Pretty Cover Is Pretty

How pretty is the UK cover for Spellbound? I love her dress. Is this how you guys pictured Emma? I have to say, she’s pretty close to what I was picturing! And yes, that is Belvedere Castle in the background.

I want her dress!

Spellcaster & Illuminate Winner Announcement!

Thanks to everyone who entered my joint giveaway with Aimee Agresti! We got some incredibly thoughtful and insightful questions—we had a tough time picking out a question for Emma and a question for Illuminate‘s heroine, Haven, to answer. You guys rock!

And now, without further ado, here’s the winning question (and Emma’s answer!), asked by DARSHANA CHANDER.

Why is it, that even after knowing that your love is doomed, you still fought for it? Why not give up?

Giving up was never an option. I’ll never give up, no matter how tempting it can be to hide under the covers and eat cookies. And I love cookies. So much has happened to me that was out of my control, but I had faith that this was something I could beat. It had to be. Plus, I knew I could count on Brendan to have my back. He’s good like that.   —Emma

Thanks for such a great question, Darshana! You’ve won signed copies of Spellcaster and Illuminate! Make sure to check out Aimee’s site to read Haven’s answer to the winning question.

If you didn’t win, there will be PLENTY of opportunities to snag a copy of Spellcaster! I’m doing another book tour with the fabulous Kismet Book Touring, so stay tuned for more interviews, giveaways and fun content!

And don’t forget to pick up Aimee’s book, Illuminate! It hits March 6, and it’s fantastic! I’ve read it, but I’ll get a copy too, just so I can pet that cover. So pretty.

Valentine’s Day Quote Reveal!

Hey guys! I just got a big box of pretty in the mail over the weekend! Spellcaster will be out in just a month and a half. So in honor of my shipment of books—and a certain holiday that rhymes with Schmalentine’s Schmay—I thought it would be fun to share a quote from a certain witchy soul mate! Check it out after the jump—and since I now have a hard copy of Spellcaster in my hands, I can tell you this quote comes from page 140. Check it out after the jump!
