{Guest Post} Why I Must Lie by M. M. Lake

Ten things you didn't know about Why I Must Lie and M. M. Lake

 

The supernatural characters in the Why I Must Lie series are more like superheros than anything dark or scary.

The main character may seem like somewhat of a normal teen, but she belongs to a unique and divine species.

The love interest in the Why I Must Lie series is not a "bad boy".  Who said only bad boys could be alluring?

 The sequel to Why I Must Lie picks up exactly where the first book left off.

 M. M. Lake laughs and cries when she writes, completely engrossed in the story-creating process.  Is that normal?  :)

The series has reached an audience from 12-70 years-old, as it's been included in a middle school English project as well as a seniors' book club.

Readers won't be embarrassed to share the series, or their interest in the series, with their moms, nieces, or co-workers.  Think PG.

 M. M. Lake has had many flying dreams, and two in which she met characters in her book.  Weird?

The pictures in the pupil of the eyes on the front covers symbolize characters in the book.

M. M. Lake has a third book in mind but has only jotted down ideas...so far.

Summary: 

M. M. Lake delivers the awaited sequel to Why I Must Lie.
Too anxious to wait another second, I went off on a rant. "Tell me what's wrong with me! Why can't guys kiss me? I'm not hormone-crazed. I just need to know!" I buried my head in my hands and wept. "Please tell me," I muttered through sobs.
"Mia," Sera said softly, "there is nothing wrong with you."
"Right!" I shot back, startling her. "First with Gabe this afternoon." Sera jerked her head toward her brother. "Then twice with Ken tonight." I brushed the tears from my face.
Eva's petite mouth curled slightly. "You've been busy today."
