When I’m actually writing I don’t
listen to music. It has to be really quiet. That way I can hear all the voices
in my head. *winks* But when I’m driving or at my day job I must have music.
Loud music! LOL My playlist for Witch Way
to Turn was created after I finished writing the first draft. However,
Breena’s theme song was in my mind throughout the entire writing process. It
sparked a lot of emotions for the book.

Blurb/Book Description:
Can you give one guy your heart
and another your soul?
The last thing eighteen-year-old
Breena Cross needs in her life is more complications. It’s all she can do to
balance studying, working, trying to keep her foster-sister safe and drooling
over the new guy at work. But things go from complicated to crazy when a fit of
rage ignites the dark magic inside her and she finds herself fending off the
supernatural underworld.
Myles, Breena’s drool-worthy
coworker and vampire convict, is carrying a load of secrets--one of which is
that he’s fang-over-lip in love with Breena and in danger of violating the
terms of his sentence.
Orin is a soul-hungry assassin
sent to kill Breena. However, he takes one look into her eyes and sees his own
lost humanity. For once thinking of someone other than himself, he chooses not
to end her life, even though it means risking his own.
Despite a convict and an assassin
fighting over her, all Breena wants is custody of her sister. But to do this,
she will need help from both Myles and Orin. And if Breena doesn’t learn to
control the darkness within, she could lose her sister…forever.

Author
Bio:
Karen Y. Bynum is an author of young adult
paranormal fantasy. Her novel Witch Way
to Turn is published through Lyrical Press.
She grew up in Hickory, North Carolina where mountains and magic
surrounded her. Even as a child, she
wrote her own faery tales and prattled incessantly to her imaginary friends.
After graduating from UNC Charlotte with a
Bachelor’s degree in Mass Media Communications, she went on to become certified
in culinary arts from The Art Institute of Charlotte. But it wasn’t until her aerospace engineer
husband accepted a job in Virginia and they relocated that she knew what she
wanted to be when she grew up.
With the support of family and friends, Karen
embarked on a journey with the voices in her head. They wouldn’t stop talking (yes, she does
answer back) and their stories took shape.
Karen currently lives in coastal Virginia and enjoys
reading, tweeting, writing and spending time with her husband and their spoiled
rotten Vizsla named Rusty.
