The One with the First Bonus Scene!

We did it! We reached our first Pre-order threshold for FAKING IT!

And you know what that means! MORE GARRICK! Here is the first excerpt, which covers the first two chapters of LOSING IT in Garrick's POV. There's still three other Garrick Bonus Scenes left. The more #FakingIt Pre-Orders, the more Garrick you get!


Note: This scene is unedited, so please forgive any typos or errors.

Bonus Scene 1: The One Where They Met by WilliamMorrowBooks

EEEEP! I hope you enjoyed that! 

Check out the thermometer below to see how far we have to go until the next scene:

You can keep track here on the blog with me. OR... the thermometer and bonus scenes will all be housed on my facebook page in the tabs section (right by the like button).

And if you enjoyed Garrick's POV, don't forget, KEEPING HER releases August 13th, and is an entire novella from his POV set after the events of LOSING IT. 

The One with the Campaign

Need more Garrick in your life?

Well, you're in luck! The FAKING IT Pre-Order Campaign has officially begun!

I've got a nifty little thermometer above and over on my FACEBOOK page that shows our pre-order goals and how far we have to go. There are four thresholds, and every time we reach one, I'll be releasing an extra special scene from LOSING IT in Garrick's POV.

The first scene is titled The One Where They Meet.

UPDATE: The first scene has been released and can be found here.

So, you can guess what happens in it! :)

So, please! Pre-Order! Tell your friends to Pre-Order! Share on your blog. The more pre-orders, the more content you get!

And if you're on the fence about whether FAKING IT is your thing. Check out the first two chapters here.

If you're a blogger, and would like to host the thermometer on your blog, leave a comment with your email, and I'll get you the HTML tomorrow!

The One with MOAR Books!

So.... I've been hinting FOREVER at some SECRET news.

Some EXCITING news. 

And now the time has come to share that news! So.... without further ado.... 

(Okay... maybe a little ado)

This little pretty just posted to Publisher's Marketplace: 

NYT and USA TODAY bestselling author, Cora Carmack's novella KEEPING HER, from the perspective of the hero in LOSING IT and his attempts to maintain his happily ever after, again to Amanda Bergeron at William Morrow, in a two-book deal, for publication fall 2013 and winter 2014, bySuzie Townsend at New Leaf Literary & Media.

Did you guys catch that? From the point of view of the hero of LOSING IT? Otherwise known as GARRICK!

YEP. There will be a novella entitled KEEPING HER (which is already available for pre-order) releasing August 13th from Garrick's POV, and it's set after the events of LOSING IT. So, for all those out there asking for a sequel... I was listening! And here it is!

We don't have the official copy for the novella yet, but I'll give you a quick hint! This book takes place after the epilogue of LOSING IT and involves a little visit to London! :D

For those unfamiliar with the lingo... a novella is a shorter work of fiction that's longer than a short story, but not quite as long as a novel. KEEPING HER will be available in ebook format only for $1.99.

And I might point out that this deal is for TWO novellas. The other will be from the point of view of Jackson Hunt, the hero of FINDING IT (who I am OBSESSED with). Go here if you missed my earlier post with details about him and FINDING IT.

Thanks for being patient while I kept this secret! But now the news is out. And between this and my other recent Garrick news, you guys should be able to keep your hot Brit addictions fed for a little while.


<3 <3 <3 you all!

The One about FINDING IT

We've passed the 4,250 like mark on Facebook! And that means you guys get a little more info about Kelsey's book, FINDING IT.

I am SO EXCITED about this book. I'm in edits for it at the moment, and I just love it. IN EDITS. Now, that is saying something.

So, here we go!

FINDING IT by Cora Carmack
Coming October 1st, 2013!

Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life...or that's what she keeps telling herself.

It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.


There it is! This book is full of traveling and accents and parties... and Jackson Hunt. 

Gah. I LOVE Hunt. Hard to say... but he might end up my favorite guy so far. SQUEEEE. 

And just so you know... I've got a very SPECIAL announcement coming your way on Monday. So, get ready! 

The One That You Guys are Going to Love

So, I have been sitting on this secret for WEEKS. I've been cryptically tweeting and probably driving a few of you mad.

 But that ends today! Because today I get to tell you about it! SQUEEEEEEEEE! Who's excited???!!

Well, here it is. We're going to be doing something a little special in the weeks leading up to the release of FAKING IT. We've devised a super special pre-order campaign with 4 pre-order amount goals. Anytime we reach one of those four pre-order goals, you all get a reward. Want to know what that reward is? 

Oh, you know, just a few special scenes from LOSING IT..........

IN GARRICK'S POINT OF VIEW. 

YEP. THAT'S RIGHT. I've written four key scenes from Garrick's perspective. I know how much you all LOVE Garrick. And I've been hearing requests for his pov for ages. So, we decided to do something about it. 

The campaign should begin within the next week or so. We'll have widgets that you can put on your blog that track how close we are to the pre-order goals. So, if you want to read those Garrick scenes... get ready! As soon as the campaign goes live-- preorder! Tell your friends to pre-order! Pre-order as gifts! Every pre-order counts and will get us that much closer to learning more about our favorite Brit. 

I'll post more info when we get it all squared away, but when I got the go ahead to spill the beans, I JUST COULDN'T WAIT! 

And just in case you thought that was my only secret (pssshhh!). There's another piece of exciting news that I've not announced yet, but should be coming soon. So, make sure you're following me on social media so you don't miss it! 

The One Where You Can Get More Cade

Hello my loves!

Good news! We've hit 4k on Facebook! And that means a giveaway of FAKING IT. I had intended to give away a copy based on those who shared on Facebook and those that used the #FAKINGITFirst hashtag. Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble keeping track of those. Especially, on twitter. When I look back through the hashtag, it will only let me go back so far, and I'm pretty sure some are missing. So, rather than leave out the people who tweeted early on, I'll just be doing an open giveaway again.

So, anyone is eligible to win! Just complete the form below! Open internationally.

Oh, and P.S. at 4,250 likes, I'll be revealing the blurb for FINDING IT! So, if you want to know what Kelsey's book is about... you will soon!
