The ladies of From Russia with Claws have stopped by to share their new cover.  I think it is pretty amazing. But before they share they wanted to talk a little. Or I should say they are kicking me off the blog and taking over….. 

BUT….. before they take over let me tell you a little about the ladies. 

Jacey Conrad is a sushi-loving, pop culture nerd living in the South with her high school sweetheart.  She delights in horribly made mutant shark movies and watching Sean Bean die in his various cinematic incarnations.  To keep up with Jacey on twitter, go to https://twitter.com/JaceyConrad

Gia Corona loves boots, boys, and bourbon, not necessarily in that order. When she’s not actively stalking Michael Fassbender and his abdominals, she’s watching questionable television or reading comics. You can find her at twitter.com/Gia_writes

Okay I am getting the evil eye. Time for me to leave. Please be nice to my blog ladies. 

Gia: I saw this on my FB feed and felt that I needed to know—IMMEDIATELY—what Jacey and I would be if we had to be a Disney henchbeing/sidekick/insert random dudebro thing here. Here we go

WHICH MENACING DISNEY DUO ARE YOU AND YOUR BFF?

1) Where would you rather live?

Gia: Well, since Jacey and I already wrote a series (Facile Restaurant) of short stories set in New Orleans because we loved the food, I’ve got to go with New Orleans. Not only for the food, but because Trashy Diva and Fluevog both have shops there. Just take all our money, NOLA. Damn.

Jacey: I also put down NOLA, because we assimilated waaaay too easily when we were there for a conference. An entire culture based on delicious food and irresponsible amounts of booze? We’re hooooome!

2) What was the last bad thing you did?

Gia: This was a tough one, since I have to take into account Jacey’s crimes, as small as they are. I went with Emotionally Hurt Someone because very rarely will that lead to arrest and, even though Jacey recently might have engaged in some more physical shenanigans, I feel like the emotional trauma she put HERSELF through far outweighs the physical harm to anyone in her sparring class.

Jacey: That’s true and also the answer I chose. I tend to torture myself when I feel like I’ve hurt someone’s feelings. But after I stepped on a guy’s crotch during a hip-throw gone awry, I shrugged it off and told him, “If you don’t like it, take a knitting class.” Gia is above petty crime and pretty restrained when it comes to her violent urges. Verbally knocking someone the hell out? She does not hold back.

3) How long have you known your BFF?

Gia: Not very long. We met and just got on like a house afire. Maybe literally. YOU DON’T KNOW MY LIFE!

Jacey: It’s very strange, we only met three years ago? And yes, we started talking about movies, fandoms, books, and it was like I’d found my snark soul twin.

4) What Disney song sums up a night on the town with you and your BFF?

Gia: Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid. Because really. We are a bartender’s worst nightmare.

Jacey: I put down Topsy Turvy from Hunchback of Notre Dame, because we’re that kind of fun.

5) What do you and your BFF bond over?

Gia: Movies. Specifically hot men in movies.

Jacey: I put down work, since we met at a work related event.  (hangs head in shame.)

6) How often to you and your BFF argue?

Gia: Never. We are delightful broads who laugh a LOT.

Jacey: Never. We really don’t. I wouldn’t say we’re easy going, because we’re both pretty opinionated, but happily, our opinions line up pretty often.

7) On a scale of 1-6 (6 being the highest), how menacing are you and your BFF?

Gia: This was hard because we sort of cancel each other out. Jacey is incredibly nice in public and has a face that makes people want to talk to her about the weirdest things. I, however, have cultivated a truly epic resting bitchface that is terrifying. It saves me a lot of hassle of having to interact with, well, anybody. I think I’m meaner than Jacey, but then again, animated birds braid her hair every morning, so there you go. I put us down for a 3.

Jacey: That explains the feathers. For the record, I’m pretty nice in private too, though I do curse like a longshoreman. Gia, on the other hand, while she does have an epic RBF, is a very kind person with crazy amounts of personal integrity. So I put us down as a 3.

8) What Disney animal would you want as a pet?

Gia: There’s a Pegasus as a choice? Hell yes, who wouldn’t want a flying horse! You’d never sit stuck in traffic again!

Jacey: Why would you want a dog when you could have a Pegasus? You can’t get a Pegasus at the pound!

We both got Madame Medusa’s alligators from the Rescuers!

Go take the test for yourself  “WHICH MENACING DISNEY DUO ARE YOU AND YOUR BFF?”  and then come back and tell us who you got!!!

As promised here is the cover of From Russia with Claws.

FROM RUSSIA WITH CLAWS

by Best Selling Author Molly Harper, writing as Jacey Conrad, and Gia Corona

When Alpha female Galina Sudenko agreed to attend her distant cousin’s birthday party, she wasn’t counting on meeting the devastatingly handsome and powerful Rom Alpha, Andrey Lupesco, or having her sexy times with him interrupted by the murder of her idiot brother-in-law, Sergei. But such is life when your father is one of the most powerful werewolves within Seattle’s supernatural Russian organized crime syndicate.

Not content with being just a pretty face and good breeding stock, Galina sets out to make her mark within the family. But in doing so, she runs afoul of her eldest brother, Alexei, the heir apparent to the family dynasty. He has no intention of ceding his position without a fight.

Andrey and Galina’s burgeoning romance is threatened when she discovers that before his death, Irina’s husband, Sergei, hijacked Andrey’s shipment of the werewolf drug, Bullet, a synthetic drug that gives the supernatural creatures a cocaine-like high. Sergei’s theft means that Andrey had a reason to have Sergei killed, leaving Galina to decide whether to risk trusting Andrey even as her feelings for him deepen.

As her brother Alexei’s behavior becomes more erratic, Galina must find the missing shipment, prove to her family that she’ll be a capable leader, and decide whether her lover Andrey can be trusted before she can hope to challenge her brother for his position as head of the family.

A tale of sexy werewolves, forbidden love, family power struggles, and danger closing in, Gia Corona and Jacey Conrad’s From Russia With Claws will leave you howling for more!
