For a little while now, I've been trying to up my game when it comes…
New Release: Hotline Girl by K. Dawn Byrd
Dawn has been lovely enough to host my books on her blog as they’ve come out, so when she mentioned that she had a new release coming out today, I jumped on the chance to give her a spotlight here.
When the school counselor asks Abby to work a counseling chat line, she begs her to choose someone else. When Race, Abby’s three-year crush, begins using the chat line to talk about his girlfriend problems, can Abby be impartial when she really wants to tell him to dump her?
Race notices Abby after she has a complete make-over. He begins to spend more time with her and feels like a cheater because he likes the hotline girl too. How can he like two girls at once?
Abby is thrilled when Race begins spending time with her, but she’s crushed when he tells the hotline girl that he likes her and wants to take her out. Is he a player? Will he even want to be with her when he finds out that she is the hotline girl and knows all his deepest secrets?
And here’s a little interview with Dawn as well:
What would you like readers to take away from your book?
It’s important that when Christian teens choose a boyfriend or girlfriend, they choose someone who shares their Christian faith.
What kind of planning do you do before writing a novel?
I fill out character sketches in order to get to know my characters better. I ask myself what their goals are, what motivates them, and what’s keeping them from reaching their goals. Sometimes, I start by writing a synopsis. This gives me information about the plot as it develops. I usually have a pretty strong plot before I actually begin the story.
What are you working on right now?
I’m working on a thriller about a serial killer. It’s a difficult story because there are several twists and turns and I have to be careful how I write it for everything to fall into place correctly.
Thanks, Dawn!
