Bio:
Rebecca Cohen is a Brit abroad. Having swapped the
Thames for the Rhine, she has left London behind and now lives with her husband
and baby son in Basel, Switzerland. She can often be found with a pen in one
hand and a cup of Darjeeling in the other.
Blurb:
The magic of the Sawyer family’s extremely green thumbs comes
straight from the land. But Bobby Sawyer’s expected superpowers don’t become a
reality until he kisses his best friend, Mike Flint. That kiss moves the
earth—literally.
When Bobby moves to the city, leaving Mike behind, Bobby keeps his
green thumb nimble by working in a garden center and uses his superpowers to
help fight crime. He’s on a mission when a bomb explodes, leaving him seriously
injured, forcing him to return to the family farm—the source of his strength—to
recuperate.
While attempting to recover, Bobby realizes Mike is still the love
of his life. But Mike is leery: Bobby left him once before. What if all Bobby
needs is one more magical kiss?

Excerpt from Land in the Land:
The distant hum of a tractor’s engine and a few
notes of birdsong were the only noises, and once again Bobby’s chest filled
with heart-clenching disappointment. His eyes prickled, and he tried to hold
back the tears, but he couldn’t. Large, wet tracks raced down his cheeks, and
he leaned forward and rested his head and arms on his knees as he sobbed,
pent-up disappointment and salty worries splashing into the soil.
“Please don’t cry, Bobby.”
Mike’s eyes were large and imploring, and Bobby was
so miserable at his lack of progress that he just wanted something to hold on
to. He leaned forward and tentatively brushed his lips to Mike’s in the
gentlest of kisses. With a soft sigh, Mike kissed back in the same chaste way.
There was a tremor beneath him, a mild shake that
made his whole body vibrate. They sprang apart, both staring wide-eyed at the
dirt as they tried to work out what could be causing the disturbance.
Bobby’s jaw dropped. Before his eyes two of the
large roots pulled themselves free of the ground, clods of soil falling from
the delicate rootlets as they reached out to him.
With an undignified yelp, Bobby fell backward and
scrambled away, but a soft rumble from the oak made him stop. It was
reassurance, a call for calm, and he knew then everything was okay.
