In a gentle way, you can shake the world. ~Mahatma Gandhi 🏆 Winner of HarperCollinsIndia #BeingGandhi writing contest.

This is a responsive poem about what HarperCollins did to Inkpop when they shut it down.

Twins Eli and Talia shouldn't exist. They're Outsiders. Their home is a secret. Their lives are a secret. Arafel is a secret. An unexpected forest raid forces Talia into a desperate mission to rescue her family while protecting the sacred Book of Arafel from those who would use it as a weapon. As Talia and her life long friend Max enter the dome, she makes some unexpected discoveries, and allies, in the form of rugged Insider August, that will change the course of her life forever. She'll stop at nothing to save her family but will she sacrifice her heart in the process? The Fire Sermon meets Gladiator in this brilliant YA debut. Praise for Book of Fire 'The world building was done with great detail, I was able to picture what I was reading and that made the experience that much greater.' Esha Packer 'I was blown away by the intricate details throughout this book of the 2 different worlds, the characters, the mythical beasts, the character development and their relationships with one another.' Zoe Mann 'Michelle has woven elements into the story beautifully, she has brought history and the future together in one book.' Gemma McGee

Official entry for#being gandhi contest Judging is what everyone does as It is a human tendency to judge others when we don't want to accept our flaws. Only a man of principles like Mahatma Gandhi can ignore it. And when I achieved it i.e I ignored the persuasion to judge someone I achieved my #being gandhi moment

Sebastian Grey always thought he was a fairly normal teenager -- good friends, decent grades, and a pretty sweet job in his foster brother's tattoo shop. But when Romany gypsies arrive in town, Sebastian discovers that his world is not what it seems. There is an age-old feud between his family and the gypsies -- and this isn't the only secret his brother has been keeping from him. His life is not his own. The girl he's been dreaming about has just turned up as school, and he feels compelled to protect her at all costs. Even if that means life might never be normal again * * * * (Please enjoy the opening chapter of Grey, the first book in my debut YA fantasy trilogy, published by HarperCollins as an e-book and paperback series, available at most online bookstores and Amazon)

I didn't make any of these quotes but if I did I will say it in the chapters or pages :/

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion story to ICE LIKE FIRE, the sequel to SNOW LIKE ASHES. I say "companion" as it parallels the beginning events of ICE LIKE FIRE -- and as such, you will find a few minor spoilers for ICE LIKE FIRE. If you are the sort of reader who screeches in horror at the thought of a spoiler of any kind, LOOK AWAY NOW. But if you are the sort of reader who flips through the pages of a book, perusing lines here and there before you've quite finished it yet...well, read on, dear rebel reader. Read on. *** SUMMARY: "She was part of Summer, and Summer was part of her, and this land wouldn't abandon her too." Ceridwen Preben, princess of Summer, has spent her life plotting against her brother, Simon, the Summerian king. Simon has embraced the ruling family's reputation for using their conduit to keep their subjects in a state of bliss, and has spent his reign slowly driving Summer into ruin, filling everyone with carelessness and letting them turn a blind eye to Summer's rampant -- and deadly -- slave trade. But Ceridwen refuses to let her kingdom disintegrate, and with the help of her fellow rebel-in-arms, Lekan, she hopes to undo Simon's lethal dealings. But when Ceridwen uncovers Simon's deadliest plot yet, she starts to realize just how deep magic runs -- and that even though her kingdom is one of sunlight, with light, there always comes shadows. *** The first part of this story will appear on Tuesday, September 8. Parts will continue to be uploaded every Tues/Thurs through October 8. Look for ICE LIKE FIRE, out October 13 from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins!

Newly divorced Gaby Duran isn't really expecting to find her soul mate on a dating site like InTune. She just needs a distraction from pining over her ex-husband, Ben, and the happy marriage they once had. And she's wise enough to know that online, the truth doesn't always match the profile. Almost everyone lies a little—or a lot.
