Teaser Tuesday!

First off let me apologize for no post yesterday. I began a much-needed vacation and I'm spending this week deep in Edit World (it's a sad, lonely world, but I have to be there). So, I'm pre-building the rest of the posts for this week, and though I'm going to try, I can't promise I'll be back on to read your comments (but please comment anyway!).
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Meet an Author Monday...Suzy Turner!

Please help me welcome the lovely Suzy Turner to the blog today. Suzy is the author of the upcoming YA Urban Fantasy Raven, being released via Amazon.com. Please check out her website and read all about this really cool book...

And as a way of saying thank-you, I've decided to have a g...

Waiting on Wednesday: Silence

The lovely Jill (a fellow Alabamian!) over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on.

The cover for this week's selection was just released Monday and I have to say that I love it. And I can't wait to actually see it in print because I already know it's going to have that shiny metallic finish like it's two predecessors. My WoW this week is...
