Dear Alison and friends,
Have I got a surprise for you!!! Well, I should say I have SEVERAL surprises...First, Lori Ann Palma from Eastern PA SCBWI chapter interviewed me for the upcoming 25th annual Pocono Retreat. Here's a quick excerpt from the interview:
If you’ve been enjoying our series of author interviews, then you’ll definitely want to read on for my one-on-one with our very own Kim Briggs! Kim is often behind the scenes working her magic for the SCBWI Eastern PA chapter, but today she’s answering my questions about writing, time management, and her path to publication.
To read more... (but then come back because I've got TWO more surprises.)
I've got not one, but two exciting events going on from Inkspell Publishing Authors. A Cover Reveal for Enchanter (The Giver of Life Trilogy #1) by Kristy Centeno and Book Release Day for Love Song by K.G. Fletcher. I read Kristy Centeno's Deliverance and LOVED it. The doctor reminds me of a certain person in power--eeringly similar. I read K.G. Fletcher's Unexpected last winter and it helped me get through a subzero stretch of January feeling all warm and fuzzy, and the biggest twist of the book caught me by surprise.

Blurb:
They
have a past. But will they have a future?
Leah Parker is resilient and hardworking. She’d
always prided herself in maintaining a level head, even under pressure.
Everything changes when she begins to see strange apparitions and hear ghostly
voices on the morning of her birthday.
In a blink of the eyes, Leah’s life takes a drastic
turn that spirals her into the unknown. Something is out to get her, but she’s unsure
if she’s losing her mind, or the faces and demands of the dead are real. Unable
to find the answers she needs, she has no choice but to rely on ex-best friend,
Brandon Morris, for help.
But as she will soon discover, Brandon has his own
secrets. Some of which defy logic and only add to the mystery surrounding Leah.
And mix feelings between the two complicate matters by getting in the way of
what they really want, and what they must do.
Can Brandon lighten the load on her by figuring out
what or who wants her dead? Or will their past history get in the way of the
storm brewing just beyond Leah’s grasp?
Enchanter Excerpt:
“Are you scared of me? Is that it?” As if to make a
point, he covered the distance between us in three short steps, and backed me
off into the landing to the stairwell behind me, stopping only when our bodies
were a few inches from coming into physical contact. The invigorating scent of
his cologne invaded my nostrils, causing my mind to go into total and complete
turmoil.
I shut down, unsure how to react. I hadn’t
anticipated being cornered in a vulnerable spot where we were shielded from
view. Normally, I was a sucker for guys who smelled as good as he did, but this
was Brandon Morris. I couldn’t decide whether to lean closer and inhale slowly,
or scream and push him away.
“Are you?”
I wanted to deny his accusation, but he could see the
truth in my eyes. It was pointless to pretend as if he hadn’t just sent my
heart into a race. By then he could see how badly I shook. I could not disguise
it fast enough for him not to notice.
“Should I be?” I asked softly, fear forcing my voice
to quake.
About Kristy:
Kristy Centeno is the author of the Secrets of the
Moon saga and Keeper Witches series.
She has always had a passion for books and after
years of being an avid reader, she decided to transform her desire to write
into a reality and thus, her first novel was born. When she’s not busy taking
care of her five children or holding down the fort, she finds time to sit and
do what she loves the most: writing.
I can't wait to start that series...I've got a series addiction that I don't intend to kick.
Next up, K.G. Fletcher's Book Release of Love Song
Love Song

Blurb:
Her heart searched for
a melody. Will the love song she finally hears be loud enough to drown out the
screaming memories of her past?
Back-up singer Casey lived the old anthem, “work hard, play
harder.” When she meets handsome sub-drummer, Sam Wildner on a gig, their
attraction is immediate. The two musicians forge ahead in a dizzy rhythm of
passion and music, both impressed by each other’s harmonious abilities. When
Sam learns of Casey’s family trauma involving her sister’s abusive
ex-boyfriend, he commits to being there for her and her young niece who is
caught in the middle.
The melody of their love song rings loudly in Casey’s ears
as she and Sam navigate the precarious fast lane of jealousy, murder and rock
‘n roll.
Love Song Excerpt
Casey stared at her reflection in the hotel bathroom in
disbelief. Her false eyelashes from the show the night before clung haphazardly
to her eyelids, looking more like insects than lashes. She pulled them off
quickly, shaking her head in disgust. She covered her face in makeup remover
and started to clean off the heavy show makeup just as her phone pinged with a
text message. Sitting on the toilet lid, she woozily looking at the screen.
“I won…” It was a
message from Sam that included a smiley face emoji.
She immediately texted back. “How did I get to my room? OMG, I’m mortified!”
Her phone rang. She hesitated before answering, not sure if
she was ready to hear about her after-hours escapades. She was disgusted with
herself for letting her drinking get away from her—again. She usually only
drank beer and had no idea why she’d started drinking the hard stuff in front
of her friends. Perhaps she was trying to feel relaxed around Sam, whom she was
genuinely attracted to. And then, of course, he started egging her on in their
little impromptu drinking contest. Why did she play along? What had gotten into
her?
“Hello?” Her voice was raspy and she realized she was dying
of thirst, the very thought of gin making her gag.
“Hey you. How ya feeling darlin’’?” She could tell that Sam
was smiling on the other end.
“Ummm. How do you think I’m feeling?”
He laughed.
“Was I a complete idiot? Did I embarrass you in any way?”
She suddenly felt nauseous thinking about all the drunken scenarios that could
have happened in her vulnerable state. If her overprotective sister knew what
she had done, she’d be livid.
“No. You were a very good girl. A little drunk and quiet,
but very good. Rocky and I helped you back to your room. I hope you don’t mind
that I had to look through your little purse to get out your room key.”
“Oh…. yes, that’s okay. That’s fine.” She fingered the
soiled washcloth in her hand, not sure what to say.
“I have your jacket. You left it in my room—”
“I was in your room?” She started to panic.
