Switched- Cover Reveal!

I'm back from a wonderful two week trip around Colorado and Utah and I think I'm finally in the right mind set to blog regularly again. Yay! Wednesday, I'll give you a peek into some of the crazy things we did on vacation.

I'm jumping back in by helping out one of the sweetest bloggers I know.  Aside from being a very talented author, she's always ready to lend a helping hand and a cheerful comment to her fellow bloggers.  

SO without further ado here is the long awaited cover reveal for Cassie Mae's newest book, 

SWITCHED

coming out December 30th!

Hot guy alert!

Cassie Mae redefines the New Adult genre with a novel that answers the eternal question: What do you do when you’re head-over-heels for your best friend’s guy?

Ever since high school, Kayla has been crazy for gorgeous football player Talon. But before she could muster the courage to tell him, he became a hot item with her beautiful BFF, Reagan. The only person who knows Kayla’s secret is Wesley, Talon’s best bud—and he’s got it bad for Reagan. Now they’re all in college together, hanging out 24/7. For Kayla, seeing the two lovebirds together is absolutely unbearable. So Kayla and Wesley hatch a plot to drive them apart. But time is ticking and they must act now, before Talon gives Reagan the Christmas gift she’s been waiting for.

Sure enough, the once-happy couple is fighting, Reagan suddenly can’t get enough of Wesley’s goofy sense of humor, and Talon seems to be paying more attention to Kayla than a guy who’s “just a friend” ever should. But something just isn’t right. Then Kayla and Wesley accidentally spend a night together, and discover a hitch they never considered: that switching partners may not lead to a perfect ending after all.

What Cassie Mae has to say about her cover: "Okay, I love all my covers. But that guy, I can't stop looking at him. The girl is a perfect replica of Kayla too. So this makes me a happy pappy author"

Here's the link to purchase directly from Random House: Switched

Cassie Mae is a nerd to the core from Utah, who likes to write about other nerds who find love. She’s the author of the Amazon Bestseller REASONS I FELL FOR THE FUNNY FAT FRIEND, and is the debut author for the Random House FLIRT line with her New Adult novels FRIDAY NIGHT ALIBI and SWITCHED. She also has a three book deal with Swoon Romance Publishing, including her book HOW TO DATE A NERD. She spends time with her angel children and perfect husband who fan her and feed her grapes while she clacks away on the keyboard. Then she wakes up from that dream world and manages to get a few words on the computer while the house explodes around her. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with the youth in her community as a volleyball and basketball coach, or searching the house desperately for chocolate.

You can find Cassie Mae's blog here.

Congratulations Cassie Mae!  Hope it sells like crazy!  I can't wait to read it!

I'd love to hear what you've all been up to in my absence! :)

I'm Hearing Voices--Emotion!

Today is the last day of the I'm Hearing Voices Character Blogfest hosted by Cassie Mae and Angela Cothran.  It has been lots of fun reading what everyone else has written.  It's also been quite challenging to create pieces I'm satisfied with.  Today's challenge was to write an emotion in 250 words or less.


I hope I was successful.  Here is mine (at the end I'll let you know what emotion I was going for):



"Would you stop that!  You're making too much noise!"  Elodym says in a loud whisper.  "They're bound to hear us."  Ryn continues tinkering with something.  "Hey, I'm talking to you!" She nudges him in the shoulder with her fist.


He looks up as if waking from a dream.  "What was that for?" He asks rubbing his shoulder.


"You're being too loud!"


"You're the one talking!"  He fires back.


"I don't understand why we're waiting here in the middle of the forest.  We should be out there helping.  Instead I'm stuck here with you.  It's so stupid.  We're wasting our time!"  She throws her arms up in the air and paces like a caged lion.


"Hey it's not like this is my favorite assignment either sweetheart.  But we follow orders and both Shen and Nakyte want us here."


 "What are you doing with this thing anyway? It looks like a piece of junk." Elodym grabs the contraption he is working on and it breaks into a hundred tiny pieces.  Her mouth drops open.


"OHH come on!  What did you do?  You ruined it!"  Ryn says.  He fights to keep his voice low.


"I didn't do anything!  And SHHHHH!"  She bends down to pick up the pieces but he bats her hand away.


"Stop that!  Don't touch anything.  Go over there and be the lookout.  We're supposed to be watching to see if there is movement in the camp."


"Well if anyone is around, they surely have heard all of your racket!"



I hope you were able to guess the emotion was annoyance or frustration.  If not let me know what you did think.  I'm looking forward to read what you guys all came up with for this one.
