Let the Festival of Excitement Begin!

Well, it's September 1st, and I can finally tell you my exciting announcements! 

First...Three Daves has a brand a new cover!!!



The truth is, I was never completely in love with the last one.  I thought I was, but it turns out I was just lying to myself.  It did a fine job of conveying the three guys and giving an 80s feel, but it was missing femininity and didn't quite capture the fun atmosphere of the story.  Months and months after the book came out, I was hit with cover-remorse, and this is one of the reasons I'm so happy to be with a small publisher---they listened, they understood, and they designed an awesome new cover!  Ah, but don't worry about  the boys---they're very happy in their new position on the back:

Second...the Three Daves  
Kindle*, Nook, eBook, and ePack are 
only 99 cents all month!
(* as of post time Amazon doesn't quite have their act together and is still showing the OLD cover.  To be safe, if you want the new cover for sure, I'd hold off on buying the Kindle until the new cover is showing on the Amazon site.  Stupid Amazon.  Thanks for the tip, Fabulosity)

Third...to celebrate I'm throwing a Blog Blitz!

All month long, I'll be skipping around the blogosphere to do guest posts and have some fun with gracious hosts, including three Jens to each host a Dave!  Along the way you'll be subjected to an 80s Hair Band quiz, one-liners, and me coming clean on a few matters.  As soon as I get my act together, I'll post the schedule and links on my sidebar.  In the meantime, check out this brand new weekly blog hop for authors!  You can get more details at the Omnific Publishing blog. 




Okay, can I take a breath now?

I love it, very pretty. I was very fortunate to fall in love with my covers straight away but I know that doesn't happen for everyone. I think covers are like shoes. You either fall in love with them at first sight or not. If you don't, you can learn to get comfortable in them but won't want to wear them every day. :-)

Great shoe analogy, Carol, especially since the new cover features a shoe! I LOVE the cover. Hot pink is awesome, and her footwear is oh so 80's. I'm really looking forward to hosting a Dave during your blog blitz!

Readers, check out this book--you'll love it.

I read the blurb the last time but it never actually sank in that there's a girl in there because of those shoes. This is sooo exciting. This cover's perfect.

Nicki, I like the new cover, too. I'm kind of wishing I'd waited to buy the book with that one. ;)

Not, as you say, that the first cover wasn't a good one, too, because it was.

I actually love both covers but for different reasons.

BTW, I read THREE DAVES last week. And I loved it!! I recognized so much of the setting. And I posted my glowing review on Goodreads but it got eaten up by the Goodreads Trolls last week, when they were having so many techy problems. I need to repost.

Cool cover; but I did like the origina, and I'm not lying to myself :) Glad you kept it on the back at least.

I'm looking forward to the blog tour.

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

Image
We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
