Team Connor Cobalt vs. Team Ryke Meadows: Whose Side Are You On?

What I've come to notice through comments and discussions about the Addicted series is that the readers who adore Connor Cobalt's endearing honesty tend to dislike Ryke Meadows' blunt, slightly abrasive honesty.

Even though Krista and I love all of our characters equally, we definitely have a soft spot for these two, and we take our own sides. Why is that? Well, one of us generally writes one character and the other writes the other one. It's nearly the only instance where we don't collaborate...

This Week In TV [1]

This is our fourth and final meme that will be reoccurring on this blog. It's all about TV! And boy do we love our television shows. We're huge junkies when it comes to the small screen. Who doesn't love seeing amazing fictional characters come to life every week? In this post we'll recap what we watched over the week and our thoughts on the show. If you haven't watched the episode -- beware, there might be spoilers.

All of these this week are reality shows since summer television is still win...

Hothouse Flower Cover Redesign: Why? What is it? And Why We Love it!

why the new cover? Can't you authors make up your mind?! Redesigning this cover wasn't so much out of choice but necessity. Alot of you are probably scratching your heads right now. We already did a reveal for Hothouse Flower, unveiling a cover featuring a sultry Daisy and Ryke that I loved.

My thoughts on the original cover? I was obsessed with it. I made it my Twitter background image so I could stare at. And then, something awful happened which we haven't really announced to anyone.

Another...

What Happened in College... [1]

Krista and I have decided to do some new memes here every week. So far we've started What We're Writing To, and now we're going to do a new feature called What Happened in College. Since we write New Adult (college-aged romance) we thought it would be fun to share our stories that happened in college. We were just there after all ;) That Time That Guy Pulled Up **** In Class
By Becca In Addicted to You, people often comment about that one scene -- you know the time where Lily is caught watchin...

WHAT WE'RE WRITING TO [1]

So we're going to try and start some weekly memes here on our author blog. The first one we'll be "What We're Writing To" and for the acronym lovers (i.e. me) that would be WWWT :)

Now Becca and I are usually working on different books, so we're not going to spoil and tell you guys what books we're currently writing. But we will say what kind of scenes we're working on. More memes will follow this one. Hopefully a little more creative ;) Enjoy below! KRISTA: I'm WRITING TO... "Wrecking Ball" b...

The Addicted Series is on Facebook!

If you don't know by now -- Becca and I don't really use facebook. I know, Snow White, I know. Though I must say that we're not really against facebook, but we really just had no use for it. (We're twitter people). Before we were authors, we mainly went on facebook to connect with new people that we met in college. Other than that, we didn't use it much. My profile picture stayed the same for roughly four years, and I had status updates every two years.

Now -- everything is about to cha...

This cover is long overdue.Addicted for Nowis part of theAddicted series. In short, it's about two addicts -- an alcoholic and a sex addict -- who have to find a way to make their unconventional (and pretty dysfunctional) relationship work amid their vices. Krista and I are the authors of this New Adult contemporary romance series, and we're very happy to be able to present the cover for the official sequel!

I'll talk about the cover and the process after we reveal it. So keep reading af...

Cover Reveal: Hothouse Flower

First off, if you haven't read the summary for Hothouse Flower, check it out here. In brief, it's a standalone New Adult romance about an alpha male guy trying to protect his brother's girlfriend's fearless sister (yes, that's a mouthful). His goal -- to keep Daisy Calloway from jumping off the deep-end of ... well, life in general.

We've been nervously waiting to reveal this cover. Why are we so frightened? Partly because this book is going to be wild and crazy and push the limits (just how w...
