Welcome to the Book Blitz for Under the Desert Moon by Emma Meade! Let's give her a big, warm welcome as she shares a guest post with us today!
Unfinished
Work
I
have a stockpile of half complete novels and some barely started
books that I hope to return to some day. Among them is a novel set
in Ireland and Boston following a teenage vampire hunter, Sarah
Knight. This was the first novel I ever wrote and actually
completed. I started it the summer after I finished secondary school
(high school), but re-wrote it several times over the years. I also
have the outline of the follow up novel to it jotted down somewhere.
Another
story I began back in school calls to me at times. Set in a time of
Celtic myths and legends, it follows the story of a daughter of a
Chieftain who has no idea of her ties to the darker fairy world. It
is tentatively titled Ripples.
I also have a hand-written novel about a group of teenagers with
various psychic abilities. I don't think this will ever see the
light of day.
When
I was a teenager, my friend Danielle and I would write Buffy
fan fiction. We had a laugh writing new episodes featuring Xander,
Willow, Angel and co. These are all hand-written, so who knows if
I'll ever knuckle down and type these up. It might be fun just to
see how bad, or possibly good my writing was ten to fifteen years
ago.
I
also created a short science-fiction series called Anomaly.
In my dreams, I hoped it would become a TV series (feel free to
laugh here). My school pals diligently read each ‘episode’ for
me and gave me lots of feedback. God bless those girls for putting
up with me. Anomaly
focused on a high school in Massachusetts. Due to an explosion in a
genetics lab many years previously, the town's pregnant women were
infected with a virus and their children were genetically stronger
humans than normal. I wrote this a year or two before Dark
Angel came out and I remember being so
annoyed that someone beat me to the punch.
Nicky was the only 'normal' human at the school, and the series
dealt with bullying and prejudice. I must dig it out from whatever
box the scripts are hiding in one of these days, and have a read.
Author
Bio:
Emma Meade lives in rainy
Ireland. She loves vampires, slayers, witches, ghosts, aliens &
shadow men (or at least the youngest of the Shadow Men), and regular
people who live extraordinary lives (think Slayerettes and you’re
on the right track).
Books, DVDS & TV
show boxsets take up lots of space in her home, and she collects all
the Point Horror
books she can get her hands on.
Writing supernatural short
stories and watching marathon re-runs of Buffy are some of
her favourite ways of escaping reality.
