I'm Going to UTOPYA Epic Giveaway!

Happy Friday!
In case you didn't already know, I'm SUPER EXCITED because this time next week I'll be in (*insert twangy southern accent*) Nashville, Tennessee!!!!  Woo hoo! I can't believe I'm actually going to UTOPYA let alone Nashville. When I was a little girl I dreamed of going to Nashville and being a country music singer! No joke. I have the embarrassing photo of my ten year old self adorned in my mother's dress, high heels, and over the top makeup singing on my karaoke machine. (I promise to share the embarrassing moments one day when I have time to dig out the pics.)

I never thought one day I'd be a blogger/author OR be headed to Nashville to meet other authors/bloggers/readers OR be so excited to meet my internet friends! Ahhh! I cannot wait. So much hugging, jumping, giggling, squealing, and general excitement to be had! Woohoo!

Last year, I was moping around at home trolling the internet for all the UTOPYA action...I was so happy to hear about this year's event I ordered my tickets the first day they were available. :) I know not everyone can be so lucky so I thought why not have a I'M GOING TO UTOPYA EPIC GIVEAWAY to share the love?

Don't forget to Share the Love and if you're going to UTOPYA look me up! ;) I'll have a hug/high five/fist bump waiting for you! :)

There's a party goin on round here! ;)

Happy Monday! Okay, well I know Mondays aren't always the favoritest day of the week so I thought, Hey! Why not have a par-tay? Best idea ever, Michelle. (I talk to myself a lot...no lie.) 

Anyhow, enough chatter let's get this par-tay rocking! Today we are celebrating, my debut release Soul Survivor! *dances* I've been working on this book foooorrreeevvveeeerrr!

So first up, in case you haven't seen it let's take a gander at the full jacket for Soul Survivor courtesy of Sarah Hansen from Okay Creations...

 
Her genius kills me! She left me speechless with this piece of art. :) And in case you can't see it on the image here's the synopsis:

Hailee Mai Hart is just a simple, normal girl. Or so she thought.

When she left her one-horse town for a college education in the big city, she never could've imagined what awaited her.

She's quickly thrown into a world filled with angels, danger, and a curse…her curse. Come to find out, she's not so simple after all. She's actually the last of her kind, and the fate of the world rests on her shoulders. She has one chance to save Earth, and it all comes down to one choice: Light or Darkness. What is right and what is wrong is all a matter of perspective, which leaves her heart dangerously tangled. No matter which path she takes people will die, and that's just not an option.

Will she be able to save everyone, or will she be the Soul Survivor?

Okay, moving this par-tay right along! In case you haven't heard me say this before music truly inspires me and sets the stage for 95% of what I write! I spend a lot of time in my car driving to work, driving to class, etc. so I listen to music a lot! It amazes me how I can hear a song over and over and then suddenly out of the blue BAM! it hits me and in my mind a scene unfolds. One of the songs that truly inspired me the most on this playlist has to be Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. It set up a scene that completely shifted the original plot line for SS. Feast your pretty little ears on the entire playlist for Soul Survivor! 

Now feast your pretty little eyes on some photo quotes (in case you haven't seen them already.)
