Grown as Hell and reading Young Adult Fiction?

I am not within the young adult age range, but like many, I occasionally enjoy a good young adult novel. One of my favorites is the Divergent series. Think about it, so-called professional book reviewers are adults and they enjoy the young adult fiction that they review. Whether they have young adult fiction in their personal collection, no one knows.

When I read any book, whether it's young adult or not, I look at it as an art form. Yes, writing is indeed a form of art. And either the book I'm reading is good art or bad art. Great storytelling and interesting characters are part of what makes a novel good art, to me. And if a young adult novel has all the ingredients to make it a good form of art, then so be it. Just like a painting, either you like what you see or you don't.

And we were once all teenagers at some point, so I think we can find a lot to relate to in young adult fiction. So yes, you can be as grown as hell and still love to read a good young adult novel.

My latest novel idea, Dark by Design, accepted by Jukepop Serials!

Jukepop Serials has accepted my story Dark by Design, an Urban Fantasy novel. Check it out: http://www.jukepop.com/home/read/8856

SYNOPSIS:

An exorcism has cursed Max Rafferty with strange powers and an inner bestiality he struggles to tame. But with his new demonic powers, he intends to find the Supernaturals who abducted his friend and love interest, Karen Summers, and make them pay. But it won't be easy.

Max and his partner, a vampire named Nixie, must face hordes of Other-world killers and find out who is behind a recent slew of abductions to find Karen and keep a small neighborhood known as the Devil's Corner from being plunged into hell. But as if that wasn't enough, a sinister being is about to rise to cloak the world in darkness. The Harbinger is coming.

Great quote

"All the traditional models for doing things are collapsing; from music to publishing to film, and it’s a wide open door for people who are creative to do what they need to do without having institutions block their art."

~Ava Duvernay, Filmmaker~

Website, Los Chaos, features a quote from Exodus Conflict

Not the best quote they could have chosen, but it is nice to get some publicity: http://loschaos.com/exodus-conflict-by-michael-j-brooks/

Twitter Harassment

If director Joss Whedon left twitter for the reasons believed, then it's a shame that a tool for free speech like twitter can be used as a tool for harassment.
