Remember Trilogy covers are getting a new look!
I'm beyond excited to announce that the very talented Dana Gollance of ateliergollance.com is presently working on a new look for Remember When!
Don't get me wrong- I love the pink. The pink stands out. It's bubblegum sweet. It screams "eighties" to me.
BUT... The pink looks YOUNG. As adorable as it is, I've always felt it gave the wrong impression about the story.
So, the release of RW2 was a good enough excuse as any to change things up a bit.
The cover I've posted for RW2 here on goodreads is NOT the one we'll be using, but the vibe is there. All three books will have coordinating covers that I simply cannot wait to share with you.
The reveals will happen on facebook, so if you're not already following me there, I suggest you get your butt in gear and do so. We have lots of fun on the page, and you don't want to miss out!

Stay tuned...

Remember When 2 Teaser
To celebrate 100 LIKES on facebook, I offered this RW2 teaser. I thought I'd share it here, too, as a big THANK YOU to everyone who read and/or reviewed the book!
Oh- And here's my fb page link:

Remember When 2: The Sequel
Trip went to open the window, but it had been caked over with about twenty coats of paint from over the years, and was giving the big strong galoot some trouble. I went over to help him.
“There’s a trick to it,” I said, as I gave a sharp smack with my palm against the lower right...hand corner, then slid it up with ease.
The beautiful man in my bedroom nodded his head at me, impressed.
I felt that familiar stirring in my heart, while my brain chastised me for giving such a damn. I never knew why it always meant so much to win his approval. Even for the smallest of things.
He stuck his head outside and looked up the fire escape, asking, “Hey. Can we go up there?”
“To the roof? Yeah. I do it all the time.”
His head reappeared, the most adorable smile on his face, like a kid who’d just found a hidden stash of candy. “Ya wanna?”
I couldn’t help but smile back.
I sashayed into the kitchen, grabbed a couple glasses and an opened bottle of wine from my fridge, and met Trip back in my bedroom. Jesus. He was just sitting there, waiting for me, on my bed.
He stood, took the stuff from my hands and offered, “Ladies first.”
The yeah, okay look I shot him was rewarded with a flash of his white teeth. “What?”
It was so like him. He was still such a boy, trying to arrange a peek up my skirt. “Trip. I’m wearing a dress, for godsakes. I’m quite sure that hasn’t escaped your notice.”
“Well, then, take it off.”
I punched his arm, causing him to bobble the glassware in his grasp as I said, “I am not going first. And the dress is staying on. Go.”
See you in June! *evil laugh*

I just received the very first paperback copy of Remember When! It's only a proof, and the cover still needs a bit of tweaking... But I'm hopeful that it will be offered alongside the Kindle version within the next week or so.
I'll keep you posted. ;)
