SO, as I mentioned in the last blog post, I talked about how I’d moved blogs, and today I’ve turned twenty… so I won’t be posting on this blog anymore…at all! So this is a reminder to everyone who follows me to move over to https://karaterzis.wordpress.com/ where you can find updates & bookish news & life updates … Continue reading
I literally cannot believe that today is the day. FRAYED, my YA psychological mystery/thriller, is out TODAY. (P.S if you see a picture of FRAYED in the wild, tweet me a picture @kara_terzis!) I literally have NO IDEA how to write this post properly without a lot of squealing and excitement (and tears. I’m literally … Continue reading
I’m writing this literally moments after I’ve finished drafting my most recent WIP, THE FLAMES ARE LEGION. (I’m on a total roll with writing now…and I’ve been meaning to write this post for ages.) So, so sorry for taking forever to get another blog post up; I realize my last post was literally in … Continue reading
So as I’m writing this, I’m preparing myself to start a high fantasy/romance THE FLAMES ARE LEGION (loosely inspired by the Norse mythology), and I’m super, super excited to dive into it. It’s a novel I’ve been thinking about for a long time and it’s filled with EVERYTHING I love in fantasy: magic, badass female … Continue reading
Before I dive into this post, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s bought/reviewed/read FRAYED. And a special shoutout to all the incredible booksellers out there—you guys do an amazing job and don’t get half the credit you deserve! FRAYED was due out in Australia in September, but it’s already started … Continue reading
Okay, so as you might know, one of my current WIPs (among many) is a YA sci-fi. Space opera, to be exact. Right now it’s currently untitled and that’s bugging the hell out of me, although I’ve been kicking around a few ideas (The Omega Cycle, Among the Dark Sky, This Infinite World… although nothing … Continue reading
Heyy, everyone! I know—it feels like it’s been forever since I last blogged, so this post might be quite long. To begin with, I’m going to be SUPER self-promo-y and share a FANTASTIC review of Frayed from SLJ: “Gripping, raw, and intriguing… This is a plot-driven, suspense-filled spine-tingling tale that ends with an unforeseen twist… … Continue reading
Hi, everyone!!! Lately my blogging has been so, SO inconsistently, and, well, so has my reading. I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump these past couple of weeks. That being said, I have read some really, really great books lately, so here it goes. I’ll start with LADY MIDNIGHT by Cassandra Clare. I think … Continue reading
Before I dive into my actual post… If you missed it, you’ve got eleven more days to enter my INT pre-order giveaway of FRAYED! Super-easy to enter, and the winner will be drawn randomly & emailed once the giveaway is over. :) Last week, I was thinking about the books that inspire me, as a … Continue reading
So, I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile. But now that FRAYED is up on retail sites, Goodreads, and if you’re a reviewer you can even request it on Netgalley, it seems like a good time. (note: I don’t actually know whether Sourcebooks will accept Australian reviewers as they only have limited galleys to give away… but … Continue reading
