Hey, gang! How the heck are y'all? I've missed you (and my computer) more than I can say. :)
I'm finally back to the blog after making the loooonngggg trek from Texas to California. Along the way, I saw desert, mountains, more desert, vineyards and more than a few terrible drivers. -_- (Seriously, who lets these jackwagons operate 2 ton projectiles of death unsupervised???!!!)
But, I'm proud to report we are moved in (sort of) and getting settled in our new town with only the minor moving-related injuries to report. (I swear I've got "box thumb". It's a rare disorder that comes from opening up and breaking down way too many damned boxes.)
To get my feet wet, this week on the blog I'm featuring a couple of my favorite folks, who also happen to be talented authors. :) First up is Ms. Carrie Butler, who'll be bringing us the sequel to her debut novel, Strength (ladies will remember the cover, I'm sure), this October.
Carrie has crafted another beauty of a cover (one I might just remember!), and all of the details on Courage are below... also be sure to give Carrie a hand with her blog tour if you have a spot available. She comes up with the best stuff for her tours. :)
And let me just say one more time that I REALLY missed the heck out of all of y'all!

♥ ♥ ♥
Making a deal with the bad guys wasn’t the highlight of Rena Collins’
semester, but, hey, it saved her boyfriend. Now, in order to appease the
human-altering organization known as ERA, she’ll crawl under their microscope
while they study the Mark of Nexus and plot their eye-glazed version of the
future—until she realizes that’s not all they’re plotting.
Wallace Blake has always known his girlfriend is unlike most girls. But
now that information has surfaced regarding the two bloodlines that balance his
supernatural race, he finally understands why. Rena belongs to one of them.
She’s been augmenting his power, all along...
Enter: Corynn Catley. Brought into the country under the guise of an
internship, she’s intended to become ERA’s secret weapon. Kind of. Her
abilities cancel out Wallace’s, rendering him powerless, but that’s exactly
what he’s always wanted. Too bad it only works when his girlfriend’s not
around.
All the while, Rena fails to notice the crush her geeky best friend, Aiden
Ross, is nursing. He’d give anything for her to see him in a new light—even
reinvent himself through questionable means—but there’s a reason people are
told to be careful what they wish for. Finding the courage to tell her could
put everyone’s lives in danger.

ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging!
Always!
DeleteSomething for the ladies first time around, and this time something for the dudes. Very generous of Carrie :D
ReplyDeleteWelcome back E.J.!! I had a strange moving experience because I didn't really pack many boxes at all - I was moving just a few hundred metres down the road ;)
Those are the best moves! You just keep making trips until nothing is left. Although, I've made a few of those 'down the street' moves, and they're still a lot of work. :)
DeleteWelcome back and congrats Carrie on a great cover.
ReplyDeleteIt is a cool cover, and congratulations on the move!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back, EJ! I'm glad the move went well and I hope you are enjoying your new home in California. Congratulations to Carrie!
ReplyDeletegood to have you back, you've been missed. Nice reviews.
