True Storm Cover Reveal Banner

I really enjoyed both the previous books in this YA trilogy, True Born and True North, so I’ve been eagerly anticipating the third book. Unfortunately it’s not coming out until May 1st, and I don’t have a premise for you, but I do have the striking cover to reveal!

TrueStorm_500

Is that striking or what? All the covers in this series have been gorgeous, but I think this is my favorite, probably due to those gorgeous purple undertones. So, anyone who’s already a fan of the previous two books, mark your calendars for May 1st. And if you’re new to this trilogy, you have plenty of time to catch up.

 

img_0431 L.E. Sterling had an early obsession with sci-fi, fantasy and romance to which she remained faithful even through an M.A. in Creative Writing and a PhD in English Literature—where she completed a thesis on magical representation. She is the author of two previous novels, the cult hit YA novel The Originals (under pen name L.E. Vollick), dubbed “the Catcher in the Rye” of a new generation” by one reviewer, and the urban fantasy Pluto’s Gate. Originally hailing from Parry Sound, Ontario, L.E. spent most of her summers roaming across Canada in a van with her father, a hippie musician, her brothers and an occasional stray mutt—inspiring her writing career. She currently lives in Ontario, Canada.

Cover Reveal: The Wendy, by Erin Michelle Sky & Steven Brown

Cover Reveal, Erin Michelle Sky, Steven Brown, The Wendy

Happy 2018 Everyone! While you’re all recovering from last night’s festivities, I’d like to unveil the cover of The Wendy, which is coming out January 16th! Are you ready? Tada!

The-Wendy-HC-Jacket-121217

How gorgeous is this cover? I’d love to have this blown up as a poster to frame! And if that doesn’t tempt you into putting this on your Must Read list, take a look at the synopsis:

THE WRONG KIND OF HERO

“Girls can’t be in the navy! Girls take care of babies! You’re so stupid, you don’t know anything!”

London 1783. Wendy Darling is an orphan, living in an  overcrowded almshouse, ridiculed for believing in a future she can never have. More than anything in the world, she wants to be the captain of a ship. But that’s impossible. Isn’t it?

By 1789, she’s sixteen, old enough to be sold into service as a dressmaker or a servant. When she learns the Home Office is accepting a handful of women into its ranks, she jumps at the chance, joining the fight against the most formidable threat England has ever faced. Magic.

But the secret service isn’t exactly what she had hoped. Accompanied by a reimagined cast of the original Peter Pan, Wendy soon discovers that her dreams are as far away as ever, that choosing sides isn’t as simple as she thought, and that the only man who isn’t blinded by her gender…might be her nation’s greatest enemy.

Still unsure? Here’s a peek at the first chapter.

Chapter 1.

By the year 1780, London was bursting at the seams. Almost a million people had been stuffed into every nook and cranny, and a good number of these had no idea where they had come from. Nestled in baskets and swaddled in rags, they had appeared overnight on the doorsteps of almshouses all over the city. Babies. Staring wide-eyed at mystified caretakers, demanding explanations.

But there was none to be had.

This was why Wendy Darling believed in magic. It was the only thing that made sense.

Opinions, however, were divided on the subject.

“Babies don’t come from magic. They come from mothers.”

Mortimer Black was seven and thought he knew everything. He was different from the other children because he arrived with a note. The note gave his name, penned in a woman’s delicate hand, and he lorded it over the rest of them every chance he got. Mortimer knew he had a mother.

“Just because some babies come from mothers doesn’t mean they all do,” Wendy would argue. She was also seven, but she was very logical.

“Yes, they do all,” he would counter. “You’re just jealous because you don’t have a real name.”

“You take that back! Wendy Darling is my real name!”

But she had her doubts.

Mrs. Healey, the caretaker, was fond of the name Wendy and thought her a darling child. “Wendy, darling, fetch me the pitcher please,” she would say. Or, “Wendy, darling, where has little Charlie run off to?”

Wendy secretly thought Mortimer might have a point.

“You’re nobody,” he would tell her, laughing and poking her with a cruel finger. “You’re just a foundling!”

Fortunately, Wendy had an excellent right jab. That usually ended the matter, at least until she was ten. Ten was the year Wendy’s whole life ended before it had even begun.

Okay. Admit it. This sounds jaw-droppingly awesome! If Wendy is this formidable at age seven, I can’t wait to see what she’s like at seventeen! I’ll be reading and reviewing The Wendy in the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime if you’d like to find out more about the book and its two authors: Erin Michelle Sky and Steven Brown, please visit:

Another favorite YA read from last year was True Born, I’ve been looking forward to the second book. While it’s not coming out until April 4th, 2016, here’s the awesome cover and synopsis.

img_0426

Abandoned by her family in Plague-ridden Dominion City, eighteen-year-old Lucy Fox has no choice but to rely upon the kindness of the True Borns, a renegade group of genetically enhanced humans, to save her twin sister, Margot. But Nolan Storm, their mysterious leader, has his own agenda. When Storm backtracks on his promise to rescue Margot, Lucy takes her fate into her own hands and sets off for Russia with her True Born bodyguard and maybe-something-more, the lethal yet beautiful Jared Price. In Russia, there’s been whispered rumors of a Plague Cure.

While Lucy fights her magnetic attraction to Jared, anxious that his loyalty to Storm will hurt her chances of finding her sister, they quickly discover that all is not as it appears…and discovering the secrets contained in the Fox sisters’ blood before they wind up dead is just the beginning??

Sterling had an early obsession with sci-fi, fantasy and romance to which she remained faithful even through an M.A. in Creative Writing and a PhD in English Literature — where she completed a thesis on magical representation. She is the author of two previous novels, the cult hit YA novel The Originals (under pen name L.E. Vollick) dubbed “the Catcher in the Rye of a new generation” by one reviewer, and the urban fantasy Pluto’s Gate.As they say in Dominion, sometimes it’s not you…it’s your DNA.

Originally hailing from Parry Sound, Ontario, L.E. spent most of her summers roaming across Canada with her father, a hippie musician, her brothers and an occasional stray mutt–inspiring her writing career. She currently lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Deceived ~ By Heena Rathore P. – Cover Reveal!

Cover Reveal, Deceived, Heena Rathore P.

 

img_0193

Expected Publication: February 2017

Deceived is the debut novel of our fellow blogger Heena Rathore P!  I’ve been eagerly anticipating this for months, and when I first laid my eyes on the final cover, I’m not ashamed to admit I drooled a bit. I mean look at it! You’ve got these bare dirty legs with blood dripping down one of them, and it looks like she’s in the middle of a forest, which let’s face it, nothing good ever happens when you’re alone in a forest with bare feet, wearing pretty pink toenail polish. And then there’s that tag line:

~ HOW WELL DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR LOVED ONES? ~

If that doesn’t send shivers down your spine check out the blurb:

A girl who’s trying to cope with the murders of her mother and five-year-old brother.

A journalist who is chasing the ghost of a potential serial killer.

A thirteen-year-old girl who slaughters her parents.

And a revenge-driven psychopath who is about to destroy everyone’s lives.

A psychological thriller that weaves its way through the sadistic past of a traumatized child to the snare of dark mysteries of a beloved father.

About The Author:

img_0195

Heena Rathore P. is a 25-year-old full-time novelist, part-time Social Media Strategist, Novel Critique, Book Reviewer and a YouTube Podcaster.

She draws her inspiration from the works of the legendary Stephen King and Sidney Sheldon. She is an introvert, a thinker, a neat freak, a voracious reader and a GSD-lover.

In her free time, she loves watching apocalyptic, thriller and slasher movies and series. She lives in Pune with her beloved husband in a house full of books, music, and love.

She loves creating fictional worlds, but more than that, she loves living in them.
