*Kissed Blog Tour* Guest Post by Kimberly Loth



Dream Cast and Theme Songs - A Guest Post by Kimberly Loth

Dreamcasts are so much fun!!! Here is mine along with theme songs for each character.

Meet My main Character: Naomi-Obedient, beautiful, and brave, she’s been oppressed her whole life and she spends most of the book trying to figure out how to overcome that.

Naomi
Dreamcast: Chloe Moretz


Theme song: Are You Gonna Kiss me or Not? by Thompson Square

After Naomi, my favorite characters are her boys. I love love love Love triangles, so of course I wrote one. Will Naomi pick the right one in the end?


Kai
Dreamcast: Matt Lanter
Theme Song: Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi

Naomi's thoughts: "I looked up and saw a very handsome boy smiling down at me. He had coarse brown hair that curled around his ears and it looked like he hadn’t shaved in a few days, but he had a smile to die for."

Puck
Dreamcast: Adam Lambert

Theme Song: If I had you by Adam Lambert

Naomi's thoughts: "In the center of the picture sat a young man. He hugged his knees to his chest with hands that had painted black nails. His entire outfit was nearly all black, from the chunky boots to the half ripped t-shirt. I leaned closer to the picture. He had thick eyeliner and his hair stuck up in four-inch spikes, tipped with violet."

Throughout the book Naomi makes several friends, but her best friend is Ruth.

Ruth
Dreamcast: Molly Quinn
Theme Song: Brave by Sara Bareilles

Naomi's thoughts: "Her heart-shaped face was surrounded by hair that burst from her head like orange corkscrew noodles and her baby blue eyes sparkled with excitement. She looked a little crazy, but then I wasn’t naturally a good judge of character."


Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed my picks. If you’ve read the book, share your ideas. Who would you have picked?

The Breakers Code
by Conner Kressley

Three weeks shy of her sixteenth birthday, Cresta Karr wakes to find she has a pimple the size of Mt. Vesuvius, that the necklace her father left her is mysteriously missing, and that her house is minutes away from exploding. To top it off, Owen, the enigmatic, if slightly off-kilter guy of dreams, tells her that not only is he NOT interested in going out with her, but he's also a superspy sent by a clandestine organization to keep tabs on her.

Turns out Cresta is the subject of a 500 year old prophecy, and if Owen and the other “Breakers” can't find a way to circumvent the future before she turns sixteen, Cresta is destined to bring about the end of the world -- something she'd rather not have on her college applications. That is, of course, if the gun-toting cult members piling onto her front porch don't get to her first.

Happy birthday, Cresta.


About the Author

Conner Kressley is an avid reader and all around lover of storytelling. His book "The Breaker’s Code" is the first in the epic "Fixed Points" series that pits free will against fate and true love against good intentions and bad situations.

When he’s not writing about teenagers who have way too much on their plates, Conner can be found in the back roads of Georgia watching old movies, geeking out over books (comic and otherwise), and planning the next of his (some would say way too frequent) trips to Disneyworld. He also loves nature, stories where people are running for their lives, and all things "Southern".

PANDORA is a Success! #Kindle #Bestseller

Yes, I admit it. I have been sitting here for the past two days mentally singing Celebration. Okay, so it wasn't always mentally :) But I think it was a justified use of singing time in the Fristoe household. Why?

PANDORA hit the Amazon Top 100 Best Seller List!!!

I have had my books on the Top 100 Free list, but this isn't the Free list. This is the list that means people see the value in the book. And there is a lot of value in the Pandora box set. 20 books for 99Cents is an amazing deal!

But Pandora is a limited time offer and is only available until September 5th. So, if you haven't picked up your copy yet, there is still time, but it's running out!!



You can also check out the Pandora Party Page on Facebook where we are giving away a ton of amazing prizes!
