Happy Release Day, David James! Plus an interview & giveaway!
Let me start this post by saying Happy Release Day to David James! His debut novel, LIGHT OF THE MOON, is out today!
I've yet to read LOTM (I will soon!), but the description sounds awesome--and that cover is gorgeous, see?
David was gracious enough to answer a few questions, so I won't dilly-dally any longer...on to the interview! (p.s.--stick around, cause there's a giveaway at the end!)

GONE GIRL goes traveling!
So the lovely Christa Desir was gracious enough a few weeks ago to offer me her copy of GONE GIRL by the super-fab Gillian Flynn (if you've never read her work, you have to. Like, have to.) and I quickly said YES! I offered to send the book back once I was finished reading it, but Christa said, "No way. Just pass on the goodness, that's all I ask."
So, I came up with a great idea--I would send GONE GIRL to anyone interested in reading it, said readers would write a personal comment to th...

Jump Around! Jump Around! Jump, Jump, Jump Around!
We've all heard it. We've all done it. That House of Pain hit "Jump Around" might have ridiculous lyrics, but it also has one of those beats that you just can't help but, well, jump around to.
And though most of us most likely would never admit to doing so, when we blare this song and actually "Jump Around," we have fun.
Well, I've given in to that "Jump Around" philosophy where my writing is concerned, and I must admit that, though it's against my nature (I'm typically a "start...

Interview & a giveaway w/author Elana Johnson!
So just for funsies (and because she truly rocks), I reached out to the fab Elana Johnson for a mini-interview and she graciously obliged--which translates to DOUBLE WIN for all of you! Why, you may ask?
Because not only do you get to read the interview, but you also get a chance to win a copy of her newest book, SURRENDER!! (or the first in the series, Possession, if you've yet to read that one.)
Without further ado, here's the interview!
Thanks so much, Elana, for answering my questions-...
