I’m hosting author Courtney Alameda, author of SHUTTER. Hi, Courtney! 


About Courtney:


Courtney Alameda has spent her entire career trying to con and cajole people into reading great books. A veteran bookseller and librarian, Courtney now spends her days writing thriller and horror novels for young people. Her debut novel, SHUTTER, was hailed as a "standout in the genre . . . [and] sure to please thriller fans" by School Library Journal. Her forthcoming novel, PITCH DARK (Fall 2016), is a genre-blending science fiction/horror novel in the vein of Ridley Scott's 1979 film ALIEN.

Courtney holds a B.A. in English Literature with an emphasis in Creative Writing from Brigham Young University. She is represented by the talented John M. Cusick of Greenhouse Literary. A Northern California native, she now resides in Utah with a legion of books and a five pound cat who possesses a giant personality.

************

About SHUTTER:


Micheline Helsing is a tetrachromat—a girl who sees the auras of the undead in a prismatic spectrum. As one of the last descendants of the Van Helsing lineage, she has trained since childhood to destroy monsters both corporeal and spiritual: the corporeal undead go down by the bullet, the spiritual undead by the lens. With an analog SLR camera as her best weapon, Micheline exorcises ghosts by capturing their spiritual energy on film. She's aided by her crew: Oliver, a techno-whiz and the boy who developed her camera's technology; Jude, who can predict death; and Ryder, the boy Micheline has known and loved forever.

When a routine ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected with a curse known as a soulchain. As the ghostly chains spread through their bodies, Micheline learns that if she doesn't exorcise her entity in seven days or less, she and her friends will die. Now pursued as a renegade agent by her monster-hunting father, Leonard Helsing, she must track and destroy an entity more powerful than anything she's faced before . . . or die trying.

Lock, stock, and lens, she’s in for one hell of a week.

*******

SHUTTER sounds awesome and I love that cover. Now for Courtney’s BONUS CONTENT—it’s truly hilarious. In this link, Courtney tries Vegemite for the first time and captures it on camera!


I have to agree with you, Courtney. I’ve tried Vegemite before and I think my eyes watered too! I think the Aussies can find at least 26 things to put Vegemite on, but thank you so much for reminding me to never try it again! 

For more about Courtney, check out her website and Tumblr, and order SHUTTER for yourselves here

ALSO, dear Hunters, I'm giving away a personalized and signed copy of THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE CURSED! Leave a comment here and either follow me on Twitter or Google+! Let me know if you've already read TB&TC!! If you end up winning and want either THE LOVELY AND THE LOST or THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED, I'll send you one of those instead! 

Now, Hunters, it’s time to travel on to the always awesome, Amy Plum

  76. I'm Australian and I hate Vegemite! So gross! But the thing to remember is that only a very little amount is spread on our toast or sandwiches...certainly less than Courtney ate off the spoon!! ;-)

    1. So good to know about the amount of Vegemite! I thought it was so salty the first time I ate it, but I probably had way too much too!

      Delete
  77. My best friend in middle school was australian, and she would always compare vegemite to peanut butter. Now I'm wondering if she has ever actually tried peanut butter, because ew, that sounds nothing like peanut butter.

  78. Okay, I *have* to ask you a question, because every single time I see your name, I think about it again. Is Page Morgan your real name? Paige Morgan was the main character in The Prince & Me. It's honestly been driving me nuts!

    I haven't read anything of yours yet! So I'd be pretty psyched to check out anything :) Once I, you know, stop wondering about The Prince & Me!

    I'm following you through G+ (Sarah Miles).

    1. Ha! No, Page Morgan is my pen name, but I actually didn't know about The Prince and Me until after :-) Someone else pointed it out. I watched it and really like the movie!

      Delete
    2. Thanks for responding! :) I get hung up on things sometimes, like wondering about your name. In college, I stared at a professor's shirt the entire lecture because it had some green stringy looking design on it. I could not figure out what it was. No clue what the lecture was about, but I still remember that navy and bright green t-shirt!

      I completely <3 The Prince & Me. It's just one of those smiley movies. Love the actress in 10 Things I Hate About You, too! (...and Heath Ledger's performance on the bleachers)
