Check out the cover for my new book...

[WillParkinson]

It was done by the amazing Reese Dante (http://www.reesedante.com if you want to see her other works).



This will be my first paperback book and I'm just DYING here.

3. I'm embarrassed....I was so excited about the cover I forgot the blurb...

Taylor Andrews fell for Jackson Kern the first time he saw him. Only thing is, Taylor is in the closet, too scared to make a move. And when he finally gets up the nerve to approach the young athlete, a fellow student is only too keen to share Jackson’s true feelings for Taylor – and Taylor’s heart is broken. Although Taylor tells his best friend Benny that he intends to stay away from Jackson, he keeps finding himself drawn to the places where Jackson is, whether it's the baseball diamond or volunteering for the student council. Taylor just can’t keep away. And the realization that he’s in love with Jackson makes it so much worse.

Knowing that Jackson will never be with him, Taylor tries to go on with his life. Into his world walks Kevin Richards, a charming young man who will turn his world inside out. Kevin brings so much to Taylor’s life - Lies. Deception. Jealousy. Violence. When the truth is finally revealed, that should be the end of Taylor’s problems. Unfortunately, he finds out that they’re only just beginning.....

9. I'm proud to know you. It looks and sounds like a winner.

The double entendre title and somehow sexy pitching hand are evocative and smart. May you sell so many books you can't believe it!

10. Is this self-published? I've put out a few that way myself.

Either way, though, congratulations!

[WillParkinson]

12. No, it's published by Harmony Ink, the YA division of Dreamspinner Press

One of the bigger LGBT publishers out there.

13. Even better. The problem with self-publishing is the lack of built-in promotion.
