Cover Reveal for MASQUERADE: ODDLY SUITED #YA #Romance

It's been a thrill getting to know a new group of authors who wrote short stories for the upcoming anthology, Masquerade: Oddly Suited . I love their fun marketing ideas, like sharing puzzle pieces of the cover over the weekend before the cover reveal today. The anthology features young adult romance with a masquerade/mask theme. Dancing Lemur Press specializes in speculative fiction, and I believe many of the stories are fantasy, paranormal, or supernatural. The cover certainly has an other-worldly feel!

Cover Reveal: THE REINVENTION OF JINX HOWELL by @Nancee_Cain

But this girl with a switchblade has more hang-ups than he does, which is a hell of a lot. When tragedy strikes, Mark’s hit-and-run lifestyle takes a backseat to his need to protect the broken girl

#IWSG Young Adult Romance Anthology MASQUERADE: ODDLY SUITED

Happy New Year to all writers! I'm vacationing in Florida this week so I've abdicated all responsibility, including a timely post. Today we went to Universal and I walked 23,000 steps! But I'm especially excited to share that my short story was selected for the next IWSG anthology, Masquerade: Oddly Suited .  When I first learned of the anthology's young adult romance / masquerade theme, a vision of smoldering blue eyes behind a catcher's mask came to me. I built on that image to write a YA sports romance involving a baseball catcher and a softball pitcher. Congratulations to all authors who submitted. Here's the list of titles for the anthology:   Oddly Suited by LG Keltner Sea of Sorrows by AV Brown Behind the Catcher’s Mask by Jennifer Lane A Diver’s Ball by Angela Brown Fearless Heart by Deborah Solice The Dark Charade by CD Gallant-King The Cog Prince by Elizabeth Mueller Flower of Ronda by Myles Christensen Rem
