Pump Up Your Book Presents: XGeneration You Don't Know Me by Brad Magnarella Book Blast and GIVEAWAY
About the Book:
In
the fall of 1984, Cold War tensions between Washington and Moscow are
close to breaking.
But
in sleepy Gainesville, Florida, fourteen-year-old Janis Graystone is
mainly worried about starting high school, earning a spot on the
varsity soccer team, and keeping her older sister from running her
life. And then there are her nighttime experiences. Experiences where
she awakens in her backyard—out of her body—with the disturbing
sense that someone is watching her.
For
Scott Spruel, the start of high school means the chance to start
over. And he’s willing to ditch everything—computer hacking,
Dungeons & Dragons marathons, even his comic book collection
(well, except for his X-Men)—if it means getting closer to Janis,
the secret love of his life. But will Scott’s past be so easy to
shed. And what about the eerie delay on his telephone, a delay he
senses through powers he is only beginning to understand?
Welcome
to the gripping new series, XGeneration:
part The X-Files,
part Freaks and
Geeks, and totally
'80s.
Rated 16+ for language.
Purchase your copy at AMAZON for 99 cents during his book blast!
About the Author:
Brad Magnarella grew up in North Central Florida. As a boy he discovered Marvel Comics, text-based gaming, Bruce Springsteen, and Stephen King, roughly in that order. The prize, however, was a creek that wound through his neighborhood, providing him and his friends a wooded sanctuary in which to lose themselves, while discovering natural Florida.
A graduate of the University of Florida and American University, Brad has long aspired to write the kind of fiction that colored his childhood. His books include The Prisoner and the Sun trilogy and the first in his new young adult series, XGeneration.
Brad lives in Washington, D.C. When he's not writing, he's somewhat hard to find.
His latest book is XGeneration 1: You Don’t Know Me.

Please paste a short excerpt (a page would be terrific!):
“Do
you ever think we’re being watched?” Janis asked.
She
lifted her head from her soccer ball and squinted past her toes,
still slick with sunblock, to where the beach crowd thinned near the
crash and rumble of the ocean. For the first time, she and Margaret
had the beach blanket to themselves, and she knew it wouldn’t last.
Beyond her feet and off to the right, her sister’s three friends
squealed and pranced from the water’s edge, breasts bobbing inside
new bikinis. The bright pastel colors made them hard to miss. They
would probably be running back this way any minute.
“Well,
we are
at the beach,” Margaret said.
Janis
turned onto her elbow. In contrast to her airhead friends, her older
sister lay in quiet repose, brunette hair tucked into a neat bun that
cushioned her head and opened her lithe neck to the sun. Black
Wayfarers hid her eyes. When the breeze stirred, the strings of her
apple-red bikini fluttered against her hip.
“Not
here, I mean,” Janis said. “In the neighborhood. At home. I keep
having this feeling that we’re—”
“Being
watched? Like the song?”
Janis
groaned. She had walked right into that one. “Somebody’s Watching
Me” had played on the boom box a half hour before, the deejay at
I-100 FM using a creepy ghoul’s voice when he recapped the song and
artist. And it was
a creepy song. The video was even creepier. But no, that’s not what
Janis was talking about.
“Not
funny,” she said.
