On to my guest!
Today I am hosting Kat Colmer. She is a Sydney-based young adult author who writes coming-of-age stories with humor and heart. She has a Master of Education in Teacher Librarianship and loves working with teens and young adults. The recipient of several writing awards, Kat’s debut YA The Third Kiss won the Romance Writers of America On the Far Side contest for best Young Adult Paranormal Romance. Her second novel Can’t Beat the Chemistry has been dubbed The Rosie Project for teens.
There are only two things MJ wants in her final year of high school:
1) Glowing grades and …
2) to convince uber-smart, chiselled-jaw Jason they’d be a winning team outside the science lab as well as in.
Tutoring deadbeat drummer, Luke, isn’t part of the plan. After all, he has average intelligence, takes disorganised notes and looks like a partied-out zombie at their study sessions! Not even his taut biceps will win MJ over.
But MJ learns that she could be tutored in a few life lessons too: That sometimes there’s good reason to skip chemistry tutorials. That intelligence is so much more than a grade average.
And that sometimes you can’t beat the chemistry.
She’s sharing a character casting board and an exclusive sneak peek at the first 2 chapters of Can’t Beat the Chemistry with YASHers. The book doesn’t hit shelves until April 20th, so be one of the first to take a look! And I co-sign this character board for sure!
