Cover Reveal: Eight Birds of Christmas by Tara Mayoros

We are very excited to welcome Author Tara Mayoros to our blog today! She has a brand new Christmas novella coming out soon, but with a cover this fantastic, it deserves a little bit of a celebration today!

First let me introduce you to Tara

As a child, Tara Mayoros moved to Asia with her family where her love of different cultures and travel began. In college she satisfied her wanderlust by moving to China, filling her head with countless stories, and occasionally writing them down.

Years, marriage, children and many adventures later, she picked up her dusty pen and paper (or laptop) and realized that writing took her to different worlds and gave her the experiences that she yearned for. As an author, artist, baker, music teacher, gardner, and nature lover – she sees the beauty in the process, and the miracle, of creation. The Rocky Mountains are her home and they call to her whenever she finds herself in need of inspiration.

Now for a little information about this brand new book coming out...

In the Christmas novella Eight Birds for Christmas, a Holiday funeral sends Laidan into a dormancy of sadness. Holed up in her mother's lake house with her best friend and her bodyguard, birds appear one by one as gifts that help her through a time of grieving. Each birds carries with it a word and a hope that things will begin to look up.

Hurt from the realization that the rock star life Laidan led had made her selfish, the birds reveal forgotten memories and glimpses into how she can become a better person. It will take confronting her past to make peace with her future. By taking to heart the gifts the birds bring, Laidan begins to realize the true meaning of Christmas and that there are other ways that she can share her song.

Are you ready for this?

Hope you are ready for a huge rush of holiday spirit,

because here it is......

Book Tour: Fortune for Fools by Cindy Christiansen

I've read several of Cindy Christiansen's books before, and I'm a huge fan! I'm hoping to get a chance to start reading this one very soon! All of her books are full of fun, whitty, characters that take you through plots that keep you guessing the whole way! My personal favorite book of Cindy's so far, is Caskets and Corruption.

SO GOOD!!!!

Book blurb:

Risk-taker Zeke Abberley knows how to be bold when it comes to his antique shop on Merchant Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. He successfully bid on a collection of 1800s antiques in Nauvoo, Illinois that may contain a valuable Hayez painting. However, love is another matter. Afraid that all women are users, he’s always injuring his dates, particularly Lavinia Vega, who works at her father’s art gallery.

Studious Lavinia Vega is tired of proving to Zeke that she has no ulterior motives. When Zeke brings her a damaged painting to restore and authenticate, she is eager to help but not get involved. When she uncovers a hidden map behind the painting that leads to valuable buried coins, the game plan changes. Or so Zeke thinks.

Author Bio:

Cindy A. Christiansen writes sweet romance with humor, suspense...and dogs! She's the mother of two awesome boys who just happen to be autistic. Dogs have helped her through multiple health issues so she honors them in her books and donates both time and money to help them. She lives with her wonderful family and delightful dogs in West Jordan, UT. Fly into a good book at: http://dragonflyromance.com!

Snippet:

“Want to stab me in the other eye? You’ve already stabbed me in the heart,” Zeke said, getting to his feet with his hand still covering his eye. “I-I-I’ll talk to you later. Right now, I need a doctor…or an ophthalmologist…or a boatload of Percocet.”

Cover Reveal: Cutlass by Ashley Nixon

I am so-o-o-o excited about this new cover!!!

I loved the original one she had for this book, and when I found out that she was needing a new cover reveal, I found it hard to believe that she could top it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I was wrong.

The new cover is absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Author Ashley Nixon held a launch party about a month ago to show off her new book.

Here is the old cover:

Pretty amazing right? It looks even better in person!

For those of you who missed the launch party, here is what this book is about.

Synopsis:

Notorious pirate Barren Reed has one thing on his mind: Revenge against the man who killed his father. So kidnapping his enemy's fiancé seems a perfect plan…until he actually does it.

Larkin Lee is more than a pretty face and fiancé to a powerful man. Her fierce personality is enough to make any pirate want to push her overboard.

But when the King of the Orient comes to Barren with a task—to find the Bloodstone, a powerful gem thought only to exist in legend, Barren sees another opportunity to destroy his enemy. Together, Barren, Larkin and a crew of pirates set off to find the stone, only to discover it caused the death of Barren’s own mother and Larkin’s, too. As his strongest allies turn into his greatest enemies, and the life of the girl he kidnapped becomes more important than he ever dreamed, Barren’s quest for revenge becomes a fight to save the Orient.

Ashley is amazing! Let me introduce you to her:

Author Bio:

Ashley was born and raised in Oklahoma, where the wind really does sweep down the plains, and horses and carriages aren't used as much as she'd like. She has a Bachelor's in English Writing and a Master's in Library Science and Information Technology. When she's not writing she's either working out or pretending she's Sherlock Holmes. Her obsession with writing began after reading the Lord of the Rings in the eighth grade. Since then, she's loved everything Fantasy--resulting in an unhealthy obsession with the 'geek' tab on Pinterest, where all things awesome go.

Ok, are you ready to see the new cover?

It's pretty amazing, you are sitting down right?

Here it is!!!!

What do you think??? I absolutely adore it!!
