Welcome to Day 3 of the UNTIL THE BEGINNING blogfest, celebrating the release of UNTIL THE BEGINNING on May 5! Check down at the bottom of the page for a book giveaway!
For Book 1, I was asked by Romance Times Book Reviews to dress my characters using Pinterest.
Juneau starts AFTER THE END living in the wilderness of Alaska, post World War III (or so she thinks!). Here are the clothes I found for her:
For those of you who have read the book, you will know that she quickly has to adapt to a pseudo post-Apocalyptic existence to the real world of here and now. She also has to disguise herself as a boy to escape her would-be captors. Here are the clothes I found for that close shave, as well as for the rest of Book 2, UNTIL THE BEGINNING.
And for Miles, who plays his rich-kid ways down with a casual look (that leaves him completely unprepared for the off-roading that Juneau drags him into, I chose this wardrobe:
Whether or not you end up obsessing over what the characters will wear, you can read their stories here:
AFTER THE END: purchase on Amazon, B&N, Book Depository, Indiebound
UNTIL THE BEGINNING: preorder for May 5 on Amazon, B&N, Book Depository, Indiebound.
And to win a copy of one of the two books, leave me a comment below telling me what one item of clothing YOU would consider essential while living in the Alaskan wilderness! This one will run for 2 days. And…go!

Id say a warm coat, but thick warm socks and waterproof boots are just as important… I can’t wait for book two!

I would definitely say a long coat that’s insulated to protect you from the cold. It also should have a high collar and a hood so you can zip it up and protect your face as well. I loved the first book I can’t wait for Until The Beginning to come out!

Tamsan al-said has won this contest with the response of “thermals”. But I must say, all of your answers were spot-on. You would officially survive in the Alaskan wilderness. 😉
Tamsan – send me your address. And everyone else…more to come!
