This post is part of VikLit's blog hop, Celebrate the Small Things. Head on over there to join up!
So, what am I celebrating this week?
My cover! It's so amazingly gorgeous. Waiting two days to share it with you all was torture, but I think worthwhile. So without further ado, allow me to show you the absolutely perfect artwork my publisher's cover designer came up with....
And here's a little about the book for those of you who may not have been around when I was angst-ridden on draft number 486 of The Boyfriend Plague.
Things at home are
rough for fifteen-year-old Livvie Quinn. Jules, her beloved older sister is
sick again after being cancer free for almost ten years. Her mom becomes more frantic and
unapproachable every day. School isn’t much better. Just when she needs them most, her closest friends get
boyfriends and have little time for Livvie – except to set her up on a series
of disastrous blind dates.
Livvie seeks refuge
in the art room and finds Bianca, the school ‘freak’. Free-spirited and confident, Bianca is
everything Livvie isn’t. Shaken by her mom’s desperation, her sister’s
deteriorating condition, and abandoned by her friends, Livvie finds comfort and
an attraction she never felt before with Bianca.
When their relationship is discovered, Livvie and
Bianca become victims of persecution and bullying. School authorities won’t
help and even forbid the pair to attend the Winter Formal as a couple. If
Livvie defies them and goes, she risks expulsion and further ridicule from her
classmates. At home, her mother’s behavior escalates to new levels of crazy and
Jules is begging for help to end the pain once and for all.
While searching for the strength to make her life
her own, Livvie must decide how far she’s willing to go for the people she
loves.
An Unstill Life will be available through Musa Publishing on January 3rd. You can add it on Goodreads too, if you want. I'd love it if you did.
