Cover Reveal: Tell Me You Love Me Anthology

Y'ALL. I AM ASHAMED OF MYSELF. I meant to have this post scheduled for 5am WEEKS AGO, and was it? Nope. Was it even remotely close to ready? Nope. Am I having to put this together when I should be doing school? Yes. In my defense, it's been an insanely busy couple weeks (*coughs year) lately, but that's no excuse. So, my incompetence aside, allow me to share one of the most amazing projects I have ever heard of (totally not saying that because it was my idea), Tell Me You Lov

Cover Reveal: Bound and Determined by Yours Truly

Y'all, I literally don't have words right now. Like...this is all so surreal. After so many months of torture - I mean, hard work and dedication, I finally get to share the cover of Bound and Determined with you guys. I just...I can't believe it. Now, I don't have a preorder link yet or even a release date or anything at all planned at this moment (still knee-deep in edits, y'all), but if you wanna keep up-to-date on all the goings-on with BAD, you can stick around here and f

Welcome to July! (June Wrapup + July Goals)

For once, I am actually glad another month has passed! June is, naturally, my new least favorite month of the year…not that I’m very fond of any of the summer months. Believe it or not, I am NOT a summer girl. *shudders* But enough about that! I hope y’all have been enjoying the deathly heat—maybe y’all had sense enough to vacation in the Alps or something. *winks* Speaking of vacation, that is the excuse I’m giving for not having completed everything on my to-do list this mo

Cover Reveals: Iron and Roses, Thorns, & Curses

I've got something for y'all I like to call a double whammy. That's right. Not just one cover reveal...TWO! No, neither of them are of Bound and Determined (yet!), but they are for two fantastical fairytale retellings releasing this year! I'm a part of the Feathers and Roses: All Things Fairy Tale Dual Cover Reveal, hosted by Jen’s Author Assistance, which means I get to share about Jenavieve's own debut novel, Roses, Thorns, and Curses, AND Iron by Madisyn Carlin (which are

Today is the day...the day I reveal THREE g o r g e o u s book covers and introduce y'all to another amazing series by Kellyn Roth that you're sure to love almost as much as The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy!

Cover Reveal: The House That Didn't End by E. K. Seaver

This post needs no introduction. I'm preeeety sure that cover right there is intro enough. Y'all remember E. K. Seaver? (Hopefully, you signed up for her launch team...) Anyway, she's my amazing friend who wrote this amazing book. Maybe you had a chance to read the early version she had on her blog. I did, and on top of that I got to help line edit it...so maybe I'm biased when I say that this is gonna be one of the best fantasy books you've ever read. *clears throat* But my

Coming Soon: Ignite by Jenna Terese

*squeals with excitement* GUYS! TODAY MARKS TWO WEEKS UNTIL IGNITE RELEASES! THAT MEANS THIS ENTIRE POST IT GOING TO BE IN ALL-CAPS! Not really, but there will be a looooot of fangirling and squealing and confetti-throwing. Why? Because this is by far the BEST superhero book I've ever read. (Technically, it's the only one, but the point remains.) So, yeah, maybe Jenna is one of my good friends...but that doesn't mean she isn't also a FANTABULOUS author!!!! Y'all do remember t

Cover Reveal: Ignite by Jenna Terese

Usually, it takes me fifteen minutes to get a post together. Upload my pics and graphics. Copy and paste imperative information. Schedule a day or week or month ahead. Sit there and look cute. (Unless it's a long post, in which cause it'll probably take me anywhere between two hours and two weeks to write.) Not so with this post. I have had a time, let me tell you, and I nearly missed the cutoff to share with you one of the most GORGEOUS book covers in the history of book cov
