Synopsis:
Nobody who enters Ravenwood school will ever be the same again.
Fifteen year old Brooke has been in care all her life. Now she finally has an adoptive family who don’t want to send her back to The Home; but their solution for her problems is much more dangerous.
A secret boarding school for possessed children. A boarding school where any unnatural behaviour will be stamped out. A boarding school with no escape; where witchcraft is punished and vampires are murdered in the sunlight.
Brooke is the only one with the power to escape the security wards, yet she must find a way to help them all before it is too late.
Flying With Fire
Teaser 2
The students were
occupying almost all the bean-bags, and all but one sofa. Within moments of Brooke
entering the room, a hush fell and all eyes turned towards her, making her
immediately regret the decision a couple of weeks earlier to dye her hair pink.
‘Girls, guys and
freaks, this is Brooke Shore, another little arsonist freak for your gang!’ she
smirked, glancing toward a small group of three as she laughed. The sound was
totally unpleasant and instantly confirmed all Brooke’s misgivings about the
girl at her side. How did she know about
the fire?
‘Actually, it’s
Brooke Gardner.’
‘Oh, I’m sorry
Brooke. I was sure I heard Mrs Willing calling your father Mr Shore?’ Erica
replied smoothly.
‘He’s not my real
father; I’m adopted. I didn’t take their name,’ Brooke replied, meeting Erica’s
cool blue eyes and desperately blinking back any threat of tears that would
give this girl her victory. After all someone would have found out at some
point; they always did.
‘Oh, how interesting.
They must care about you very much to send you here then, instead of just
giving you back…again!’
‘Or not… as the case
may be!’ The voice came from a boy sitting with two other students, a girl and
another boy, just to her left. It was the very group Erica had nodded at when
she’d mentioned arsonists. The boy sat on a bean bag in front of a game
console, his legs stretched out in front of him, straight black hair falling
into wide-set brown eyes. His lips were a deep blush colour most girls would
kill for and were set in a scathing smirk. Across his bicep Brooke could see a
black, snake-like tattoo crawling along the edge of his black t-shirt. He met
her gaze steadily and then winked.

Author Bio:
Emma Mills is a stay-at-home mum,
who after a recent move 200 miles south now lives in the beautiful county
of Somerset, in the UK. She shares her home with her husband, two children, a
dog, 3 cats, a house rabbit and a tankful of fish.
Emma grew up and later went to
university to study English in the city of Manchester and for the first decade
of her adult life lived in a small town on the edge of the Peak District. It
was here, looking after her babies and compulsively reading YA fiction that the
ideas for her debut novel, WitchBlood began to take root.
A UK literary agent was secured, however
it soon became apparent that she had missed the paranormal popularity boat
by about six months, as all the publishers lists were full. With the characters
not taking 'no' for an answer Emma decided to join the huge ranks of indie
authors out there and go it alone. WitchBlood was published in 2012, swiftly
followed by WitchCraft and WitchLove. Emma finished the series and published
the finale WitchHunt a week after moving her family south to Somerset, in
November 2013. A tie-in novel ‘Flying With Fire is scheduled for summer 2014.
Emma is now working on a new and
exciting YA project. A three book series unlike her last, where all the
characters are human, there are no vampires, no spell casting and no
demons rising. A series that will rip your emotions to shreds and leave you
breathless.
