Cover Reveal: Conjure by Lea Nolan

Author Lea Nolan:

Believe it or not, I couldn’t read until I was in the third grade.  After a lot of hard work I finally got the hang of it, and quickly learned the best way to get out of doing chores was to tell my parents I was reading.  Soon I was hooked, devouring books by Roald Dahl, E.B. White, Judy Blume, C.S. Lewis, and anything I could find with a shiny Newberry Award sticker on the cover.  Books provided a portal to enchanted lands where anything was possible and characters relied on their wits to wiggle out of sticky situations.  Today, even though I'm all grown up, I write the kinds of stories I sought as a teen -- smart paranormals with bright heroines, crazy-hot heroes, diabolical plot twists, plus a dose of magic, a draft of romance, and a sprinkle of history.  I've got an undergraduate degree in history and a master's in public policy and women's studies, which believe it or not help a lot in my fiction writing.  I live in Maryland with my heroically supportive husband and three clever children, who’ve figured out how to get out of doing their chores.

CONJURE: Be careful what you search for…

Emma Guthrie expects this summer to be like any other in the South Carolina Lowcountry--hot and steamy with plenty of beach time alongside her best friend and secret crush, Cooper Beaumont, and Emma’s ever-present twin brother, Jack. But then a mysterious eighteenth-century message in a bottle surfaces, revealing a hidden pirate bounty. Lured by the adventure, the trio discovers the treasure and unwittingly unleashes an ancient Gullah curse that attacks Jack with the wicked flesh-eating Creep and promises to steal Cooper’s soul on his approaching sixteenth birthday.
When a strange girl appears, bent on revenge; demon dogs become a threat; and Jack turns into a walking skeleton; Emma has no choice but to learn hoodoo magic to undo the hex, all before summer—and her friends--are lost forever.
