Wicked Fate by Tabatha Vargo

 
My Guest ~ Tabatha Vargo

Hey y’all! Thanks for having me! Thank you, Julia, for letting me invade your blog and put Tabby prints on everything. Touch, touch, touch! I’ve done quite a few blog interviews since I jumped on the author train, but this is the first time I’m allowed free reign to say whatever I want. I just want to apologize ahead of time if this post seems like a bipolar, crazy mess. Those three words sum me up and I want to give you guys the full experience. That being said…buckle up and hold on!

So, after staring at the little blinky thing on my document for forever, I decided I’d just write and hope for the best. I’ve been writing since I was eleven years old. My parents divorced when I was thirteen and my childhood was ripped away. I had to jump into an adult role sooner than most kids. During that period in my life, writing saved me from doing a lot of crazy things. I’d get depressed or upset and I’d leave my world and jump into another. Had it not been for my sacred, imaginary worlds, I probably wouldn’t be here today writing this post full of madness.

Wicked Fate was my first published book and it started out as one of those escape worlds when I was fourteen. I finally sat down in 2009 at the age of twenty-seven and started seriously turning my ideas into a book. I wrote it in less than six months and it was so much fun that I decided to keep it going. That’s how the Wicked Trilogy was born. The second book, Wicked Hope, will be released in the spring.

I get asked all the time where the ideas behind Wicked Fate came from. Well, I’m going to answer that. Once I’m done, you’re all going to think I’m nuts, but I’m okay with that because crazies are cool! So, here we go! *Whispers* I see dead people! Yes, I just said that. And no, it’s nothing like movies make it out to be. First of all, I don’t see ghosts just walking around all day every day. Secondly, it never happens on command. It’s always when I’m not paying attention or just going through my day without thinking about it. For me, it’s not something I’m ever going to be okay with. Every time it happens it freaks me out. The first time it happened, I was seven and still today, years later, it shocks me. My husband thinks I’m insane and overly dramatic, but I’ve always been extra sensitive with spiritual stuff...not just ghosts, but also people’s emotions, too. I’m an empath! Woo hoo! *balloon drop and confetti everywhere*

All jokes aside, it used to scare the crap out of me. I hated staying home by myself and I had problems sleeping because of it. It was awful. As I got older, I learned to deal with it and block it out, but it still sends on an occasional anxiety attack. All creepy ghost stuff aside, more than anything I’m very sensitive to emotions around me. I can tell by being around someone if that person is a good for me or bad for me. If someone around me is sad or upset…I feel it. It’s like people’s emotions spill onto me and in a lot of ways, if I don’t block it out, those feelings are reflected in my moods. That means I’m very careful with the company I keep. I can’t count how many times someone else’s emotions have become my own and ruined my day.

See? I told you I was nuts! So anyway, take all the things I just talked about above and mix those things with the wild imagination of a teenage writer and you get Wicked Fate! I can’t believe I just said all that, but there it is! I’m truly WICKED! I love saying that!

I hope y’all enjoyed this crazy post as I much I as I enjoyed writing it. Be on the lookout for more from me! My first new adult novel, On the Plus Side, is coming out next month and I’ll be spinning out seven books in the next two years, including some fresh paranormal creatures that I think you guys will love. It’s all very exciting stuff!

Again, thanks for having me!

Stay wicked!

Okay where's something for me to wipe all these Tabby prints off my computer screen!  Okay that's better, now I can see to thank you for printing up my screen!  hehe

Wow, Tab there is just so much I can say to your canny ability to see things, because I see things too!  As a little girl I used to talk to them quite often, it took my mother a bit to figure out what the deal was but once she did she felt it was okay, long as I was not getting hurt.  It took her a while to get me to openly talk about what I was seeing and who I was talking to but then once I got to talking she just let me talk, mainly to make sure it was nothing bad...

Oh Snap!  This is your day, and your guest post!  If I don't shut it I'll ramble enough to take up another 6-7 inches of the post!  Thanks Tab for coming today and for your awesome giveaway!  Yes guys don't miss the giveaway at the bottom of this post!  Of course you might wanna read the Blurb and Review too!  hahaha  Love ya Tab!  Laters!

Wicked Fate Blurb & Review 
(The Wicked Trilogy)

Blurb

What if you lived in fear of yourself?

For Mage McPherson being afraid of herself is just the norm. Thanks to that fear, being a loner in a small town never bothered the mysterious Mage. Once she received her secret abilities, she figured being alone was the safest way to be. That all changes during her sophomore year at Summerville High when Adam, her equally mysterious secret crush, starts to notice her.

Afraid that she might harm Adam, Mage must learn to either control or deny herself. With Adam by her side she's more powerful than she?s ever been, but is she powerful enough to defeat her worst nightmare? She learns a hard lesson about love and magic when her destiny comes to collect.

My Review

Wicked Fate is what it is and that is awesome! Mage learns to love, discover, fight, and considers making friends. Starting out as a loner and self contained, she is finally forced to branch out and become somewhat social. Though she's never to far away from those that she that care for her, she discovers that Bernie is what she needs in her life.

She's never really known her mother and father, so knowing who and where she came from makes life a bit troubling for Mage. She wants answers, she wants to know where she came from and what's happening to her. There are only a few people that know and those few people are gone.

The question is what will Mage go through to find the answers she's searching for, to figure out what is happening to her, to survive a battle unknown. What distance will she go through to save the man she loves, and will being together help or hinder the dangers up ahead.

Find out by taking a journey with Mage as all the above is laid out in an beautiful compelling story, captivating and alluring. There is no going back once you start the endearing journey with Mage McPherson as her story unfolds and the truths are known.

The writer did very well with the written aspect of the book, there were a couple errors that caught my attention though all in all nothing that took away from the story. A must read for everyone.
