THE ONE THING COVER REVEAL and GIVEAWAY- MARCI LYN CURTIS

Happy Groundhog Day!
I have a wonderful new cover reveal from my agency sister, Marci Lyn Curtis. I'm so excited to share THE ONE THING with you all. This book sounds amazing, and I'm excited to read it.

BLURB:

A soaring tale of life and love, of sacrifice and renewal, and learning to see people as they really are.

Maggie Sanders might be blind, but she won't invite anyone to her pity party. Ever since losing her sight six months ago, Maggie's rebellious streak has taken on a life of its own, culminating with an elaborate school prank. Maggie called it genius. The judge called it illegal.

Now Maggie has a probation officer. But she isn't interested in rehabilitation, not when she's still mourning the loss of her professional soccer dreams, and furious at her so-called friends, who lost interest in her as soon as she could no longer lead the team to victory.

When Maggie first meets Ben, she thinks she can add crazy to her list of problems. But the precocious ten-year-old isn't a hallucination. Maggie can actually see him. She immediately befriends the kid, desperate for any chance to see again.

It turns out Ben's older brother is Mason Milton, the ridiculously hot lead singer of Maggie's new favorite band. Music is the first thing that has made Maggie feel alive since losing her sight. But when she learns the real reason she can see Ben, Maggie must find the courage to face a once-unimaginable future...before she loses everything she has grown to love.

DATE WITH A ROCK STAR COVER REVEAL- SARAH GAGNON

I'm so excited to share the cover for my amazing critique partner, Sarah Gagnon. We've been friends and writing buddies for four years now. I can't believe how time has flown by. We've been through rough times and wonderful adventures together.

Happy Cover Reveal Day, Sarah!

Title: Date With a Rockstar

Author: Sarah Gagnon

Release Date: June 2015

Publisher: Spencer Hill Contemporary

 

Synopsis:

 

 

Only one girl will win the cash prize...and a chance at love with Jeremy Bane.

 

Monet isn’t just another lust-struck teenager trying to win the heart of Rock God Jeremy Bane--she needs the prize money from his new reality show to cure her illness. 

Monet has Fluxem, a contagious disease that's spread through saliva. It's completely curable if you have enough money, which she and her single mother don't. Now that she's on the show, Monet has to work harder to keep her Fluxem hidden. She only has to keep the secret long enough to woo Jeremy Bane so he picks her as the winner. She doesn't even care about the love part; the prize alone will change her life.

But the real Jeremy Bane is nothing like she imagined. Monet finds herself fighting against feelings that make her want to give in to her attraction and Jeremy's attempts for a kiss. The further she goes in the competition, the more impossible it becomes to resist him--and when the producers turn the tables and start digging up dirt on the contestants, Monet fears her secret will be revealed before she's ready and ruin everything.

The only way to win Jeremy's heart is to tell him the truth, but confessing her disease could cost her the competition, the prize money, and him.

MORTAL ENCHANTMENT 1 DAY BOOK BLAST W/ $100 GC

“Mortal Enchantment spins a unique twist on elemental mythology. This series is not to be missed.” Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

 

 

 

In Kalin Matthew's world, elementals control the forces of nature. They are divided into four courts: air, woodland, fire, and water. At sixteen she will leave the life she's built with her mortal mother. Kalin will move to Avalon to rule with her father—the elemental king of the air court. Along the way, she's attacked by a fire court assassin and saved by Rowan, a swoon-worthy elemental with a questionable past.

 

Worst of all, she learns her father is missing.

 

To rescue him, Kalin will have to work with a judgmental council and a system of courts too busy accusing each other of deceit to actually be able to help her. But, they aren’t her biggest challenge. With the Midwinter’s Ball only five days away, Kalin must take over her father’s duties, which includes shifting control of the elements—power Kalin has yet to realize.

 

As Rowan attempts to train her, a war looms between the four courts. If Kalin fails, her father will die and the courts will fall, but the betrayal she’s about to uncover may cost her even more...

 

Available Exclusively at Amazon eBook for $2.99 and Paperback for $8.99

The Hekapolis Trilogy: Experiment Cover Reveal-Ana Bastow

Title: The Hekapolis Trilogy #2 : Experiment

Author: Ana Bastow

Genre: Upper YA/ New Adult Multicultural Paranormal Romance

Intended age: 16 and up, IMO.

Heat level: I want to say hot PG13.

Blurb:

"A betrayal, the Akelarre, a birth, a funeral, a wedding....in that order.

Gabrielle is enjoying her first real boyfriend. Her new family is supportive, but her college friends, especially Tess, think she is going to get her heartbroken by the campus "Petri Dish. "

Gabrielle knows his reputation as a womanizer is an exaggeration- knowing a human, in the biblical sense, means madness or death for any wizard. This sadly includes her and -even though William can do feats with his tongue worthy of an R version of Cirque do Soleil- her desire for him keeps growing to the point of almost causing a disaster for the young couple.

Their situation becomes even more trying when Samantha, shielded by the Wizard's redemption laws, ensures her residency with the Wyseman for as long as she is paying for her crimes. And she is not afraid to use all her seduction repertoire to try to win her fiancé back. Gabrielle contemplates the possibility that William might fall out of love with her. Pondering this predicament, William, Maggie and her prepare Gabrielle for her first visit to Hekapolis for the Akelarre, and given that Samantha is banned from the city she is glad to take a break from the competition.

The sanctuary of witches is a paradise of broom races, dragon riders, winged horses, unicorns and people of all backgrounds trading spells and potions with their family and friends from the seven corners of the world.

During the festivities, Gabrielle meets gorgeous Mitali -William's best friend- and she discovers there is a romantic past between them. Shocked by this, Mitali eases her fears by offering her a chance to use her magical gifts so that she and William can have a full physical relationship at last.

But the offer comes with a warning from her new friend: "Once I reveal my potion, you will have to choose between giving yourself to William in body, mind and soul...Or breaking up with him..."
Gabrielle will battle more internal demons and will receive the help of an unlikely ally to figure out her future with William."

Blurb: 

It's the year 2185, and in two weeks, Aloy will turn eighteen and take her father's place as president of the country. But to do so, she must masquerade as a boy to avoid violating the Eco-Accords, four treaties designed to bring the world back from the brink of environmental extinction. Aloy hopes to govern like her father, but she is inheriting a different country. The long concealed Technology Faction is stepping out of the shadows, and as turmoil grows within her country, cryptic threats also arrive from beyond the borders.

As she struggles to lead, Aloy maintains her cover by marrying a woman, meanwhile battling feelings for the boy who knows her secret - the boy who is somehow connected to her country's recent upheaval. When assassination attempts add to the turmoil, Aloy doesn't know whom to trust. She understood leadership required sacrifice. She just didn't realize the sacrifice might be her life.

Every sacrifice has consequences.

Sixteen-year-old Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortals—learning to control the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by completing a secret mission:

Kill Kalin, the half-human, half-elemental daughter of the air court king.

Willing to do anything to remove his mother from power, he agrees to sacrifice the halfling. He returns to the mortal world with his best friend, Marcus, determined to kill the princess. But as he devises a plan, he starts to question whether or not he's capable of completing such a heinous task. And what price he will pay if he refuses?

CROWN OF ICE COVER REVEAL- VICKI L. WEAVIL

Love YA Fantasy? I do. So I'm thrilled to host a my wonderful AQC friend, Vicki L. Weavil's cover reveal for her fantasy retelling, CROWN OF ICE. Aren't Snow Queen Thyra's eyes chilling...brr... I wouldn't want to get on her bad side.

Title: CROWN OF ICE
Author: Vicki L. Weavil
Genre: YA Fantasy, retelling
Format: Paperback, eBook
Release Date: December 16, 2014
Goodreads

Blurb:

Thyra Winther's seventeen, the Snow Queen, and immortal, but if she can't
reassemble a shattered enchanted mirror by her eighteenth birthday she's doomed
to spend eternity as a wraith.

Armed with magic granted by a ruthless wizard, Thyra schemes to survive with her
mind and body intact. Unencumbered by kindness, she kidnaps local boy Kai
Thorsen, whose mathematical skills rival her own. Two logical minds, Thyra
calculates, are better than one. With time rapidly melting away she needs all
the help she can steal.

A cruel lie ensnares Kai in her plan, but three missing mirror shards and Kai's
childhood friend, Gerda, present more formidable obstacles. Thyra's willing to
do anything – venture into uncharted lands, outwit sorcerers, or battle
enchanted beasts -- to reconstruct the mirror, yet her most dangerous adversary
lies within her breast. Touched by the warmth of a wolf pup's devotion and the
fire of a young man's desire, the thawing of Thyra's frozen heart could be her
ultimate undoing.

CROWN OF ICE is a YA Fantasy that reinvents Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow
Queen" from the perspective of a young woman who discovers that the greatest
threat to her survival may be her own humanity.

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!
