Happy Wednesday, everyone!
I'm here today taking part in the Can You Handle The TRUTH Blogfest to celebrate the release of Curiosity Quills author Jamie Ayres' young-adult, coming-of-age, paranormal-romance 18 Truths, which is scheduled for release 28th January, 2014.
Here's what Jamie had to say about the blogfest:
All you have to do is post a blog centering around the classic Two Truths and a Lie get-to-know-you game.
Players tell two truths and one lie. The object of the game is to hop around the blogs and determine which statement that each blogger posted is the false one.

About 18 Truths:
Lying is unbearable, betrayal is inevitable, and choosing which path to take is impossible.
Olga Gay Worontzoff ended her senior year as an eighteen-year-old girl totally in love with Nate, enjoying their new romance and about to attend the university of her dreams. Now she’s spending her summer in the weird subculture of the Underworld, with charmingly witty and powerful angels, and problematic demons, trying to rescue Connor, the best friend and secret crush she was unable to save during a freak accident.
But Nate has other things on his mind, mainly Grace. She’s their first assignment as joint spirit guides, and Olga’s feeling hurt and jealous. His mysterious behavior has Olga questioning everything she believed about him and now she must decide whether to stick to their plan, or follow her heart. Unfortunately, a series of mistakes threatens everyone around her and plants Olga in the center of cosmic events much larger than she ever imagined.
Only one thing is certain: the chilling truths uncovered during her journey will leave no one untouched.

Jamie Ayres writes young adult paranormal love stories by night and teaches young adults as a public school teacher by day.
When
not at home on her laptop or at school, she can often be found at a
local book store grabbing random children and reading to them. So far,
she has not been arrested for this.
She lives in southwest Florida
with her prince charming, two children (sometimes three based on how
Mr. Ayres is acting), and a basset hound. She spent her youthful summers
in Grand Haven, Michigan and this setting provided the inspiration for
her debut novel, 18 Things.
She really does have grandmothers
named Olga and Gay but unlike her heroine, she’s thankfully not named
after either one of them. She loves lazy pajama days, the first page of a
good book, stupid funny movies, and sharing stories with fantastic
people like you.
