Today I'm pleased to welcome author Nicola Marsh to the blog to talk a little bit about the first book in her new Solar Snatchers series, Scion of the Sun. In this first installment, protagonist Holly spends time at a boarding school for gifted students called C.U.L.T, so I thought a fun way to get to know her would be by putting ourselves in her shoes and taking a closer look at what she gets up to during a typical day at school. You can find the full list of participating blogs on the tour here, and don't forget to check out the bottom of the post for details on a tour-wide giveaway!
