Teaser Tuesday: Dim Future #2


Hey everyone! It's been three weeks since a teaser, and I promised LAST week, that there would be one this week, so, as promised, here's the teaser!

I groaned, and tossed the blanket across the bed. “He’s going to kill me.” 

 “Correction: Axel is going to kill Jayden, who will kill you.” 

 “You’re not helping.” But I smiled a little.

There's a new character in this teaser! And I'm very excited to share them with you! ;)

Well, there's the teaser! And it's now October! And that means that the DIM FUTURE, cover, summary, and release date will be released VERY soon. Keep an eye out for the blog post!!!

THE STORM Cover Reveal + A talk with Felix Walter UPDATED

****SCROLL DOWN FOR THE UPDATED INFO!****

Ok...the moment you have ALLLLL been waiting for...the FULL cover of The Storm.

But first.....I made a puzzle widget, and once you put it together, Tweet me the picture (my Twitter: @MadisonYALouise ) and when I get 5 pictures, I'll update this post, with a interview with Felix Walter from THE STORM. :) And I'll also put the full cover in it also!

Instructions: Below, there's a picture of THE STORM, click on it. It'll load, and then it'll ask for a nickname, and your country. (you can totally lie, I did. lol) And then it might ask you if Java is allowed to load, click yes. Then it'll load again. And the puzzle will pop up. Just click on a piece, it'll turn red on the edges, and then click where you want to move it.

Use this for a guide if you need help!:



You guys ready? GO!

And...here's my interview with Felix from The Storm! (btw, I stink at writing interviews...)

Me: Hi, Felix! Thanks for taking time to join me!

Felix: *smiles* It's a pleasure, Madison!

Me: Now, Felix, tell the readers what your storm element is.

Felix: Thunder. I control thunder.

Me: Now tell them a bit about yourself, what are your hobbies?

Felix: I live with my foster parent, Marian. She's a wonderful woman. I go to school everyday, well...most days. *winks* and I'm trying to learn how to play the piano.

Me: Sounds interesting! And what's something you'd like to share, that's very teaser-ish from THE STORM?

Felix: You guys are totally going to love this book. And Madison has also given me permission to post a teaser for you guys:

He dug his fingers in my hair, and I smiled some more.

He groaned again. “I missed you, Windmill.” He murmured against my mouth.

I kissed him again. “I missed you too.”

My body felt so alive, it felt like a storm was coming, but without the pain and nausea. It was…happy. Excited. I gripped onto his suit, and tried to pull him closer, even though I knew it was impossible. 

Madison: Wow!! That's some teaser! Thank you, Felix!

Felix: Thank you, Madison!

And I want to thank everyone for participating in THE STORM Cover Reveal! I love you guys! <3 The Extras page at my website is now open! It has the playlist, characters, everything! Thanks again you guys!

PS: I will post the winner of the giveaway soon!
