BOOK
SUMMARY:
Audrey Valdez didn’t mean
to fall for Will Anders. He isn’t her type. At all. But his goofy smile, Star
Wars quotes and athletic body make it impossible. She's lived so long in the
darkness and Will is like the sun. He makes her laugh more than she has in
years and cares for her more than her own family.
But there are things about
Audrey that Will doesn't know, things he can't know. She tries to push him away,
but he just ends up getting closer to her, and to her secret. Is the risk of
losing him forever worth the chance a being with the only person she's ever
loved who has loved her back?
GUEST POST by Chelsea M. Cameron
(As I sit here in my Doctor Who PJ's, I just have to say that this seriously is one of the best posts I have read in quite a while!! I love this post as much as any book Chelsea has written. Here's to the nerds!! ~Wendy)
The
importance of nerds
In Slowly We Trust, we have a Harry Potter
fangirl with a secret colliding with a Star Wars fanboy with great hair. It’s a
dorky explosion of awesome and I had a great time putting as many references to
both in the book.
Here’s the thing: I’m a nerd. I let my geek
flag fly. I have Hermione’s wand (Harry Potter), a wooden stake (Buffy) a Shiny
sweatshirt (Firefly), Elena’s daylight ring (The Vampire Diaries), a tiny
Edward figurine (Twilight) and more books and movies and other memorabilia that
I can’t even list.
You know what else? Nerds are AWESOME
people. Seriously. AWESOME. They’re some of the most passionate and smart
people you’ll ever meet. And we’re EVERYWHERE. No longer are nerds confined to
their parent’s basements, or to small conventions. The internet has made
connecting with others that are passionate about what you are passionate about
possible. Subcultures have sprouted throughout the web and now people who would
never have a chance to meet in real life can form connections.
The thing that brings all nerds and geeks
and dorks alike together is passion. I’ve discovered that I don’t like people
who aren’t passionate about something. I don’t care what you’re passionate about.
I can be making replicas of the Eiffel Tower out of toothpicks. But if you have
passion for it, I respect that and understand that. But other people who don’t
seem to care about anything? I don’t get you. I will never get you. If we meet
at a party, I will excuse myself to go to the bathroom and then run away to
avoid talking to you.
People without passion are BORING. I don’t
get what they do with their time. If I didn’t have writing and reading and
endless Buffy marathons, I’d have a LOT of time on my hands. Sure, my house
would probably be cleaner, and my taxes would get done before the last minute,
but it would be boring as hell. No, thank you.
This world needs passion. No one
accomplished anything without passion. Some would call it obsession, but I say
that a little obsession never hurt anyone. (Well, maybe there was that one
time, but let’s not talk about that, okay?)
So go ahead, mock my Buffy shirt, or my
lifesize cutout of Ian Somerhalder. I don’t care. I’ll just be over here, being
awesome and you can continue to be dull.
The geek will inherit the earth.
