HELLO FRIENDS, I HAVE A COVER REVEAL FOR YOU TODAY, MIA KERICK'S LOVE SPELL'S COVER IS A GREAT ONE, I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO SEE IT! WE HAVE THE BLURB, COVER, PRE- ORDER LINK, AN EXCERPT AN AUTHOR BIO AND LINKS, AND A RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY: SO LET'S GET STARTED:
THE BLURB!
Strutting
his stuff on the catwalk in black patent leather pumps and a snug
orange tuxedo as this year’s Miss (ter) Harvest Moon feels so very
right to Chance César, and yet he knows it should feel so very
wrong.
As
far back as he can remember, Chance has been “caught between
genders.” (It’s quite a touchy subject; so don’t ask him about
it.) However, he does not question his sexual orientation.
Chance has no doubt about his gayness—he is very much out of the
closet at his rural New Hampshire high school, where the other
students avoid the kid they refer to as “girl-boy.”
But
at the local Harvest Moon Festival, when Chance, the Pumpkin Pageant
Queen, meets Jasper Donahue, the Pumpkin Carving King, sparks fly. So
Chance sets out, with the help of his BFF, Emily, to make “Jazz”
Donahue his man.
An
article in an online women’s magazine, Ten Scientifically Proven
Ways to Make a Man Fall in Love with You (with a bonus love spell
thrown in for good measure), becomes the basis of their strategy to
capture Jazz’s heart.
Quirky,
comical, definitely flamboyant, and with an inner core of poignancy,
Love
Spell
celebrates the diversity of a gender-fluid teen.
SOUNDS GREAT DOESN'T IT? BELIEVE ME IT IS HERE IS THE LOVELY COVER:
TOLD YOU IT WAS A GREAT COVER! HERE IS AN EXCERPT:
“Do you really wanna go there?”
Unlike the fake
lunch block that I spend every day with Jazz, my
real lunch
block with Emily has been a total bitch lately. I can’t say who the
major target of the bullshit is—Emmy or me—as neither of us has a
sizeable fan club at Fiske High School. But I will say that the front
table by the salad bar can be a cold place, and that’s not just
because of the draft that comes in from the hallway.
“Nice makeup,
girl-boy.” It seems Edwin Darling hasn’t forgotten my nickname
from grade school, which sucks for me.
But this diva never
backs down. “Thanks. Haven’t you heard—I was the head makeup
artist on Evita?”
“Eh-what-uh?”
Eddie the Appalling wrinkles his greasy forehead and runs his hand
over his buzz-cut hair. Clearly, he is unfamiliar with Tony Award
winning Broadway musicals. Not that I’m shocked. He quickly shifts
his attention to Emily. “How do you put up with him, fat-ass?”
My BFF isn’t as
good as I am at deflecting evil taunts. She looks up at him with wide
eyes and seems to lose her appetite, pushing her salad toward the
middle of the table.
“Oh, that’s
cold, my darling Eddie.” (See what I did with his name, there?
Clever, I know.) I stand up. “I wouldn’t go there if I were you.”
I then “rawr” at him like a ticked-off tigress, throwing in a
clawing gesture to get my point across. “Do you really
wanna
go there?”
I can tell by the
look on his face that he’s remembering how long it took for the
scratches on his face to heal after our last entanglement.
“I personally
could live without going there, but you know me—I’m impulsive as
hell.” I fold my arms across my chest and thrust out my right hip.
“Piss me off and I’m likely to do abso-fucking-lutely anything.”
The bulk of my
attention is focused on my adversary, but it’s impossible to miss
that we’ve gathered an audience. An audience of indifferent
“watchers”—the multitudes of apathetic teens who will later
text each other, “did you see the homo and the bully go
head-to-head at lunch today?” They don’t matter one smidgeon in
the scheme of things, but my Emily does.
At this point, Eddie
and I are eye-to-eye and chest-to-chest. Lucky for him, one of his
thugs bails him out. “Get too close to that fag and you’ll get
AIDS—am I wrong?” The big oaf grabs Eddie by the arm and pulls
him away.
But he doesn’t
remove his gaze from mine. “You better watch out when we’re off
school grounds, pansy.”
If I said I didn’t
shudder, I’d be lying.
OH MAN I LOVE THIS STORY, YOU WILL TOO, SO BE SURE TO GRAB IT ON RELEASE DAY, JUNE 1ST! HERE IS SOME AUTHOR INFO AND LINKS FOR MIA;
Mia Kerick is the
mother of four exceptional children—all named after saints—and
five nonpedigreed cats—all named after the next best thing to
saints, Boston Red Sox players. Her husband of twenty-two years has
been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t ask
Mia about that, as it is a sensitive subject.
Mia
focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young people
and their relationships, and she believes that physical intimacy has
a place in a love story, but not until it is firmly established as a
love story. As a teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with
romantic tales of tortured heroes (most of whom happened to strongly
resemble lead vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them
under her mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to Dreamspinner
Press, Harmony Ink Press, CoolDudes Publishing, and CreateSpace for
providing her with alternate places to stash her stories.
Mia
is a social liberal and cheers for each and every victory made in the
name of human rights, especially marital equality. Her only major
regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school,
destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and
constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.
