Cover Reveal: Pretty Little Lies

May 3, 2013

Today I am excited to be able to help author Jennifer Miller unveil the cover of her debut novel, Pretty Little Lies, which is to be released on June 12. Without further ado, here it is:

Pretty Little Lies by Jennifer Miller Isn’t that beautiful? And here is the synopsis:

A little lie can change the course of everything. . .

Like every other eighteen-year-old in love, Olivia has dreams of spending forever with the love of her life. Luke is all she’s ever wanted – until she overhears something she was never meant to. In a matter of seconds, Olivia’s heart is shattered. Olivia handles it the only way she knows how – she runs- leaving behind her family, friends and the boy she loves.

Seeking comfort and an escape, Olivia finds it in resident bad boy Deacon. He’s everything Luke isn’t – and that’s fine with Olivia.

Now, seven years later, Olivia is older, wiser and headed back to Chicago looking forward to a fresh start and reconnecting with her best friend Pyper. What she doesn’t expect, is to come face to face with the boy she left behind and discover that even though she may have left, her feelings for him didn’t.

Can Olivia put aside the pain in her heart and trust Luke? Will the ties to her past ever let her go, or will she continue to let her life be affected by pretty little lies?

Sounds good! Make sure to add it to your to-read list on Goodreads!

Lost in You

Ryan Stone is a less than average teenager. He doesn’t have fancy clothes. He doesn’t carry around the latest smartphone and he definitely doesn’t have an MP3 player. Instead, he goes to school, does his chores and dreams of a new life away from Brookfield where he’s expected to follow in his blue collar family’s footsteps.

Hadley Carter is America’s Pop Princess. A successful recording artist living her dream with a sold-out tour and a handful of Grammy’s there isn’t much that she wants for, except love. But finding love on the road is near impossible when all she longs for are romantic dinners, a nighttime stroll on the beach and holding hands with someone who isn’t going to exploit her.

When a chance encounter introduces Ryan to Hadley, will he be like her adoring fans looking for a way in, or will it be Hadley who pursues Ryan even though it might cost her the only career she’s known.

As a member of Mike Dellosso’s The Darlington Society, I get early access to his new books and inside information on what’s next. One of those fun things is getting to see the cover before it’s officially released – and getting to share it with all of you. As such, I’m excited to share the cover for his upcoming Fearless (May 2013)!

Wrestling with the recent loss of their own child, Amy is very hurt and angry while Jim is just trying to make it through each day and hold their marriage together.

They soon discover Louisa has a special gift—being able to see hurting hearts and heal them. Louisa’s gift is a help to Jim and Amy, but when the same gift unknowingly puts her in contact with a serial killer she believes needs her help, the grieving couple must unite to face all odds and save themselves and Louisa before it’s too late

Cover Reveal: Stained

January 29, 2013

Cheryl Rainfield is one of my favorite authors, and I’m excited to get to help her release the cover to her upcoming YA novel, Stained.

Stained Ok, just that picture gives me chills! Here’s the synopsis:

In this heart-wrenching and suspenseful teen thriller, sixteen-year-old Sarah Meadows longs for “normal.” Born with a port-wine stain covering half her face, all her life she’s been plagued by stares, giggles, bullying, and disgust. But when she’s abducted on the way home from school, Sarah is forced to uncover the courage she never knew she had, become a hero rather than a victim, and learn to look beyond her face to find the beauty and strength she has inside. It’s that—or succumb to a killer.

Cue more chills! Sounds really good. Mark your calendar – or at least add it to your to-read shelf on Goodreads – as it’s coming out in November. It’s a long wait, but I suspect it’ll be worth it!

Cheryl Rainfield From the author:

Like I did with SCARS and HUNTED, I drew on some of my own experiences of bullying, abuse, and trauma to write STAINED and to give it greater emotional depth. Like Sarah in STAINED, I experienced abduction, imprisonment, periods of forced starvation, mind control, and having my life threatened. And like Sarah, I tried hard to fight against my abuser, keep my own sense of self, and escape. I hope readers will see Sarah’s strength and courage, and appreciate her emotional growth as she reclaims herself.

And here is the trailer (in case it won’t load, the link is HERE):

Stained is available for preorder, if you want to make sure to get your copy ASAP.

Cover Reveal with Giveaway: Second Rate Chances

December 12, 2012

Sam wakes up in the hospital expecting to find his girlfriend by his bedside. Instead, he finds a bleached-blond diva, claiming to be his fiancée, hovering over him. When he learns that he’s just woken up from a coma and has lost the last three years of his life, any semblance of stability he thought he had falls down around him. All he wants – all he needs – is Lil.

After countless visits with her shrink and too many sleepless nights waiting for the one man she loves to walk back through the door, Lil wants nothing more than to separate herself from the life she used to have. But the moment Sam smiles at her, Lil knows it’s going to take more than self-restraint to stay away.

Second-Rate Chances is about a young man fighting to regain his memory, and the one thing in his life that felt real. A modern-day Samson and Delilah, it’s a look at what it means to love and be loved, and to fight though it seems hopeless.

Release Date: January 10, 2012

About Holly

People have often told me that I live in a fantasy world. Little did they know, I was building an empire of stories in my head to one day share.

I’m a mother first, a wife second, and a writer third. I’m so thankful to have been given this chance to get my stories out of my head and onto paper.

When I’m not writing, I sell plumbing (no I’m not kidding) and read romances that leave my heart a flutter. I know a ridiculous amount of pop culture information and can quote certain movies word for word. Music drives me to write and to also sing off key.

Cover Reveal: Goddess (Starcrossed #3)

October 28, 2012

If you know me, then you know I’m a big fan of the Starcrossed series by Josephine Angelini. Earlier today I was delighted to catch Josie’s post revealing the cover to the final book, Goddess! Take a look:

Goddess

Isn’t that absolutely gorgeous? It continues the visual theme of the other two books, and the colors are just amazing! I love it! I am very much looking forward to reading Goddess! Here’s the synopsis:

After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.

To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.

Sounds really good. I cannot wait! And, finally, just to have the aforementioned visuals, here are the covers to the first two:

Starcrossed Dreamless

Love, love, LOVE all three!

Unfortunately, Goodreads says it’s not coming until the end of next MAY! That is such a LONG WAIT! But, you can add it to your to-read list now right HERE. You can also follow this series (and many others) on FictFact.
