~ECHOES OF BALANCE~

A while back (HERE, actually), I introduced you to REUTS PUBLICATIONS, a group of young ladies with fiery passion for writing and publishing. Since then, they've revamped their site, staff, and goals and are excited to announce their first official young adult release as publishers this December. I am honored to be the only site releasing this reveal, today. Thank you, ladies...

Here's their first cover reveal from their first author. Yay! I'm all coo-coo for that gown. Gorgeous! 

ECHOES OF BALANCE by Cally Ryanne

Genre: YA Paranormal/Paranormal Romance

Publisher: Reuts Publications

Release Date: December 17, 2013

Description: For Chloe Moraine,  fighting wild bears--and the occasional vampire--is a better pastime than the tediousness of keeping the universe in balance. But balancing is the family business. It comes with being one of the last in the ancient line of Naimei. 

So when the impending return of the Original Demons threatens global harmony,  Chloe is obligated to help. Even when that means the dull-as-dirt task of following a human girl who “might be involved,  maybe, ” instead of the thrilling hunt she craves.

With their powerful magic and ancient Ways,  Chloe’s family is unconcerned,  certain they’ll quickly fix the imbalance while she’s preoccupied with human high school. But when the Ways start to fail,  the threat becomes more serious,  and the only person that seems to know anything is a debonair vampire with an offer to help.

If Chloe chooses to trust him,  and the darker side of the supernatural he represents,  she’ll betray her family and risk losing them,  and herself,  in the process. But if he’s right,  he may just be their only chance to stop the return of the Originals and save the world.

Maybe high school won't be so boring after all.

New Literary Journal Released!!

Haven't heard of Vine Leaves Literary Journal?

Well, today is the day the creators of VLLJ released their first collection of vignette pieces.

What's a vignette, you ask?

By definition, a vignette is something that can be written on a vine leaf--a snapshot of a story. A vignette focuses on one element setting or mood, character or object, not on structure or plot. Now, this is not a form of writing that is often recognized by most in the literary world; however, there are those who view it as an art form and want to give it the limelight it deserves.

The journal is the brain child of Authors Jessica Bell and Dawn  Ius. Both are experienced in the field of publishing, editing, and of course, writing. These woman are passionate about what they do and seek to find the best writing out there. THIS  is Issue #1, Vine Leaves Literary Journal, and I'm sure there will be more to come. Click above or HERE to read the journal.

You'll also find a list of their Contributors. If you look closely, you might even find my name there. Haha...yes you will! Granted, this was my first stab at writing a vignette. But with a little editing, my submission was accepted! Writing in this form made me think out of my traditional box and view writing in an altered way. It made me more sensitive, which is a plus in my book.

Please visit their Blog, and follow them on Facebook and Twitter (@VineLeavesLJ) for all upcoming news, submissions, and releases.

Ooh, and have you signed up for my Rebel Writer's Blogfest, yet?? I'd love to have you. SIGN UP HERE!!
