Summary from Goodreads:
Reality is only an illusion.
Except for those who can control it…
Worst. Birthday. Ever.
My first boyfriend dumped me – happy birthday, Josie!- my dad is who knows where, I have some weird virus that makes me want to hurl, and now my ex is licking another girl’s tonsils. Oh, and I’m officially the same age as my brother was when he died. Yeah, today is about as fun-filled as the swamps of Dagobah. But then weird things start happening…

Like I make something materialize just by thinking about it.
When hot badass Reid Wentworth shows up on a motorcycle, everything changes. Like, everything. Who I am. My family. What really happened to my brother. Existence. I am Oculi, and I have the ability to change reality with my thoughts. Now Reid, in all his hotness, is charged with guiding and protecting me as I begin learning how to bend reality. And he’s the only thing standing between me and the secret organization that wants me dead…

Random Facts About Tonya Kuper
Thank you so much for having me on
your blog. I’m excited to be here! I thought instead of me answering the usual
author question, readers may enjoy some absolute randomness.
So here is a list of random facts
about me:
- I
taught yoga for over three years. I haven’t practiced, let alone taught,
in years.
- I
once partied with Keith Urban’s band and road crew until four in the
morning. Keith was in his room but his bald guitar player said I had the
sexiest hair he’d ever seen. So that was…coo/interesting/weird.
- My
kids have life threatening food allergies. My oldest son went into
anaphylaxis when he was just over a year old and was gray by the time we
got the ER. It seemed as if people came from the walls, appearing out of
nowhere to save his life. Scariest day of my life.
- I
have a reaction to a stomach medication that makes my brain think I have
Parkinson’s Disease. Yeah, I found that out the hard way. My speech is
slurred, my tongue presses to the roof of my mouth, my bottom jaw slides
to the side. It’s pretty crazy.
- There
was a movie, a biographical drama, in 2000 called The Perfect Storm,
staring George Clooney and Mark Walberg and nominated for two Academy
Awards. I sat next to the friend of the crew members lost at sea that
served as one of the consultants for the film on the sailing/fishing
elements. It was the most interesting plane ride!
- Anyone
watch 24 starring Keifer Sutherland? Well, my friend and I were in NYC in
2011 and ended up at the same bar as him and Jason Patrick (his co-star in
a play and Lost Boys, the vampire movie from the 80’s). And Keifer mooned
us. Like, ten feet from us.
- I’m
obsessed with accents. Southern drawl, East coast, Canadian, English,
Irish, Scottish, whatever. So…cute men + accents = automatic points from
me. It’s probably because I grew in rural Illinois then moved to Omaha,
Nebraska after college, which is the call center of America because we
have such a flat accent, basically no accent. It’s very…generic American.
- My
family, between all four of us, is allergic to almost every mammal on
Earth, therefore we have no hairy pets. We literally can’t be enclosed
with most mammal dander. It’s so bad, we can’t even have the
“hypo-allergenic” dogs. We had fish. They died. And they were boring. My
boys wanted to interact with something – so we got a leopard gecko, a
desert dweller. I had no idea they were so cute and have such
personalities! I post pics and videos of Mo (short for Mo’o, the Hawaiin
word for lizard/gecko) on my Instagram account every once in while.
