Sales Alert ~ Christy Sloat's Who We Were

I adore sharing my love of books with you.  I rarely rave so much about a book that I demand you read it.  But today I am doing just that.  One of the best books I read last year was Who We Were by Christy Sloat.  Her diehard fans know and love Christy for her paranormal and fantasy books.  Who We Were is a definite departure from that, but I implore you to give it a shot.  You will not be disappointed.  Fans who have followed Christy since The Past Lives series will see Christy’s growth as a writer, get a peek into her life as teenager, and  get to know her daughter whom the character Kyleigh is loosely based on.  Who We Were is so much more than just a YA Romance.  It deals with alcoholism, abuse, friendships, first love, and reinventing or rather rediscovering one’s self.  This story speaks to all ages.

Who We Were
by Christy Sloat

Anchor Group Publishling

Available on Amazon 
$0.99

 “Who we were had washed away with the summer. Who we are was yet to be seen.” 
Summer school at Alcott High was only supposed to gain Sadie Peters extra credit, nothing more. 
Her  goal wasn't  to make friends, or gain the attention of the most popular football player, yet
 she managed both.  Her life was cruising along on course ... until that summer. Could a simple s
tint in a different school change her identity completely and introduce her to love for the 
first time? How would that affect  her relationship with Lily, her best friend? Hopefully their
 friendship was strong enough to make it through the tumultuous summer. Sadie learns
 that great things come with change, but sometimes  memories of the past are hardest to part with.

1.  Where did the story idea come from for WWW?  
I was actually in the middle of writing a completely different story when the idea came to me. I was laying in bed thinking about how when I went to summer school before my senior year, it really changed me. And that was that. My story was born. Sadie’s character came first. And I didn’t even know there would be two male characters until I was in the middle of writing the book. Things can happen like that when you don’t expect it.  

2.  How did you design such a beautiful cover?   

I was lucky enough to meet a photographer who lives in Georgia. I wanted the models to be real teens who weren’t stock models. She did a private shoot just for the cover and within a few weeks, we had the shot. Then, from there the designer made it into the cover you see today.  

 3.  One of the characters in the book is named Kyleigh after your daughter, does the fictional character share any qualities with the real one?  
Yes, she shares a few qualities. Kyleigh in the book has hearing loss and my Kyleigh does as well. I wanted to have a diverse character who wasn’t like every other teen girl. Of course my Kyleigh is only nine so I’m not sure what she’ll be like as a teenager, so I had to use my imagination there. My Kyleigh is gentle and kind and so is book Kyleigh. She’s everyone’s friend and I wanted that to stay true in the book as well.

4.  Contemporary romance is a new genre for you.  Can your fans expect more of this? 

Yes absolutely. I love writing Paranormal and they can expect more of that in the future but writing contemporary romance was so much fun. I will continue to write both.
