Star Fire Twitter Party

**This contest is closed - winner has been contacted by e-mail**

Congratulations to Diana - winner of the Star Fire bag of awesomeness  :)
Enjoy your prize!!

It's June 30, that means it's Twitter Party time for Katie' M John's STAR FIRE!!  Here's a blurb:

"Egypt changed them both in ways no one ever expected. As murder and dark arts cast a terrible shadow over both The Real World and The Realm. Mina's connection to the mysterious Star Fire Sisterhood results in her becoming The Templar's number one suspect.
Set amongst the snowy mountains of Switzerland and the ancient magical forests of France, Blake and the House of Beldevier are given just one chance to save Mina's life - the recovery of The Holy Grail.
In this epic heart-racing finale, ancient myths come alive and old scores are settled. One thing for sure ... the clock is ticking."

Star Fire, the thrilling conclusion to the Knight Trilogy by Katie M John, is a twisting maze of deceit, love, and friendship.   Blake and co are given one chance to save Mina, and to do so, they must split up and work together for the sake of not just their friend, but for all mankind.  Time is of the essence. Love and friendship are put to the test.  But who will conquer their demons, and who will fall by the wayside?

The story starts off where we last left off, with Blake and Mina returning to college after an eventful summer, where they hope to resume a normal life.  But, of course, things don't always go as planned.  Katie's lyrical writing sets the scene in a sometimes fanciful world, as we watch our four friends battle for Mina's life, and she tries to understand just exactly what she has become.  It comes to a heart pounding conclusion that leaves no one untouched.  I loved finally getting to know Delta better; she has been an enigma throughout the series, and has become quite a fan favorite.   I often found myself surprised at the turn of events unfolding in front of my eyes, and exclaimed to myself out loud on a few occasions.  I laughed, I cried,  I cheered, I felt afraid for them....   

To celebrate the release of Star Fire, I have a lovely package of goodies to give away to one lucky reader -  Behold the bag of awesomeness:

TCA's 2011

So, I was reading on twitter a lot of the comments about the Teen Choice awards last night, and I wonder why some people think they are so horrible?  Is it because their own choices were not winning?  Because they don't respect teen's choices?  I read an interesting article comparing the 'Twihards' to the 'Trekkies' - and how it's okay to be a Trekkie because there are a lot of males, but Twihards get a bad rap because they are teens and females - but they are essentially the same thing! The inequality astounds me!  ( Imma gonna try to find that article again - was interesting) I kind of enjoyed the TCA's - it's a lighthearted show that doesn't take itself too seriously and  is fun to watch - the speeches were more fun( from Ashton's singing Teenage Dream to Rob speech supporting Cancer Bites)  I didn't think all the musical acts were terrible ( like a lot of twitterers did) - did they expect perfection from a live show? Do they ever go to live concerts? Do they prefer lip syncing? I don't...

Here's a full list of the winners: http://www.tvguide.com/News/Teen-Choice-Awards-Winners-1036207.aspx

Now I have to say, it's been a bit of time since I was a teen(AHEM) but I still like to think of myself as being young at heart.  I enjoy a lot of the same TV, movies, books and music as today's teens, and now that my oldest son is officially a teen, I get to share those things with him.  I'm very happy for Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Vampire Diaries, Harry Potter, and Glee for getting all their awards - I'm huge fans of all of them :)  And my daughter is a big fan of Taylor Swift ( in fact, she has tickets to go see her in concert next week, which she received as a birthday present) So we were excited for her big wins last night too.

Here's a few fav pics from last night that I found on the web :)
