Cover Reveal: Wrecked (Clayton Falls #3) by Alyssa Rose Ivy

In October, I had the pleasure of revealing the hot cover for Alyssa’s second book in the Clayton Falls series, Veer. Being the dorky cover-lover that I am, I tripped over my feet again when the opportunity came up to reveal the cover for the next book, Wrecked. This is for Jake, the brother of last book’s hero, Ben – and the guy who went from a pain in the butt in the first book to an intriguing, reckless and…dare I say, sexy beast, in the last book.

So prepare yourself to drool away as you behold the gorgeousness of another cover by the talented Once Upon a Time Covers:

Wrecked

Guest Post by Alyssa Rose Ivy – A Day in the Life

As part of the tour to kick off the release of Veer, the second book in her Clayton Falls series, Alyssa Rose Ivy stopped by Basia’s Bookshelf and offered to some pass along some thoughts. As a formerly (ha!) stressed out mom, I had to know, what’s her day like and how does she get any writing done?!

One of the best, yet most difficult parts of being an author is the flexibility to make your own schedule. It’s the best, because it allows you to work it around the other aspects of your life. It’s difficult for the very same reason. As a mother of two young children (a 3 ½ year old, and a 14 month old), I usually build my day around them. My typical day usually looks like this:

6:00 – 8:30 – Wake up and get kids ready for the day

8:30-9:30 – Get my daughter to preschool

9:30-11:30 – Find ways to entertain my son/ try to work through storylines in my head/try to catch up on emails/social media

11:30-12:30 – Pick up my daughter from preschool

12:30-2:00 – Entertain both kids

2:00-3:00 – My son naps, and I help my daughter do some sort of quiet activity so I can possibly write

3:00-8:00 – Family time/dinner/ bedtime etc.

8:00 – It’s finally time to write!

Ah, relief. Finally back to a New Adult book! I really have missed reading this category, I hope in 2013 there are a flood of authors who pick up the trend and there are a huge number of books to read about 20-somethings. I was glad to be back in Clayton Falls to see what the gang was up to and get another story. Derailed was good in a sweet, ultra-angsty and tormented sort of way and I wanted to know what Ivy was going to come up with for Gavin and Becca. More sweet, ultra-angsty and tormented was on the menu, in a slightly shorter package.
