TEN LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT ME
1) I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Portuguese was my first language, but my English is far better now.

2) I recently discovered that I love sushi.

3) My favorite Jane Austen novel is PERSUASION.

4) I asked for a compound bow for Christmas this year. Sadly, Santa Claus didn’t bring me one.

5) While I know how to shoot a bow, I don’t think it’s a very safe hobby, considering where I live, so maybe Saint Nick knew what he was doing.

6) I think one of the best things about being a writer is the sense of community (Take that, myth of the solitary writer!)

7) The dancing flames of a campfire or the sound of waves breaking? I have never been able to decide which is more beautiful. (What do you think?)

8) I love school. If I could, I’d be a student every day of my life.

9) I have a habit of collecting photos of geological survey marks. Want to see?

10) I’m a painter. I have big plans to combing my writing and painting someday.

Thanks for having me today and I hope you enjoy UNDER THE NEVER SKY!

UNDER THE NEVER SKY (Under the Never Sky #1)
Released February 7, 2012 from Atom

Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she’s never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim. 

Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He’s searching for someone too. He’s also wild – a savage – but might be her best hope at staying alive. 

If they can survive, they are each other’s best hope for finding answers

This book sounds interesting. I haven't really been a fan of much dystopian so far, but this sounds like more my sort of thing.

Thanks for running the giveaway!

I just today put this one in my On My Wishlist post! *fingers crossed*

I like the sound of waves breaking or the CACKLE of the flames of a campfire. There's something hypnotic about sounds. Just close your eyes and… listen.

Is a compound bow the best kind? My son has taken up archery and I was wondering if it's worth trying to buy him one.

Oh and on point 7 – I'm like you and can't decide between them either.
