Cover Reveal: UNTOUCHED by Jus Accardo (Hot Hot Hot)

Last week, I promised you some Kale hotness . . and well, Jus Accardo DELIVERED!!

 

 

I thought TOUCH was hot and couldn't be topped, but holy hotness, this manages to do it!

 

UNTOUCHED, the novella told from our man's POV, has an expected pub date of February 21, 2012, so just a few more weeks until you can hold this baby in your hands. Until then, let's all drool, shall we?

 

Sigh.

 

So, What do YOU think?

 

Flirting With Fiction Bloggy Roundup 1/6/2012

Hey y'all!

Okay, so I'm supposed to have a post for you about goal setting and starting off 2012 on the "write foot," but things have been a little hectic the past few days :-) In all the fun hoopla, and meeting new friends, time kinda got away from me. OOPS!

But never fear, in lieu of my brilliant, sure-to-be inspiring ramblings, I have a link-a-palooza! I've gathered some of my favorite writing-related posts from the blogosphere this week, and put them below. I've also done a roundup of YA ...

My OFFICIAL Announcement & Celebration Giveaway!

I've known for a while that my debut YA novel MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEENTH CENTURY was being published . . . even though it still doesn't feel real. And though I got permission to announce it a few months ago, Publisher's Marketplace hadn't announced it yet, so it didn't seem *really* "official."

Well, it still doesn't feel real, but as of yesterday, it has been announced! Last night my agent sent this lovely present to my inbox:

 

Rachel Harris's MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEENTH CENTURY, pitched as...

Cover Reveal: TOXIC by Jus Accardo

WOOT! I know you drooled over Kale on the TOUCH cover. You fell in love with Dez and Kale, and, like me, have been twitching to get a glimpse of the next book in the series.

Well never fear, because today . . .  I've got your hook up!

 

Drum roll please . . . . .

 

BAM!!! TOXIC (pub date 5/1/12)

 

When a Six saved Kale's life the night of Sumrun, she warned there would be consequences. A trade-off. Something taken for the life they gained. But Dez never imagined she'd lose the one thing she'd give...

Surviving the Holidays with Your Work in Progress-and Sanity-Intact

Recently I was asked to contribute to my local RWA Newsletter about writing during the holidays. Needless to say, I was stoked. But when I sat to put thought to type, I realized I didn't want to just give *my* tips to the masses. In my opinion, articles that include a variety of people give much more bang for your reading time. So I turned to friends, Twitter, and my amazing Entangled pub sisters for tips and advice--and the info simply ROCKED!  Honestly, it was way too much--and too...
