Two Cover Reveals

Happy news: As some might know, I've been trying to sell the house I've lived in for the majority of my life so I can move interstate. Well, on the weekend, the house sold! Now hubby and I need to find a new place to live in Queensland, the sunny (and hot) state. Consequently I'm not around the blogsphere this week, but I will be back next week to do the rounds. However, I would very much like to support my fellow writers and share two covers today. One from Crystal Collier and one from SA Larsen.
Motley Education (Book One: The URD Saga) by S.A. Larsen
Due for release on October 10th

Forget having a lively after school social life, Ebony Charmed is fighting to keep the entire Afterlife alive.

Ebony’s less-than-average spirit tracking abilities are ruining more than sixth grade at Motley Junior High: School for the Psychically and Celestially gifted. Her parents argue so much her dad moved out. And, even though he’s scared of his own shadow and insists on bringing his slimy, legless lizard everywhere they go, Ebony wouldn’t survive without her best friend, Fleishman.

When Ebony’s Deadly Creatures and Relics’ project goes missing, she learns her missing project is one of the keys to saving the spirit world. Now Ebony and Fleishman must battle beasts from Norse Mythology to retrieve her project before spirits are lost, the Well of Urd dries up, and Ebony loses all hope of reuniting her family. But someone lies in wait, and he has other plans...including creating a new world of spirits without them in it.

Motley Education has been aligned with Core Standards for grades 4-7. A guide will be available on the author’s website to download for FREE after the book’s release date.

Timeless by Crystal Collier
Due for release on November 1
TIME IS THE ENEMY

In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from becoming.

In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline. As Alexia fights this new threat—along with an unfathomable evil and her own heart—the Soulless genesis nears. But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission.

Can Alexia escape her own clock?

Hi Lynda! I do hope you find a great house in Queensland. I love Brisbane and its surroundings. I've been to Cairns and Port Douglas too. Love the weather, the sea and the trees around these places. My next visit is to Bundaberg and its surrounding areas. I have two author friends living there.

Congrats to Crystal on her awesome cover!

Toi Thomas said...

Congrats on selling your house; a relief I'm sure.
These covers are both really nice, but I think Motley Education speaks to me more.

Congratulations on selling the house! That's awesome. Thank you for sharing my cover. I really appreciate it. Love Crystal's cover.

Denise Covey said...

Great news, Lyn! You'll have to acclimatize. I'm pretty over our hot weather. Thinking of moving to Alaska myself, lol!
Great covers. I shared Crystal's last week. Both covers are so beautiful!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

I hope the acclimatizing happens fast because I'll be moving pretty much straight into their summer. Maybe I'll be lucky and the ice age will happen! ;)

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Carol! And yes, we found a new place!! So exciting! So fast! Eeek!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Elsie.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

A huge and massive relief!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Brisbane is hot but Cairns and Port Douglas are too hot for me. You'll enjoy Bundaberg. It's a little different.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Victoria. It is a hugely stressful time. And now we've found a place too. Next stage is actually moving.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Susan. I was elated!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

We found the place!! It was the 9th place we looked at. So surprised. Woot!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Joylene. I'm am so thrilled. We did find a new place. It will be such a change of lifestyle.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Natalie

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Hilary. I'm so thrilled we sold too. It was shaky there for a while.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Diane

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

A huge weight. Thanks, Alex.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Happy news: we found a place. We might need that luck moving, though. Interstate is tough!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Sheri!! You are most welcome. I love both covers.

Theresa Milstein said...

I combined their cover reveals last week too! And here I was thinking I was so clever...

DEZMOND said...

Congrats to Crystal!

Crystal Collier said...

Yay! Here's your virtual cheese basket to celebrate.

Jen said...

These are both wonderful covers and both stories sound interesting! Thanks for sharing. Best of luck on your move! It's always exciting (and a bit nerve-wracking) to go on a new move adventure! I hope you find your new home soon. Cheers!

~ Jen

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

We are both clever... ;)
Well, I'm only clever sometimes. I almost put the milk in the cupboard again recently.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks Jen. It is very exciting and nerve-wracking all at once. An adventure is the right way to put it.

Terri Tiffany said...

I have not been on here in so long so this is news! Moving! I do feel for you as change is hard but you will get through it. It always takes me about three months to feel at home any place new so hang in there! Will pray for you!
