She is overwhelmed with guilt, something having to do with Tyler's suicide that the reader doesn't know about. Her grades are dropping, and she might lose her chance to get admitted to MIT. Lexie is also trying to sort out her feelings after breaking up with her first boyfriend, a boy who was also a long-time and close friend. Her mother is withdrawing from life, finding increasing solace in alcohol. She's struggling with the emotional wreckage caused by her father's decision to run off with a younger woman. In this book, Cynthia Hand's narrator, Alexis, is grieving the suicide death of her younger brother, Tyler. They get to write about the sweet stuff - young love! - but also the harrowing moments that stem from the intense waves of emotion that buffet teens. Writers who target this audience generally have a clean writing style and a willingness to address a wider range of human experience than the warped love and ubiquitous sex that permeates adult fiction.

InĪsimov has written a timely and timeless novel of the best-and worst-that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire-both scientists and scholars-and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future-to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years.

Synopsis: Edgar Allan Poe is credited with having pioneered the short story, having perfected the tale of psychological horror, and having revolutionized modern poetics. I've entered it in three contests so far, two of which, Writer's Digest and Booklife, give professional critiques to all entrants. When I decided to start entering writing contests, Primogénito was the first book I wanted to put out there. Some people find it a little too slow at the beginning and others are turned off by its dark themes, but general consensus seems to be that it's a decent book. No one really hated it, but only a select few gushed over it the way I'd hoped. So I published Primogénito and reviews began to trickle in from readers and book bloggers. I assumed everyone else would love it because I assumed everyone else kept their feels in the same place I keep mine. A primary concern of mine in writing it was to hit myself in my own feels, so to speak. Primogénito doesn't exactly qualify as navel-gazing, but it is none-the-less a very personal work. Now that I've put a couple of years distance between me and those two books, I can look at them more objectively and see that Amelia's Children has more mainstream appeal. Readers, on the other hand, seem to flock to Amelia's Children while avoiding Primogénito like the plague. It's deeper, darker, and richer in detail. Primogénito just plays on my heartstrings more than Amelia's Children does. Of my first two books, Amelia's Children and Primogénito, I openly admit to having a favorite. That doesn't stop it from hurting though. You expect to get a few critical reviews when you put a book out into the world.
