Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = Young Adult Fiction; Fast, Action Packed, Hard-edged Drama
about Heavy Metal Loving Bikers. The fun, the fear, and the experiences of Jade, a
new member of the Tyrants. It\'s an emotional novel about choices, mistakes, and
having to grow up fast.
What every teenager wants to read about.


Press Release Body = \"My ultimate goal is to see my book in libraries, especially
school libraries. In Times Of Violence contains all the contemporary elements for a
very exciting read. Although the book is targeted towards Young Adults, many of my
readers are adults and from the feed- back and reviews the book has received, it has
been enjoyed very much.\"

Karina Kantas felt there was a hole missing in the book market. As a teenager she
wanted to read hard-edged novels. A story that contained violence, drugs, as well as
the romance and friendship.
\"I believe that this genre of fiction is still needed today. Teenagers want to read
rebel-type fiction; they want to sympathize with the characters in the book.
Unfortunately a lot of publishers and agents don\'t feel the same way, choosing chick
lit and fantasy genre novels over hard-edged. I know there is a place in the market
for this type of book.\"
\"I couldn\'t put it down. Sometimes you\'re lucky enough to find a book that keeps you
sitting there until it\'s conclusion. This is one of those books. The adventures take
you right into the action. I got lost in it. Young, or old, you\'ll either feel like
you\'re experiencing it now or you\'ll remember your dreams of passion and romance
from years gone by. The author does a great job at relating the emotins of each
moment.
Reviewed by Mel, an American reader.
