    Wow, what a line-up! THE SIX GUN TAROT sounds intriguing to me and Samuel McCord, of course! :-) The covers are stunning.

      It does, doesn't it? And it definitely seems like something Sam would enjoy. ;)

      Thanks Linda! It dawned on me that I don't know many adult fantasy authors and I want to change that!

    The Daedalus Incident and The Kassa Gambit sound really interesting, I have to see if they can be found at the library yet. :D

    Awesome that you'll be spotlighting debut fantasy writers. Wish I had time to read adult fantasy because I love fantasy.

    I'd love to be interviewed. My debut adult fantasy, Sorrow's Point is coming out in July. (My debut YA book is coming out later this month, so I guess I'll be debut only in adult fantasy?)

Banned Books Week Hop And Giveaway

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, The House of Night novels by P.C. Cast, The Golden Compass novels by Philip Pullman, and the Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead. There are so many more that it saddens me to go on. I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde...

The Secret of Spruce Knoll Cover Reveal

Though I have a fun creature feature ready for today, I thought you might not mind if I postponed it to next week since I have great news. The cover for The Secret of Spruce Knoll has been finalized and approved! I'm so excited that I just couldn't wait to share it with you peeps. When I received it yesterday there were tears, but very good tears. The wonderful designers at Abbott did an outstanding job of capturing the essence of my character, the nature of the novel, and making it look breathtaking. I'll quit rambling and show you (that is if you didn't already scroll down, which I wouldn't blame you for because I would have ;)! Now you know why I cried tears of joy! There is so much more though, the wrap around and back cover are amazing as well and I wish I could share those with you but I can't just yet. Trust me though, the complete cover is to die for! You won't have to take my word for it for long because in another week you'll be able to hol...
