Cover for Furry & Freaked




Ta da! I just received my cover from my publisher. (That squeal you heard was me.) I have to say a huge thank you to Leap’s Art Department, amazing! Furry & Freaked is the sequel to Freaksville and in many ways a totally different book. Kasey is growing and so are her powers. She’s alone, without her major support system (at first…don’t panic) and is truly going through her blue period. I really love the blueness of this cover. (Blueness, is that a word? hum, okay if not, I just coined it.) The cover still has the swirl element from the first cover, which I love.

Share your thoughts whatcha think?

So here’s the working blurb. I got permission to post it. I’m doing final edits so a few things might be tweaked.

Sixteen-year-old Kasey Maxwell left Freaksville behind when her family moved from California to rural Pennsylvania. But she didn’t leave her troubles. Being the new chew toy…err, new girl stinks. Her Valkyrie side is growing, and the spirits become more haunting. When her visions turn bloody, Kasey must rely on new support systems--paranormal ones.
Someone at Kasey’s new high school wants to sink their claws into her. A formidable evil rises as the stars align, igniting an ancient feud. Kasey is torn between two loves and two natures--one that heeds the cool whispers of the dead and the other, a fierce predator lurking beneath, lying in wait. She must use all her allies and even her foes to save those she loves--before the moon bleeds.
This isn’t Freaksville: things are about to get a little hairy.

Kitty, this sounds amazing! Love the cover. Not sure if I told you how much I enjoyed reading Freaksville this summer--it was a great beach read.

Good luck with your second book!

Thanks everyone, it does leave some big shoes to fill. I'm going a little darker, but still keeping a smidge of humor, I hope. Here's to starting the cycle all over! Sharing the ride with you all means so much! Big smoochies!
