Snow Moon
OK, so I wrote book 2 pretty fast since I was excited about telling Jessa and Micha's story. I wanted to let the reads understand the struggles Micha faced before he got to the place he is with Jessa. Even now, in the book, he has a hard time trusting people and himself. He is put through "the ringer" to keep peace for him and the the realms.
I know this book will have more of a YA feel then the first. Jessa has things to think of and Micha is put in a situation that most men can't handle well. Doing this, I'm afraid of loosing younger readers. Will I push them away because the characters kiss more or Micha is feeling all these emotions a "man" isn't suppose to feel?
I hope when readers pick up this book they will feel the emotion, the fear, the sorrow that the characters feel. I want you to lay the book down when you are finished and take a breath, wondering if love does conquer all.
