Hot Pink in the City Cover Reveal & Links

In lieu of [Mostly] Wordless Wednesday, I'm sharing Medeia Sharif's cover for Hot Pink in the City instead!

Cover Reveal

HOT PINK IN THE CITY, Prizm Books
Author: Medeia Sharif
Release date: August 19, 2015

Asma Bashir wants two things: a summer fling and her favorite '80s songs. During a trip to New York City to stay with relatives, she messes up in her pursuit of both. She loses track of the hunk she met on her airplane ride, and she does the most terrible thing she could possibly do to her strict uncle…ruin his most prized possession, a rare cassette tape. A wild goose chase around Manhattan and Brooklyn to find a replacement tape yields many adventures—blackmail, theft, a chance to be a TV star, and so much more. Amid all this turmoil, Asma just might be able to find her crush in the busiest, most exciting city in the world.

Congratulations to Medeia! And thanks for the links. I sent one story to Mothership Zeta last week from your list. I had no idea Mur Lafferty had started her own venue! Very cool. Have a lovely weekend. :)

Great cover and congrats, Medeia! I don't know why, but after looking at the cover and reading the blurb, I was reminded on the 80s movie "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."
And thanks for the links; I'm definitely interested in Strangelet and Qu Magazine.
