Wordless Wednesday with Linky

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?"
~William A. Ward

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.
~Frank A. Clark

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not giving it. 
~William Arthur Ward

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do, interfere with what I can do. 
~Edward Everett Hale


Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Daynight by Megan Thomason

daynight by Megan Thomason

Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI): Earth’s benevolent non-profit by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance™. Reality: the SCI subjects Second Chancers to strict controls and politically motivated science experiments like Cleaving—forced lifetime union between two people who have sex.

Meet Kira Donovan. Fiercely loyal, overly optimistic, and ensnared by the promise of a full-ride college scholarship, Kira signs the SCI Recruit contract to escape memories of a tragedy that left her boyfriend and friends dead.

Meet Blake Sundry. Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother’s death, Blake’s been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to success? His Recruit partner—Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.

Meet Ethan Darcton. Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex, Ethan’s forced to do his SCI elite family’s bidding. Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.

Full of competing agendas, romantic entanglements, humor, twists and turns, daynight is Megan Thomason’s debut young adult dystopian novel and first in the daynight series.

Wordless Wednesday with Linky

I attended a poetry event last weekend by Marc Lacy and Friends featuring Def Jam poet, Black Ice. Here are some of the photos from the event. You may notice some familiar faces in the photos, such as my Southern Literary Sisters, Joneia P. Brown and Kimeko Farrar. They attended the Sheer Good Fortune event with me that honored Toni Morrison back in October in Virgina. You may also recognized my guest blogger for non-fiction books, Katina Walton.
