Trying on my Photoshop Hat with Some Digital Photomanipulations
So ... in case you don't know this about me, I play around on Photoshop in between writing to give my mind a break. I love it. It's so much fun to take raw materials and put them together in a new and artistic (I hope!) way. I get some stock pictures from DeviantArt as well as stock image websites, and today I even used some of my wedding photos!
Anyway, here is some of the random stuff I've done :-)

Meet the Cover of Juliana Haygert's NA Contemporary Romance, BREAKING THE REINS
Available in August 2013
Horses, mansions, tea parties, and lies are twenty-year-old Hannah Taylor’s life. To others, her family and her relationship with Eric is perfect. But she knows the truth. She lives it.
After a fire takes her grandma’s life and kills her horse, Hannah’s immaculate life spirals out of control. Her father disapproves of her decision to run her grandma’s ranch instead of focusing solely on learning the family business; Animal Control brings her Argus, a mistreated horse that she can’t turn away even though she’s not ready for another horse; and her boyfriend, Eric Bennett, a world famous polo player, becomes possessive and authoritarian. Despite her best efforts to disguise it, Hannah grows wary of him.
Then, Leonardo Fernandes struts onto the polo scene. A cocky rookie with a messy life of his own, he’s drawn to Hannah and isn’t afraid of showing it, even when Eric makes it clear she is his and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Hannah suffers for Eric’s jealousy. The abuse only gets worse when Leo steals the title of best polo player in the world from Eric.
But the title isn’t enough for Leo. He wants Hannah too, and she can’t deny her attraction to him either. Somehow, she must find a way to break free from abusive Eric before he breaks every bone in her body.

Promoting Writers & Bloggers: Katie McGarry, Melanie Schulz & Marcio Goncalves
Here are some more awesome peeps and books for you to check out :-)
Katie McGarry
I recently read Dare You To. Ohmygoodness WOW! Katie definitely knows how to tell an addictive tale! Here you have two characters from opposite ends of the social spectrum, and yet they have a lot more in common than they think. Ryan is the supposedly perfect guy with the perfect family, and Beth is the girl with the messed up past who wants everyone to just stay the **** away from her. It's a dare that brings them together, and dares are woven into every layer of the story. When they're both given a chance to make different choices, will they be brave enough to change the course their lives are already set on? Will they be brave enough to do it together?
Bottom line: YOU SHOULD READ THIS ONE!
Melanie Schulz
Melanie is a blogger I've only recently begun to follow, but I already know I love the way she writes. How do I know this? Because she's taking part in this year's A to Z Challenge by writing a different flash fiction each day - and it's good stuff!
I looked around her blog a little and discovered she has a book coming out at the beginning of May. Isn't that cover eerily cool? Find out more about The Newstead Project, a YA thriller trilogy.
Marcio Goncalves
Marcio is a fellow South African author who's recently published his first book, The Venetian Violinist. It's a romantic comedy which you can download for FREE until the end of tomorrow (Sunday)! I've got my copy and I'm looking forward to trying it out. Marcio is also a new blogger, and if you'd like to visit his online hang-out and give him some follower-love, you can go here.

Sign Up for THE FAERIE PRINCE Blog Tour and Release Day Blogfest
Hooray! We're just under two months away from the release of THE FAERIE PRINCE, and it's time to plan another blog tour! The book will be released on May 30th, and the blog tour will be held from June 3rd to 9th. If you'd like to take part, you can scroll further down this page and fill in the form.
I wanted to do something a little bit different on release day, so instead of just asking you all to do a generic announcement to tell the world that the book is available, I thought in addition to announcing the release of THE FAERIE PRINCE, you could also tell everyone who your favorite faerie tale prince is, and why :-) You can pick any prince/hero from any fairy tale, old or modern (and if you have an objection to posting about your favorite prince, you could tell us who your favorite princess is instead!). You can do this on release day or for three days after that, i.e. from May 30th to June 2nd, whichever day suits you best. If you're keen, scroll down and add your name to the Simply Linked list.
Add your link to tell us who your favorite faerie tale prince is on May 30th!
(or between May 30th and June 2nd, if you can't do May 30th!)
And before you go ... here's a little teaser ;-)
