Spellcaster Quotey Quote

On Thanksgiving, to thank everyone for their support, I Tweeted out a quote from Spellcaster. But I only put it on Twitter! I was with family so I wasn't able to post it sooner, so here it is. The quote is from Angelique—and it's after the jump. "It's got more hate than you two have love."

What do you guys think?

 

Spellcaster Cover and Blurb

Hey guys,

I've spent the weekend working on the copyedit for Spellcaster. I can't wait to share this book with everyone—I'm dying to post quotes and teasers, which I promise to do a little closer to the release date (March 27). I realized I haven't shared yet the cover and blurb for Spellcaster, though, so check it out after the jump:

Finding your eternal soulmate – easy.

Stopping a true-love-hungry evil – not so much…

After breaking a centuries-old romantic curse, Emma Connor is (almost) glad to get back to normal problems. Although…it's not easy dealing with the jealous cliques and gossip that rule her exclusive Upper East Side prep, even for a seventeen-year-old newbie witch. Having the most-wanted boy in school as her eternal soul mate sure helps ease the pain-especially since wealthy, rocker-hot Brendan Salinger is very good at staying irresistibly close….

But something dark and hungry is using Emma and Brendan's deepest fears to reveal damaging secrets and destroy their trust in each other. And Emma's crash course in über-spells may not be enough to keep them safe…or to stop an inhuman force bent on making their unsuspected power its own.

What do you guys think? Let me know in comments—and you can pre-order Spellcaster on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

Nothing to See Here….

…Just the copyedit of Spellcaster is all!
