AUTHORS ARE ROCKSTARS TOUR: Nova Ren Suma

Hello everyone!

Today, I'm very happy to be a part of the fabulous AUTHORS ARE ROCKSTARS Tour hosted by Fiktshun, Two Chicks On Books, and Magical Urban Fantasy Reads! It is such a fantastic idea, and I am very grateful for having been selected to participate. Not only was I really excited to be chosen, I was ecstatic that I was paired up with the fantastic Nova Ren Suma! Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, Nova couldn't be on the blog this time around. I decided to still do a feature for her books though, because she absolutely is a rockstar author!

Nova Ren Suma is the author of a few novels including Imaginary Girls and 17 & Gone, both of which deal with heavy topics in stunning ways. One thing you know you're going to get when you pick up a Nova Ren Suma book is gorgeous prose. Words that will stun and amaze you. Her words will bury themselves in your heart and won't ever let go. I am blown away by her writing, and wish I could be as talented as she is. When I was reading 17 & Gone, I felt like her words had reached out and claimed me and there was simply no way I could stop reading them. That opening prologue is so beautiful I just want to hug it. 

Another thing Nova excels at is creating unique and intriguing concepts. Her books are filled with real people in magical and sometime terrifying places. The worlds she creates are so vivid and imaginative even though they are set in realistic circumstances. Her stories also feature powerful narration and really lasting characters. These aren't cardboard copies but rather real and beautiful people whose stories will mesmerize you. They will haunt you, inspire you, and make you remember them. Nova Ren Suma can write like nobody's business and that alone makes her a rockstar author.

Nova is also so appreciative of her fans. Back in March, I hosted 17 & Gone Week on the blog to celebrate the release of her sophomore novel. Not only did she offer up a signed copy for an international giveaway, she surprised me with a special package. In it, there was a signed copy of 17 & Gone, some bookmarks, and a thank-you card. To say the gesture brought me to tears was an understatement. It was an amazingly sweet gesture and one I will never forget. 

Nova also runs a blog called Distraction no.99. On it, she features debut authors, writing tips, and posts about writer life to help future writers and newbie authors. She also hosts writing workshops for aspiring novelists. I think it's fantastic that she would take the time to be so helpful and supportive of other members of the writing community.

In short, Nova Ren Suma rocks. And you really need to read her books.
