Summer Crush, Evernight Teen Anthology Cover Reveal!

I'd posted sometime ago that my short story, SUTTON SUMMER, was accepted for publication with Evernight Teen Publishing. This beautiful cover landed in my inbox Monday:

 

 

 

I'm keeping the blurb quiet for now as I'm hoping to surprise someone dear to me. But I will GLADLY gush about Sutton Summer itself.

 

Last year while lounging at Sutton Lake, WV, with my family, my cousin and I had a brief conversation of how Sutton Lake was the perfect setting for a YA Contemporary Romance. I looked around the lake, the border of beautiful and heavy woods, the boat docks, the sandy beach, the teens running around, and I knew at some point I was going to have to write that story.

 

When Evernight Teen posted they were seeking authors for their upcoming anthology, Summer Crush, it was like BOOM! Here's your chance! And literally, over the course of two evenings, I wrote Sutton Summer.

 

Of course I was over the moon when I got the "yes" from my publisher but when the beauty above landed in my inbox, it all became real. Sutton Summer is slated for release this August and I can't wait to share it with you.

 

Here's a glimpse of the anthology as a whole. I'm thrilled to be among the line-up of talented authors and this anthology is sure to please your craving for young summer love! I'll post more details as they come my way.
