Happy Wednesday! I have a special post for you guys today. Stephanie Alexander, who stunned me with The Cracked Slipper, has a new book coming out Friday called The Red Choker. This is a sequel to The Cracked Slipper and I cannot wait to read the follow up.

So today, I am giving you a sneak peek at what you can see this Friday. Here is the cover of The Red Choker:

Here’s the synopsis of the story:
Eleanor Brice Desmarais, she of the cracked glass slipper and unladylike intellectual propensities, has learned that happily-ever-after is as rare as a frozen dragon, even for a happenstance princess. She survived a plot against her life, but her marriage to the alcoholic, womanizing Prince Gregory of Cartheigh remains at best a sham, and at worse, a potential noose around her neck.

Now, the best part of this post? I have an e-book copy of this book that I am giving away through Amazon and all you have to do is enter you name and email address in the comment section. We will pick a random winner on FRIDAY! So get your comments in, spread the word, unless you want to keep it to yourself to increase your chances of winning

Happy Tuesday. Today I am happy to show off the cover for a new YA thriller that comes out in November 2013. Ladies and gentlemen, drumroll please….. Here is the cover for Cheryl Rainfield’s Stained.

Description: In this heart-wrenching and suspenseful teen thriller, sixteen-year-old Sarah Meadows longs for “normal.” Born with a port-wine stain covering half her face, all her life she’s been plagued by stares, giggles, bullying, and disgust. But when she’s abducted on the way home from school, Sarah is forced to uncover the courage she never knew she had, become a hero rather than a victim, and learn to look beyond her face to find the beauty and strength she has inside. It’s that—or succumb to a killer.

Released: November 19, 2013

From the author: Like I did with Scars and Hunted, I drew on some of my own experiences of bullying, abuse, and trauma to write Stained and to give it greater emotional depth. Like Sarah in Stained, I experienced abduction, imprisonment, periods of forced starvation, mind control, and having my life threatened. And like Sarah, I tried hard to fight against my abuser, keep my own sense of self, and escape. I hope readers will see Sarah’s strength and courage, and appreciate her emotional growth as she reclaims herself.

Tagline: Sometimes you have to be your own hero.

I have read Hunted by Cheryl, about a telepath named Caitlyn, in a world where the power is illegal. Check out my review for that book here. I also had the opportunity to interview Cheryl last year. Check out our chat here. I am excited to get my hands on this book. Cheryl’s books are so gripping. They are very intense and take you to dark places that you get so immersed in, you know you shouldn’t be there, but don’t want to leave!
