Blurb-
She'd reconciled her life without him. His return would be
Bittersweet.
Welcome to Mother Cora’s, where the offspring of the Kaveesh
learn to coexist with humans.
One hundred and twenty years ago, the Kaveesh came to Earth
to save the dying planet from a disease that gorged itself on anything in its
wake. Buildings crumbled to dust. Soil and plant life were consumed. Two-thirds
of the Earth’s population perished.
The only thing the Kaveesh asked in return was to help save
their dying race. Breeding programs began and the half-breeds were born.
Lirabel is a half-breed and an overachiever. Despite a few
setbacks, she’s scheduled to graduate early from Mother Cora’s and become the
Half-breed Ambassador to the Humans.
Enter Jonas. They were best friends until he broke her heart
and disappeared five years ago. Now, he’s back, but Lirabel couldn’t care less.
There are more important things to worry about…
Like finishing her last year of school and becoming
ambassador. Or the half-bred students losing control of their Kaveesh strengths
who are being sent into quarantine. Or how the breeding programs are still up
and running.
And somehow, Jonas’ bittersweet return is connected to it
all.

An Interview with Tyffani Clark Kemp
If
you could describe yourself in only 5 words, what words would you use?
Ambitious, organized, silly, quiet, teachable.
Tell
us about Bittersweet-how was it different telling a YA story?
Well, I am an adult, so when I write for adults I think “How
would I, if I were this character, solve or react to this problem?” Writing YA
I had to think, “How would I, as a teenager, solve or react to this problem?”
For teenagers, there are so many hormones and feelings running through them
that their responses are so different from an adult’s. Trying to remember what
that was like wasn’t the easiest.
Who
is your favorite character from Bittersweet? Why?
I think Shock is probably my favorite character, followed
closely by Solamine. I think they are my favorites because I know what’s in
their background and I know what’s in their future and they kind of need the
love. *insert evil laugh here*
Where
did you get the idea for Bittersweet?
I wrote a short story for my fiance a long time ago. In it,
Lirabel was first born. I’ve had the idea in my head for a long time. What
would life be like for these hybrid humans? How would they be different from
humans or even their own alien race? At that time, I wasn’t sure if they were
aliens or people created in a lab. It was just something that I’ve kept coming
back to for a long time and finally decided to focus on.
What’s
coming next for you?
I have a time travel story coming in 2017 called The Canyon
Edict. I’m also working on a dark romance right now and of course the second
book in The Kaveesh series, Sanguine, is on the roster for this next year.
About
the Author-
Tyffani Clark Kemp might be the quietest person in the room,
but that just means she’s probably the biggest freak too. She is a multi-genre
author with a gift for the written word and a desire to help all Indies reach
their full potential. In 2012, she and her best friend Kimberly Fudge started
SideStreet Cookie Publishing for authors who want to remain independent, but
don’t have the time or the knowledge to do it all themselves. From the age of
eleven she dedicated her life to writing and making sure she was good at her
craft. Now, she passes that knowledge on to others. Her friends would describe
her as determined and giving. She may be quiet, but she always has a story to
tell.
