Thanks for being good helpers!
July is treating me well. I’m writing. I’m reading. I’m hiking. I’m even sleeping these nights. Small things like this add up to some pretty spectacular life events. Hope you’ll stop by others who are celebrating with me this Friday.
And here’s a great cause that Evernight Teen is supporting. I’m buying some books and supporting a cause I believe in.

And now for the COVER REVEAL moment. Ready? Take it away Crystal.
Have you met the Soulless and Passionate? In the world of 1770 where supernatural beings mix with humanity, Alexia is playing a deadly game.
SOULLESS, Book 2 in the Maiden of Time trilogy
Alexia manipulated time to save the man of her dreams, and
lost her best friend to red-eyed wraiths. Still grieving, she struggles to
reconcile her loss with what was gained: her impending marriage. But when her
wedding is destroyed by the Soulless—who then steal the only protection her
people have—she’s forced to unleash her true power.

And risk losing everything.

“SWOON.” –Sherlyn, Mermaid with a Book Reviewer

She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her creative husband, three littles, and âfriendâ (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese. You can find her on her blog and Facebook, or follow her on Twitter.

And there’s more! Here’s Elizabeth Seckman’s novel, BELLA’s POINT. And does her heroine look and sound enticing?
Cover art by Sprinkles on Top Studios. |
Isabella Troy Stanley is a divorced, slave freeing pariah surviving in the shattered post Civil War south the only way a fallen debutante knows how. She heads to a Yankee prison and buys herself a husband.
Jack Byron is the former Troy plantation stable boy and object of young Bella’s affection. He rejected her then, and he’s still not sold on the idea of marrying her now.
It’s complicated.
Though to Bella, it’s simple: make Jack love her, marry her, and live happily ever after. The plan seems to work…at least until her secret is revealed.
Be sure to enter Elizabeth’s CHALLENGE to win some great prizes! |
About the author: Elizabeth is a wife, a mom, and a writer. She has four wonderful boys, one dusty house, and three published books to her credit. Feel free to check them out and buy them HERE! Erm, the books, not the kids or the house…though all things in life are negotiable 😉
Reviews from a Bookworm says
WOW! Those are two beautiful covers 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE World Vision. I've fundraised for them in the past. They're a truly wonderful cause. 🙂

I'm glad to hear July is being good to you. Hopefully August will be as nice.

Beautiful books!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Hi Shelly. Great to see you here.
Lexa Cain says
Congrats to Crystal and Elizabeth! Their covers are lovely!
I'm glad to hear July's going well and that you're writing, reading, hiking and sleeping — not all at the same time, I hope, although that would be adventurous. Speaking of adventure, I loved your 3 chapter lines on FB! I'm dying to know what happened to the clock! 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
Already answered you via email, but what the heck. Here's another one. Am waiting to tackle the melting clock until I have a moment when I'm not melting myself. 🙂
Susan Gourley/Kelley says
Those are two great covers. A good night's sleep is a wonderful thing.
DEZMOND says
Say what, say what? She buys herself a husband? What scandal is this? Scandal, scandal I say….. that being said, I'm open for a sale, and I'm very cheap….. and don't mind being shared …. 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
You are such a liberal! We don't say cheap. We say a valuable possession at a bargain price. 🙂
Joylene Nowell Butler says
I'm seeing Crystal's cover everywhere. That's good.Elizabeth's cover is lovely. Best of luck to both authors.
Theresa Milstein says

Angela Brown says
Getting in reading and writing, supporting a wonderful cause such as literacy and TWO awesome cover reveals? This is a fantastic post that may be celebrating small things but is a BIG one in the wonderful content.
Christine Rains says
Sounds like you're having a really great July. Yay for Crystal and Elizabeth! Love those covers. 🙂
E.J. Wesley says
Sleep! Nothing more important in my life, I think. When I'm sleeping well, I can tackle just about anything. Get me off of my hours and I'm a mess.
I've seen both of these covers everywhere and just adore them. Happy summer, CL! 🙂
Cherie Reich says
Beautiful covers! Have a great weekend, Lee!
Elizabeth Seckman says
Thanks for the shout out! What an excellent way to raise money for a good cause.
Good to know things are going well for you., little things really do mean a lot.
klahanie says
Great post! Thanks for sharing! Following! Oops, I'm in a mad rush, as opposed to a happy rush. In between packing boxes and pleading with my son to help me clean up the house, I'm making a brief visit. Savour my brief visit.
Reading, writing, hiking and sleeping. All at once? Ignore me. Great shout outs to amazing folks. All of them, of course, my adoring fans.
Oops, my email ate your email in regards to that stuff you sent me in regards to your tour, Lee. Could you please forward it to me again. Hopefully, I can get it sorted before my internet connection switches off in the next few days.
Happy Friday and beyond…………
Your starstruckest fan,
Gary 🙂
L.G. Keltner says

Great celebrations. Writing + sleeping = win! Both covers look great!

It's amazing how getting the right amount of sleep makes a world of difference, eh?

Small things can and do make big differences. I am glad that everything is rocking along smoothly in your world.
Love both of these covers!
Stephanie Faris says
The Evernight Teen cause is an awesome one! Does the author still get paid her royalties for the sale, too?
Medeia Sharif says
I love both covers and hope to read both.
C. Lee McKenzie says
You're a super reader, Medeia! Don't know how you do it all.
