In Celebration of Susan Kaye Quinn's Closed Hearts-Giveaway, Bonus Content & More!

Idea City is happy to help celebrate the launch of Susan Kaye Quinn's Closed Hearts, the second book in her Mindjack Trilogy!  
She's created a mad cool mobile message called a scrit, and is here with a snippet of it. Think Facebook wall on steroids. Here she is to explain it. Don't forget to pick up a copy of Closed Hearts or enter the contest before you hop off. Oh, and the link to the rest of the party is below too. Enjoy!


Mindjack BONUS CONTENT: Kira on Facebook by Susan Kaye Quinn. In celebration of the release of my novel Closed Hearts, I've created bonus content that relates to the Mindjack Trilogy. This bonus content arises from the story time between Open Minds (Bk#1) and Closed Hearts (Bk#2) - it's not terribly spoiler-ish, but you'll enjoy it more if you've read Open Minds already.] In the future world of my Mindjack Trilogy, mobile messages are called scrits, which is also used as a verb (think "text"). Any  flavor of transmission of electronic information is called "casting" - news programs are called tru-casts (since mindreaders believe they must contain the truth), entertainment programs are sim-casts, and social media are in various forms called chat-casts. Which would include something like a Future Incarnation of Facebook. Kira is the main character in Open Minds and Closed Hearts. Xander is the 13 year old mindjacker changeling that Kira rescued, and Officer Patrick Moore is Kira's father. Kestrel is ... well if you've read Open Minds, you have some idea who he is (hint: he's the bad guy).

  5. Love the wall, the suspense, the terms! I guess I need to add this series to my list, and perhaps take that long-overdue speed-reading course. I do so love to read slowly though...

  8. You'll have to stop by Kira and Raf's Pinterest pages! :) Pinterest can be a giant time suck, but it is also a brilliant way to keep track of websites/images. I love it!
