The Big Reveal, 2015 CG News & Plenty of Blitz's, Memes & a Fest

Hello fellow bloggers!

 

Have you guys checked out The Big Reveal yet? It's hosted by Suzi @ Literary Engineer.

For 8 weeks both Cover Girls, Dani & Jax, will be featured. Learn a few little tidbits about our writing styles, techniques, and resources we use to help us get through the thick of it all.

Also...

In 2015 we are looking to shake things up here at CG. New ideas flow in and out on a daily basis and we think we are weeding our way through them and selecting the more hopeful concepts.

As always, we are still blogging weekly at our individual blogs:

Bouquet of Books
Entertaining Interests

Where we host the Express Yourself meme.

Speaking of memes:

DL Hammons is still hosting the Blog Blitz 2.0 version. He has rebooted the blitz so make sure to resign-up if you haven't already.

And don't forget about Alex J. Cavanaugh's IWSG hosted the first Wednesday of every month.

Hosted by Andrew Leon, Alex J. Cavanaugh, and Matthew MacNish the return of Oh, How I Miss You Blogfest is back.

 

Additionally:

 

Do you have any upcoming news you want to share? Blogfest, bloghop, meme, etc? Please let us know in a comment below or send us an email and we will compile it in a weekly post to help spread the word!

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Kyra Lennon's Nobody Knows cover reveal

Title: Nobody Knows

Author: Kyra Lennon

Genre: NA Romance

Type: First in Series (Razes Hell Book 1)

Cover Design: Najila Qamber Design

Photographer: Lindee Robinson Photography

Release Date: November 3rd 2014

It’s not easy being friends with rising rock stars – especially when you’re the glue that holds them together.

Razes Hell has taken off in the charts, and Ellie can’t believe her childhood friends, Drew and Jason Brooks, are on TV and drawing crowds after years spent playing in dodgy bars. From obscurity to overnight success, Ellie soon realises life in the public eye isn’t all it’s cracked up to be as dark secrets become headline news and old conflicts are re-ignited. When a fake feud meant to boost the band’s popularity threatens to rip the boys apart for real, Ellie finds herself torn – a position which only gets more uncomfortable when her loyalty to Jason collides with her blossoming relationship with Drew.

Nobody knows how deep their issues run; nobody but Ellie. With friendship, a music career and a new love on the line, can Ellie keep their tangled pasts from ruining their futures?

Kyra is a self-confessed book-a-holic, and has been since she first learned to read. When she’s not reading, you’ll usually find her hanging out in coffee shops with her trusty laptop and/or her friends, or girling it up at the nearest shopping mall.

Kyra grew up on the South Coast of England and refuses to move away from the seaside which provides massive inspiration for her novels. Her debut novel, Game On (New Adult Contemporary Romance), was released in July 2012, and she scored her first Amazon Top 20 listing with her New Adult novella, If I Let You Go in November.

JC Reed's The Lover's Game Blog Tour

The Lover's Game

by J.C. Reed

Genre: Mature New Adult/ Adult Contemporary Romance

Recommended for ages 18 and up.
270pp

When love is a game...

After having her heart broken, Brooke tries to rebuild her life and closes herself off from the one man she loved deeply. When she meets Grayson, a photographer, she has no idea that her new boss will offer her more than she bargained for. The pay is great, her new friends more than welcoming and everything seems to be running well…until everyone insists she find herself a new suitor during a night out.

Jett knows how to play games. He is used to getting attention from everyone except the beautiful dark haired woman who doesn’t like to be fooled with and doesn’t trust him as far as she can spit. He wants Brooke but, more than that, he wants to own her, and the only way to get her is to make her owe him…against her will.

And what Jett owns, Jett keeps forever
