A double whammy folks! Two covers both by amazing authors. Funny enough I met Stephanie through Elizabeth having a giveaway on my blog and we visited each other through the A-Z Blogging Challenge. Both of these ladies have amazing covers today and whether you love romance gone awry or wayward Southern Belles, there is a book here for you today. Enjoy!
25 Roses by Stephanie Faris
Summary: Valentine's Day means one thing at Stanton Middle School: students will send each other chocolate roses. Each year, Mia Hartley watches while the same group of students gets roses and everyone else is left out. This year, she decides things will be different. As the student assigned to write names on the cards, Mia purchases 25 roses and writes her own cards, designating them to 25 people she's personally chosen. But she soon learns that playing matchmaker is much more complicated than she thought it would be.

Did you know? Robert E. Lee, the most prominent Confederate general, had his Northern home confiscated during the Civil War and turned into a cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery is still the resting place for America's fallen service men and women.
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.

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 ;)

Last month I took part in the A-Z Blogging Challenge last month. While I was unable to complete some of the letters I ensured to be back for Z and on a whole it was a wonderful experience visiting other blogs and having readers/bloggers coming by my own. What wasn't so wonderful was the fact that I got sick. Then just as I was getting better at the end of the challenge I caught another bug. This one is similar as the one I caught in December and is pretty nasty. I didn't even do any washing Tuesday because I was just too sick and pained to bother. At least I ensured to get my mother's day gift Monday so matter what happens it is gift wrap and ready for her on that very special day.
What my insecurity is this month is that I am concerned about getting sick more often. At first I thought things were getting better but now it has reared it's ugly head again. I am nearly ready to get my own laptop and while I'm grateful to have my own computer in time for Junowrimo I still wonder how everything will work out if I am sick all the time. My writing has suffered a lot and my ghost writing gig only gets done sometimes only because each assignment is set with a time limit. But once when I could do a five day gig in one to two days I barely get it in on the fourth. This worries me because sometimes I just end up going to bed because I'm just too sick to work on it. None of my work ends up late but I can' t work anywhere near the pace I'm used to any more. I guess I just want to figure out how to work through this. Though I guess I just have to work through it or despite it. I'm no quitter but this more than a drag. This is my health and I am worried. Wish me luck and pray for me.
Oh and if you're wondering, yes I did forget about IWSG and just added this early Wednesday morning. But I did skip last month and no way am I losing my spot. Thanks Alex and co-host for such a wonderful meme.
