The boy she now knew never loved her. The friends who felt she betrayed their trust. The new life just beginning to grow inside her.Brynn believes her future is as empty as her body until Christian, the boy next door, starts coming around. Playing his guitar and pushing her to create art once more. She meets some new friends at the local community center, plus even gets her dad to look her in the eye again…sort of. But letting someone in isn’t as easy as it seems.Now…Can Brynn open up her heart to truly find her life’s own beauty, when living for the after means letting go of the before?

About Writing YA Romance
I’ve always
been a romantic at heart. I like that “butterflies in the stomach” feeling of a
new crush. I love the secretive glances, the brush of fingers, first kisses,
and the possibilities of where it all may go. It’s like an adventure, where you
never really know what’s going to happen. Will it go somewhere? Will it end?
I always
knew that’s what I wanted to write about but that’s not the only reason I
wanted to write romance. You know what I believe? That love can change the
world. I know that seems like “head in the clouds” thinking but it’s true. Love
can change us and we as people have the power to change the world. It can make
us feel like we can do anything, it makes is willing to make changes. We learn
from getting our hearts broken, breaking hearts, and falling in love. Those
experiences mold who we are and what we do.
It’s pretty
incredible when you think about it. When I’m writing romance, anything is
possible. It’s writing about dreams but yeah, it’s about real life too. It’s
about people and growth and the lessons we learn that we’ll take with us for
the rest of our lives.
That’s why
I wanted to write about romance. It’s universal.
What’s your
favorite thing about reading young adult romance?
About the Author
Writing has always been Nyrae Dawn’s passion. There have
been times in her life where she wasn’t able to chase that dream the way she
desired, but she always found her way back to telling stories.
One of her loves has always been writing about teens.
There’s something so fresh and fun about the age that she loves exploring. Her
husband says it’s because she doesn’t want to grow up. She doesn’t think that’s
such a bad thing and luckily for her, he doesn’t either.
Nyrae gravitates toward character-driven stories. She loves
going on emotional journeys with characters whether it be reading or writing.
And yes, she’s a total romantic at heart and proud.
Nyrae resides in sunny Southern California with her husband
(who still makes her swoon) and her two awesome kids.
When she’s not with her family, you can be pretty sure
you’ll find her with a book in her hand or her laptop and an open document in
front of her.
She writes for Entangled Publishing, Grand Central
Publishing and is self-published.
Nyrae is represented by Jane Dystel of Dystel and Goderich
Literary Management.
Nyrae Dawn also writes adult romance under the name Kelley
Vitollo.
