Cover Reveal for Picture This by Jayne Denker
Cover reveal time!!! But first a little bit about the book:
PICTURE THIS (A Marsden Novel #2)
Blurb:
It’s where everyone knows your business—and remembers everything you’d rather forget. But somehow the little Catskills town of Marsden draws the most unlikely people back home, turns their lives every which way, and helps them finally figure out what—and who—they want most…
As a celebrity photographer’s assistant, Celia Marshall is used to seeing all kinds of weird antics. But subbing as the model in irrepressible movie star Niall Crenshaw’s latest endorsement ad—while wearing his silk boxers, no less—is definitely not in her job description. Neither is falling for him, especially since he’s dating his latest co-star. To complicate things further, Celia is returning to Marsden to keep an eye on her eccentric grandmother—and Niall is driving her there, then staying to judge a talent contest…
Soon Celia is pulled in a dozen different directions, trying to get her grandmother to act her age, placating her frantic former boss who’s organizing the contest—and attempting to stay away from funny, sexy Niall. Celia’s always been level headed, but suddenly she’s wishing she could get reckless right along with him. Has the time come for sensible Celia to cut loose?...
Bio:
Jayne Denker divides her time between working hard to bring the funny in her romantic comedies and raising a young son who's way too clever for his own good. She lives in a small village in western New York that is in no way, shape, or form related to the small village in her Marsden novels Down on Love and Picture This. When she's not hard at work on another novel, the social media addict can usually be found frittering away startling amounts of time on Facebook (Jayne Denker Author) and Twitter (@JDenkerAuthor).

Cover Reveal for Cassie Mae's The Real Thing! I so love this book!
So, this book... it's about this girl.
And she loves her online time.
Her phone is her buddy.
And her favorite app is her Kindle, because she also LOVES to read.
Read a lot.
Then there's this boy.
He's best friends with this bookworm girl.
He sort of has a thing for her.
But, he's also got major anxiety.
And isn't sure how to make a move.
So when they end up rooming together for the summer, this guy tries to get this girl to put the screen away long enough for him to win her over.
But of course, it's not easy to unplug. Especially for an internet junkie.
Hmm... that girl sounds pretty familiar ;)
And here's the hawt cover for it!
And here's the actual blurb, and not my picture version :)
Eric Matua has one friend—his best friend and childhood sweetheart, who needs a place to stay for the summer. Mia Johnson has thousands of friends—who live in her computer. Along with her email chats and Facebook notifications, Mia also devours romance novels, spending countless hours with fictional characters, dreaming of her own Romeo to sweep her off her feet. When she starts receiving supersweet messages from a stranger who thinks she’s someone else, Mia begins to believe that real love is possible outside her virtual world.
When the two friends become roommates, Mia finds herself falling harder than she ever thought she could. But Eric keeps his desires locked away, unsure of himself and his ability to give his best friend what she deserves in a boyfriend. As her advances are continually spurned, Mia splits her time between Eric and her computer. But she soon realizes she’s about to lose the only real thing she’s ever had.
About Cassie Mae :)
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 Bestsellers REASONS I FELL FOR THE FUNNY FAT FRIEND and HOW TO DATE A NERD, and is the debut author for the Random House FLIRT line with her New Adult novels FRIDAY NIGHT ALIBI and SWITCHED. 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.

Vote for your favorite cover for Rachel Schieffelbein's Don't Fall!
Don't Fall
Release Date: 2014
Swoon Romance
Summary from Goodreads::
In which a teenage girl endures the over-protective love of her adoptive
mother until she falls for a boy who has her wanting to spread her wings,
pitched as a contemporary retelling of RAPUNZEL.
Seventeen-year-old Anya leads a very secluded life in a house on the edge of town with her adopted mother. She doesn't go to school, but instead has a private tutor. Her over-protective mom keeps her so sheltered that she doesn't even have a best friend.
But Anya doesn't seem to mind. She has her books, her photography, and her daydreams, and would do anything to please her mom. Until one day at the library, the only place she's allowed to go, she takes a picture of a beautiful boy.
Before long she's lying to her mom, and sneaking out late at night to meet Zander. But Zander wants more than a secret romance. If Anya wants to be with the boy of her dreams, she will have to risk her relationship with the only other person she's ever cared about.

Cover Reveal for Over the Ocean!
Today is the cover reveal for Over the Ocean by the very talented Georgia St. Mane (aka Rachel Schieffelbein)
First a little something about the book:
When Bree meets Logan, and hears his oh-so-sexy British accent, it's lust at first sight.
Bree thinks Logan feels the same way, especially when they're snuggled up on her couch with his tongue down her throat. But when Logan decides that getting into a relationship when he only has a few months left in the States is a bad idea, Bree agrees to be "just friends."
But every time he flashes his swoon-worthy smile, complete with dimples, Bree has a hard time keeping her thoughts in the "friend zone."

My Writing Process Blog Tour
Thank you to the awesome Juliette Cross for inviting me to participate in the Writing Process Blog Tour! Juliette is my agent sister and you can check out her post here.
A little bit about Juliette:
Now let's get started!
My Writing Process.
What am I working on?
I think the question should be what am I not working on? I just finished edits on (Once) Again the next book in the Again series that will be out in June with Berkley Penguin. I'm also working on final edits for Beach Side Beds and Sandy Paths the sequel to King Sized Beds and Happy Trails that I wrote with the amazing and talented Cassie Mae. Cassie and I are also working on the prequel that will release between Beach Side Beds and the third book Lonesome Beds and Bumpy Roads. I'm also working on two other New Adult contemporary novels, a YA contemporary novel and rewriting another YA contemporary novel I had shelved. Oh and a YA novel about witches. I'm not happy unless I have a million things going on!
How does my work differ from others of its genre?
Oh! That's a good question. I don't write to trend. I try to avoid it and just write the story the way I feel it needs to be told. A lot of people think New Adult is sexed up YA and it's not. It's a time in your life where you are on your own for the first time, where decisions you make can have a bigger impact on your future, and a time when you can explore your options. I try to focus on those aspects of the story and not just the sexy time. Though my books do have sex in them, but I don't write those scenes just to write them in. It has to work with the story and the characters.
Also whether I'm writing NA or YA I try to keep it as realistic as possible. My characters are never perfect. They have flaws because I have never met a single person who doesn't.
Why do I write what I do?
That's easy. I don't want to admit I'm nearing thirty. I can stay in my teens through the characters I write. They were the best years of my life, so why wouldn't I want to write about it?
How does your writing process work?
There is no rhyme or reason to my writing process. It's utter madness actually, but I always say there is a method to my madness because somehow I make it work. Most of the time I'm a pantser, but there are times where I plot. I usually need tea, coffee or wine, depending on what time of day it is. Sometimes a snack usually Cheez-its or Tostitos and I just go with it. I like to do writing sprints with my critique partners because then I can't make excuses for not sitting down and getting the words on the screen.
Once I get a first draft completed, I send it out to a few CP's and my mom, get their feedback, make revisions and then send it out to another round of CP's. I also have beta readers I send to after all revisions to make sure nothing was missed. That's about it.
