Congrats, Alex!
Today I'm super stoked because I get to unveil Cathrina Constantine's NEW book cover. Say hello to Tallas!
In
a decimated world, setting foot outside the protected village of Tallas is
certain death—or so they say. Mutations caused by those in the wilderness have
plagued Tallas’s citizens—or so they say…
For
Doogan and Keeyla their belief in a Free
Tallas has lost its glimmer. And when their young son, Fabal, is given a
very dangerous assignment, they risk everything to protect him. Fleeing Tallas,
they head for the wilderness. But when they are ambushed by cruel Mediators, Doogan
is recaptured, and while Keeyla and Fabal escape, she is severely injured.
Can the two of them survive in the wilderness? Will Doogan getaway from the clutches of the Mediators? And are the terrible legends about the
monsters beyond the walls of Tallas true?
Mark your calendars folks, because this one will be up on Amazon February 1st!!!
Super cool, right? I love the color scheme, and the blurb? *drooling* And now, let me introduce you to the wonderful author:
Cathrina Constantine, the author of Wickedly They Come and Tallas, resides in Upstate New York with her
husband, five children, two Labrador Retrievers and two cats. Constantine is
represented by The Belcastro Literary Agency. When not with her family, baking,
crafting, reading, or stationed at the computer writing, you will find her
walking in the backwoods with her dogs, conjuring up a new tale.
Her favorite cheese if Yancey's Horseradish. (It's kinda spicy
hot and sweet rolled into one.) You might stumble across her eating it while watching a good movie.
Cathrina gave me two truths and one lie to test your "lie detector" skills. Can you figure out the lie? Those who do will go into my magic hat for a chance to win Tallas in eBook. Eek! How cool is that? You have until Tuesday, January 21, at 1 p.m. EDT to guess--and be sure to come back for the answer on January 22nd.
TRUTH OR LIE
1. Cathrina danced on a Vegas stage.
2. A horse fell on top of her when she was 16.
3. When an icy snowball hit her mouth, she needed 3 stitches.
And now, enter to win!

Oh, my funny pics! With each image I felt I had something to say! That would be too much, though. So I'll go with "This was the CHEEZZZZE-EST post ev'ah!
ReplyDeleteSuccess! =)
DeleteHa ha ha! Love the "You Monster" pic and the one with the photographer. :)
ReplyDeleteClassic, right? Like ched-dah.
DeleteI hadn't seen the pics. Funny. And great cover.
ReplyDelete*bows* Laughs for all.
DeleteLove the one with the swimmers and cheese curds! The rest are great, too, but that one -- I remember the photo from the Olympics so that made it extra awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd who doesn't LOVE cheese curds, right?
DeleteOh, the cheez its on the cat is killing me! Hilarious! I only post on Wednesday now and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI used to post once a week, but you know, there's just so much awesome on the interwebz. (It might have been the A-Z Challenge that change me.)
DeleteLove the colors on the cover of Tallas. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteKelly, I can't take the credit. It was all Melissa Stevens. I love it, thanks.
DeleteHmm cheesy! I love 'say people'!
ReplyDeleteI'll go for #1 as the lie.
Pretty epic, eh?
DeleteThe Tallas cover is fantastic!! And I am totally with the swimmers about cheese curd. Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I wouldn't be able to get even one cheez-it on my cat before he woke up.
Thanks again for featuring me here for WW, Crystal!
You've got a light sleeper on your hands, eh?
DeleteJulie, it was a privilege to have you.
Hey, I got one right!!
ReplyDeleteThe Cheez-its on the cat is hilarious.
And congratulations, Cathrina! Awesome cover. My guess is number one is the lie.
Thank you Alex. And thanks for putting the cover on your site today!! So appreciative!!
DeleteAlex, you've gotten a few right, but this time you won the luck of the draw too! Yay! (Go get a lottery ticket right now, eh?)
DeleteI like cheese! Super fun post as usual, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteYay! At your "laughing" service.
DeleteI love your enthusiasm Crystal. Could you bottle it up and hand some over to me? Thank you for giving me a spot on your site for my cover reveal.
ReplyDelete*shifty eyes* *leans in and whispers* I'm all out of bottles.
DeleteI love the cheese pics!! The cheez-it game made me laugh out loud, mostly because I was imagining the cat's expression when it woke up to find itself covered in cheez-its...
ReplyDeleteAND - CONGRATULATIONS CATHRINA!!!! The cover is gorgeous. So exciting!!! I'm going to agree with Alex (he IS a winner, after all ;) ) and choose #1 as the lie.
Thank you, Liz. I hope the story lives up to the awesome cover.
DeleteHee hee. Cats and their cheese. =)
DeleteI had gruyere this morning.
ReplyDeleteThere's a wise man.
DeleteI love cheese and also think it's GRATE! Love the kitty one. I don't have a cat so I can't try that. I have a Labrador dog and doubt if I'd get away with placing one piece of cheese on her. She devours everything in seconds!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Don't get between that dog and its cheese!
DeleteCongrats, Alex!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I say #1 is the lie.
Good luck with your new schedule, Crystal. Hope it's easier for you.
Thanks, Theresa. It's been painful forcing myself into it, but I imagine it will get easier.
DeleteThe cheese-its on the sleeping cat is hilarious! I think I'll try that on my cat Ruby :)
ReplyDelete... Did I forget to put a disclaimer on this post? --I cannot be prosecuted for limbs lost or injuries acquired while mimicking inferred games or any likeness thereto.
Delete=)
Mmm, cheese!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Cathrina! Love the cover!
Thank you Cherie.
DeleteLove the cheese!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Cathrina! Your book sounds and looks amazing.
The closer to release date the edgier I get.
DeleteGoing with #2 for the lie and loving the grate cheese pics. Yeah. I just said that...
ReplyDeleteOf course you did. ;)
DeleteLove cheese... best food ever... ;-)
ReplyDeleteSee, I KNEW you were the best. =)
DeleteWow, human, Crystal, so much info for my doggy brain to absorb. Number 4 is definitely the lie.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, I would probably attempt a few predictable cheese puns. I know, you Gouda be kidding. Instead, I leave you with a series of films, and no, not the film on really stinky cheese, but movie type films that were dedicated to cheese. 'The Big Cheesy', 'Cheesy Rider', 'Five Cheesy Pieces', 'Cheesy Come, Cheesy Go' and of course, who could forget this classic British cheesy movie, 'Cheese Sir!'.
Perhaps the idea of being overwhelmed by the fumes of really strong cheese, makes you think of these lyrics, 'cheese release me, let me go...' Then again, to kinda', sorta' quote John Lennon, '..all we are saying is give cheese a chance...'
Hearty congrats to Cathrina Constantine. Grate posting! Thanks for sharing! :)
Pawsitively cheesy wishes, your way,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!
And thank you Klahanie
DeleteHah! You're full of it Penny. All good stuff. And punny. =)
DeleteI shared the "Say People" images from you on Facebook the other day. Tood funny.
ReplyDeleteHee hee. Watch out. Cheese may go flying viral!
DeleteOh, I signed up for the Moonless Blogfest too.
ReplyDeleteYippee!
Delete"Say people!" That one's pretty "gouda." Ha! See what I did there?
ReplyDeleteHope my sense of humor doesn't "grate" on you.
Cathrina's cover is amazin'
And I'll pick #1 as the lie.
Thank you Jay! All the credit goes to The Illustrated Author for the awesome cover!
DeleteLOL! Gouda is always welcome.
DeleteExcellent cover, Cathrina! I want the Vegas stage dancing to be true! So I'm going with the snowball because I really didn't want that (or the horse) to be true.
ReplyDeleteLoved the cheese pictures, Crystal. My Urchins made up a song praising Feta cheese two nights ago at the dinner table. It went a little something like this.
Feta, Feta, Fetaaaa,
Nothing is bettaaa
I eat it wearing a sweataaa
And that's why we love Fetaaaa.
It was quite a heartfelt (and loud) serenade to their salad cheese. My world is nothing if not bizarre.
I'm really starting to like this truth and lie thingy. Thank you Ava.
DeleteBwa-ha-ha-ha! Oh, I want to come over for dinner some time, Ava. EPIC.
DeleteHaha, okay, I love the pic with the black cat... unfortunately, if I tried that game, my black cat wouldn't just wake up, he would bite my hand until he drew blood ;)
ReplyDelete...You have a killer cat? *batting eyes innocently* (I bet it turns into a bat at night too and goes out to suck blood.) ;) --Kidding, kidding. *boarding over windows for after dark*
Delete"Say People" is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty awesome, right?
DeleteWhat a gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteSo many funny cheesy things. I needed a good LOL today!
Let's see, the lie will be the dancing on the Vegas stage. Just a random guess.
LOL at your service. Just ring your silver bell and I'll send him right over!
DeleteThe cheesy/grate one did me in.
ReplyDelete*gasp* But what ever will we do without you? *batting eyes*
DeleteIsn't it rather early in the year to declare this the cheesiest post of 2014? Perhaps the cheesiest SO FAR...
ReplyDeleteThat cover looks amazing- tranquil and dangerous all at the same time. Huge congrats to Cathrina!
Tranquil and dangerous is right. Thanks Bev.
DeleteBev, what are you trying to do to me? Is that seriously a challenge to be CHEESIER? *gulp* *straightening up bravely* Challenge accepted.
DeleteI love the cheese! And the cover. The cover looks great! My guess is #3. It probably took more or less stitches than what she said.
ReplyDeleteCheese is the best. My husband can eat tons! Glad you like the cover Loni.
DeleteWait, do squirrels eat cheese? I don't want to get sued or anything...
DeleteThe lie is #3, but I really have no clue. I like provolone.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
And I like you! Here's to provolone!
DeleteI'm a cheese fan too - love these!
ReplyDeleteI know people who've had stitches from snowballs and I know people who've had horses fall on jumps and land on them, but I don't know anyone who's danced on a Vegas stage so I'll say #1 is the lie :)
There's a first for everything. *shifty eyes* That's not an answer.
DeleteLove the cheesy jokes :)
ReplyDeleteI've only eaten one cheese I didn't like, and I don't recall what the name of it was. I don't know what my favorite is ... all the rest!
I think the lie is #1
but it could be #2
so it's probably #3
Ignorance is bliss!
DeleteSo, basically what you're saying is, "I guessed them all so I HAVE to win." LOL!!!
Cheesy! I love those pics :)
ReplyDeleteI love pics too. Wait, are we talking about guitar playing or photography? *so confused*
DeleteCongrats to Alex! Julie's book is fantastic. And yay for Cathrina! Love that cover. I think the lie is #2.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the cheese funnies, Crystal! I feel nibbly now.
Is that similar to nimbly? Because I would love to be nimble, but I definitely wouldn't want to be nibbled upon. Hm.
DeleteThanks, Christine.
DeleteLots of funny cheesy stuff.
ReplyDeleteTallas' cover is creepy in a good way.
And it's happened. The post just got shuffled into the "stuff" category. Alright, haul in the trash can gentlemen!
DeleteWow, so much to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI gotta try that with a cat. First, I gotta get a cat...
I'll guess #2.
Yes! Promoting pet ownership everywhere. =) Pa-ching! Good deed done for the day.
DeleteI cracked up at the cat one! Congrats to Alex!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover - congrats to Cathrina - I'm going to guess that #1 is the lie. :) Now going to Goodreads to add this book. :)
Shoot. I'm all out of glue. Hope you can get back together on your own.
DeleteKimberly, thank you.
DeleteOh the cheese jokes! And that cat one is my favorite...poor kitty!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea which one is the lie, but every time I see Cathrina's cover I shiver, it's so beautiful! Sounds like it's gonna be a really good book!
But the kitty has cheese. How can it be poor?
DeleteThanks, Grace. I hope the story lives up to the cover!
DeleteI, too, liked the cat one most! I'm going to guess the snowball one is a lie! Don't ask me why! Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteDude!!!! You're a poet, and you didn't even think about it!
DeleteHahaha! Love that cat picture!
ReplyDeleteUm .... those three facts are all so whacky, it's really hard to choose the lie! Sheesh ... okay ... #2!
Sheesh. Okay. I guess we'll accept that. ;)
DeleteI'm going to guess 1 is the lie, but since I'm not an expert at detecting adult lies, I'm probably wrong. ;0)
ReplyDeleteI love the cat experiment. I'm going to try that on my cat and see what happens.
You rock-awesome at untangling kids lies though. Which is probably more important. =)
DeleteTotally cheesy! Did you know there is a website called Stuff on my Cat?
ReplyDeleteNo way!!! Okay, I know where I'm headed to burn the next hour.
DeleteLove the cheese pics! Cheesy or not, they made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! :)
Yay! I shared cheese and chuckles? The day doesn't get much better than that.
DeleteI would guess #1 as the lie, and congrats to Alex. I loved the cat with cheese nips. Here's one:
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call cheese that's not yours? NACHO cheese.
Great blog.
*face palm* LOL. We won't address the fact that most nacho cheese isn't actually cheese... ;)
DeleteAck! The Cheese made me laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteIs that one of those, "the dog made me do it," "my friend made me do it" kind of excuses? ;)
DeleteI would love to eat a whole table of Cheetos! I'd at least give it my best shot. =D
ReplyDeleteAre you volunteering for clean up duty? (*speaking into radio* Nix the doggy clean up crew.)
DeleteI live in the country of cheese but now, all I can think of is Cheez-It crackers and after visiting Christine's blog, I wanting goldfish crackers too!!! Congrats to Cathrina on her new book, and to Alex for guessing Julie's lie! How can anyone hate pies? *scratching head* :)
ReplyDeleteI know! Who doesn't like pie? (*nervously laughing and backing away*)
DeleteYay for Cathrina and congrats to Alex.
ReplyDeleteBring on the cheese.
Woot, woot!
DeleteThose cheese pics are hilarious! The "Say People" one especially had me laughing...
ReplyDeleteAlso, love Cathrina's cover--so stunning! I think I'll guess #3 is the lie...
Yeah... Life through the eyes of cheese...
DeleteI've never really been that into cheese, even before I began transitioning to veganism, but I thought the photography picture was cute.
ReplyDelete...
Delete...
...
... and I sincerely hope that no cheese was harmed in the creation of the above images... LOL
ReplyDeleteBwa-ha-ha-ha! Michelle, you are classic. Whew!
DeleteHi Crystal .. I love cheese ... but congratulations to Alex .. then I think #3 is a distinct possible winner .. snowballs can huuuurrrrt!
ReplyDeleteCheers and have a good year ahead .. Hilary
Hilary, any lover of cheese is a friend of mine. Here's to the best 2014!
DeleteAll this talk of cheese has made me hungry! I love the photo one- with "Say people". :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Alex on detecting the last lie.
This time I think the lie is having a horse fall on her. I love the cover of the Tallas and the book sounds great. Thanks for a chance to win. Best of luck to Cathrina. :)
~Jess
Mmm. Hungry... Yes, I think I'll have cheese for lunch. =)
DeleteLol! Cheesy indeed! Funny pics.
ReplyDeleteAwesome cover though!
The better to make you laugh, my dear. =)
DeleteGreat to see you here, Kelly!
The cheez game is the best ever. Must try it with my cat... I might lose some fingers though... Hmm. Maybe I should rethink ;)
ReplyDeleteUm...yeah. How would you type without fingers? Maybe use a robotic arm. There you go. ;)
DeleteCrystal, I hope you will stop by to check out the award I've nominated you for.
ReplyDeleteAw, Susanne, thank you so much. Yay!
Delete
