YA Avengers: Who they are and why they are awesome.

When I think of The Avengers, I think of the TV series from the Sixties, but these avengers focus on the Young Adult genre. They save the world, one word at a time.

In keeping with their superhero theme, let's start with their mission: Helping YOU get published. 
The YAvengers blog follows Loki’s journey to getting his YA novel Growing Pains and World Domination published, beginning when he admits to needing the help of the Avengers. It is our mission to provide him and by extension, you, with our best writing and publishing tips, while also giving away ARCs, recommending books, doing Truth or Dare Fridays, and other randomness along the way. 

The bloggers all have aliases such as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Phil Coulson, and... Loki.

They offer a Twitter Chat, the most recent being this last Friday from 7-8pm Pacific time. 

According to the Update, 'The #YAvengers Twitter Chat went extremely well! Natasha and I were present to ask questions and discuss Genre in YA Literature, as well as answer general writing questions. Those who came were insightful and inquisitive. Thank you to those who participated! We would love to have another next month on the topic of STORY STRUCTURE to go along with the Team's posts for February. Keep your eyes on this blog for the day and time'.

They are open to suggestions for chat topics. So do you want in on the Twitter Chat? Are you a YA writer who wants to get published? Click here: http://www.yavengers.com

How about those Cowboys? Check out Whispers of Sage by Bil Howard.

When I think of Westerns, even Western romances, I think of TV shows from the 50s and 60s. I think of all those movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. What about now? Here's a Cowboy meets girl romance between an Easterner and a Westerner.

When Katherine’s fiancé, Sean, was transferred from Pittsburgh to Scottsdale, Arizona,

their wedding plans were put on hold. Katherine, who was not known to do anything alone or without someone on the other end of her cell phone, decided to quit her job, pack their things and surprise Sean by driving cross-country by herself. Not particularly adept at navigation, her car breaks down in the most unlikely of places; what passes for a road in the mountains of Colorado.

Rescued by a cowboy

Rescued by Ethan, a cowboy and horseman, whose summer place is less than a mile from where she is stranded, Katherine is shocked by the dichotomy of his backward lifestyle that is mixed with a simple, yet profound intelligence. However, it is his skill with horses, the way that he can see straight into her soul and his gentle touch that send her into a tailspin.

Reality sets in

Though she is beginning to forget Sean, Ethan won’t allow her to stay as long as she has the ring on her finger. With a promise to keep, Katherine continues her journey to Scottsdale, but is never able to shake the deep change that had began within her and she discovers that the wind rushing through her hair, the smell of the pine, the whispers of the sage and the feel of a horse underneath her have changed her entire outlook.
