The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth Laban @ElizabethLaBan.

This is hard to tell but the first word I have is PROFOUND. I know there isnt anyone who reads this that will not be completely blown away. The situations and the story is pretty complex and dare I say tragic. There is a part when Tim answers to Mr Simon, the English teacher, that he didn’t know id he meant tragic in the literary sense. That was like boom BIG reveal. You will get what happens next. They say you give five 5 yes 5 stars to a book that leaves you thinking, maybe laughing, maybe crying, but this left me hopeful! Sometimes even a senior can “get it” , really make a choice and understand what that choice means.

I feel so blessed to get ARC’s and blog, this is such an honor for me and I wish I could meet the author. I will say that the book description in my opinion is not accurate. I did my own edit. It is released in Jan and then I will come back and add my quotes from my clippings. Now if I did it would ruin it. Let me tell you I totally GOT it.

My version:
Tim Macbeth is a 17-year-old albino and a recent transfer to the prestigious Irving School, where the motto is, “Enter here to be and find a friend.” Tim has never been comfortable with his appearance and he really understands that people are staring and looking, but in a good way they are curious, not making fun or thinking he is a freak. When his Mom and Step Dad (who loves Tim like he is his own Son) decide that they will move to Italy and Tim will have one GREAT senior year at his Alma mater, Irving. There is a huge snow storm and at the airport he meet Vanessa. She treats him so totally normal that when he says he has a room, she goes across to the hotel with him and for the first time Tim is not albino, he is just Tim. She tells him she is going to Irving, he can’t bring himself to tell her he is going too. He knows she has a boyfriend, Patrick (not a fan of his) Tim and Vanessa enter into a clandestine relationship, but looming over them is the Tragedy Paper, Irving’s version of a senior year thesis, assigned by the school’s least forgiving teacher.

The story unfolds from two alternating viewpoints: Tim, the tragic, love-struck figure, and Duncan, a current senior, who uncovers the truth behind Tim’s story. Tim gave Duncan the story. As ritual and traditions are tested the story takes a few turns in the last 1/3 that blows my mind. Tim and Vanessa’s story is told and the entire truth is revealed. Can Duncan produce the greatest Tragedy Paper in Irving’s history? 

This is a MUST read

Huddle…

Break!

I have said it before, I’ll say it again, nothing prepares you for a lifelong dream coming true. So when that dream gets bigger, bolder, brighter and broader, well, sistahs and bruthas, pure goodness.

What I’m talking about is that my agent, Emily Sylvan Kim of Prospect Agency and I are moving forward with Grand Central Publishing into Dream Big, Phase Two.

Grand Central Publishing has purchased my Dream Man Series and my Colorado Mountain Series. They will be re-releasing these in eBooks and… wait for it… in print! Yee ha!

If that wasn’t enough goodness, I’m also working with them to publish the next two in theColorado Mountain Series and to launch the Dream Man spin-off, The Chaos Series.

In fact, you thought I was pulling back on my hectic schedule but GCP already has the first ofChaos, Tabby and Shy’s story. They are moving full steam ahead to release that goodness out to you (and, by the by, the second is a third of the way written! – you know, no grass grows under this Rock Chick).

One of the things that makes this team unbeatable, for me, GCP is fully behind my drive to continue to weave my dreams and give them to you. Therefore, I will carry on self-publishing including the finale of my Rock Chick Series as well as more in my Fantasyland Series, ‘Burg Series, Unfinished Hero Series and anything else I dream up.

It’s exciting, if busy times for me and my team and, truth be told, I’m not entirely certain it’s all sunk in yet.

Who knows what’ll happen next? I just know, you put yourself out there, the sky could be the limit if you work hard and are true to yourself.

Yes, I know this. How? Living proof, sistahs and bruthas! I’m floating in the clouds and it… is… awesome!

Amy Pierpont, my editor at GCP, really gets my voice and is a committed partner in helping me shine. We’re excited to unveil what we’re working on as a team. In fact, Amy asked me to include a comment from her:

“I discovered and fell in love with Kit’s books the way many of you did—a friend pulled me aside one day and said, “Kristen Ashley. Read her.” I started with Motorcycle Man (because, seriously, who doesn’t love a hot guy on a hot bike?) and there was no turning back. The more Kit stories I read, the more I loved, and the more I knew I had to get Kit’s books into the hands of as many readers as possible. Kit’s an incredible storyteller, and while we’ll be very careful to preserve Kit’s voice and her vision for the stories, our goal is to help her reach even more fans, and to that end we’ll be giving her editorial guidance, copyediting, proofreading, and some kickass new covers. And, of course, we’ll be rounding up Rock Chicks nationwide to help us spread the word—so stay tuned for how you can be part of Kit’s journey!”
