Strength Cover Reveal for Carrie Butler + What's Your Chocolate?

Good morning! I love to kick off my Mondays with something awesome, and today, I have just that! The gorgeous, talented, and all-round great gal Carrie Butler is revealing the cover for her upcoming novel, Strength, and I am truly thrilled to be a part of it! Carrie is a super supportive member of the blogging community, so I am really pleased I get to give something back!

                                                       Can you say, "YUM"??




Title: Strength
Series: Mark of Nexus – Book 1
Publisher: Sapphire Star Publishing   
Category: New Adult (NA)
Genre: Paranormal Romance (PNR)
Release Date: March 07, 2013


Synopsis:
When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation—and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few minor setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do—even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

Aaand for something a little different! M.Pax, Laura Eno, Brinda Berry and Ciara Knight are hosting the What's Your Chocolate Fest today, to celebrate the wonderfulness that is chocolate!

So ... asking me to choose a favourite chocolate is a bit like asking Joey from Friends a tough maths question - a challenge!

However, I can narrow it down a little! Since I was a kid, I've had a strong fondness for Galaxy bars. The smooth, velvety texture gets me EVERY TIME! I also have a thing for Cadbury's Creme Eggs. I cannot posibly walk past a display of Creme Eggs without buying one. Or ... six. And also, Thornton's chocolates are just about the best thing in the world! They tend to be a bit more expensive than ordinary chocolate - but so worth the money! 

Follow the linky above to hop around to the other participants, and find out their fave choccy goodies!

    Love Carrie's cover and trailer! :D

    Excellent choice of chocolates; I'm rather fond of Galaxy and Thornton's too. But I love Freddo Frog bars, because they're only 20p! Perfect chocolate fix! :D

    Yum, great cover!

    I love Thornton's. I love their hot chocolate too - I meet friends at the Thornton's cafe. My mum seems to have a permanent box of them on the go - I visit quite a lot :-)

    P.S. What a perfect day to combine subject matter. Shirtless man + chocolate? Yum, indeed! LOL

    Hi Kyra ... another who loves creme eggs - definitely not for me ... strange how our tastes vary .. now Galaxy bars are a different story ...

    I need to have chocolate bars as a treat ... Cheers Hilary

    Best of luck to Carrie with her new book!

    I used to have a thing for Cadbury eggs. But then they were unfortunately enveloped into my stupid egg phobia.

    But I still love most other forms for chocolate.

    I am all about Cadbury's Creme Eggs. Yum yum yum.

    That cover is HOT! And the synop sounds amazing! Congrats to Carrie!

    I've never heard of Galaxy bars, but I'll have to look for them. :D

    I agree that it is worth it to shell out a few more pennies for some really good chocolate. Hershey's kisses are good for everyday, but Godiva or one of the other high-end chocolates are so much better.

    I've never had either kind of chocolate. I guess I'm too cheap.

    Oh my gosh I loved your Joey from Friends reference Kyra! So funny-

    I'm really excited for Carrie, and wish her all the best.

    Never heard of those Galaxy Bars. Hmmm...am I the only one who's thinking it would be awesome to have an exchange? I'd gladly send you any American chocolate bar you would like to try, for a taste of one of yours across the pond? YUM.

    I think expensive chocolate is always worth it.

    Congrats to Carrie. Very pretty cover. Bet he'd be yummy in chocolate. :D

    I believe Thornton makes brownies. We had them when I was living in England. They were amazing.

    Congrats again Carrie.

    Joey would also probably say that choosing a favorite chocolate is "like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo." ;-)

    That looks like an interesting book...I remember watching the commercials for the Cadbury eggs, especially around Easter time. I don't think I've tried Thornton's chocolates yet, but now I want to!

    I have no idea what a Galaxy bar is, but I'm sure I'd eat it.

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo...

IWSG: Am I doing it right? And does anyone care?

Happy IWSG Day! This genius idea created by Alex J. Cavanaugh is a place for all of us insecure writers to gather together to talk about our worries, and cheer each other on. Check out the full list of participants here ! Think right now about your favourite writers. How do you feel when you know they have a new book being released? It's usually something like, "HURRY UP, I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" right? And also, think about when one of your super talented blog buddies announces they've got a book coming out soon. That is even more exciting because it's someone you know, someone you may have seen struggling to reach their goal of publication. Someone you've seen go through the rough times, and have finally made it to where they want to be. I can tell you that when Jolene Perry, or Nyrae Dawn announce a book release - I bounce up and down like a crazy person! These two awesome ladies are writers I absolutely adore for their ability to write so natural...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Oh, I have SO been looking forward to this!! But, before I start, I need to send a huge apology to Emily R.King and Melodie Wright. I signed up to their What I Did Last Summer Bloghop , but it looks like I'm not going to have the time to participate. :( I've never backed out of a bloghop before, but as you may have noticed, I've been kind of out of the blogging loop for a while and now I'm struggling to catch up! Please go and check out Emily and Melodie's hop, though - it's fun! :D NOW, onto GUTGAA! This amazing blogfest was put together by Deana Barnhart , and was designed to help writers in their quest to find an agent, plus help form connections between writers. The idea is genius and I am so excited to be a part of it! So, I am going to begin with the meet and greet questions, and I'll be hopping around to other blogs later! :D Bio : Kyra Lennon was born on the South coast of England, and to this day, still lives by the sea.
