Reality vs. the Imp

We had our launch meeting with Flux this past week.  It was exciting and scary all at the same time. I mean, I wrote the book, and my fantastic agent sold it.  I saw the PM announcement, attached the publication date to my social networks, and squealed to the high heavens about it.  But somehow, in the back of my mind, a little imp refused to let me fully process that it was real...that I was actually really going to be published.

It was the launch meeting and the tossing back and forth of cover ideas that finally solidified everything for me, made me consciously realize that this. Is. Really. Happening!  So as I wait for final copy edits, I thought I would share the one piece of that has been set in stoned.

LEAVING EDEN has a new title...Wait for it..wait for it...

Simplistically perfect I think!

The Rare Few

Every once in a while I meet a writer who is so generous and so talented that I find myself insanely excited for every little milestone they hit. Marci is one of those rare few, so rare that I sat glued to my computer last night hitting the refresh button just so I could see her PM announcement the second it posted. If you are not familiar with her, trust me, you want to be. Her writing will make you laugh and cry all in the same breath.

 Enough of my rambling, here is the PM announcement I waited all night to see!

Today I'm happy to be a part of the cover reveal and sneak peek blog hop for Mary Waibel's novel, Charmed Memories, the second book in the Princess of Valendria series. Here is the lovely cover, designed by the talented Marion Sipe.

Blurb:

Prince Trevor has always placed duty to his kingdom above the desires of his own heart. But when his betrothed is lost at sea, he finds himself torn between honor and love.

After four years of searching for the missing princess, he begins to secretly long for Lady Bri, the Woodland Guide he works with each day. But the law says he must marry a princess, and Bri is barely a noble.

When Trevor learns that Bri was shipwrecked at the same time and place as the princess, he begins to believe he has finally found his bride-to-be. But his happiness is

short-lived. Bri has no memory of her past, and the princess wasn't the only girl who disappeared from the ship.

Desperate to prove Bri is his princess, Trevor unwittingly places the two of them

in grave danger. Buried in Bri's memories are deadly secrets someone wants kept

from the light of day, and learning who she is may cost more than either is willing to

pay.

Sneak Peek:

Prologue

He peered in through the small window, watching the princess and her friend.

Elsbeth was a spoiled brat who stood between him and the throne. She had her father

wrapped around her finger, and the poor fool didn’t know it.

Charmed Memories is releasing this Friday, August 9th. More details are available at http://marywaibel.blogspot.com
