Release the Crustaceans!

Hey. 

Hey there. Guess what? 

I sold another book! And this one has a giant lobster in it! As Announced in Publisher's Marketplace:

Catherine Bailey's LUCY LOVES SHERMAN, about a girl whose dream of owning a pet lobster turns into a serious mission when she realizes she must save him from the bib and butter, complete with crustacean back matter, to Nicole Frail at Sky Pony Press, by Kathleen Rushall of Marsal Lyon Literary Agency (World).

I am thrilled to work with Nicole again and am so grateful to my uber agent Kathleen. To celebrate I shall post pictures of cats dressed as lobsters ... because of the cuteness. 

    

    

Cover Reveal!

Fellow MLLA author Marci Lyn Curtis has a cover reveal for her book THE ONE THING today and I am so, so excited for her! Are you ready? Brace your eyeballs. Brace'em good.

While I usually focus on PBs, I added this YA book to my purchase list because JUST READ THIS BLURB! 

"Maggie Sanders might be blind, but she won't invite anyone to her pity party. Ever since losing her sight six months ago, Maggie's rebellious streak has taken on a life of its own, culminating with an elaborate school prank. Maggie called it genius. The judge called it illegal.

Now Maggie has a probation officer. But she isn't interested in rehabilitation, not when she's still mourning the loss of her professional soccer dreams, and furious at her so-called friends, who lost interest in her as soon as she could no longer lead the team to victory.

When Maggie first meets Ben, she thinks she can add crazy to her list of problems. But the precocious ten-year-old isn't a hallucination. Maggie can actually see him. She immediately befriends the kid, desperate for any chance to see again.

It turns out Ben's older brother is Mason Milton, the the ridiculously hot lead singer of Maggie's new favorite band. Music is the first thing that has made Maggie feel alive since losing her sight. But when she learns the real reason she can see Ben, Maggie must find the courage to face a once-unimaginable future...before she loses everything she has grown to love."
