The CUT ME FREE Cover Reveal Will Be...

I am so happy to announce that the CUT ME FREE cover reveal will be this Wednesday (April 30th) on Hypable!

There is obviously only one way to react to that information...

We'll also be doing a giveaway with the reveal that includes signed copies of INSOMNIA, PARANOIA and a signed ARC of CUT ME FREE.

Dude. I am SO excited.

So have a happy Monday...and tune in Wednesday for all of the awesome. :)

Foreign Cover reveal for INSOMNIA in Hungary!

By random selection the winner is... Alison Miller Woods who was one of only a couple who guessed HUNGARY!

Without any further ado, here is the full cover, which I LOVE!

I love how he is laying on a pillow, but his eyes are wide open...and there is the creepy outline of the girl in the pillow. And how blue his eyes are. It's perfect! Also, Álmatlanság is (I believe) the direct translation of INSOMNIA. For more info on my publisher, check out Főnix Könyvműhely!

This book will be releasing on April 24th at a book festival in Hungary! I'm seriously so thrilled with how much excitement my publisher seems to have about it. :)

What do you guys think of this cover?

Tonight, I'm giving you a sneak peek at part of the cover. Guess which country/language you think it is for. Options include: Spanish, Portuguese, German, Hungarian, Chinese, or Czech. (If I've already told you the answer, no spoilers!) I will pick one of the correct guesses for a special prize!

Here is a peek:

Exciting News!

Happy St. Patrick's Day + Giveaway O' Green!

As a redhead with questionable lineage, I've always figured that somewhere down the line I have Irish blood in me. As such, I've had longtime traditions regarding St. Patrick's Day, green things and pinching.

Man, are there stories...

Ahem, anyway, I thought I'd celebrate this St. Patrick's Day with a giveaway. This one is a little different than others I've done in the past, so here are the details.

Many of you have read INSOMNIA already, some have even posted reviews on Goodreads or other places. I'd like to boost the amount of reviews it has on sites such as Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

The winner will receive: 

A Signed Advanced Reader Copy of PARANOIA & Other Green Goodies!

So, in order to enter this Giveaway O' Green, all you have to do is go leave a quick review on one (or both) of those sites. It doesn't matter how you review it or what you say, and the reviews do not have to be unique to that site so feel free to copy and paste the review in both places for more entries. Leave me a comment here telling me where you reviewed it and you'll get one entry per review that you left. This contest will be open for the next 4 weeks until April 14th, so if you haven't had a chance to read INSOMNIA yet, but were meaning to, now is a great time.

As always, thank you for reading! :) Oh, and I hope your day is as fun as this kid's, because seriously...
