DEVIANTS Cover Art

The snip tease is over! I can finally reveal the cover for DEVIANTS, Book One in The Dust Chronicles.

Kelley Armstrong, #1 NYT Bestselling author of the Darkest Powers Series, says:

"A deliciously dark, harrowing world, brightened by dazzling characters and sparkling prose."

I say:

"I'm so thrilled this book is coming out in October! Can't wait! And, um, it's up for pre-order. Just saying."

Big week!

First, I'm interviewing friend and multi-talented author Diana Peterfreund tomorrow at Get Lost In a Story. My copy of For Darkness Shows the Stars arrived in the mail on Friday and I can't wait to dig in!!!  I'll post some of the interview here, too. :)










Second, my critique partner and best buddy, Molly O'Keefe's first single title contemporary romance will be released on Tuesday! Can't Buy Me Love is a fabulous book. Funny, sexy, heartbreaking and, yes, serious. Molly's ability to create characters who seem real (versus romance land perfect) never ceases to amaze me.






Also on Tuesday, another critique partner, Joanne Levy's first middle grade novel releases!  Small Medium at Large is also  fabulous and funny. I read a previous version of this book and can't wait to read the final product!











And then finally... I'm finally, on Thursday, going to release the cover for DEVIANTS!!!

Here's a tiny sneak peek.

Stay tuned. :)

YA in Tudor England!

Today I interviewed Katherine Longshore, author of the historical YA novel, GILT.

Welcome Katherine Longshore

Today I'm happy to host Young Adult author Katherine Longshore whose debut novel, Gilt, is set in Tudor England!

ABOUT THE BOOK

In the Tudor age, ambition, power and charismatic allure are essential and Catherine Howard has plenty of all three. Not to mention her loyal best friend, Kitty Tylney, to help cover her tracks. Kitty, the abandoned youngest daughter of minor aristocracy, owes everything to Cat—where she is, what she is, even who she is. Friend, flirt, and self-proclaimed Queen of Misrule, Cat reigns supreme in a loyal court of girls under the none-too-watchful eye of the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk.

When Cat worms her way into the heart of Henry VIII and becomes Queen of England, Kitty is thrown into the intoxicating Tudor Court. It's a world of glittering jewels and elegant costumes, of gossip and deception. As the Queen's right-hand-woman, Kitty goes from the girl nobody noticed to being caught between two men—the object of her affection and the object of her desire.

But the atmosphere of the court turns from dazzling to deadly, and Kitty is forced to learn the difference between trust and loyalty, love and lust, secrets and treason. And to accept the consequences when some lessons are learned too late.
