grabbing of something that looked too good to be passed up, and coupled with a strong desire to make it in life, we might be blinded and grab the adder's tail. That is the story of Dead Dreams; of Brie O'Mara, a good girl, someone who'd never even gotten a traffic ticket, even a Miss Goodie Two-shoes. But, let's face it we can all be tempted, just a tiny bit. And sometimes that's all it takes to have things spin out of control.

Something about me and my family:
We are a homeschooling family living in the Pacific West Coast, otherwise known as California. There are five children in our family although my son is finishing up college after a long homeschool career.I still have four at home and with them and the pets it can get very hectic. Also, my kids have a ton of after-school activities so that turns me into a driver once three o'clock strikes each weekday, and sometimes some weekends, too. Usually I drive till past nine-thirty at night. Never a dull moment in our home.

When I first realized I wanted to be a writer.
I have always enjoyed spinning a yarn for my friends, even from as young as eight years of age. But right after college, and before I had kids, I worked in advertising writing print and Tv ads and I really enjoyed copywriting. Some of my ads actually won awards. I don't even know where I kept those dust collectors! But that was ages ago. I now have five children, ages nine to nineteen. I have four at home now whom I still homeschool. It gets really hectic at our home. We also have many pets, so something is always happening. However despite everything that's happening around me I always think about different plots and story lines whenever i have the time--usually before I doze off after a long day. So, I guess I'd always wanted to be an author. I never really consider one particular point in time when I made that decision. Writing is a part of life--of communicating. It's  just a means to get the stories  from my brain into someone else's head. Think about it, I put some squiggly things, called words, down on paper, and you read them, understand and react/think about these squiggles. And that's writing! Anyone who writes, in a sense is a writer.

What I think makes a good story.
One that has a great voice, a compelling plot yet still has a message--what i call stories that have a soul, imaginative, characters I would probably enjoy meeting, even if I might not personally want them to me my best buddy , or anything. But  most importantly, the story must keep me thinking long after the book has ended.


My next release.
I am  currently writing Keeper of Reign Book 2, titled, "Prisoner of Reign," a Middle Grade/YA adventure fantasy, hopefully out early 2014. Dead Dreams 2 should be out by the end of summer of 2014.

From April 3-6th Dead Dreams will be free to buy. Get yours then.

CrossReads Book Blast: Keeper of Reign by Emma Right

Keeper of Reign

By Emma Right

About the Book

Books written in blood.

Most are lost, their Keepers with them.

A curse that befell a people. A Kingdom with no King. Life couldn’t get more harrowing for the Elfies, a blend of Elves and Fairies. Or for sixteen-year-old Jules Blaze. Or could it?

For Jules, the heir of a Keeper, no less, suspects his family hides a forgotten secret. It was bad enough that his people, the Elfies of Reign, triggered a curse which reduced the entire inhabitants to a mere inch centuries ago. All because of one Keeper who failed his purpose. Even the King’s Ancient Books, did not help ward off that anathema. Now, Gehzurolle, the evil lord, and his armies of Scorpents, seem bent on destroying Jules and his family. Why? Gehzurolle’s agents hunt for Jules as he journeys into enemy land to find the truth. Truth that could save him and his family, and possibly even reverse the age-long curse. Provided Jules doesn't get himself killed first.
