Lalone Marketing is hosting an author event in Nashville on June 7, and not only will we be there – but we’re sponsoring the event as the official blog sponsor! So if you can’t get to Nashville, don’t worry – we’ll have all things Nashville Author Event posted right here on this blog! You can also check out the other blog sponsor: Hesperia Loves Books. Between the two blogs we’ll be bringing you an author spotlight (+ a spotlight on Griffin Peterson) + giveaways for the next week and a half or so!

You can enter today's giveaway by visiting the official event facebook page HERE.  

Today’s author spotlight belongs to Jay Crownover!

Being native Coloradan is a source of pride if you ask Jay.  She loves all the things her home has to offer, and that is why she set her books in this familiar place. Writing about what she knows is why her stories feature plenty of rock and roll and body modification.

Jay has been a bartender since she was in college, spending over forty hours a week watching interactions between men and women.  This 9 to 5 job offered great insights into relationships - how they start and how they evolve in a social setting.

This cutting-edge author likes to write New Adult novels because she remembers being in her early twenties and thinking she had it all figured out, only to be proven wrong time and time again.  When she looks back, she see's that those years defined who she is today, and, good or bad, those decisions ultimately set her current path.

Jay is represented by Stacey Donaghy. She has a three-book deal with HarperCollins, William Morrow Imprint for her stories, RULE, JET, and ROME.

Another three book deal  sold with HarperCollins, William Morrow Imprint for stories, ROWDY, NASH and ASA.

Jay's new series Welcome To The Point: BETTER WHEN HE'S BAD,  and BETTER WHEN HE'S BOLD has sold in a two book deal to HarperCollins, William Morrow Imprint.  These are the first two books in this new series.
