We have a winner--and another chance to play and win!
Writerly Wednesdays here are dedicated to writers and readers. If you've published anything for Young Adults with a fantastic twist (fantasy in all varieties, paranormal, speculative fiction, horror, sci-fi, dystopian, cheese, etc.), shoot me an email (crystal AT crystal-collier DOT com). I'll be shouting about awesome books, sharing new covers, or participating in book releases every week--and I'd love to share yours. Spots are filling up quick, so schedule a date now.
Before the fun, let's announce the winner for last week. G.R. Holton shared with us Dragon's Bow and offered a signed book of the winner's choice off his website.

Now shall we meet the author?
When Celeste Holloway isn’t writing, she might be found
snuggled up, kid on one side, cat on the other, trying to read a book. She’s a
non-recovering perfume addict living a small town life in Arkansas, but dreams
of world travel. If she ever gets rich and famous, her first stop is Rome. A
former hairstylist, she recently tossed her scissors to embark on a career as a
fulltime writer. If you’d
like to learn more about Celeste, visit her blog, Words Done Write or send her a friend request on Facebook.

Today's amazing feature is:
She's the reason the devil never sleeps.
A year after her parents’ death, seventeen-year-old, Meadow Parker is close to having a grave of her own.
Beyond her shrink’s false diagnosis of PTSD, there’s no medical reason for her failing health. Only she knows the cause. But if Meadow told the truth—told them what comes for her at night—they’d lock her in a padded cell.
Seeking an end to her torment, Meadow agrees to visit the supernatural landmark her parents were obsessed with—the river that fuels her fears. On arrival, she's charged with an ancient power, and her destiny as the long awaited Keeper is sealed. Now the countdown to save the world and the battle for her soul begins.
