Blog Tour Kicks Off for "The Other Side of Gemini"

Happy September, everyone! This month is an exciting one. First because I am having spine surgery to address a problem that has been torturing me for months and months (Yay! But scary!), second because autumn begins (my fave season), and third because my dear friend LG McCann just kicks off her blog tour today! Woop!

You may recall my posting a little happy dance back in July when The Other Side of Gemini, her debut women's fiction novel, hit the virtual shelves, and now here is another one...

*happy dance wiggle wiggle happy dance*

And here's a little sneak peek at today's review from Chick Lit Plus... "What LG McCann gives us [...] is a compelling, emotional, and honestly a bit of a dark story about friendship and life in general. [...] I was won over!"

For those of you who haven't read my earlier post and don't know what I am even talking about, here is more about Gemini, which USA Today bestselling author Lyla Payne called "a surprise in all the best ways!"

Sylvia Miloche is a successful book editor by day, D-list party girl by night, and has been dating New York City’s favorite playboy James Ryan for five years. But things are far from perfect. When the New York Post catches James with an intern, Sylvia’s already precarious life comes crashing down.

Lindsay Sekulich is a high school science teacher, wife, and mother of three in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. Her high school reunion is quickly approaching and that means the secrets of her bad-girl past, all of which she’s kept hidden from her husband, could come spilling out, revealing who she once was and the horrible things she’s done.

When Sylvia emerges in Scottsdale, seeking refuge in her hometown from the relentless gossip blogs, Lindsay finds herself alternately elated and terrified. The two were inseparable as teens, but a tragedy just before their senior year tore them apart. Sylvia, once a carefree, joyful girl always up for adventure, is a beaten down and broken adult. Now Lindsay must make a choice: rescue the friend who saved her in high school, or keep it all hidden to save her marriage from almost certain destruction.

Anything goes–and everything does–in this story of New York gossip and suburban oppression, a tale of sex, secrets, rebellion, and how your true soul mate isn’t necessarily the love of your life.

Have an awesome tour, LG!

Duff Debuts "Elixir"

I will admit to my dork-dom. I saw Hilary Duff in concert on her first tour. Yes, yes I did. I have a strange fondness for her--I don't know why. It doesn't hurt that she's now married to my ex-Sen Mike Comrie...

SO, all that to explain why I feel the need to share this little bit of news: Hilary's debut novel, Elixir, hit shelves today!

Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. The daughter of a renowned surgeon and a prominent Washington DC politician, she has grown to be a talented photojournalist who takes refuge in a career that allows her to travel to the most exotic parts of the world. But after Clea's father disappears while on a humanitarian mission, Clea's photos begin to feature eerie, shadowy images of a strange and beautiful man—a man she has never seen before. When fate brings Clea and this man together, she is stunned by the immediate and powerful connection she feels with him. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father's disappearance, and they discover the centuries old truth behind their intense bond. Torn by a dangerous love triangle and haunted by a powerful secret that holds their fates, together they race against time to unravel their pasts in order to save their lives—and their futures.

Yes, I will be picking up a copy. No, I will not let your laughter stop me.
