First Paragraph of You Are Mine

Monday is launch day for my debut YA Fantasy, You Are Mine! In anticipation of this, I wanted to share the first paragraph with you today. Hope you enjoy, and have a fantastic weekend!

My blood will entice warlocks to ask for my hand in marriage, so of course Father wants it spilled.The sooner the magic within it is measured, the sooner he can sell me off. According to the laws of Chardonia, there’s no escaping it. For me that day has come.

What do you think of the first line/paragraph? Do you...

You Are Mine Cover Reveal

It’s here! It’s here! I’ve been waiting to show the cover ever since it was finished. There’s so much I could say, but I’ll let it speak for me instead. And no, it’s not on this post. I have some wonderful people who signed up with Xpresso Book Tours to help me show it off which I am extremely grateful for!

There are so many, many awesome people that signed up to help that I can’t list them all, so I decided to post the few who are giving a review with the cover reveal. And I have to say, read...

Cover — Piece Three

Last week I gave you a sneak peek of the blurb and background image on my cover. Today, I’m giving you a glimpse at a small, but very important piece of the cover. Image first, chat second. See you on the other side!

Without the background image this is a bit of a cheat since it will look a little different, but I left it this way to emphasis its importance. The tattoo is on a girl, the main character Serena to be exact. In Chardonia, the world in which YOU ARE MINE takes place, some...

Her expression, seen partially here, has always been what I’ve loved the most about this cover. It’s perfect for the book. What do you think?

While you’re here getting a glimpse of the cover, don’t forget that you can enter to win an eARC. Add it to Goodreads and/or share it online. Last check there were 66 adds! Thank you so much f...

You Are Mine eARC Giveaway

One of the hardest things about being self-published is getting the word out. So, I’m begging nicely asking for help to spread the word. But I can’t ask something of you without giving something back so — Those that help will have a chance to win an eARC (electronic advanced readers copy) of YOU ARE MINE before you can buy it! *cue cheering*

Plus something extra! Because I love extra prizes, more will be given away if more people add YOU ARE MINE to Goodreads. That’s right! I’m going to giveaw...

Inspiration Through Music

No cover peek today, but I do have something else for you. For the next look at the cover, check back on Wednesday. But come back before then on Monday for another surprise — one in which you could win something!

With the release coming so close I wanted to share something that has not only inspired my writing, but is something I love. I can’t listen to music while I’m writing, It’s too distracting. But I often listen to music in preparation to write. Finding music the right music was tricky a...

Cover — Piece One

On Monday I promised a surprise, and here it is. The full cover reveal is in two weeks. Two! Super excited for you to see it, so much so that I’m going to cheat bit over the next two weeks and give you some sneak peeks.

Today’s peek contains the blurb. The background image has been edited out (I know, I’m mean to tease with so little). But I wanted to share the just blurb because I’m in love with it. My super-incredible critic partner, RaeChell Garrett, helped me come up with it. (and seriousl...

First Review is Here

Three weeks until YOU ARE MINE is officially released! Less than a month away. I expected it to go by fast, but even with the expectation in place, the speed with which it is coming has been a little disorienting, but I’m getting used to it. The sad part is that I love spring, and I feel like it’s going to be gone before I’ve fully enjoyed it.

The very first review for YOU ARE MINE is in and it’s fantastic with 5 stars. It made me to a squeeing happy dance around the house which my two-year-ol...
