About the Book:
On the run from the Organization, Starr never planned on falling in
love.
Starr Bishop’s the complete
package. A perfect smile, brains to match, and a winning attitude. Boys want to
date her and girls want to be her. She’s the type of girl you want to
hate, if only she wasn’t so damn likable. But don’t worry, she’s not interested
in your boyfriend. Boys are one complication she can live without.
When the Organization decides
she’s not only the model student but the ideal assassin, Starr’ll need a lot
more than high test scores and extracurricular involvement to get herself out
of that commitment.
Dark, moody, and dead sexy
Christian Evergood is the last person she’d expect—or even want— to come to her
rescue. From opposite ends of Webster High’s social hierarchy, their lives collide in one electrifying moment.
Christian isn’t the Goth
loner he pretends to be, he’s
a part Cherokee, All-American boy who wants to be a hero, Starr’s hero. Christian makes Starr forget that
the Organization is after her, but nothing will stop the Organization from
collecting their top recruit.
By the way, the spot for junior
class president just became available.
Starr Fall by Kim Briggs Book Excerpt:
I glance up just
before plowing into a tall, muscular frame. As our bodies collide, time stops
for one brief moment. Strong arms pull me into his black Ramones t-shirt. He
shifts his body under mine, drawing me in closer to his chest. His heart races
against my cheek; it matches the sprint of my own.
In a tight embrace,
we fall as if someone hit slow motion and we drop frame by frame without ever
hitting the bottom. Nothing exists in the entire universe except for our
plunging bodies pressed against each other. When we finally hit the hard tile
floor, he takes most of the impact because I’m cocooned in his arms. Something
tightens just below my belly button—a nervous kind of flip-floppy feeling, and
I finally understand what Sami and Jody always talk about.
“You,” he murmurs. I
gaze into Christian’s black lined eyes with newfound shyness. I never noticed
just how blue his eyes are. A blue so deep and pure and clear I’m tempted to
swim in them for hours, but the catcalls “Get a room” and rowdy laughter remind
me we’re in the middle of the cafeteria with our food deprived classmates, and
we’re fresh bait. A burn creeps into my cheeks.
He pushes himself up
beside me. Whatever emotion was in his eyes a moment ago vanishes as quickly as
it appeared. Two sharp, unforgiving vertical lines form between his eyebrows.
Without even a grunt of acknowledgement, he stalks away. I stare after his
black t-shirt, wondering what just happened and did he feel it too?
“Starr, are you
okay?” someone asks, but I’m lost in my own world. “Starr, are you
okay?” A hand grips my shoulder.
If there was any
electricity coursing through my veins, it’s gone now.
I shake my head to
clear it before turning to Frank. “Yeah..., yeah, I’m fine.”
I think.

About the Author (Errrrr, me;)
Kim once smashed into a tree
while skiing. The accident led to a concussion, a cracked sternum, temporary
notoriety as a sixth grader returned from the dead, and the realization that
fictionalized accounts are way more interesting than just slipping on the ice.
An unhealthy obsession with
conspiracy theories combined with a love of travel and happily ever afters led
Kim to write her YA novel, Starr Fall, where a secret organization decides
Starr Bishop would make the ideal assassin. While in hiding, Starr meets dark, moody,
and dead sexy Christian Evergood. Cue the swoon worthy music. But it’s not all
happily ever afters for Kim, her NA novel, And Then He, explores the
dark and scary corners of the human psyche. Following a night of innocent
flirting with a handsome stranger, Tiffani finds herself in the midst of a
nightmare she can’t escape. And Then He is available now through Amazon
and other major book retailers. Starr Fall debuts November 2016 with
Inkspell Publishing. Starr Lost will
release in January 2017, followed by Starr
Gone in June 2017.
When she’s not doing something
writerly, Kim can be found jumping into snow drifts with her three kids,
husband, and dog. She’s careful to avoid trees.
