===========


About The Book

Pagan Jones is back! 
Celebrating her escape from East Germany and the success of her new film, teen starlet Pagan Jones returns to Hollywood to reclaim her place among the rich and the famous. She's thrilled to be back, but memories of her time in Berlin—and elusively handsome secret agent Devin Black—continue to haunt her daydreams. The whirlwind of parties and celebrities just isn't enough to distract Pagan from the excitement of being a spy or dampen her curiosity about her late mother's mysterious past.

When Devin reappears with an opportunity for Pagan to get back into the spy game, she is eager to embrace the role once again—all she has to do is identify a potential Nazi war criminal. A man who has ties to her mother. Taking the mission means that she'll have to star in a cheesy film and dance the tango with an incredibly awful costar, but Pagan knows all the real action will happen off-set, in the streets of Buenos Aires.

But as Pagan learns more about the man they're investigating, she realizes that the stakes are much higher than they could have ever imagined, and that some secrets are best left undiscovered.

{Release Blitz + Giveaway} The Notorious Pagan Jones - By Nina Berry


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




THE NORTORIOUS PAGAN JONES
Author: Nina Berry
Publisher:  Harlequin Teen
Genre: Young Adult/Historical Fiction


SYNOPSIS:
Pagan Jones went from America's sweetheart to fallen angel in one fateful night in 1960: the night a car accident killed her whole family. Pagan was behind the wheel and driving drunk. Nine months later, she's stuck in the Lighthouse Reformatory for Wayward Girls and tortured by her guilt—not to mention the sadistic Miss Edwards, who takes special delight in humiliating the once-great Pagan Jones. 

But all of that is about to change. Pagan's old agent shows up with a mysterious studio executive, Devin Black, and an offer. Pagan will be released from juvenile detention if she accepts a juicy role in a comedy directed by award-winning director Bennie Wexler. The shoot starts in West Berlin in just three days. If Pagan's going to do it, she has to decide fast—and she has to agree to a court-appointed "guardian," the handsome yet infuriating Devin, who's too young, too smooth, too sophisticated to be some studio flack. 

The offer's too good to be true, Berlin's in turmoil and Devin Black knows way too much about her—there's definitely something fishy going on. But if anyone can take on a divided city, a scheming guardian and the criticism of a world that once adored her, it's the notorious Pagan Jones. What could go wrong?

PRAISE FOR PAGAN JONES
With a hint of Hollywood glam, mystery, and a time period unique to the YA genre, Berry treats readers to a can’t-miss story. She finds a winner in Pagan, a Marilyn Monroe-like teen actress with a tale that will appeal to younger and older fans alike.” – RT Book Reviews

Well paced historical thriller. Scary in all the right places…” – Kirkus Reviews

Pagan Jones, though, is nobody’s pawn. This is a well-plotted balance of Hollywood glitter and international political conspiracies during the Cold War, and the historical backdrop is meticulously set. Pagan is a smart, charismatic heroine given depth by her struggles with alcoholism.” – Booklist

Berry’s noirish writing blends the blinding spotlight of Hollywood, the sexy world of espionage, and real-life events to create a fast-paced spy thriller” – Publisher’s Weekly

Othersphere!!

~~~~


Dez thought she knew who her mother was, who she was. Thought she had friends, a boy who loved her, and a school where she finally fit in.

But across the veil linking our world and the next lurks a monster which can annihilate. . .or liberate her. Now she must confront it there with help from one boy who loves her and one who can't stand the sight of her.

Dez thought she understood her tiger form, her deepest self. But in this treacherous place, she'll have to choose between the two halves of her soul--and determine which world survives. 

Othersphere is the third and final installment in Nina Berry's acclaimed young adult Otherkin series, which blends romance, fantasy, and action in a powerful story of friendship and self-acceptance.

 Nina has compiled a list of who she see's playing all the wonderful characters in her Otherkin Series!

What better way to celebrate the launch of OTHERSPHERE, the final book in my OTHERKIN series than by casting it with my dream actors?

I’m going big with my main character, Desdemona “Dez” Grey, a shy girl with a back brace who goes on a quest for her real identity when she shape-shifts into a tiger. Shailene Woodley would be perfect as Dez not just for her height and presence, but because she has the depth and talent to convey Dez’s inner conflict and insecurity.  Plus she’d look great as a redhead.




As for the reckless, shadow-walker Caleb, the boy who can conjure objects from another world, dark-eyed Thomas McDonnell would be perfect. Just add a long black coat.



From the start, I pictured charismatic British actor Christopher Lee as the skeletal, mysterious Morfael. He can be both terrifying and otherworldly with one look from those hooded eyes.




Lanky wolf-shifter London is a frightened by the beauty and might of the wolf inside her, and that kind of nuance would come easily to the talented Saoirse Ronan.



Diego Boneta would be fantastic as the trustworthy, far-seeing eagle-shifter, Arnaldo.



Rat-shifter November has a lust for life… and a few other things, tucked inside her petite form. She can be sneaky and funny, and shows all her teeth when she smiles. I’d love to see Isabelle Fuhrman in the part.



Actor/model/photographer Rick Mora looks exactly right as Siku, the centered, insightful bear-shifter with a dry sense of humor.



I can see Dakota Fanning as Amaris, a healer who somehow holds onto an inner sweetness even after her evil father Ximon nearly destroys her.



Lazar goes from warped, evil young man to, well, I don’t want to spoil it, but he’s on quite a journey. Jake Abel’s got the blond good looks, and the ability to seem like the spawn of the devil with hidden depths below…



Dez’s mom Caroline Grey is a pragmatic Wiccan and excellent role model. Dress down the gorgeous Rachel Weisz and she’d be great.



I’m bringing out the big guns for the villain. Give Daniel Day-Lewis pure white hair and he’d be perfect as Ximon, twisted, charismatic leader of the deluded cult that wants to wipe the otherkin off the face of the Earth.



Oh man – now I want to see the movie!
