Ladies and Gentlemen... The Cover Reveal of PRIDE by Rosie Somers

 

Today I'm excited to share the cover of Rosie Somer's debut Novel. Pride is a young adult urban fantasy that will release this summer from Anaiah Press.

 

About Pride:

Seventeen-year-old Gabriella Pierce is used to taking care of herself, but she’s about to become responsible for a whole lot more. When she gets a visit from three men claiming to be defenders of fantastical rings imbued with the powers of THE CARDINAL SINS, her life is changed irrevocably.   Gabby is the steward of PRIDE   To make matters worse, she’s falling hard for fellow steward, Grant Barnett, and he hates her guts. Now Gabby has to learn to protect Pride without letting her feelings for Grant get in the way.

Release Date:

9 September 2014

100 Word Wednesday: "... do NOT open your eyes."

 

As I went to get the rolls out of the oven, he raced in, grabbed me from behind with his hand clamped over my mouth and took me back into the linen closet at the end of the hallway. His breath was swift as he peered around the corner then placed his hand gently on my cheek, "No matter what you hear, no matter how badly you want to, do NOT open your eyes."

I nodded and obeyed, hearing the door shut in front of me.

Then the shouts.

And the gunshots.

I cringed, but didn't open my eyes.

After an eternity, my door opened again. "Lily." his voice shook as he pulled me to him. "It's finally over."

100 Word Wednesday: The Truth About Love Is...

White dress.

Very best.

Heart's desire.

Burning Fire.

Family and friends.

Love never ends.

**~**

Until years passed

at long last,

the love isn't enough anymore.

Bags packed.

Memories sacked.

No good bye.

No sit and cry.

The kids go

Even though

No one knows what will happen or when.

Papers to file.

Full of denial.

Why is this happening?

**~**

A call out of the blue.

I really miss you.

A date

Let's wait...

Please. Go.

**~**

A spark

Still there.

Her lovely blonde hair.

Forgive me. I don't want you to go.

Her head low.

Her hand takes his.

The truth about love is...

100 Word Wednesday: You Find A Box in the Attic That Isn't Yours...

The Box

 

Emma climbed into bed, her husband's back was already turned. Just like always, they were going to bed mad.

Please let him know what it's like to have your heart ripped out.

Finally, she slept and dreamed of a plain wooden box in their attic. A box that didn't belong to her. It thumped and danced across the floor so loudly it woke her with a start.

Just a dream.

The red lights on the clock next to her bed said 2:38. So early.

She rolled on her back and was greeted with a small little imp at the foot of her bed. A grin crossed his lips as he picked red muscle from his razor sharp teeth.

Emma screamed and rolled her husband over to help but found his eyes hollow and a wide hole in his chest where his heart had been.

It had been ripped out.

"Anything else?" The imp asked mischievously.

She paused. "Now that you mention it..."

100 Word Wednesday:You Know What They Say...

 

I haphazardly threw my last shirt into the suitcase and slammed it shut. There, I was ready.

I looked back to see the disapproving look on his face, but he didn't try to stop me. I didn't expect he would.

I drove to where I wanted to be... where I'd be taken care of.

With suitcase in hand, I knocked on the door. After a few knocks, my mother answered.

"Can I have my old room?" I asked.

"Um... you can have the couch." She said as a moving man with boxes walked by me.

You can't go home again.
