Spies and Prejudice Launch Party

You are invited to celebrate the official launch of Spies and Prejudice with me at the Avid Reader in Davis, CA on Saturday, June 22nd at 4:00 p.m.

There will be cake!

There will be prizes!

There will be readings!

And lots of general merriment.

The best part is that this will be a co-launch, along with my friend Katherine Longshore's beautiful book, Tarnish, which is released on Tuesday. It's about a teen Anne Boleyn, newly arrived at the Tudor Court, a girl who wants to be heard, wants to fit in, and wants the freedom to make her own choices.  You can't read this book without falling in love with Anne, and wishing that her life had turned out differently.  It's heartbreaking, but also a wonderfully romantic and uplifting look at a girl who would change history.

Back Cover Copy for Gold

On the heels of the cover, I just got a peek at the cover copy for Gold!   I finally get to tell you that Austin features very prominently in this story.  Don't worry, Blake is back too, and his love for Brianna will be tested in ways that neither of them ever imagined. Plus, it's set in Ireland, and there's time travel, and just, gah, I want to tell you everything, but I can't, so here's the summary:

Descended from an Irish demigod, Brianna has fled to Ireland to escape destruction at the hands of her sworn enemies, the Sons of Killian. Taking refuge at the estate of her former nemesis, Austin Montgomery, Brianna discovers a rift in time that opens to an era before the feud began.

Wrestling with her newfound feelings for the more innocent Austin, Brianna begins to wonder if she can alter the past. But when Brianna and Austin learn that the Sons are raising an army of mythical beasts, the pair will need to use their magical strength in the present to avoid a tragic end.

Cover for GOLD!!

So in case you haven't seen it yet- the cover for GOLD was released this week.

It turned out even better than I imagined it would when I saw the mock-up a few months ago.  Not only does it compliment the cover for SILVER, it fits with the story in so many ways.  The setting is an actual location from the book, and looks exactly as I imagined it. Off in the distance, you can see the ruins of an old castle on the bluff, another feature that figures strongly in the book.  And I love the way Brianna is so much brighter and colorful, a fitting distinction from her near invisibility in SILVER.

And it looks so pretty next to SILVER:
