#PitMad is coming in just a few short days! Need help with your pitch?

Hey guys and dolls! 

Brenda Drake's #PitMad is fast approaching! 


I've come up with four pitches, based on feedback from here on the blog,  feedback from my awesome CPs, and feedback from my super-duper TwitWits friends. 



I'd love to know your thoughts, and I'd also love to help you if you need help with your pitches! 



So, post your Twitter pitches here in the comments and I'll see if I can be of any service. 

ALSO, if you see someone's pitch you can help with, PLEASE CHIME IN! 


To get things going, here are my four pitches (I will rotate them throughout the pitch fest):

1)  To prevent turning into the Beast of fairytale lore, 17yo Holland must fall in love. Too bad she's the school's outcast pyro.  YA

2)  17yo Holland has no memories of torching her ex's home or poisoning her BFF, but she can't deny it as she morphs into the Beast. #PitMad YA

3)  17yo Holland doesn't recall torching her ex's home or poisoning her ex-BFF. But becoming a Beast from lore forces her to wonder. #PitMad YA

4)  17yo Holland doesn't plan to torch her ex's home, poison her ex-BFF, or become the Beast from fairytales. But that's what happens #PitMad YA

#LEGASEA by Krystalyn Drown @KrysteyBelle - Your #CQPromo of the day! Only $0.99!




LEGASEA by Krystalyn Drown 
On sale for just $0.99! Limited time only! 



When sixteen-year-old Aileen Shay sees a dead girl floating in the bay during a midnight yacht party, she never imagines Jamie Flannigan, her new boyfriend, may be involved. The only thing she knows about Jamie is that he personifies the one thing she has been drawn to her entire life – the ocean. But as she grows closer to him, she realizes he knows more about the murder than he's telling. When another girl is attacked, and Jamie refuses to answer her questions, Aileen searches for answers on her own.

Aileen learns that Jamie's family belongs more to myths and legends than they do in the real world. They are selkies, and after the Flannigans threaten her family, Aileen suspects they are responsible for both attacks.

But they aren't the only ones in her small fishing town who can keep a secret.

As Aileen uncovers the truth about the murder, the selkies, and her own family, she learns why her soul is bonded to the sea. But with that revelation comes a choice – to permanently sever her connection with the water, which comes at a painful cost, or embrace a legacy that just might get her killed.

#18THINGS by @JamieMAyres - Your #CQPromo of the day! Only $0.99!





18 THINGS 
by Jamie Ayres



Can eighteen things save a life?

Olga Gay Worontzoff thinks her biggest problems are an awful name and not attending prom with Conner, her best friend and secret crush since kindergarten.

Then, Conner is killed in a freak boating accident and Olga feels responsible for his death. When she downs an entire bottle of pills to deal with the emotional pain, her parents force her into counseling. There, her therapist writes a prescription in the form of a life list titled "18 Things": eighteen quests to complete the year of her eighteenth birthday.

But there's more to Olga’s quests than meets the eye and when her therapist reveals a terrifying secret, her world is shaken.

There’s only one thing she knows for certain: her choices won’t just affect her future, but all eternity.

#FADE by @AKMorgen, your #LuckyCQ #CQPromo of the day! Only $0.99!




FADE
The Ragnarök Prophesies: Book One 
by A.K. Morgen




Genre: New Adult Urban Fantasy


What do you do when you realize nothing in your life is what you've believed it to be?


When Arionna Jacobs loses her mother in a tragic accident, her world is turned upside down. She’s forced to leave her old life behind and move in with her father. Dace Matthews, a teaching assistant at her new college, is torn in two, unable to communicate with the feral wolf caged inside him.



When they meet, everything they thought they knew about life unravels. Dace has intimate access to Arionna’s mind, and something deep within her fights to rise to the surface. They don't understand what's happening to them or why, and they're running out of time to sort out the strange occurrences around them. 



Their meeting sets an ancient Norse prophesy of destruction in motion, and what destiny has in store for them is bigger than either could have ever imagined. Unless they learn to trust themselves and one another, they may never resolve the mystery surrounding who they are to one another, and what that means for the world.



FADE is available from Curiosity Quills Press at Amazon US | UK | DE | FR | IT | ES | Barnes and Noble | Kobo. You can learn more at http://akmorgen.com or by following Ayden on Twitter or Facebook.

EVER
by
Jessa Russo
 The EVER Trilogy, Book One



Seventeen-year-old Ever’s love life has been on hold for the past two years. She’s secretly in love with her best friend Frankie, and he’s completely oblivious.

Of course, it doesn't help that he’s dead, and waking up to his ghost every day has made moving on nearly impossible.

Frustrated and desperate for something real, Ever finds herself falling for her hot new neighbor Toby. His relaxed confidence is irresistible, and not just Ever knows it. But falling for Toby comes with a price that throws Ever’s life into a whirlwind of chaos and drama. More than hearts are on the line, and more than Ever will suffer.

Some girls lose their hearts to love.

Some girls lose their minds.

Ever Van Ruysdael could lose her soul.

Have you been LUCKY in LOVE? #LuckHop *Over 300 prizes!!*


Have you been LUCKY in LOVE?


Blog Hop hosted by the wonderful CARRIE ANN'S BLOG HOPS! 
Lucky in Love? 

With each romance, we find ourselves in a new world of love and memories. Are these just by chance? Is it luck? 

Welcome to your second annual Lucky in Love Blog Hop where we want to hear about your love, your romance, and how much you love St. Patrick's Day!!! Are you wearing green? 

I'll definitely be wearing green this weekend--probably today AND Sunday. Tomorrow, too, if I can find something. I'm just THAT kind of person. Sunday's festivities will consist of a very green brunch with friends, and I'm very much looking forward too some green champagne, and maybe even a black and tan! 

As far as luck in love goes, I think that a person can be lucky in love at the beginning. But there's no such thing as staying together because of luck. It may have been pure chance/luck/fate/whatever-you-want-to-call-it when I met my husband almost eleven years ago. 

He'd just moved back to California from Phoenix, where he'd ditched a pretty unhealthy relationship, and then his dad died (within a week or two of that move). So, I know the last thing on his mind was dating. 

I'd just moved back to California after a long summer in Lake Havasu, AZ, where I'd been lied to by more than one guy I cared about. I moved home with my head screwed on tighter than ever, knowing that the very last thing I needed was another jerk in my life. 

So who would have known we'd meet one afternoon, and become inseperable that very night?  

But we did, and I guess you could say that was luck. (I tend to think that was GOD, but to each his own.) 

Since then, however, our relationship has been held together with hard work, love, respect, and determination and faith in each other, as well as our marriage . . . and we're still going strong! 


Now, what do you think about luck in love? Have you experienced it for yourself? Do you believe it takes luck to find love? What about luck to keep love?Comment below, and be sure to leave your email address!!

300 bloggers have giveaways and posts about those men we love! 

I'm giving away TWO (2) e-book copies of EVER, my debut young adult paranormal romance! Two lucky winners, just on this blog alone!




 But that's not all....

We have TWO grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!

Now what are those prizes?

1st Grand Prize: A $100 Amazon or B&N Gift Card
2nd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, 50+ bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, pens, coffee cozies, and more!

COLOUR WIELDERS by Dawna Raver: COVER REVEAL!


 You guys! How gorgeous is this cover!? 




COLOUR WIELDERS 
by
Dawna Raver

Behind the Mysts, hidden from Mortal eyes, is a land where Gods and creatures of myth and legend dwell. And in the Mortal Realm, their Princess lives.

Quinn Sinclair is clueless to who she is. She thinks she's an ordinary young woman—well, mostly ordinary—living an ordinary life with her less than loving mother in Conifer, Colorado. On the night of her birthday, Quinn finds herself betrayed by a man who sends her life spinning out-of-control.

As she struggles to pick up the pieces, a vision of a man with haunting tourmaline-blue eyes begs her for help, and she finds herself transported into a Magykal battle forever changing her life.

Arik Morgaine—Demigod bad boy and outcast of the Magykal Realm—tried to avoid contact with Princess Quinn Sinclair for eighteen years, not wanting to make good on an old threat. But the fates have other plans. Arik can no longer deny his growing desire for Quinn, or the need to protect her from those wanting to control her burgeoning powers. Can the two of them come together and save the Magykal Realm from being destroyed by the Darkest of Magyks, or will powers beyond their control destroy them and their world forever?


COLOUR WIELDERS, Book One, Heirs of the Magykal Realm Series, is a New Adult fantasy, and will be available in digital and print formats from Curiosity
Quills Press on April 19, 2013.
