COVER REVEAL: Greta and the Goblin King by Chloe Jacobs

So you all know who Chloe Jacobs is, right? She's...me!!! And she's writing dark fantasy for young adults!

I'm excited to reveal to everyone the cover and blurb to you for GRETA AND THE GOBLIN KING, which is due out in the world November 2012!

Blurb:

While trying to save her brother four years ago, Greta was thrown into the witch’s fire herself, falling through a portal to a dangerous world where humans are the enemy, and every ogre, goblin, and ghoul has a dark side that comes out with the full moon.

To survive, seventeen-year-old Greta has hidden her humanity and taken the job of bounty hunter—and she’s good at what she does. So good, she’s caught the attention of Mylena’s young Goblin King, the darkly enticing Isaac, who invades her dreams and undermines her determination to escape.

But Greta’s not the only one looking to get out of Mylena. The full moon is mere days away, and an ancient evil knows she’s the key to opening the portal. If Greta fails, she and the lost boys of Mylena will die. If she succeeds, no world will be safe from what follows her back…

A Moment Out of Time

From my new work in progress...

"There’s a moment in every situation when time slows. Even the air stops moving. It’s the moment just before the moment of no return. You could still turn around and go back. Return to the life you had before, and pretend this moment never existed. But the trouble is, if you speak just one more word, take one step forward, if you let go of that moment for even a fraction of a second…that’s it. It’s gone. You fall headlong into the future.

Whether you want to or not."

Who has experienced that moment of no return? Did you know at the time there'd be no going back? Did you rush toward the future, or hesitate?

Lucky Seven

Ok, so I've been tagged to do this thing called "Lucky 7" where you go to page seven of your current writing project, scroll to the seventh paragraph, and post seven lines. Here you go, from my contemporary romance, which is currently called LOVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

Still distracted by naked thoughts, he had only three of his shirt buttons undone when there was a quick knock on his change room door. 

“Hey, heads up. I’m coming in.”

“You’re what?” Peter quickly plastered himself against the back wall of the small space to avoid get bashed in the nose with the door as it swung inward. Ana slipped in with him, wearing nothing but her jeans and a purple bra—not lace, but a shimmery satin that accentuated her golden skin. 

She looked a hell of a lot better in living color than the picture his mind had been busy conjuring up.

“Holy hell, woman,” he whistled, forcing his eyes up to her face before he embarrassed himself, or did something stupid like push her up against the wall and bury his face between those perfect breasts. “What are you doing in here?” 

Since my alter ego, Chloe Jacobs, has also been tagged, you can go here to see her Lucky 7! 

Plodding Along

I've been editing for ... a while. I can't quite remember when I started. I'm not really sure how much longer it's going to take.

I do know that I still like this book. Actually, I like it quite a bit more now than I did before. I think that the changes I'm making are really enhancing character and depth, and it's exciting.

The other thing keeping me going is the awesome cover I got to peek at. It's not official, and I have been warned it's going to change, but I still like it, so I have it as my wallpaper on the laptop and I check it out every once in a while.

Oh, and I think we have a release date for Greta. December 2012. It seems so long, but with all the work I have to do on this, and book 2 ... and the other books on my plate for this year ... I'm sure it will be here in no time.

As soon as the edit is done, I'll post a snippet or two!

Talk soon!

She's alive! Alive!!

Chloe Jacobs is alive! How do I know...she's got a website! And a Twitter feed! Not to mention a Facebook account and a Goodreads profile!

LOL

If only that was really the measure to go by, right?

True, Chloe Jacobs technically isn't real. I mean, not according to any official census or birth registry. But she's real to me because she's writing from my head, telling the stories that live in me. It doesn't really matter what name she uses, at least not from the creative perspective. But in other respects it does, which is why I'm posting this--because while I'm obviously not hiding the fact that I am now going to be writing under two different names, I still think there should be a separation between the two different focuses and I just want to make sure that doesn't create any confusion as time goes on.

I hope everyone is going to love Chloe and the stories she tells!
