Cover Reveal ~ The Fallen Stars!


Are you ready for a little WOW factor?
 
Today I have the absolute pleasure of revealing the FABulous cover for:~
 
The Fallen Stars
~ by Stephanie Keyes
 
"Imaginative and fast-paced. Couldn't put it down!" - E.G. Foley, New York Times Bestselling author of The Gryphon Chronicles
 
"This well-written and intriguing fantasy was a delight to read. I can't wait to read the second novel in this series!" - Linn B. Halton, author Never Alone on The Star Child by Stephanie Keyes
 
When all is lost, he will have to make the ultimate decision.
 
Kellen St. James was just your average seventeen-year-old prodigy, until he eighty-sixed the Lord of Faerie and proposed to a Celtic goddess. Now everything in Kellen’s life gets turned upside-down when Calienta, Kellen, and friend, Gabriel Stewart, find themselves on the run from a seriously irritated group of faeries. The worst part? They have zero idea why.

Suddenly, Kellen finds himself stuck in the middle of another prophecy that questions everything about him including where his loyalties lie. Plus, Calienta’s more than a bit different; she’s making choices that he doesn’t understand. And Gabe, his best friend? He’s started doing all sorts of freaky things that make Kellen question who he really is.

Kellen and Calienta will fight to stay together and keep the hidden part of the prophecy from becoming reality.

When the ultimate power is within reach, which side will he choose?

 
Release Date: 12-April-2013, Genre: YA Paranormal Romance


Sounds good? If you liked Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, Need by Carrie Jones, or Fallen by Lauren Kate, you will love this book!

I’ve been awarded the Very Inspiring Blogger Award!


Thank you so much to Melanie Robertson-King for awarding me the Very Inspiring Blog Award!
Henceforth, I will strive to be just that, VERY inspiring! Before I pass the award on to seven other worthy bloggers, I have to provide seven random facts about me. Hmm? OK, here goes:

1.    I once spotted Timothy Spall while out boating.  No, proud to say, I didn’t hound him to pose with me for a pic. Instead I had a chat to his lovely wife.

 
2.    I like boating. Surprise, surprise. Sinking, not so much. However, as the boat went down, I selflessly saved … the Chablis!! Yay!

 
3.    I abseiled down a rock-face by way of research for my upcoming book, appropriately entitled A Little Bit of Madness.

 
4.    I’m passionately in love – with my dog, Snoops (I might have mentioned this before).
 
 
5.    I once deep-sea dived. The ballast wasn’t weighty enough to hold me down. Glug, glug.

 
6.    I installed a new shower! Yes, it still works.

 
7.    I like to sculpt and paint.  
 

Right, I’m passing the award on to the following hard-working, talented and uber-supportive people:
Carol E Wyer - Facing 50 with humour

Jontybabe JB Johnston – It’s a crazy world!
Linn B Halton  - Life, love and beyond…

Lindsay Healy  - The Little Reader Library

Carol Hedges  - Carol Hedges Blogspot
Sharon Goodwin – Fiction Addiction Blog Tours

 
Stay safe. Be Happy!

Book Tour ~ A Little Bit of Madness


Blog Tours

Anyone who has read any my previous books would know I like to write romantic comedy, hoping to leave the reader with that all-important feel good factor.
I do, however, like to write about real people, dealing with real life events that readers can relate to. Bearing in mind changing population demographics, in A Little bit of Madness therefore, I aimed for a multigenerational read. Alongside my hunky but flawed hero and my feisty yet vulnerable heroine, I’ve starred a cast of people of the Queen’s generation, or as Celia – our heroine – prefers to call them, her elderly independents.

Now their home is under threat and Celia will go to any lengths to save it – even leaping from a church steeple to bring media attention to the plight of her old people.  Will hunky hero PC Alex Burrows be her White Knight in Blue and ride to her rescue when it all goes horribly wrong? Can he be trusted? Can Celia trust her heart?

This Fabulous, funny, heart-breaking story of love, hope and betrayal has already had one reviewer ‘hot and bothered’ and ‘laughing hard’! Now it’s over to the reader. Ooh, I do hope you enjoy ~

A Little Bit of Madness!
