New Cover and Release Date
« on: August 23, 2012, 03:30 PM »
So, I recently realized that I never officially even announced this deal on these boards. The sale and subsequent months were kind of a saga with the Amazon acquisition of Marshall Cavendish and some uncertainty associated with that... But I'm excited to share my cover for DEVIANTS the first book in my new trilogy coming out with Amazon Children's Books, October 30, 2012.



I've got a Goodreads giveaway on right now (ends Sunday) if anyone's interested.

Thanks Rachel! It is creeping up so quickly. I swear, just last week I had like five or six months.

 :yay Maureen! SO looking forward to reading DEVIANTS. It's been a long road with more than its share of bumps but all so worth it in the end. Enjoy the last few weeks before release!  :) :hearts

Thanks Christy and Nelsa!!!

Nelsa, we both had a long hard road to publication. I know DEVIANTS isn't technically my first book, but it feels like it is and I'm getting crazy nervous. :) (But also excited.)
