Today I'm pleased to have Madalynn Davis, author of Wicked Rose to stop by and say hello to you all.
Over to Madalynn.
Hello there!
A lot of people have been asking me lately where I got my
inspiration to become a writer. Honestly, I have to say that I got my
inspiration from my mom. One of my favorite memories from childhood is
curling up next to my mother in bed while she read me a bedtime story. As
I grew older, my passion for reading continued to develop and I knew that I
eventually wanted to become a writer. I seriously started to pursue
writing in my late twenties and originally envisioned myself writing adult
fiction. However, I soon began reading and writing young adult fiction
when I became a high school science teacher. I’ve been hooked on young
adult fiction ever since.
Even though the road to getting published was a bumpy one,
full of unanticipated twists and turns, I am so excited and proud that I did
it. If I have learned one thing from my journey, it would be that writing
is not for the faint of heart. As soon as you get published, everyone
becomes a critic. Some critics are nice and professional while others are
not. Some people will love your book while others will not. But, as
a friend of mine always says: opinions are like noses because everyone
has one. All that you can do is take pride in what you have done and
always look for opportunities to grow. And, of course, keep writing!
Before I leave, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to
everyone who has read and supported Wicked Rose! You are awesome
Wicked Rose

father's murder, sixteen-year-old Noelle Hart returns to Whisper
Preparatory Academy, an exclusive private boarding school in the sleepy
town of Whisper, Connecticut. She tries to move on with her life, but

overbearing Headmaster, and staying out of her nemesis' line of fire are
almost her undoing.

But, all good things must come to an end.
When one of her friends is brutally murdered, Noelle becomes the prime suspect. Noelle's world is turned upside down when she learns that a secret sisterhood known as the Hive may be responsible for her friend's death and others. If Noelle and Gabriel cannot fight their way through the labyrinth of lies and secrets surrounding the Hive, then she may be next

Author Info
Madalynn Davis is not your ordinary Southern Belle. As
an author, science teacher, and law school graduate, Madalynn wears many
hats. But, even in the midst of it all, she never forgot two of her first
loves: reading and writing. When Madalynn is not teaching or
preparing for the Bar exam (cringe), she can be found sitting in a quiet corner
revising one of her current manuscripts and furiously scribbling down ideas
that will hopefully turn into a new book. Madalynn currently lives in
Texas. Wicked Rose is her first published novel.
