New Author, New Publisher - Beautiful New Cover!

I'm so happy to be sharing this cover reveal with everyone - this is a huge event! Both the author and the publisher are true phoenixes, rising from the ashes of The-Publisher-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. 
This event is a testimony to their hard work, determination and the belief that both will pay off in the long run. 
So, without further ado:

I'm such a tease...

Okay - I know - I promised lots of juicy tidbits from the Romantic Times Convention I attended in New Orleans last week.

But - quite honestly - I'm not up to it.

If you've been following on FB and Twitter, you know Charlie has been very ill this week. He had emergency surgery Wednesday and (fingers crossed) is on the mend, but it's made for one hulluva long week.

So - because you've been such patient little darlings - I have something better for you:

The Problem With Crazy (has there ever been a more appropriate title on this blog?)

GOODREADS


BLURB
The problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good crazy, bad crazy . . . or crazy crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung about me on the radio.
Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend's band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery illness,...

Taming Darkness is BACK!

Kat is one of my besties from "the publisher who shall not be named," and like me, she's going Indy with this amazing book. I've read it. I've devoured it. I've drooled all over the bloody thing. 
Bringing a fresh new take to Lucifer and his - ah, shall we say "quirks," she's created a wonderful tale of desire and fulfillment. And now, there's a GORGEOUS new cover to go with it! 
The amazingly talented S.P. McConnell worked VERY hard on creating this original illustration, so please,...

INFINITE POTENTIAL NEW COVER REVEAL!!!

Okay, I have to say, I loved my previous cover. All the mystery and the image of that man in the corner. Who was he? Was that Aiden? Was that the Dark-Haired Man? The rocks and the stormy sea - it was a wonderful image…


But this cover? This cover ROCKS MY WORLD! This is Kelsi, with all the mystery and haunting beauty. This is the vision I had in my head, and I'm so grateful to Cheryl at www.ccrpredesignedbookcovers.com - she has an amazing stock of photography and does wonderful things with th...

A Late Thaw, by Ana Blaze

I'm so happy to share this cover with you! Ana writes some of the sweetest, steamiest romance I've read, and this book is no exception!
Drum roll, please!


Personally, I think this cover is MUCH better than the original! It really captures the heat between Cole and Kiley. I'm thrilled Ana is rereleasing this on her own!
Here's the blurb, some linky links and an AWESOME prize pack!

What makes it worthwhile...

I received an email yesterday that just MADE. MY. DAY. 

It was the first thing I opened in the morning, and (in between dancing around with jazz hands and smiling my silly face off) I had to share it with everyone. Including you. 

But first the jazz hands and silly face. Cuz, ya know: Jazz hands. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Nuff said.



So, before I post the email, here's the backstory: despite my publisher going out of business, when Infinite Potential was initially released we ran a Rafflecop...
