A demigod who can kill with a
touch. It’s an ability that must be kept secret from everyone, even from those
trusted most.
Finding
out that she was a witch was strange enough, but now Nicole must face the
realization that she has the rare power to kill with just a touch. No one can
know her secret—not even Blake, who she’s had undeniable chemistry with since
first moving to town.
Now
Nicole, Blake, and the three others with elemental powers must stop a series of
monsters that they previously believed to be dead from rising once again and
destroying the mortal world. The creatures they face on this journey will be
more dangerous than anything they’ve encountered yet. Will they all survive the
quest? And how long will it be until Nicole is forced to use her ability to
kill in front of everyone, revealing the true darkness of her powers?
Find
out in The Blood of the Hydra, and join the Elementals on their next
journey in their quest to save the world—or die trying.

About Michelle Madow:
Michelle
Madow writes fast-paced YA (young adult) fiction that will leave you turning
the pages wanting more!
She
grew up in Baltimore, and now lives in Boca Raton, Florida, where she writes
books for young adults. Some of her favorite things are: reading, pizza,
traveling, shopping, time travel, Broadway musicals, and spending time with
friends and family. Michelle went on a cross-country road trip from Florida to
California and back to promote her books and to encourage high school students
to embrace reading and writing. Someday, she hopes to travel the world for a
year on a cruise ship.
1) When did you first realize you wanted to be a
writer?
I’ve been a writer
forever, but I realized it was something I wanted to do professionally when I
was a junior in college. I was taking an Intro to Creative Writing class, and
when I turned in my first assignment (the first chapter of Remembrance), my
classmates and teacher loved it and wanted to read more. I’d never thought I
could complete a novel, but I realized I would never know if I didn’t try. So I
tried, and completed the first draft by the end of the school year.
2) How long does it take you to write a book?
I’m getting faster with
each book I write! I wrote my first book, Remembrance, when I was a junior in
college, and it took me about eight months to write it. It took me about four
months to write The Secret Diamond Sisters. More recently, it took me two and a
half months to write Elementals 2: The Blood of the Hydra, and a month and a
half to write Elementals 3: The Head of Medusa. My goal is to draft Elementals
4 in one month (but of course, whether or not I’ll be able to do that will
depend on what other obligations I have during that month, such as author
events!)
3) What is your work schedule like when you're
writing?
I wake up around 9:30/10:00am
and play around on my phone/computer until my brain wakes up. I’ve never been
able to pop out of bed and magically be awake—waking up is a process. Once I’m
out of bed, I’ll eat lunch. (I eat lunch as my first meal because I don't like
breakfast food.) Then at 11:30am/12:00pm I’ll go through my email, Facebook,
Twitter, and such. I’ll write from 1pm – 5pm. Then I’ll grab a snack. Then I’ll
work on business/marketing stuff until 8pm or 9pm, and then I’ll have dinner.
After dinner I’ll sometimes work more if there’s more to be done, or I’ll relax
by reading until I’m ready to go to bed.
I allow myself one day
off per week, so I normally work Sunday-Friday or Monday-Saturday. But there
are many weeks where I don’t even take that one day off. (Although I do make up
for it later with vacations.)
I’m a night owl, so my
work days are definitely skewed to the later end. The only negative about that
is that I’m never able to join my friends for Happy Hour :P
4) Where did you write your first book and how
old were you?
I wrote my first book in
college—in my dorm room, on my bed. I was 21/22.
5) How many books have you written? Which is
your favorite?
I’ve written nine books
so far—three in the Elementals series, three in The Secret Diamond Sisters
Trilogy, two in the Transcend Time Saga, and one YA standalone thriller that I
haven’t published yet. My favorite is either Elementals 2: The Blood of the
Hydra, or the YA standalone thriller that isn’t out yet!
