celebration time…come on!

24 Comments

Who knows what today, February 26, 2013 is?

If you guessed that eight years ago today, Halle Berry accepted the Razzie award for her portrayal of Catwoman, you’re close.

If you say it’s Johnny Cash’s birthday, you’re getting warmer.

If you guess that it’s ONE MONTH until the release of ABBY ROAD, you’re exactly right!

How can I let a momentous day like this pass without some celebrating and giveaways?

How to enter. It’s super easy. Just leave me a quicky comment saying your favorite Beatles song. (Abby LOVES the Beatles, by the way. You’ll see!) If you don’t have a favorite, just throw one out there. It might be a goodie. If you don’t like the Beatles, I don’t want to know about it….this is a CELEBRATION, people!  And don’t forget to leave your email addy so I can give you the good news!
 
I’m going to pick a winner tomorrow at the stroke of twelve noon CST (or sometime around there in case I step out for some TexMex. I’ve been craving that lately). The winner will be chosen at random and will received a SIGNED COPY of ABBY ROAD and some other delicious bookery swag! 

If you need some Beatles inspiration, here is one of my favorites. Enjoy and rock on!

Man, isn’t she so cute? Smiling away like that. A year ago, she had no idea….
what real deadlines feel like,
that she will never sleep the same again,
that Twitter is actually an awesome place to hang out, 
that she could feel stress, frustration, betrayal, joy and gratitude simultaneously,
what it’s like to cry over cutting a whole scene for the better of the manuscript,
that adding two pages about riding up in an elevator could be so smexy,
how energized she will feel while proofreading a final galley at 2 in the morning,
how thrilling it will be to see her name after the copyright symbol,
that having her words reviewed–for better or worse–is a true blessing,
who her real friends are. And she had many!

Relive the BIG DAY here. And then have a cupcake!

reliving happy news never gets old

1 Comment

One year ago today. . . .

I received an email from the Managing Editor of Entangled Publishing that read:

“Just to let you know, there are two of us who can’t wait to see ABBY ROAD…  This is seriously the cutest story and voice ever!”

(One of those interested became my editor!)

All these months later, I can still remember how excited I was that, first, I managed to get out of the dreaded slush pile, and second, that someone in the publishing know actually liked what I’d written.

It thrills me even today to know my sweetest book will be hitting real life shelves across the country in just 75 short days. Yes, I’m counting! 🙂

"Abby Road" – cover reveal!

Leave a comment
At loooong last!

***coming to a bookseller near you on March 26, 2013*** 
(in the meantime…)
Pre-order linky-links:

Is she on your Goodreads list yet?

Touted by the tabloids as the biggest rock star of our generation, Abigail Kelly is used to being in the spotlight. But beyond the glam of Hollywood, her world is falling apart. Still reeling from the death of her brother and wilting under the iron fist of Max, her manager, Abby banishes herself to the secluded beaches of Florida for the summer, thinking some anonymity and sunshine are just what she needs. What she finds, instead, is Todd, an ex-marine eager to embrace life after war. Together, Abby and Todd find the balance Abby’s life has been missing.

That is, until Max resurfaces, demanding Abby return to Los Angeles to record her band’s newest album. As the pressures of public appearances, paparazzi, and late-night recordings start to mount, Abby will have to risk everything or lose the life she always dreamed of.

Ophelia London’s ABBY ROAD is a love letter to music—both the kind you cherish and the kind you create—as well as a beautiful love story that proves even when everyone in the world can recognize your face, the only people who matter are those who can see inside your heart.

And have I mentioned Playing at Love lately? 
Go grab her HERE & HERE!
