When I was contacted by Pen Name Publishing asking me if I would like to take part in the cover reveal for a brand new debut author in the YA genre I jumped at the chance.
The cover keeps with current trends of simplistic design and features a symbolic element from the story, in this case, a blank B-side of a mix tape on a bright green background reminiscent of a crucial characters school bag.

The Before Now and After Then Releasing 7-29-2014
The Before Now and After Then is a heartbreaking and soul healing journey following Danny as he struggles to find his identity and his reason for living after the death of his twin brother. He carries the guilt of his brothers death, after all, if they hadn’t hatched Danny’s coming out to his parents scheme, Sam never would have gotten into his jeep and left the house. This genre changing novel is more than the story of a young boy struggling with his sexuality; it is an in-depth and creative look at developing an identity, the impact of a family as it unravels, and the a very honest discussion on the realities of bullying on both the victim and the creator. Is it possible for a victim to break his antagonist? What happens when one finally finds out that the answer to all of their problems and struggles has been inside of them from the start?
