Hello everyone, first I need to apologize that this post is just now coming up. I did this post the other day and saved it and had it set to come up today and when I went to open it, it was blank so I am panicking. We are hearing today from Georgia Cates and her newest release Going Under. She is going to tell us a little bit about why she decided to change genre's for a while.

Changes in my Style of
Writing
People will see an entirely different
writing style in Going Under than what they saw in my first book, Blood of
Anteros. I’ve only published two books, so this is still relatively new to me
and I want to explore the different avenues to find what it the best fit for me
and my imagination.
In Blood of Anteros, Book One of The
Vampire Agápe Series, I was able to explore the paranormal side of my
imagination. I loved how the paranormal element gave me the ability to imagine
anything and make it happen. Simply put-it was fun.
In Going Under, I was able to explore
writing geared more in the teen direction. Where Blood of Anteros has little
humor, Going Under is infused with it-especially from Claire’s best friend,
Payton. (Gosh, I love that girl.)
I have learned some things about my
abilities as a writer while on this journey. I wish I could please everyone,
but I can’t. I’ve learned to take criticism. It’s a hard pill to swallow
sometimes, but better in pill form than a suppository. (I’m laughing out loud
as I type that.) I’m not limited to one basic style of writing. I am an
incredibly dynamic person and so is my writing. What does that mean? Expect the
unexpected.
I never intended for Going Under to be a
series, but readers have asked for Payton’s story. This tells me I did
something right, so I’m considering it. I placed a poll on my blog to help
measure the demand for it. If you’ve read Going Under and want to hear Payton’s
story, I ask you to go my blog at georgiacates.com and take a vote.
Jessie Boone is a self
proclaimed bad boy and doesn’t march to the beat of anyone’s drum, but his own.
Growing up in less than desirable circumstances has made him no stranger to the
hard knock life and his determination to leave it behind is fierce. When he
finds himself transferred to East Franklin High School, he sees his opportunity
to use his athletic ability to snag a college football scholarship, but Forbes
Henderson, the player Jessie means to replace isn’t giving up his spot
willingly. In fact, Forbes is willing to go to extreme measures to retain his
place as first string quarterback. When Forbes’ malicious plan to injure his
replacement fails, Jessie is furious and determined to show him he messed with
the wrong person; not only is he going to take the position of first string
quarterback, he’s going to take his girl, too.
Claire Deveraux is
perfection at it’s best. She is beautiful, intelligent and unaware she just
became Jessie Boone’s conquest as revenge against her boyfriend, Forbes
Henderson. Like her flawless performance as the perfect daughter and student,
Claire’s production of being the perfect girlfriend has everyone fooled, except
Jessie Boone, and she fears this tattooed bad boy will see her secret desire to
explore his crude threats and promises to rock her perfect world. If she
decides to give in to one uninhibited moment with Jessie, will she learn too
late that it was all an act of vengeance or will Jessie learn the taste of
first love is sweeter than that of revenge?
