PORTAL, a YA Time Travel Fantasy

[Imogen Rose]

Hi, Imogene

Just read all the way through your thread. Your book sounds awesome, so I have to purchase it!

And I went, Awwwww, when viewing your doggie, Tallulah, and little Lola's picture of your book and reviews. Love the t-shirt Lola wears also. Your biggest fan. So sweet.

Keep posting pictures like this if you can. I love the added personal touch.  

P.S. And Let222's baby boy in the Avatar is adorable. Blue for boy, right?

Nancy

Thanks, Nancy!  I'll do my best!

[LET222]

Awww thanks... I may be partial, but I think he is pretty cute myself javascript:void(0);

Tallulah is doing my weekly bump again! She is modeling her "Team Gertrude" t-shirt.




Other news.....  the sequel... EQUILIBRIUM.... is done and was sent to my editor today!

[David McAfee]

Thanks, Helen. She even drew herself wearing a grey PORTAL t-shirt!

That's awesome! Love that card. How old is your daughter?

My daughter is 15, and has forgotten my birthday 3 years running. Let alone Father's Day.

Thanks, David. I've got two daughters, nine (the one who made the card) and seventeen. My seventeen-year-old is all abut herself at the moment as well. She's heading off to college in Fall!

I just finished Portal yesterday.  Great story!  I'll post a review too, as soon as I get the chance.

Can't wait for the next one!

Thanks, Vicki!  My next one, EQUILIBRIUM, is in with the editor at the moment!  I started on book three (QUANTUM) this week.

Previously I had said something about changing your cover entirely, I have reversed my opinion. After seeing my three up at amazon the style of my covers definitely connects them. It is obvious they are a series and I think while your story doesn't have anything to do with the moon the different phases may connect the books together in peoples mind as a series as well. Hope your books are doing well.

Thanks, EliseBell. I take the moon pics myself, so they are precious to me and I love seeing them on the cover. Here are the three together....

 


PORTAL seems to be doing very well at the moment. The sequel has not been released yet (still on the editor's desk). I have just started writing book three.

On another note, here is a recent blog review by Book Harlot:

Portal is a great book.  Both my daughter and I loved it.  It is currently featured on my review site: http://breakoutbooks.blogspot.com/  Come over and read my review.

[MLPMom]

I also purchased your book, (it looks great) but sadly I haven't been able to start it yet. I have so much on my TBR list, but I do plan on getting to it soon.

Dawn, thank you so much for featuring my book!

For my weekly bump I thought I would share the song I constantly listened to while writing the sequel...

There is a new interview with Imogen on Breakout Books Book Reviews.   Come over and see what she has to say about Portal.

[Nancy C. Johnson, Author]

Congratulations on your new book, Imogen!

And on starting the third. You are moving right along!!

I liked the Portal Q&A on Breakout Books - and now I know why you look so stunning in a scarf, Imogen!

[Imogen Rose]

Thank you Dawn, Nancy and Helen (my H-addiction is revealed now,  ).

[Victorine]

I love the scarf too.  I wish I looked that good in a scarf.

I'll subject you to a H girls outing ( always includes bubbly and lunch at Barneys) the next time you are in NYC....

I know this isn't my genre, but I just had to buy it. I love the concept and the only thing that was holding me back was that a teen was the protagonist. However, that's kind of minor since so many of my favorite movies with similar themes and have teen as the star like Freaky Friday and Back to the Future.

When I'm done with it, I'd like to post a review on my blog. Is that okay? I have a lot of YA writers who are followers. It may be awhile though, as I have to read Shanghai Girls for a book club by next week.

I am beyond excited that you decided to take a chance on my book, Mary. I look forward to hearing what you think. Like Freaky Friday, the book does have a very involved mom. In fact, it's the mom's story line that drives the novel. Book Three (QUANTUM) which I am writing at the moment is told by her (the mom's) voice.

I would love for you to post a review on your blog! Thank you.

You have a follow up called Quantum? Awesome! The TV show Quantum Leap is like, my third favorite show EVER. :-) Actually, it's tied for second with Early Edition. Those are both behind Friday Night Lights, the best drama in the history of television (that last bit is a quote from the LA Times TV critic and I totally agree with him.)
