Special Post!
When seventeen-year-old Ashley Watson walks through the halls of her high school bullies taunt her and shove her.
She can't go a day without fighting with her mother.
And no matter how hard she tires, she can't make her best friend, Matt, fall in love with her.
But Ashley also has something no one else does: a literal glimpse into the future.
When Ashley looks into the mirror she can see her twenty-three-year-old self.
Her older self has been through it all already- she endured the bullying, survived the heartbreak, and heard every word her classmates threw at her.
But her older self is also keeping a dark secret: Something terrible is about to happen to Ashley.
Something that will change her life forever.
Something even her older self is powerless to stop.

Everyone is exactly like me.
There is no one like me.
Ven wrestles with those contradicting truths everyday.
A clone of wealthy eighteen-year-old Raven Rogen, Ven knows everything about the girl she was created to serve: the clothes she wears, the boys she loves, the friends she loves to hate.
Yet she's never met the Authentic Raven face-to-face.
Imitations like Ven only get to leave the lab when they're needed- to replace a dead Authentic, donate an organ, or complete a specific mission.
And Raven has never needed Ven... until now.
When there is an attack on Raven's life, Ven is thrust into the real world, posing as Raven to draw-out the people who tired to harm her.
But as Ven dives deeper into Raven's world, she begins to question everything she was ever told.
She exists for Raven, but is she prepared to sacrifice herself for a girl she's never met?

The Dominion of Atalanta is at war.
But for eighteen-year-old Aris, the fighting is nothing more than a distant nightmare, she watches on news vids from the safety of her idyllic seaside town.
Then her boyfriend, Calix, is drafted into the Military, and the nightmare becomes a dangerous reality.
Left behind Aris has nothing to fill her days.
Even flying her wingjet- the thing she loves most, aside from Calix- feels meaningless without him by her side.
So when she's recruited to be a pilot for an elite search-and-rescue unit, she leaps at the chance, hoping she'll be stationed near Calix.
But there's a catch: She must disguise herself as a man named Aristos.
There are no women in the Atalantan Military, and there never will be.
Aris gives up everything to find Calix: her home.
Her Family.
Even her identity.
Even her identity.
But as the war rages on, Aris discovers she's fighting for much more than her relationship.
With each injured person she rescues and each violent battle she survives, Aris is becoming a true solider- and the best flyer in the Atalantan Military.
She's determined to save her Dominion...or die trying.

On top of these three books releasing today there is a very special announcement that concerns the publisher. I have the official Press Release here now to share with you.
Alloy Entertainment Launches New Digital-First Imprint with Amazon Publishing
First three books release today
SEATTLE—(NASDAQ: AMZN)—July 29, 2014—Today, Amazon Publishing and Alloy Entertainment, a division of Warner Bros. Television Group, announced a digital-first imprint that will focus on young adult, new adult and commercial fiction. The new imprint, named Alloy Entertainment, will be part of Amazon Publishing’s Powered by Amazon program. Powered by Amazon enables publishers and authors to leverage Amazon’s global distribution and personalized, targeted marketing reach.
Today also marks the publication date for the imprint’s first three titles:
· Imitation by Heather Hildenbrand, which follows Ven, the clone of a wealthy, 18-year-old named Raven. Imitations like Ven only leave the lab when their Authentics need them—to replace the dead, be an organ donor, or in Ven’s case, serve as bait when Raven’s life is threatened. It is Ven’s job to draw out Raven’s assailants, but she must decide if she is prepared to sacrifice herself for a girl she has never met.
· Every Ugly Word by Aimee Salter, a coming-of-age story about a teenager named Ashley who sees her 23-year-old self when she looks in the mirror. Her older self has been through it all before, and helps Ashley survive torment from high school bullies, unrequited love for her best friend and a volatile relationship with her mom. But her older self also carries the scars of a terrible and imminent event in Ashley’s life that she’s powerless to stop.
· Rebel Wing by Tracy Banghart, a sci-fi fantasy adventure set in the war-torn Dominion of Atalanta. For Aris, the fighting is worlds away from the safety of her seaside town until her boyfriend Calix is drafted into the military. When Aris herself is recruited to become a pilot for an elite search-and-rescue unit, she leaps at the chance, hoping to be reunited with Calix. But what starts as mission driven by love turns into one of duty as Aris becomes a true soldier determined to save her Dominion…or die trying.
Alloy Entertainment acquired the books based on the unique voices of the authors and originality of the stories. The company worked closely with each of the writers throughout the publishing process in an effort to gain the widest possible readership. The books will be published under the Alloy Entertainment publishing banner, which currently includes more than 75 New York Times bestsellers.
“One of our strengths is working with talented authors to create and develop properties that have mass entertainment appeal,” said Leslie Morgenstein, President of Alloy Entertainment. “This program is an exciting extension of our business and will allow us to leverage Amazon’s ability to distribute to an incredibly diverse and broad readership.”
"Rebel Wing is the book of my heart. It’s a story I felt compelled to tell, both from the perspective of an Army wife and as someone who believes you can never have enough strong female characters in the world," said author Tracy Banghart. "Being given the opportunity to work with the incredibly talented folks at Alloy to make it the best version of itself was an exciting and affirming process, and knowing that its distribution will be handled by Amazon—a company that has already made so much possible for me as an indie author—is pretty much the definition of win-win as far as I’m concerned."
“Alloy has a tremendous track record developing stories, like Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and The Vampire Diaries, that our customers love,” said Jeff Belle, Vice President of Amazon Publishing. “We’re thrilled to promote these books from Alloy Entertainment with our Powered by Amazon program. It’s a great fit.”
Authors who publish with Alloy Entertainment’s new digital-first imprint receive an advance and royalties paid on a monthly basis. Alloy Entertainment will also look for opportunities to develop acquired titles as television series, feature films, and digital entertainment.
