Thanks to #10kByLaborDay I added more to the story I'm writing.
Naturally the story still is not done. I have a goal wordcount in mind and I think what I have left is just what I need to get the story done. Then I will revise it until certain spots are perfect to me. Then I will send to CP and beta readers.
We shall see how it all goes

Cover Reveal: Fragile Reign by Stacey O'Neale
FRAGILE REIGN Cover Reveal
– Assets
A good friend of mine Stacey O'Neale is releasing the second book in her urban fantasy series.
FRAGILE REIGN (Mortal Enchantment #2)
It’s
been a week since all hell broke loose…
Rumors of King Taron’s weakened powers have left the
air court vulnerable. Kalin is desperate to awaken her akasha powers, except
she doesn’t know how. Tension within the court is at an all-time high. Pressure
is mounting for her to ascend to the throne, but a halfling has never ruled
over any court. To solidify her position, the council has advised her to marry
Sebastian—a high ranking air elemental she’s never met and her
betrothed.
Will
Kalin sacrifice her relationship with Rowan to strengthen her court?
Rowan
and Marcus return to a fire court in turmoil. Liana’s death has fueled the fire
elementals’ distrust against the air and woodland courts. The unbalanced
elements have set off natural disasters all over the mortal world. Rowan takes
the throne to restore balance, promising to unite the fire court. But not all
elementals are happy with his leadership. Many are secretly loyal to Valac,
which means Rowan needs to find allies for his cause.
Can
Rowan unify the court of fire before the elements destroy the world?

Cover Reveal: Something About Love by Elana Johnson
Dystopia author Elana Johnson has a new book releasing September 15!
About SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE: High school senior Olivia Winging gave up
her love of photography when she gave up her boyfriend, Trevor Youngblood, a
year and a half ago. She broke things off with Trevor because her mom married
his dad, and dating your step-brother? Creepy.
Livvy hasn’t been on good terms with her mother since, and one of her stipulations for staying at the Youngblood’s every other weekend is that Trevor can’t be there. When she gets nominated for the Junior Photography in Excellence award, Trevor insists she enter. She agrees—only if every photo in the portfolio can be of him. Knowing that Livvy can capture a person’s deepest secrets through her lens, Trevor hesitates before accepting the deal.
As Livvy gets behind the lens of her camera again, her love of photography is rekindled. Unfortunately, the time she spends with Trevor also re-ignites the old flame for him she’s kept smothered for so long.
In order for Livvy to finish her portfolio, she’ll have to face her feelings for Trevor as well as deal with the animosity between her and her mother. Livvy’s always been able to capture a person’s soul from behind the camera—but she’s not sure she likes it when the lens is suddenly focused on her. If she can’t find a way to forgive her mother and admit how she feels about Trevor, Livvy may end up losing more than just the photography contest. She could lose her heart.

Praise for Elana’s first verse novel, Elevated:
“The taut poetry keeps tension high. The plot is deftly
paced, as past intrudes on present, like a photograph emerging in developing
fluid.” ~San Francisco Book Review
“Every word Johnson writes carries an emotional heft that lifts readers up to the highest happiness and then sends them crashing down to the depths of despair. It is easy to flow from the first word to the last without ever putting down the book. Johnson shows outstanding talent in this form, and her words are beautiful, important and deeply felt.” ~The Deseret News
