Jessica Spotswood revealed the paperback cover to Born Wicked! What do you guys think? I'm a little torn as I really like the hardback cover, but this cover is just as cool. Love the moon in the back ground and all the birds. Head over to Jessica's site to leave her a comment, and enter her giveaway.

Cassie was just one of a many authors who had posted and tweeted about yesterday's Spirit Day. Wearing purple yesterday meant you were taking a stand against bulling of LGBT youth. Though the 19th has already passed, October is AntiBullying month and I feel it's important to still bring this day and the info posted to below to light here on the blog. No one deserves to be bullied!


Spirit Day  is October 19th this year!  Millions of Americans will wear purple to speak out against bullying and to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. Join in!
