Lumière–A Romantic Steampunk Fantasy–my debut novel, is the recipient of an indieBRAG Medallion!!! B.R.A.G. As promised I’ve returned with a review of Jacqueline Garlick’s Lumiere, the first book in The Illumination Paradox, a young adult trilogy started back in 2013. An excerpt from Lumière earned me the 2012 Don Maass Break Out Novel Intensive Scholarship. In my former life, I was a teacher (both grade school and college-don’t ask), but more recently I’ve been a graduate of Ellen Hopkin’s Nevada Mentor Program and a student of James Scott Bell, Christopher Vogler and Don Maass.

Because of this, I am often referred to as the Quentin Tarantino of YA among writing friends. My writing style has been described as edgy and rule-breaking, and by some–a touch Tim Burton-esque. You will always find a purple wall (or two) in my house (currently in my writing room), and there may or may not be a hidden passageway that leads to a mystery room. (Okay, so you won’t find a hidden passageway, but a girl can dream, can’t she?) Oh, and tea. I prefer creating things to cleaning things, and believe laughter is a one-stop-shop solution to all that ails you.

I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate, grammar, and technology and would rather hang out with a dog, than a cat. I love to read, write, paint (walls and paper). In Noir, the second thrilling addition to Jacqueline E. I love strong heroines, despise whiny sidekicks, and adore a good story about a triumphant underdog. Even in a land of eternal twilight, secrets cant stay hidden forever. I’m Jacqueline Garlick, author of young adult and new adult fiction.
