You know what I noticed a few weeks ago?
EJ Wesley's NA supernatural suspense, Blood Fugue. Talk about original cover art—wow! This book really stood out, and that's why I'm highlighting it now.
As part of the Did I Notice Your Book blogfest, I’m giving EJ a public shout-out. Let’s see how long it takes him to find it! ;)

About the book...
“'Some folks treated the past like an old friend. The memories warmed them with fondness for what was, and hope for what was to come. Not me. When I thought of long ago, my insides curdled, and I was left feeling sour and wasted.'
Jenny Schmidt is a young woman with old heartaches. A small town Texas girl with big city attitude, she just doesn’t fit in. Not that she has ever tried.
Life has pummeled her heart into one big, lonely callus. She has no siblings, both parents were dead by sixteen, and her last grandparent—and caretaker—was in the ground before she turned twenty-one. She’s the last living member of her immediate family. Or so she thinks…
'We found my ‘grandfather’ sitting at his dining room table. An entire scorched pot of coffee dangled from his shaky hand. His skin was the ashen gray shade of thunderclouds, not the rich mocha from the photo I’d seen. There were dark blue circles under each swollen red eye. A halo of white hair skirted his bald head, a crown of tangles and mats. Corpses had more life in them.'
Suddenly, instead of burying it with the dead, Jenny is forced to confront the past. Armed only with an ancient family journal, her rifle, and an Apache tomahawk, she must save her grandfather’s life and embrace her dangerous heritage. Or be devoured by it."

You just made EJ's day!
Thanks for participating in our blogfest.
I've seen this book around a lot, I might have to give it a try! :D
Definitely an eye catcher! I've got this one on my tbr list, can't wait to get to it. (:
Very cool!
The cover reminds me of Picasso's work:)
That is a very cool cover. Thanks for sharing.
I hadn't noticed EJ's book, but I certainly am now. Very unigue, eye-catcher. "Hey, EJ, Carrie's noticed your book!" You mean that kind of shout out, eh?
Stopping to find out what book you noticed! Great job at picking a good one out. Sounds delightfully erie. Perfect for October.
GET OUT!!! I've just been working my way through the DINYB list, posting waaayyyyy too lengthy comments for someone trying to get through them all before noon and--WOOMP! There I am! :-D *cue obscure 90s song reference*
Seriously didn't expect to see me pop up today, and it made me giggle like a schoolboy.
Carrie, I'd seriously hug you if I didn't fear electrical shock from squeezing the computer. You're the best! I'm going to go and gloat over Alex's soon. :-)
I did notice EJ's cover last month. Very cool! I see he noticed!
Wow. Sounds like quite the book. And that cover is deep. The more you look at it, the more sinister it gets.
If you haven't read it, you're missing a good story. ;)
Carrie,
Love to read the author's post when they find their books listed.
E J -- awesome!
Oh yes, I've seen EJ's book all over the place!
I've never seen this one. What a great cover. I'll have to check it out.
Yay, EJ!!! Great notice. I'm so happy for him. Thanks for participating.
I'm glad! :) No problem, Alex. It was fun!
Very cool cover. Sounds like an intense read, too!
I have heard of this book around the blogosphere before so the title is definitely familiar to me. Not my type of read, though. Very cool cover!
Couldn't hurt! :)
Same here! If my TBR list consisted of physical books, I'd probably be featured on Hoarders. ;)
Oo, I could see that! :)
I agree. :)
No problem, Susan! Thank you for stopping by!
I did! His book got a lot of attention. :)
I came across this book when it was being released. It looks a little different now. Dunno why. Cool though.
Yeah! Whatever works. ;)
Thanks, Lee! It's a fun blogfest, isn't it? :)
I loved this cover when it was released and the blurb is quite interesting. Great pick!
great scary story! even the cover frightens me!
2nd mention i've seen!
Ooo, I've NEVER seen this. (So I guess this confirms I am actually living under a rock... bummer)
Thanks for posting about this my dear!
Eeeeee!!!!! EJ rocks! And I've read his stuff and he is uber talented. Fantastic highlight, Carrie! ;)
I will not get out, Mr. Wesley. This is my blog, and I intend to stay here. *Grins* Yeah, I'm going to pretend I didn't just do a little dance to that.
You're very welcome! I was happy to feature you. :D
He sure did! Thanks for stopping by, Sherry. :)
Good point, Donna! It does seem to gain depth the more you stare at it. :)
I will soon! :D
Isn't that a great moment? I love the joy we share in this community. :D
Woohoo! :)
It certainly stands out, doesn't it? :)
I'm happy for him, too. :) No, problem, Ciara. Thank you for hosting!
It really does! I can't wait to read it. :)
Thanks for stopping by, Livia! :)
This is so great to see EJ's book here. Very cool!
Yeah! :)
I think it's one of those images you could see a dozen times and still see new details the next time you look at it. :)
Thanks, Michael! :)
I'm glad EJ is getting the attention he rightly deserves. :D
Then the blogfest was a success! :) No problem, Kelley!
Yeah, he does! :D Thanks, Morgan!
And it's great to see you here, Lynda! :) Thanks for stopping by!
Yay! EJ found your post!
That's a fun idea! Cool sounding book, too!
One day I too will have a book listed. Awesome book.
Yeah! :) This was a fun blogfest!
Isn't it? I really enjoyed this blogfest. :D
Heck yeah! I look forward to that day. :D
It's a striking cover. I've seen it around too and I want to read this! I get totally absorbed just in EJ's blog posts, so I'm sure his writing is incredible.
Same here, Nick! :) Thanks for stopping by!
