Cover Reveal - Mia's Heart - Courtney Cole


My name is Mia Giannis.
I am seventeen years old.
I live in Valese, Caberra. 

This has become my mantra and my lifeline, having recently lost my memory due to a scary natural disaster.

Yeah.  I have amnesia.  Messed up, right?

You don’t know the half of it.

Not remembering anything has turned my world upside down. My parents try their hardest to “remind” me of who I was, but it doesn’t feel right. Or, if what they’re saying is true and that really was me, I’m not sure I like that person very much.

And then there’s my love life.  Apparently, Gavin Ariastasis is my oldest and best friend in the world. Also, apparently, we’ve never dated.  But now, noticing him for what feels like the first time, he’s making my heart do somersaults.  He knows me inside and out—the real me.  Plus, he’s sexy and charming as hell.  Sounds perfect, right?

But then… there’s the new guy. Quinn McKeyen – tall, gorgeous and deliciously American.  His mischievous grin and slow Midwestern drawl turn my insides to mush in two seconds flat making me question who I really am and what I really want.

Seriously. What am I supposed to do with all that?!  I feel torn between them, but I barely even know who I am, let alone what I want.

I just hope my indecisive heart will clue me in.  And sooner rather than later…before I lose what little of my mind that I have left.

Demons Forever in One Week!! - Sarra Cannon

Hi everyone!! I’m sorry I haven’t been around much, but I’ve been working so incredibly hard on Demons Forever. I want every little detail to be perfect. Plus, I’m not one of these writers who has the book completed and ready a month or two ahead of time and sends it out to editors, etc. I am a last-minute kind of gal, LOL.

The truth is, I work very well under pressure. It can be incredibly stressful, but it’s also very fun. :) With each release in this series, I’ve ended up rewriting entire sections of the book in the last week before it came out. Does this make me insane? Quite possibly, yes.
And here we are!! One week from the release of Demons Forever! I am excited and so very nervous to find out what everyone thinks of the ending. I have truly poured my heart and my passion into this novel, so I am praying fans of the series love it!

As I’ve mentioned before, October 29th is also my 2 year Indie-versary!!!! That means it will be exactly two years since I took a leap of faith and self-published Beautiful Demons. I was nervous, wondering if it was a smart move for me or if I should look for an agent and try to publish traditionally instead. I am so happy I decided to become an Indie author. It’s one of the best decisions I ever made, and I am excited to celebrate 2 years and over 104,000 sales.

How do I plan to celebrate both of these major events?? With some fun FAN APPRECIATION giveaways!!!!! After all, where would I be without you guys? <3 I have been working very hard to put together a fun fan appreciation swag pack. I will have all of the amazing details on how to get one for yourself starting soon (after I finish all the final work on Demons Forever), but for now, I’ll tease you a little with pics of what is in the prize packs. I hope you like it!

The Plan - M. Leighton

Now, I've been hearing a lot of the same kinds of questions, which makes me think that even more of you are wondering, just maybe don't have the time to ask.  So, I'm going to tell you what I'm working on and what I WILL be working on for the next few months so you'll know.

Wild Ones Series - Wild Child
Down to You Series - Up to Me
Wild Ones Series - Wild Nights (tentative title)
Down to You Series - Down to You book 3 (not at all the title :-)  hehe)

I hope this helps and gives you something to look forward to.  I will keep you as informed as I possibly can and I'll give you plenty of teasers to tide you over;)  *rubs hands together*

Exciting News! Announcing Grimmdale High - Coming December 2012! - Karly Kirkpatrick

I'm so excited to tell you about my super secret project. I've been tossing this idea around since early 2012 and have finally made some time to make them a reality!

I've always been a fan of fairy tales, as well as all things funny.
Grimmdale High is a marriage of both of those things. I'm approaching this series differently than my novels.

Grimmdale High
will start off with two short episodes, short stories of about 10,000 words (40-50 pages, give or take). I'm hoping to release Snow White vs. Rose Red, which will be the first episode in the series, as well as Fairest of Them All, the second in the series, in December, before Christmas.

Ideally, I'll put out another episode in January, then February, and the final one in March. After the final episode, I'll bundle the series together into a complete volume.  If the idea is popular and readers really like it, then I'll look into doing a second round of them. I'm sort of thinking of these in terms of half-hour sitcoms. If I had to explain the genre to you, it would be a mash up of the TV shows Once Upon a Time and Suburgatory.

On the two covers, you get to meet the star of the Grimmdale High series, Bianca von Schweinhausen, or Snow White as her mother calls her. The blond is Rosie von Schweinhausen, Bianca's older sister. To say they dislike each other is an understatement.


I'll have full blurbs for them in November, so keep an eye out!


I've also got another idea of shorts in the works on the schedule for the spring, after this and
New Blood, my next novel, are completed.

JUST FOR NOW excerpt - Abbi Glines

JUST FOR NOW excerpt
 
Warning: It is very hot and is not suitable for young readers. 

      
    “Manda, please baby, tell me to stop,” he begged in a deep husky voice while he trailed kisses from my mouth to my neck, where he began licking and nip

ping the tender skin there.
     “I don’t want to,” I gasped out as his finger entered me easily.
     “So sweet. So wet. I shouldn’t be able to touch you. I’m not good enough.” His tortured voice only turned me on more. I opened my legs and he sank down between them as his fingers eased in and out of me.
    “You’re so warm,” he murmured as he kissed down my chest and finally let go of my hands so that he could use his free hand to slid up the inside of my shirt. He chose that moment to start rubbing his thumb over my clit. I cried out and clung to both his arms. I was so close.
   “No,” he bit out and then he was gone.
My breathing was labored and my body parts started screaming in protest. I wanted him back. Touching me.
   “No! I can’t do this. I shouldn’t have started it.” Preston was standing up when I opened my eyes. His face looked fierce and he wasn’t looking at me. Instead, he was focused on the dark sky.
   “This is wrong,” he said again in a determined voice.
