I've always enjoyed reading books aimed at teens and young adults, especially coming of age series best sellers, they speak to my own inner teen, so you'll find lots of this throughout the series. Q - Why did you want to write paranormal romance and adventure novels? A - I love thinking about love and re-imagining my own teenage years, making them much more exciting! This series has been ten years in the writing and Ruby Carmichael and her paranormal adventures and romance can now be released for others to immerse themselves into. I wanted to write young teen and young adult books that engaged and excited readers of all ages and I hope The School of Exorcists has achieved that. Q - What does it mean to you when readers buy your books? A - I get a huge smile on my face, it great to know people enjoy my writing. Paranormal romance and adventure books can get a bad rap, too much Twilight and not enough action, but I will always enjoy this type of writing, and if I never sell another book and the best seller list isn't for me, I will still write paranormal books because I love them. The School of Exorcists has so many stories to tell, lots of undead, plenty of ghosts and magic by the bucket load. The School is going to keep me busy for years, and I hope readers will enjoy this journey with me. The School of Exorcists Teen and Young Adult Paranormal Romance and Adventure series categories: - Teen and YA Romance Ghosts - Teen and YA Sci-Fi Fantasy Series - Paranormal Books for Teens and Young Adults - Teen and YA paranormal and Fantasy Books - Coming of Age Series - Teen and Young Adult paranormal and Fantasy Books
