Dark and Gorgeous: FLAWED by Kate Avelynn

Entangled has been coming out with some particularly rocking covers, and they're known for fresh, amazing stories. But there is just something about FLAWED by Kate Avelynn that blows me away.

The cover is simple, yet gorgeous. Haunting and dark. Kinda like the story itself.

 

Sarah O'Brien is alive because of the pact she and her brother made twelve years ago—James will protect her from their violent father if she promises to never leave him. For years, she's watched James destroy his life to...

Permission To Be Stubborn

Happy Thursday, y'all!  Today I thought I'd share the WOW Guest Post I did last week over at Adventures in Children's Publishing. If you haven't been to this site/blog before, it is a must read, must follow blog for any aspiring or published author. I was lucky to find it when I was just beginning my writing journey, and I have learned so much over there. It was an an honor to be a part of it for even a day =) So, here it is . . . my what-have-I-learned-on-this-journey musings. I hope it...

The Oddity That Makes My Husband Laugh

Okay, that's a bit of a misnomer. There are MANY odd things that I do that make my husband laugh. He can't help it, I'm a rare mix of spastic, silly weirdness.

BUT I must admit, there's one thing he recently pointed out that even has me laughing at myself.

 

WARNING: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm a dork. You have been warned . . .

 

So, here's a little glimpse into my unique brand of madness. The particular oddity that has my husband rolling his eyes and laughing at me the most...

LUMINOSITY.

It just makes me smile.

Anyhoo, Stephanie Thomas is a complete doll and I've loved getting to know her the past few months. And now, I'm stoked to share her gorgeous, mysterious cover with all of you.

I LOVE Cover Reveals!

Yesterday I celebrated the gorgeousness that is my girl Tara's INBETWEEN cover, and last week I drooled over rockstar Melissa's GRAVITY cover.

Cover Reveal: INBETWEEN by Tara Fuller

EEP!!! Okay, so as many of you know, my debut is coming out this fall with Entangled Teen. That alone is unreal and exciting and frankly, unbelievable. Happy dances galore and jazz hands abound. But to be perfectly honest, what makes me feel so blessed is being surrounded with so many rock star peeps . . . and really it doesn't get much more rock star than my pub house sister, Tara Fuller.

Y'all, I freaking adore this girl!!!

Last month, I spotlighted her debut PERIGEE MOON over at YA Bound, ...

Cover Reveal: GRAVITY by Melissa West

SQUEE!!! I am so freaking excited to be sharing this with you today!!

I was blessed to be introduced to my pub house sister Melissa West a few months ago and I've been eagerly anticipating the release of her debut GRAVITY ever since.

She had me at the tagline: Don't. Ever. Peek.

Seriously, how cool is that???

Anyhoo, a few weeks ago I actually got a sneak peek of this cover, and y'all, I fell in love. So I won't keep you from the good stuff any longer . . .

 

Drum Roll Please . . . . .
