A Sneak Peek at the Cover
By C.L. Beck
It's been forever since I've been part of a blog tour. Mostly because
I don't get moola for it I don't have time. But, today my friend and
co-author, Nichole Giles, is having a blog tour for the cover of her new book,
Descendant. (Release date for
Descendant: May 1, 2013.)
And what kind of friend would I be if I didn't help with that?
Please feel free to leave answers to that question in the comments below ... and keep them nice, or my blogger goblin will eat them for breakfast.
Blogger goblin. No, that would not be the hubster, Russ. It would be the dogster, Corky Porky Pie.
Aside from her prime virtues of being my friend and co-author -- and the fact that she's the talented individual who wrote,
The Sharp Edge of a Knife -- Nichole has some other great qualities:
AUTHOR BIO
Nichole Giles had early career plans of becoming an actress or a rock star, but she decided instead
to have a family and then become a writer. Writing is her passion, but
she also loves to spend time with her husband and children, travel to
tropical and exotic destinations, drive in the rain with the convertible
top down, and play music at full volume so she can sing along.
Now that you know all that, take a peek at Nichole's new book cover for
Descendant:
You're probably wondering if I've read a draft copy of the book. The answer to that is YES!
Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to yell with excitement, but it's a really good book. Nichole is an excellent writer, and if you enjoy YA-paranormal....
No, we're not talking
abnormal. Although, I do know a few abnormal, young adults.
We're talking
paranormal. Which is just a fancy term for events that happen without scientific explanation. You know, like Russ's hair falling out. Or the money in my pocket disappearing without my prior consent.
But in this case, it's neither of those happenings:
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Abigail Johnson is Gifted.
Blessed—or cursed—with Sight and Healing, Abby lives an unsettled life,
moving from place to place and staying one step ahead of the darkness
that hunts her. When she arrives in Jackson, Wyoming, she is desperate
to maintain the illusion of normalcy, but she is plagued with visions of
past lives mixed with frightening glimpses of her future. Then she
meets Kye, a mysterious boy who seems so achingly familiar that Abby is
drawn to him like he’s a missing piece of her own soul.
Before Abby can discover the reason for her feelings toward Kye, the
darkness catches up to her and she is forced to flee again. But this
time she’s not just running. She is fighting back with Kye at her side,
and it’s not just Abby’s life at stake.
So there you have it. And in light of the fact that it's hard for me to find time to blog, that should tell you that the book is good enough -- waaaaay good enough -- for me to take the time and trouble to write about it. Even if I didn't get any moolah for it.
