Teaser Tuesday: Fall Teaser 2

Hey lovelies!

Tuesday keeps sneaking up on me. Possibly because I never know what day it is.

I wavered between giving you another unedited teaser from Fall this week or a teaser from Call Your Name, a short story written exclusively for the Fandom for Preemies fundraiser. The Fall teaser won the day, mostly because I couldn't find anything suitably PG rated in Call Your Name. So, without further ado, I bring to you Fall Teaser #2!

Meet @KrystalWade - Author and Editor Extraordinaire

The last entries for the Perfect Paranormal/Fantasy Pitch Contest are in, and your first round judges have a tough decision ahead of them! But I think they're up for the task, don't you?

While our contest judges do their thing, I thought it was high time we heard from them and our prize panel directly. I've asked each of our participants a few questions, and I have to say their answers made me laugh.

Please welcome our first participant, Krystal Wade. Krystal has generously offered t...

Teaser Tuesday: Fall - The Ragnarok Prophesies - Book 2

Hello, lovelies!

It's time for another edition of Teaser Tuesday.

Everyone keeps telling me to hurry up and finish Book Two. Since I can only write so fast, I've decided to get you a little unedited excerpt from the book today to tide you over. As usual any errors are mine. Keep reading after the teaser for your chance to take a chapter-length sneak peek at the continuation of their story before it's even finished. :)

Ready for it?!

"Men suck," I muttered to Chelle.

18 Things by @JamieMAyres Cover Reveal!


I'm so excited for this cover reveal, loves. I've been eagerly awaiting 18 Things since interviewing Jamie as part of the Buccaneer Blogfest over the summer. We're getting closer! 18 Things will release from Curiosity Quills Press in the coming months. Woohoo!

In the meantime, I'm loving this cover. The lightning, the storm, the color selection. It's fabulous. The entire cover reminds me of some of the pieces in Jonathon Earl Bowser's Goddess Art collection. And I fully intend to own every on...

My Biggest Fan's 22nd Surgery and How #Fade Made it the Operating Room

It has been a very long day here. We had to be at the hospital bright and early this morning for my biggest fan Aloshua's 22nd surgery. Yes, you read that right. I said 22nd. But let's skip back to last night really quickly.

Mama Ayden, the Keeper of the Cheerios, Losh, and his brother and sister (Kai and Little Princess) came and stayed with me and the husband so they didn't have to get up at 4am to make it the hospital for surgery this morning. My mom brought in a stack o...

@TM_Franklin's Ten Rules for Dating a Superhero and Author Interview

Today, the amazing T.M. Franklin has stopped by to chat with us about her upcoming YA novel, MORE, and to give us her ten rules for dating a superhero. If you haven't heard about MORE yet, you're probably living under a rock. ;)

MORE is the story of Ava Michaels, who might just be as special as she once believed. And of Caleb Foster, who is definitely more than he appears to be.

Together, Ava and Michael face an ancient threat intent on exposing her secrets in their quest to capture or kill her...

An Open Letter to Authors

Dear Authors,

Each year, writers and artists from around the world put their talents to work to help support the March of Dimes as they work to end prematurity and cure birth defects, and I'd like to extend a personal invitation to each of you to get involved. This is a cause very near and dear to me, both as the aunt of three preemies and as a volunteer coordinator for an organization that does everything possible to keep families together while their children fight serious medical issues li...

Blog Hijack! EVER by @JessaRusso


Hey guys and dolls, how's it going? 
Don't look so startled - I don't bite. 
My name's Frankie. And I'm just a regular guy. Well, except for the whole ghost thing, I guess. 


 You’re probably wondering what I'm doing here. Well, it’s pretty simple actually. Something is coming for my best friend Ever - something I alone cannot protect her from. Regardless of how much I love her how hard I try. 
So I have to spread the word.
And I need your help to do it.
I've been...
