Fellow Indelible Magan Vernon has done what I increasingly think is a great strategy for indie authors – mix up what they write/publish. Magan has a cute series of alien romance books, but today she’s celebrating the release of her contemporary New Adult romance, My Paper Heart. This is smart, not only to diversify her work, but because adult indie titles tend to sell well.
Here’s a little about her book, and then Magan has done something I’m horrifically bad at: cast her characters. Check it out!
**************************************************************************
There are worse things in life than failing out of college- such as having your parents receive the letter that you’ve been kicked out.
Now to appease her parents self-proclaimed sorority princess Libby Gentry is packing up her Prada bag and heading to work for her great aunt’s antique store in tiny Elsbury, Louisiana. She’s pretty sure she can tackle the swamp and deal with her great aunt and tom boy of a little cousin, but what she doesn’t know is if she can handle the local town playboy, Blaine Crabtree.
As Libby’s feelings for Blaine grow, so does her need for acceptance and all of the insecurities she has kept inside are coming out. She may have survived the Louisiana swamp, but she may not survive Blaine’s reluctance to say the ‘L’ word. When Blaine finally commits to the three words Libby’s been waiting for, she only hopes they haven’t come too late.

Love the cover! Sounds like a great story, too.
Really looking forward to this! Love the cover too!

I like the casting idea!
Hi Magan, sounds like a fun book. Have you ever visited StoryCasting.com? Have them add your book to the site and then readers can create their own cast lists, using Hollywood stars, for your stories.
Magan's book sounds like a fun good read. 🙂 For some reason I couldn't see the pics???
Thanks for the heads up! Should be fixed now. 🙂
