cover_V1
A captivating debut about the fragility of life, love, and perspective.
When Chase dies tragically, Alex embraces her own mortality. What she didn’t expect was that she’d have to make a choice: forget the years of pain and suffering once and for all, or linger as a spirit and get another chance at life and love.
Alex doesn’t hesitate to choose; she’d follow Chase anywhere. But the spirit world is nothing like she expected, and Alex finds she's forced to fight for her life once more. For even in a world where secrets are buried much deeper than six feet under, a legacy can continue to haunt you—and in a place this dangerous, no one is resting in peace.

About-the-Author


A. Lynden Rolland
A. Lynden Rolland was born and raised in a picturesque town obsessed with boats and blue crabs. She has always been intrigued by the dramatic and the broken, compiling her eccentric tales of tragic characters in a weathered notebook she began to carry in grade school. She is a sports fanatic, a coffee addict, and a lover of Sauvignon Blanc and thunderstorms. When she isn’t hunched behind a laptop at her local bookstore, she can be found chasing her two vivacious children. She resides in Maryland with her husband and young sons.


Praefatio-Cover
Seventeen-year-old Grace Ann Miller is no ordinary runaway...
After having been missing for weeks, Grace is found on the estate of international rock star Gavin Vault, half-dressed and yelling for help. Over the course of twenty-four hours Grace holds an entire police force captive with incredulous tales of angels, demons, and war; intent on saving Gavin from lockup and her family from worry over her safety.
Authorities believe that Grace is ill, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the victim of assault and a severely fractured mind. Undeterred, Grace reveals the secret existence of dark angels on earth, an ancient prophecy and a wretched curse steeped in Biblical myth. Grace’s claims set into motion an ages-old war, resulting in blood, death and the loss of everything that matters. But are these the delusions of an immensely sick girl, or could Grace’s story actually be true?
Praefatio is Grace’s account of weeks on the run, falling in love and losing everything but her faith. When it’s sister against brother, light versus darkness, corrupt police officers, eager doctors and accusing journalists, against one girl with nothing but her word as proof: who do you believe?

WHAT READER’S ARE SAYING:
“With Praefatio, Georgia McBride proves that you can take any genre to a higher level. This is teen fantasy at its most entertaining, most heartbreaking, most compelling. Highly recommended.”Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author.

“This story kicks ass. No joke, all nepotism aside, I'm an angel convert after having read Praefatio. This proves my theory, by the way, that if a story is written well it can reach across the aisle and grab even the most cynical or perhaps reluctant reader.”
Caroline – Author

“An intense, but powerful young adult fantasy that you utterly become immersed in from the moment you start reading it.”
– Grace – Books of Love

Georgia's Top Angel/Demon Stories

I absolutely loved the THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series by Cassie Clare and of course, DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE. I’ve read FALLEN, but did not finish the series for lack of time. All were really good, but each one was wonderfully different – despite being based on the same or similar stories. Shout out to Cynthia Hand who’s UNEARTHLY was the first really “funny” book added to my angels/demons list. My all-time hands-down favorite however is ANGELOLOGY by Danielle Trusonni. If you’ve not read it, this book is at the TOP of my list of angels/demons type books. Oh and please indulge me a shout out Lisa M. Basso who writes the ANGEL SIGHT SERIES for Month9Books. LOVE.

On to movies – I enjoyed MICHAEL, FALLEN, ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD, DOGMA, LEGION, but my ABSOLUTE BEST AND MOST FAVE is City of Angels starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage! *dies* Wait, it might be a tie between that and CONSTANTINE and DEVIL’s ADVOCATE. Notice Keanu Reeves is in 2 out of 3 of my fave angel movies.

Thanks for having me on your blog! I appreciate you!

Thanks for stopping by!
