Chosen Playlist Reveal: #1

Holy chips and guacamole. (Has anyone caught on to realizing that is what Gracie says in the Flightless Bird series?) Has this month been busy or what?

As you may know, the always lovely author Michelle Nicole hosted me on her blog as Indie Author of the Month and it was such a blast and might I add that Damon had a great time doing the interview. He always loves the spotlight. So a HUGE-O thank you to Michelle for being amazing and for having me on her blog for the month. Sending you a really big bear hug penpal!! (Seriously everyone, she is the best!)

I know I've been absent for the most part but it's because I've been writing Chosen! I know how all of you are so excited for this one and believe me, I'm just as excited. I've secured myself in the writing cave and have been deep into the story. As usual pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into every page to make it as awesome as it can be. Hopefully when it gets closer to its release date I might release an excerpt or two. Just know that this one is non-stop action, I swear. It's like a crazy rollar coaster! It will be interesting to see what my editor thinks, I can't wait to send it to her because once I do, that means it's only one step closer to publication! Woohoo! My editor is fan-tas-tic so I'm sure she'll help make it better as she wipes out the typos my eyes miss as I write.

Some of you may be wondering, or not wondering, where Adrienne has gone throughout this entire process. No worries, the always epic Adrienne is still here! She's just being awesome and doing her thing. In fact she's working on the new Flightless Bird cover AND the cover for Timeless Sky. I haven't seen either yet so it will be a surprise...I can't wait to see what she comes up with! As usual she's a genius.

Alright, the point of this post is that I was going to reveal a song that is on the Chosen playlist. I know I don't typically release the playlist until the book is closer to release but I wanted to reveal a song for you all and will be revealing more songs as the weeks go by. Now you have to know that the songs that made it on the playlist are highly exclusive and I put them on this playlist for a reason, either they were a huge inspiration or they have meaning to the story. Music is a big part of this book, considering the main character is in a rock band after all.

Here's one of the songs from the playlist! 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons.


Now I'm sure some of you are thinking about how this might relate. I'll keep you guessing! I thought it best to post an epic song for what I consider to be an epic story!

Chosen Cover Reveal!

FINALLY! THAT DAY IS HERE! Yes, the day I know all you readers, bloggers, and friends have been waiting to see! My newest book, Chosen, is finally being unveiled!! Well, at least its cover is. I have been so freaking excited to show this cover that right now as I write this post, my face is a little exhausted from smiling so big! Today is going to be a freaking awesome day!

Not to mention its Friday. TGIF right?

So without further hesitation, I am happy to unveil my newest book cover for my newest book! Say hello to Chosen!

Chosen
(Book 1 in the Fighting Fate series)
 


Nothing can stand in the way of outspoken, rule-breaker-extraordinaire, Kaddy Richston…except destiny. Born with wildly colored hair and piercing gray eyes Kaddy knew she was different, but she set her sights on her ambitious dreams of being in a rock band and leaving her small town behind along with the painful memories of her past.
 
But destiny has other plans for her.
 
When the calm, cool, and always collected Cole Huntington enters her life he takes a strange interest in her, his striking blue eyes never wandering far from her every move. Despite her efforts to push him away, he plans on unraveling every single one of Kaddy’s dark secrets even though he has some of his own.
 
Despising each other from the start, Kaddy is determined to undermine whatever intentions he has until she learns of a destiny she never asked for. The fate of the world lies in her hands as she learns how different she really is. The only person she can turn to for answers is the last person she’d want help from: Cole Huntington who seems to dislike her rule-breaking as much as she dislikes his rule-following.
 
Sometimes destiny sucks.


Release date: Spring 2013-March/April
 
Genre: Mature Young Adult/New Adult Paranormal Romance (Recommended for 17+ due to strong language and mature themes)
 
Holy chips and guacamole! As the always endearing Gracie from my Flightless Bird series would say. Now is that an awesome cover or what?! A big thank you goes out to my cover designer who put this together and to all the bloggers and everyone who posted about the big cover reveal today! Seriously, sending high-fives and hugs to you all!

EEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!! Excuse my momentary girly squeal as I celebrate this momentous moment! Today is a really great day. Seriously. Even my cat agrees that yes this today is amazing! Though he may not be as excited about the cover as I am but he's happy nonetheless only because he got his favorite kitty snacks in honor of this celebration.
