The back of our books

So, what are these books we've been talking so much about? If they had covers and all, this is what you might find on the back of the books! Both of our titles are very much in progress, but we'd love some feedback on our summaries!

Conner Moon, the son of a Senator and a rising star in the Mobile District Attorney's office, has lived a pretty comfortable life in south Alabama with one exception: the death of his sister.

When an disheveled woman shows up at his front door 13 years later looking for help, Conner discovers his sister, Danni, might not be as dead as he thought.

As Conner seeks out his long-lost sister, he finds himself tangled in a web of lies about his past and comes face to face with a truth he isn't sure he can handle: his greatest enemy is a lot closer than he ever imagined.

With the help of his wife and his best friend, Conner must tackle dangerous territory and countless dead ends to save the one person that will keep his world together before its too late. 

--Holli Anne



Goodwyn knows one thing for certain: telling the truth can be deadly. After a hormone-driven fight leads to her mother’s suicide, she vows to never let her web of lies get tangled again.

Fast-forward eight years later, she's consumed her life in lies and the real Goodwyn has fallen between the cracks. That is, until she meets a man who offers her a job at an interactive PR company—a position that would utilize her lying strengths while paying her the big bucks for it. She would be a part of a team of fellow liars—each with a secret past that may put her own horror to rest.

Before she can officially accept, she is thrown into a job that puts her deep into the throngs of rich socialites, sexist old men, and straight into a world that she has to pretend she’s always belonged to, all in order to uncover the plans of a handsome billionaire…or to be there when the bottom falls out afterward. What was supposed to be a fact-finding job turns into a painful, terrifying, and eye-opening experience that leaves Goodwyn questioning everything.

Now Goodwyn is caught in an underground war between two powerful groups, the desire to finally tell the truth, and the promise she made to herself long ago to uphold her new life of lies at all costs. A struggle made harder by the new reality that the people the company are interested in are a little more extraordinary than she thought.

Lovely and Lethal Blog Tour: Addi's Mayhem Martini

Everyone knows we already love us some Elegantly Wasted by C. Elizabeth Vescio. Heck, I've already talked about it a few times.

Want to know why you should read this book? Go here.
Want to read a hilarious interview with C. Elizabeth Vescio about EW? Go here.
Want to know why Frankie is one of my Top 5 Favorite Protagonists? Go here.

I'm re-quoting myself here by saying that Elegantly Wasted is a wild, drunk, medicated, murderous, fun ride and I can't wait for the second one. But, heck, it's just so true. Frankie is one of my all time favorite protagonists and I just can't get enough of her frustrating, yet funny as hell cousins. 

That's why I'm really psyched to announce that the Lovely and Lethal blog tour is stopping by with a very fun post from C. Elizabeth Vescio revolving around Addison Fairholm, one of my favorite EW characters! 

Enjoy and don't forget to keep up with Lovely and Lethal's blog tour schedule over and Pen & Muse! Also make sure you like The Wasted Series Facebook page! Every Wednesday is Wasted Winesday!


Addi, the oldest cousin, likes her beer... but when she's feeling a little more classy, she prefers a fruit flavored martini.

Addi's Mayhem Martini
  • Ketel One Vodka (One to Two shots depending on the size of your glass)
  • Shot of Watermelon Pucker
  • Splash of Orange Juice (to fill it up)
  • Straws are classy

This drink seems to taste like cantaloupe to me. My sister has also taken to adding a splash of red bull when she's really trying to kick it up. I'm a big advocate for top shelf vodka- don't be cheap... you won't even have a big hangover in the morning if you stick to the good stuff.

- C. Elizabeth Vescio



Jack of all trades and stereotypical black sheep, C. Elizabeth has been writing somewhat dark and morbid since that teen angst hit in the early 90's- probably because her dad was a mortician. After pursuing a degree in English, she changed gears to photography and design in 2006... although she kept penning stories for fun while reading the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde and Hemingway (whom she adores even though he was a huge douche canoe). In 2009, her life shifted considerably and she found herself writing Elegantly Wasted- helping her sort out a bunch of stupid feelings and other lame stuff.
