Celebrate: Cloaked in Secrecy & Giveaways

This week I'm celebrating:
1) After FIVE trips to the dentist to finish ONE freaking root canal (darned infection refused to go away), my dentist and I both needed a break. No crown until May. Whew -- what a relief!
2) I hit 20k on my Alaskan WIP, Coldest Night. That's about a third through. Yay!
3) With no crown until May, I'll be pain free and will probably be able to finish the book in the next 2 months. That's faster than I've ever written before! I'll have to revise it, but I'll still have it done before summer. (And as you see by the image at the top right of my sidebar, I've made a bold promise to publish FOUR books this year!)

My CP of Awsomeness, T.F. Walsh has released her new novel CLOAKED IN SECRECY! I adore this one - it's my favorite of her books so far because it takes place in a circus, and we all know I love those! 

Congrats, Tania!

The Wulfkin Legacy saga continues with this gripping tale of love under extraordinary circumstances.
        Death has followed Alena Novac's circus family for years. When the police arrest her brother for a murder he didn't commit, she has only a week to rescue him before he transforms into his wolf form in prison and exposes their wulfkin existence to the world.
        Enre Ulf, a former member of the Varlac, the fearsome ruling wulfkin clan, plans to infiltrate Alena's circus clan and take out their alpha to save his home in Transylvania. Except he never expected his wolf to claim the alpha's daughter, Alena, as his mate, or feel compelled to save her brother to help protect the secrets of the wulfkin.
        With the police closing in and the blood feud threatening them, Alena and Enre must overcome their pasts to save their packs' futures.

Cloaked in Secrecy is the book #2 in the Wulfkin Legacy series, but can be read a stand-alone book.

Celebrate: Under a Purple Moon & Giveaways!

This week, I'm sort of celebrating:
1) The dentist finished the root canal (maybe), and on Sunday I go back for him to start the crown procedure (I think). Not really sure why it's taking so many trips and costing more than I thought. I think the lack of clarity is due to him explaining things to me while I'm on pain meds...
2) I've succeeded in getting my rights to SOUL CUTTER back from the publisher. (yay!) It's now no longer on vendor sites and cannot be purchased. (yay?) Due to legal issues/contracts, I can't put it back out until September. (I think) But when I do, it'll have an awesome new cover and be less expensive than it was before! (definite YAY for that!)
3) The U.S. presidential campaigns.  Seriously -- what is up with those?  It's like watching a terrible car crash in slow motion.  

The one thing I'm sure I'm celebrating is Beverly Stowe McClure's new book!

No Love in the Garden of Eden...
        Eden Rose has learned to deal with her mother’s criticism that she can do nothing right. What she can’t deal with are the arguments between her parents. To escape their angry words, she finds refuge in an old abandoned house. She always returns home, hoping her mother will love her one day, even though Eden’s not sure what the word love means. 
        Three other teens with problems also hang out at the Old House. Meeting Murphy, Toby, and Josh changes Eden’s world, and she begins to have faith in herself. Perhaps she can do something right, after all. 
        Thanks to the boys, she begins to understand the meaning of love. But will it be enough to save her broken home life?

BUY:  AMAZON ~ AMAZON-UK ~ B&N ~ KOBO ~ iTUNES ~ SMASHWORDS

Put the book on your Goodreads "I Want To Read" list.

AUTHOR BIO:

Most days, you'll find Beverly at her computer writing stories young voices whisper in her ear. When she's not writing, she plays the piano. Her cats don't appreciate good music and run and hide when she tickles the ivories. She's sometimes called the "bug lady." She's not telling why.

Celebrate: The Cover Winner & Giveaways

Thanks for voting on my Cover Poll!

A total of 154 people voted -- but SurveyMonkey won't let me see the votes from 8 of them! Seems even if you check the "Don't limit number of responders" SurveyMonkey still limits them to 100. When my poll hit 108 they refused to show anything over 100 UNLESS I paid them a year's subscription. 

Yes, they were holding votes from 8 people hostage! 

But I don't negotiate with terrorists -- so I quickly made up another poll and put it in place of the old one. I continued to get voters and ended up with 46 new ones before I closed the poll yesterday with a total of 146 voters.

** Beware that the FREE version of SurveyMonkey

 is only free for your first 100 responders. **

Here are screenshots of the vote totals:

And the winner is:

..............

 *drumroll* 

................

Cover #8!

Runner-ups: Cover #1 and Cover #3 

Depending on input from whoever I decide to publish with, one of these three covers will be used.  :)
