Yes, I'm still on hiatus and will be for the rest of this month.
BUT!
BUT!
I needed to stop by today because it is my good friend Rena Rocford's cover reveal for her forthcoming book ACNE, ASTHMA AND OTHER SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE HALF DRAGON!
And I have seen this cover. And it is glorious! And wonderful! And I cannot wait to get my copy of the book so I can stroke it's prettiness whenever I want.
It's just that awesome guys.
Don't believe me? Well take a look!
WHAT DID I TELL YOU?
Isn't it magical and wonderful? Don't you love her hair? Her scales? The crown? *squees a little and makes excited fists*
What's the book about, you ask? Well, keep reading!
Allyson fights acne, not trolls. As an inhaler-carrying member of the asthma society, she just wants to meet the father who turned her mother into a paranoid, move-across-the-nation freak. Now she’s trying to fit in at yet another school, but for the first time in her life, she has a best friend, Beth. When Allyson accidentally spits fire at kidnappers in the mall, she realizes why her father isn’t in the picture: she’s half dragon. Her acne? Emerging scales. Her asthma? The side effects of her dragon’s fire breath. Instead of freaking out, unflappable Beth reveals her own troll heritage and explains how things work with the supernatural creatures hiding within the modern world of smartphones and skyscrapers.
When trolls kidnap a unicorn, Beth gets blamed. Allyson is determined to prove Beth’s innocence and keep her friend off the unicorn chopping block. When they start looking for the kidnappers, they get a call from the last person they expect: Allyson’s father. He tries to warn them off, but he’s been put under a spell by the kidnappers to keep the victims from escaping. Nothing short of death can stop him. Now Allyson must choose between killing the father she’s always dreamed of, or letting her best friend die for a crime she didn’t commit.
And who is Rena? Well see below!
Like most mad scientists, Rena Rocford’s early works were largely met with scorn and mockery, but she bided her time. After all, what did her fellow kindergarteners know about literature? From that day forward, Rena kept her writing on the mythical back burner as she pursued more logical goals. Today, crayons. Tomorrow, the world. She moved on to essays and egg drops, followed by experiments in shady laboratories. She tried her hand at everything, learning from anyone who would teach her. She even moonlighted as a horseback riding instructor.
Admittedly, living as a muggle brought Rena some levels of success such as completing her master’s degree, but always the stories returned, calling her to the keyboard in the dark of night. Now, having built armies from words, Rena has set her sights on world domination, one book at a time.
From her secret base in the wine country, Rena has enlisted the help of her cats, her loyal dogs, and her family―who can be relied upon to hide the launch codes at a moment’s notice.
You can find Rena at her blog, follow her on Twitter, GoodReads, or find her on Facebook. Her debut novel, Acne, Asthma, and Other Signs You Might Be Half Dragon comes out November 23rd, 2015.

The cover is gorgeous! But I'm sure you didn't mean to call Rena you're 'goof' friend, or did you? LOL.
Just teasing.
And here I wrote 'you’re' instead of 'your'. ROTFL!
I’m the goof!
Hope your hiatus is going great.
Great cover and funny title!
Thanks for showing off my cover for me!!! (and I'm totally cool being your goof friend--truth in advertising!)
This sounds great! I love dragons!
