Everywhere That I'm Not: Guest Blogging

I'll be guest blogging a lot this next month, which means that I won't be here as much, but I will be somewhere. Today I'm participating in Goodreads' Romance Readers Book Challenge, so you can pop over there, ask me a question, and enter to win a hardback of Dark Companion.

Heidi at Rainy Day Ramblings has a guest post by me, a review of Dark Companion, and a giveaway of my young adult Gothic.  This is a seriously pretty blog, and I always like that, and you can read my yammerings about girls' lunches, which I love. (You can see one of my girls' lunches above, with my favorite blue-green pottery and flowers from my garden.)

Heidi says:

I loved the way Ms. Acosta creates an atmosphere thick with suspense as she carefully takes her time notching up the tension, building and building to a big reveal. I love finding a book that relies on a mystery that is slow to unfold and heavy on the intrigue, and that is what I found with this book.

I've been getting other nice reviews for my book and I'll share those anon (which means later, not anonymously -- study your Shakespeare!) A lot of readers are also confused by my book. I am confusing. Honestly, I don't try to be confusing. I'm happy to invite confused people over for a glass of wine and explain things to them until their are either convinced or give in because they want dessert.

Blue-green is my favorite color so here are a few upcoming covers with bluish/greenish tones.

GRATUITOUS VIDEOS OF THE DAY

The theme is brand new videos, ones that are hot off  the griddle. You are responsible for bringing your own syrup.
