Character
blog – Em
Another summer gone. Wish I had some exciting
news to report, an interesting vacation story, a whirlwind summer romance with
a handsome stranger… hell, even a decent new horror movie would’ve been
something. We were supposed to drive down to the beach last month, but my mom
got called back in to work. Again.
As pathetic as it sounds, I spent most of my
summer break vegging on the couch with my best friend Roz. If it weren’t for
her, I wouldn’t have survived freshman year. She says this year will be better.
Hard to imagine, but it can’t be worse than last year, right?
Sometimes I wish I could start over in a brand
new town, somewhere they’ve never heard of me. Or my hands. And without Lauren
would be nice, too. I see those shows on TV with big sisters that are so loving
and supporting and I can’t help but laugh. Don’t know why I’m even blogging, I
mean, no one’s going to read it. Except maybe Roz.
Oh that reminds me, will you please change your
voicemail message? It’s downright painful to leave you a message lately.

Blurb:
High school is hard enough, Em knows. Her freshman year introduced her
to all the cliques, annoying teachers, and tough homework assignments. But
discovering you have super powers and not knowing how to control them is a
whole new level of complicated.
Thankfully, Em isn’t alone. Her best friend Roz starts having unusual
dreams that come true, and Tommy, Em’s secret crush, can hear the softest
whispers in class.
A romance blossoms with Tommy. But just as things are looking up,
people start dropping like flies. A telepathic serial killer is on the loose
and only Em and her friends have a hope of stopping him.
Or do they? If they don’t figure out the killer’s identity soon, one
of them could be next.

Bio
Kat Stiles is a super hero geek at heart. She grew
up watching Spiderman, X-men and Superfriends cartoons, and she loved the idea
of having super powers. The superhero movies that came out delighted her; even the bad ones were still so much
fun. And she remembers wishing the series, “Heroes” would go on forever.
With Connected, she tried to keep the abilities as organic as
possible – something just a little beyond what a normal human can do. She’s met
some pretty incredible people in her life, and her experiences greatly
influenced the writing of Connected.
