now and forever cover reveal

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Susane Colasanti

As an author, there are certain days every year I look forward to the most. Pub day. Book tours. Any opportunity to meet readers. And the day when I get to share the cover of my new book.

Today is that day.

A team of fabulous designers has been working on the cover of my new book, Now and Forever, for a while now. I’m beyond ecstatic to finally be able to share it with you!

Here’s the synopsis:

***

What if your boyfriend was the world’s biggest rock star?

Sterling is crazy in love with Ethan. Not only is he the sweetest boy she’s ever met, but he’s an incredibly talented guitarist, singer, and songwriter. And since forever, he’s believed he has what it takes to be a star.

When Ethan becomes an overnight sensation, he’s thrown head-first into the glam world of celebrity—and so is Sterling. Before she knows it, she’s attending red-carpet premieres, getting free designer clothes, and flying around the country to attend Ethan’s monumental sold-out concerts.

It’s a dream come true…but whose dream is Sterling living? And what do you do when “forever” comes to an end?

***

Now and Forever will be released on May 20, 2014.

One of my biggest teen fantasies was that my boyfriend was the world’s biggest rock star. So I decided to bring that fantasy to life with Now and Forever. I hope you’ll enjoy the excitement, intense chemistry, and crazy drama this book brings. Rock on, friendly neighbors!

Love the cover! Love the synopsis! I want a rock star boyfriend! Wait… I’m 45 and been married for 20 years, so I don’t think that is going to happen. I’ll just pout until this book comes out and I can read it and dream. Can’t wait!

  You are adorable! You are also living my fantasy life. Married for 20 years at 45 was my biggest teen fantasy. Even bigger than the rock star BF 🙂

SUSANEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I’ll quit the fangirling.

But really, I love the synopsis. Having a rockstar BF never gets old, I swear. I’m newly 18, and still searching for my rockstar. I love the cover.
Seriously, your stories can make anybody fall in love.

You should be a God or something.
Waiting for 2014 already! (even though it means getting older).

    If you say so, I completely believe you. You got me out of a really bad place (no, really) with Something Like Fate, right after I’d lost someone.
    You are my inspiration in multiple ways.
    
    Susan, what sun sign are you? Sorry, random question. I’m also all about random stuff. 😀

I’ve read all your books and I can’t wait till Now and Forever comes out! I used to read like crazy and then I just quit reading and in 7th grade I started reading again and after I read one of
your books I couldn’t stop reading. Therefore, I read all of your books, taking me 3-5 days to read one (I couldn’t put them down) Lol. So, I just want to thank you for getting me interested in reading again (: Thank you!!

OMG I can’t wait to read Now & Forever because I have read all of your other seven fabulous books plus I even own them! I love how you are connecting characters from previous books of yours like Sterling. You are just blowing my MIND!!! (Of course in a good way!) I never used to like to read that much until I read your books, now I’m like a total bookworm!

  Dude, you freaking rule for noticing about the intertwining characters thing! My goal is to build up to something big by connecting my books. Let’s see how it goes…
  
  Thank you for being such a dedicated reader. I really appreciate it. And yay that you love reading! That is the best news ever ❤

    P.S. You rule for responding back to posts on your blog. It’s amazing that you connect back to your readers! I was literally smiling like crazy and laughing uncontrollably when I read your reply out of excitement. I would love to see how all of your characters relate later on, you always make them sound so real. I especially want to know how Tobey and Sara are doing! I’m currently re-rereading When It Happens (my fave out of them all).

I just went and bought when it happens and I asked if they had your new one now and forever and they don’t. So just wondering if it’s in Canada yet?

- Susane Colasanti on June 30, 2014 at 9:21 am said:
  
  My understanding was that new releases show up in Canada fairly quickly. Maybe you could ask your bookstore if they can order it? Or they should know its arrival date.
