Book Description:
They
weren’t supposed to have feelings.
Metal
will Clash
In a not-too-distance future,
robots composed of metal for bones, electric cords for veins, and synthetics
for skin are now available. For purchase. Eighteen-year-old Vienna Avery’s home
is going to change forever, now that her mom purchased an Italian Chef Robot to
cook and reside in their house.
Secrets
will Unfold
The government claimed robots
were indifferent, unthinking pieces of metal and elastic—assistance for the
help of humans. Vienna never believed much of what the government said. The
pieces didn’t always fit. And now Vienna knows why, because she’s uncovered the
government’s secret: that robots have emotions, sucking Vienna into the
underground world of feeling, thinking, and sovereign robots.
Sparks
will Fly
Alec Cypher is everything a robot
is not supposed to be: deep, dark, and dangerously human. And for some reason,
he wants to save Vienna from the government’s prying, vindictive eyes. Going
forward, Vienna will have to learn to trust robots and battle the growing
feelings she never thought possible . . . feelings for the green-eyed,
soul-searching robot named Alec.

Excerpt:
I never locked
eyes with a robot before.
Never.
Not once.
I guess I
thought it would feel different. But it doesn’t. Nothing is different. It feels
the same, the same as looking into a human’s eyes.
About
the Author:
Sheena Snow, contrary to her
name, lives in South Florida and has only seen snow once. But she would love for
it to land on her eyelashes and sparkle in her hair. She loves painting, candle
making, orchid shows, tattoo conventions, hockey games and library book sales!
After college she landed a full time job but kept serving pizza on the weekends
and writing stories about characters she wished really existed, characters who
never gave up no matter the obstacles life threw at them. At the age of
twenty-six, she sold her first book and bought her very first puppy, a
wonderful Yorkie named Aladdin.
Interview
Tell us your latest news? My book officially
releases on the 16th!! SPARKED (The Metal Bones Series Book 1)
When and why did you begin writing? 7 years ago. I
wanted to be able to control at least one thing in my life. I wanted to be able
to do something for fun for me.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? I had
always considered myself an aspiring writer but now that I officially have a
book out—I’m feel like I’m officially a writer.
What inspired you to write your first book? A dream
I had.
Do you have a specific writing style? Yes. I have a
full on young adult voice, the angst, the repetition, following the idea of
finding out who you want to be.
How did you come up with the title? My writing
friend, Kristin Wallace. The girl is brilliant when it comes to titles, query
letters, blurbs, you name it.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp? You get to chose who you want to be in life. You. No one
else.
How much of the book is realistic? 20% Certain
characters traits can drawn back to me and to people in my family.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life? The conflicting voices in the main character’s head are
something I dealt with and overcame last year. The lack of communication in the
family is also something that is similar to my family and something I’m working
on correcting.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Enclave, Poison Princess, the Demon Trapper’s
Daughter, Grave Mercy, and the Summoning. (All YA of course lol)
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor? Susan Collins!! Pretty please!
