THE WINNER IS...

Rhiann W. has won the DARK PARADISE cover reveal $25 Amazon gift card giveway.
 
YAY! *throws confetti*
 
 
I would like to thank everyone for their support this week. I know I must've driven a few of you crazy with all of my tweets and posts. I promise this is not normal behavior. Typically, I’m more the reclusive (shy) type.
 
Now that my cover reveal is over, I’m heading back into my writing cave. I probably won’t stick my head out very often because I’m on a deadline.

Those who are new to this blog may not know this, but DARK PARADISE is the first of three books in my trilogy. DARK SACRIFICE and DARK REDEMPTION are also being published this summer (all three within a month of each other. *gasp*).

So, I’ll be busy writing and editing for the next few months. I still have some cool cover reveals scheduled for other authors. And, well, I also have my amazing covers for DARK SACRIFICE and DARK REDEMPTION sitting in my computer, begging to be released to the world.

So stay tuned.

ISBN-13: 978-0738740812
PreOrder: Amazon

 
Book Blurb:
 
Lucy Aimes has always been practical. But try as she might, she can’t come up with a logical explanation for the recurring dreams that have always haunted her. Dark dreams. Dreams of a long-ago place filled with people she shouldn’t know…but does.
 
When her family moves to a New Orleans plantation, Lucy’s dreams become more intense, and her search for answers draws her reluctantly into the old city’s world of Voodoo and mysticism. There, Lucy finds Alex, a mysterious boy who behaves as if they’ve known each other forever. Lucy knows Alex is hiding something, and her rational side doesn’t want to be drawn to him. But she is.
 
As she tries to uncover Alex’s secrets, a killer strikes close to home, and Lucy finds herself ensnared in a century-old vendetta. With the lives of everyone she loves in danger, Lucy will have to unravel the mystery of her dreams before it all comes to a deadly finish.



Lisa's Thoughts on her cover:

I’m so excited to show everyone the cover. When my editor at Flux talked about his concept for it, I thought it was perfect for the story. Then I saw it. I love everything about it, the eerie darkness, the romantically swirls on the gates, and the plantation house is exactly right with its deep alley of oaks.
 
Hope you all love it as much as I do!

Yep, I'll be all over this when it launches. And for those of you who feel the same way, well, it's available for pre-order, heh heh (yes, I broke out my creepy laugh).

FRACTURED STEEL COVER REVEAL-T.J. LOVELESS





 
Karen Barnes’s life is simple, just the way she likes it, surrounded by horses and the mountains of Laramie, Wyoming. She is well aware the longing for adventure can lead to blood and death, a hard lesson taught during her one, and only, tour in Iraq almost a decade ago.

A stranger approaches Karen about boarding a famous horse foaled in her stables, making her instincts go on high alert. She knows for a fact the stallion’s owner would never sell Five Alarm, the US Reining champion worth a hefty ten million dollars. In ten minutes the stranger confirms her worst fears, launching her into weeks of torment at the hands of her kidnappers.

Armed with a spine of steel, she steals a truck and trailer, rescuing another victim, and recovering Five Alarm, but the ordeal is far from over. The kidnapping was a cover up for espionage. Trusted contacts join the fray, and in the end, pay for their loyalty by dying for her safety. Others aren’t so trustworthy, and as the truth is brought to light, she is betrayed yet again.
 
Safety and freedom come with their own emotional shackles. She had the courage to fight the battle, but can she live with the aftermath of the carnage, or survive the fractures to her mind?

 

 
 
Excerpt #1:
 
Prologue
 
Stockholm Syndrome. Two words I hated, loathed and wanted erased. But here I sat, the therapist repeating the words over and over, telling me I had to understand their meaning in order to move forward. Stockholm Syndrome, the two words would explain everything, help me on the road to recovery.
          
Memories refused to hide, surfacing and causing physical reactions I wasn’t going to tell the court ordered therapist. She wouldn’t understand, and it sure wasn’t going to help.
I had to pretend, to nod and try to listen. The situation was my fault in many respects, and she could blame Stockholm all she wanted.
 
Fuck them. It had nothing to do with Stockholm, but everything to do with the violent, sadistic, serial killer currently sitting in prison, the new and still bright pink scars dissecting my face and trickling down my back, and a horse worth ten million dollars.


Isn't this cover gorgeous! It really fits the title. I'm so excited for T.J. And to keep the celebration rolling, she's partying hard today. The FRACTURED STEEL COVER REVEAL PARTY on Facebook is open to the public and runs from 1:30-5:30 MST.

DARK PARADISE

Grand Central Publishing/ Forever Yours
Pre-order: AMAZON / BARNES & NOBLE
Add on: GOODREADS


BOOK BLURB:


DARK LEGACY

Mala LaCroix has spent her whole life trying to escape her destiny. As the last in a long line of “witch women,” she rejects the notion of spirits and hoodoo and instead does her best to blend in. But when she finds a dead body floating in the bayou behind her house, Mala taps into powers she never knew she had. She’s haunted by visions of the dead girl, demanding justice and vengeance.

DEADLY SECRETS

Landry Prince has always had a crush on Mala, but when Mala discovers his sister, murdered and marked in some sort of Satanic ritual, he starts to wonder if all the rumors about the LaCroix family are true. Yet after Mala uses her connection to the spirit world to identify his sister’s killer, he starts to form his own bond to her . . . a very physical one. As they move closer to each other and closer to the truth, Mala and Landry must risk everything—their families, their love, and even their lives.

HOW TO OUTRUN A CROCODILE WHEN YOUR SHOES ARE UNTIED COVER REVEAL- JESS KEATING






Book Summary:

What would middle school be like if you lived in a zoo?
 
Ana didn't ask to be named after an anaconda. She didn't ask for zoologist parents who look like safari guides. And she definitely didn't ask for a twin brother whose life goal seems to be terrorizing her with his pet reptiles. Now, to make matters worse, her parents have decided to move the whole family INTO the zoo! All of which gives the Sneerers (the clan of carnivorous female predators in her class) more ammunition to make her life miserable-and squash any hope of class tennis stud, Zack, falling in love with her. Ana tries to channel her inner chameleon and fade into the background, but things are changing too quickly for her to keep up.
 
Author Bio:

As a middle grade author and zoologist, Jess Keating has been sprayed by skunks, bitten by crocodiles, and been a victim to the dreaded paper cut.
 
Her debut How To Outrun A Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied is coming in Summer 2014 from Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, with a sequel to follow.
 
She has a Masters degree in Animal Science and a growing collection of books that are threatening to take over her house. She lives in Ontario, Canada, where she loves hiking, playing ukulele, and writing books for adventurous and funny kids.
