Cover Reveal Of "The Charismatics"

Gotta love those YouTube thumbnails (cue heavy sarcasm. I hate YouTube, obviously).

Are you ready for the cover? Are you? ARE YOU?!

Patience, grasshopper. Patience. First I want to share this video interview with you, another blog hop I was invited to participate in by the talented David Bruns. (I read one of his science fiction novellas called "The Yesterday Adjustment" a few weeks ago--WOW! So well-written, with an exciting James Bond vibe.) I will be handing off the blog to my award-winning friend, Ryan Hill, author of Dead New World and The Book Of Bart.

AND if you want to see me get legit teary-eyed, be sure to watch until 6:21. #getittogetherAshley. Yes, my cover designer's amazing artwork made me cry yesterday. Also, I love how in the "serious" moment of my quote reading, my dog is chasing her tail in the background. Way to enrich the moment, Nika.
The questions I answer are as follows:
1.  Include a quote that you like.
2. Why do you create what you do?
3. How does your creative process work?
4. How does your work differ from others in your genre?
5. What are you working on right now?

So do you want to see the final front cover art to "The Charismatics?"

Do you?











Did you subscribe to my newsletter yet?

















Did you ENTER FOR A FREE E-BOOK OF "The Charismatics" before it releases yet?!














DID YOU FIND ME A HOT SEXY BOYFRIEND YET?! (Okay, I'll let this one slide.)



Here she is my friends, in all her glory. "The Charismatics," my debut novel, has a cover. And it is GLORIOUS, if I do say so myself. Once you begin to read the book you will see what ALL the symbols mean (because everything has a meaning), and I think readers will enjoy that. Thank you M.S. Corley, for making me cry yesterday.

Get the steampunk vibes?! Any thoughts? Are you excited now? Do you really want to enter my giveaway now? And guess what ... I'm planning on doing a NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTION ONLY signed printed copy giveaway, probably in January. So get signed up already, and make this writer a happy, happy girl! (I'm almost to 75 people!)
And just a heads up, I am having a special BACK COVER designed for printed copies too, so keep that in mind come December 13th. It will be of a map that is a pivotal part of the novel, so pretty exciting.

Also, for those of you who received my short story, "Cruel," I would be INDEBTED to you if you would leave me a review at Goodreads or Amazon with your honest opinion. The more reviews I can get, the more people will hear about my work and be interested in it. Help make my dreams come true!
And as always...keep writing and keep dreaming!
