My dear friend and fellow Ohioan, Tara Tyler, has a cover reveal today! Are you guys ready for POP TRAVEL?

Awesome, right? I want a poster of this cover. It's full of my favorite colors, and it has a cool vibe to it. ♥ Anyhoo, here are the details...

Title: POP TRAVEL

Author: Tara Tyler

Publisher: Curiosity Quills 

Category: Adult

Genre: Sci-fi Noir
Release Date: July 7, 2013 

Back Cover

Private Investigator J. L. Cooper always knew pop travel laser teleportation was too good to be true. Finding video proof of a disintegrating traveler is the stomach turning “I told you so.”

Not bothering to upload the video to the nosy, government monitored Qnet, Cooper digs around, bringing the death of his client and threats to his political little brother, who is in jeopardy of turning to dust anyway for disregarding Cooper’s warnings not to pop. Cooper has to do everything himself.

If he survives his first pop, Cooper won’t let anything distract him from getting the job done. Not the android security guards, the constant surveillance, or even Southern Comfort in a purple dress, Geri Harper. Nothing Coop can’t handle.

Book Description:

Adam is through with love.

He unravels blaming himself for what happened with Katie.

His final moments with her echo through his nightmares.

She owns him body and soul.

To dull the pain, Adam invites a string of women into his bed. Fueled by alcohol and desperation, his meaningless hook-ups provide little comfort. When he closes his eyes, it's Katie he sees.

The only one who helps to ease his guilt somewhat is Jada. But as his new ambulance partner, Adam considers her off limits. He doesn't want to get seriously involved with anyone, much less her. Yet he can't stop fantasizing about the feel of her caramel skin against his.

Despite his intentions, Adam's bond with Jada deepens as they respond to a series of emotional calls. Their mutual attraction becomes undeniable. But how can he give his heart to Jada when it still belongs to Katie?

The first book of the HEARTBEAT

Blogger Burn-Out

Going straight from my blog tour to the A-Z challenge might’ve been the slightest bit ambitious...

Because now I’ve got Blogger Burn-out, along with a minor case of the Industry Woes. This weekend, I found myself dreading things I normally enjoy—writing (!), reading industry news, planning blog topics, skimming my Facebook newsfeed, etc. It was all I could do to sit here and force myself to work.

So, I've decided to go on semi-hiatus until the end of June. Here are some loose guidelines:

• I will schedule cover reveals, blog tour stops, and blog hops I've agreed to participate in. ✓
• I will celebrate my 2nd blogiversary with a big ol' giveaway. ✓
  (But I’m trying to wait until I hit 500 followers. Hint, hint.)
  
• I won’t be doing regular content posts until July. X

In the meantime, I’ll be getting my sequel ready to query/submit. (Heads-up, critique partners!) I also want to completely clean out my work space. It's cluttered with release mess and writing notes, and it's driving me nuts! 

Yep, I'd say it's time to take a step back...

Anyhoo, that's what's up with me.
How are you holding up, post-challenge? :)
