Road Trip Wednesday is a “Blog Carnival,” where YA Highway’s contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody’s unique take on the topic.
This week’s topic:
What would be the ideal holiday present for your main character (or favorite character)?
I won’t go into many details, but since I have a few manuscripts, we’ll go one by one. (Note that the blurbs were made up at this instant. Thus, they are very, very bad).
DESTINY GIFT, paranormal romance: In a world of chaos, Nadine has visions she doesn’t understand—she believes she might be hallucinating. Until she meets the guy who haunts her visions and everything starts to change … even the world.
Nadine: to keep her family out of her problems and to find a way of being with Victor.
Victor: to get his powers back, to win the war, and have Nadine by his side.
GYPSY HEART, urban fantasy (with lots of romance): Mirella is finally overcoming her major trust issues when she discovers her mother lied about their heritage–as Tziganes, they are powerful, special, and hunted.
Mirella: a normal family, with a mother who doesn’t lie to her and an existent father. And to learn how to trust (some) people.
ATTITUDE, contemporary romance: Everything is too perfect, until Alicia looses the one thing she loves most—dance. With her new best friend, a wheelchair, she goes back to her parents house. When everything seems lost, a rescue team comes into action.
Alicia: to dance again.
Fred: to find out if Alicia is right about his childhood trauma.
PASSION, contemporary romance: A deal puts Dylan and Hayley together. He wants to impress his father, she wants to propel her career. But the deal falls through when they realize they have true feelings for each other—and many, many problems.
Hayley: to be the best on her career.
Dylan: to get over his brother’s death, and be lost on his father’s radar.
ENERGY, sci-fi romance: after being re-captured by the Primes, Ella is sent to Earth to train the new Sentinel.
Ellanue: to finish her personal (and secret) mission.
Blake: an easy, good, rich life. Emphasizes on easy. And on rich.
Only that lol
How about your characters? What would their ideal holiday present?
Cheers,
