Cover Reveal: Now That You're Here by Amy K. Nichols
About NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE: Danny and Eevee are meant to be together . . .
Just not in this universe.
About
Amy Nichols: Amy has been
crafting stories for as long as she can remember. She earned a Master's in
literature and worked for years as a web designer, though, before realizing
what she really wanted to be was an author. Her first novel, YA sci-fi thriller
Now That You're Here, will be published by Knopf Books for Young Readers
on December 9, 2014. The follow-up, While You Were Gone, will be
published in 2015. She is mentored by award-winning crime novelist James
Sallis.
Eevee Solomon has high school down to a
science. Get the grades. Get the recommendations. Get into an Ivy League
college, and eventually land a killer job at NASA.
Then Danny Ogden enters the equation.
Danny is a street-smart graffiti
artist. He’s always managed to stay out of serious trouble, but this time he’s
out of luck. One minute he’s running from the cops, and the next, he jolts
awake in an unfamiliar body–his own, but different. Somehow, he’s crossed into
a parallel universe. Now his friends are his enemies, his parents are long
dead, and coolheaded Eevee is not the brazen girl he once kissed back home.
Then again, this Eevee may be his only hope of getting home.
Eevee tells herself she’s only helping
him in the name of quantum physics, but there’s something undeniably
fascinating about this boy from another dimension . . . a boy who makes her
question who she is, and who she might be in another place and time.

Cover Reveal: The Fine Art of Pretending by Rachel Harris
A friend of mine Rachel Harris has another fabulous release coming out this year. It's a great YA Contemporary that I highly recommend.
Release Date: September 30, 2014
Author: Rachel Harris
Publisher: Spencer Hill Contemporary
According to the guys at Fairfield Academy, there are two types of girls: the kind you hook up with, and the kind you're friends with. Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Reed is the second type. And she hates it. With just one year left to change her rank, she devises a plan to become the first type by homecoming, and she sets her sights on the perfect date—Justin Carter, Fairfield Academy’s biggest hottie and most notorious player.
With 57 days until the dance, Aly launches Operation Sex Appeal and sheds her tomboy image. The only thing left is for Justin actually to notice her. Enter best friend Brandon Taylor, the school’s second biggest hottie, and now Aly’s pretend boyfriend. With his help, elevating from “funny friend” to “tempting vixen” is only a matter of time.
But when everything goes according to plan, the inevitable “break up” leaves their friendship in shambles, and Aly and Brandon with feelings they can’t explain. And the fake couple discovers pretending can sometimes cost you the one thing you never expected to want.
