Interview with Seth Prescott & Unlovable Giveaway!!

*Greta clears throat dramatically*
Yo! Ummmm Darkfallen?

*stares at Seth...sighs*

*pokes Darkfallen in the ribs*
DUDE! Like HELLO and stuff!!!! You're supposed to be doing an interview here not spacing out!!!

*flinches, wimpers ouch*
Oh yes right!! Sorry about that guys...got a little.....

Damn it!! DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, ok, ok! Right, an interview!

Alright today I would like to take them time to introduce to you a good friend of mine.
ok so maybe more like a friend of a friend...
You See indie author Sherry Gammon of her debut novel Unlovable was kind enough to get us in touch with Seth Prescott, the irrestitable undercover MET agent, all the way here from Port Fare!
So without further ado WELCOME!!
*blushes*




Darkfallen: I know you spent a lot of time with just your mom when you were little, so I guess we have her to thank for your gentleman behavior, but what about your swoon worthy good looks?


Seth:My mom used to say I'm an exactly replica of my Dad, except for my eyes, those are hers.

Greta: Mama likes!

Darkfallen: Did you always know that you would follow in your dad's footsteps?
Seth: Oh yeah! I love the spy stuff, but now that I have Maggie, I'm having second thoughts for the first time ever. It can be dangerous, and even though Maggie has never complained, I know she is afraid for me.
Greta: Cuz he's a vampire right?
Darkfallen: Shut up Greta! Not all guys who live on the edge have to be vampires
Greta: You have to admit it helps
Darkfallen: Ummm.... ok... it does sometimes
Greta: NO! It does all the time!
Darkfallen: Shhh! Stand over there and look at that shiny thing while I continue to talk to this hot guy who is in no way a VAMPIRE
Greta: But should be
Darkfallen: It’s hard enough being an undercover MET agent at such a young age, but how hard was it to go through high school…AGAIN? Shessh I really don’t think I could do it!

Seth: I was homeschooled, so really for me it is the "first" time. All I can say is, I'm glad I was homeschooled! High school is a tough place. I don't understand the cruelty that goes on. Very weird.

Greta: Does that mean your Mom voted you Prom King?

Darkfallen: Seth, you don't have to answer that.

Greta: I'm taking his silence as a YES.


Darkfallen: Honestly, what was your first thought about Maggs when you saw her. I mean you had to have heard all the rumors about her, but what did you think?

Seth: The only rumors about Mags was that her mom was a drunk. I was amazed that someone with such a tough home life was so kind to others. She seemed venerable, yet tough at the same time. A very strange dichotomy.

Greta: I'm not commenting on that cuz I don't know what dichotomy means. I'm going to assume it means sexy and very Greta-esq.

Darkfallen: You always seem so calm and grounded when you’re around Maggs, while she is always second guessing everything…so tell us are you really that way? Or does she make you as nervous as you make her?

Seth: Calm and grounded! I'm A WRECK! I've lost weight, I can't sleep. Absolutely pathetic!

Darkfallen: Ok so I’m going to get a little personal here so feel free to plead the 5th but inquiring minds want to know! So you have somehow managed to keep your “purity” in tack, which can I just say makes you even more tempting by-the-way! But since you plan to wait till marriage for that can we expect you and Maggs to get married? If so when? And more importantly…am I invited? I make really awesome wedding cakes!

Seth:I'll take you up on the cake! Thanks! As for a wedding, we will definitely be getting married, but right now, Maggie needs to get herself healthy. She doesn't need to be working on a marriage right now. Besides, she JUST turned 18. Seriously, we are not Edward and Bella;} BTW, Maggie loves those books, personally, I don't get them! Must be a girl thing.

Greta: HAHAHAS!! Awesome... wait... I got married when I was 18 ;) OH!! That means my husband is a vampire!! YES!!


Thanks for the interview! It's nice to get out of cop mode and stretch my wings a little! Much success with your book blog!

Sincerely,
Seth Prescott

Unlovable by Shannon Gammon


Unlovable

Pick up you copy today at Amazon!!

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Seventeen year-old Maggie Brown is truly the poster child for Heroin Chic, complete with her jutting bones and her dark-ringed eyes. She’s struggling with her growing feelings for the new guy at school, Seth Prescott, and fears he is just another person who will let her down, like everyone in her life has done thus far.
Seth Prescott is an undercover cop assigned to Port Fare High, and despite his job, he’s developed strong feelings for Maggie. Seth’s working tirelessly to flush out the sadistic heroin peddlers that have invaded the small town of Port Fare, New York, while Maggie fights to stay alive as the search turns deadly.
Seth and Maggie’s romantic journey is one of humor, heartbreak and self-discovery as their world is about to change forever.

Darkfallen's thoughts:

My thoughts on this book...well...

Ok here is the deal. The story is good.

Like first draft good.

Like omg-this is going to be amazing good.
 And with the help of some beta work this book could be great! Unfortunately there are things that need fixing. Like your general typo, wrong word placement, page duplication (which caused me to have de ja vu, and start wondering how it all sounded so familiar. Like am I clairvoyant? lolz) Just fixing that stuff alone I would give this book 4 stars.

There were also parts I felt could be fleshed out some, and others I thought should be cut. And in the hands of the right editor I am sure they would have.

 But this is the writer in me saying these things.

Lets give the naive Reader in me a chance to speak shall we?! Lolz

This story is twisted heartbreak wrapped in a newspaper because we can't afford wrapping paper present.

 I loved it.

 I didn't want to put it down. Yes there were times when phases or wording would make me cringe. Like here for example..

""I cried so much during the service the skin around my eyes cracked and bled. " This just doesn't make sense to me...is this even medically possible?

Then there is the fact that they kept referring to the guy wearing a "DISK in his ear. Ok bare with me here...but I'm a lover of all things pierced and it is NOT called a DISK. They can be called either GAUGES (not really the proper name but I'd be cool with it), or PLUGS.
 Don't ask why this bothered me so much but it just did;)

Back to the good though...Mags character is broken, abused, brilliance! I couldn't help but tear up at how this poor girl lives. I mean people spread rumors that she is anorexic because of how skinny she is when the truth is far worse...that her mother spends all their money an booze so the poor girl is starving to death.

 LITERALLY!!

 I love her and wanted to tuck her under my arm, tell it was going to be okay, move her in with me, and feed her all the cheeseburgers she could eat.

Then there is Seth and how he is by far the sweetest man I think I've ever met.

And folks.....guess what?

This YA novel didn't follow the standard "Love at first sight" rule!!
 Nope nope the love here was very much worked for and earned which makes it that much better!!

Overall I would say...Read It.
