To start with, I want to announce the winner of the CUT ME FREE Cover Reveal Giveaway!

Drumroll please...

Misti SumThing!

(yes, that's really the name she put in. No, I don't think it's real...but I have her email and twitter and that's what counts)

Congrats, Misti! I'll be emailing you shortly to get your address! :)







Now, the second announcement for today...

The PARANOIA Launch Party has been announced! It will be on Tuesday, June 10th at 7pm at The King's English bookstore in Salt Lake City, Utah! Go to the Facebook Event page and let us know if you're coming!

For those who come to the launch party, I'll have a special giveaway. I had buttons made up for my personal favorite Finn t-shirt saying from each book and will be giving one button to everyone who attends the launch!



I mean...come on...who doesn't want some of that? ;-)

Happy Monday!

CUT ME FREE Cover & Giveaway!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!

Time goes by so fast. It feels like I just barely got the call from my agent that CUT ME FREE had sold at auction to FSG/Macmillan. It's been a bit of a whirlwind since then, but I've been eagerly awaiting yesterday's reveal for months and I'm so happy we finally got to share it. Huge thanks to the team at FSG/Macmillan for loving and truly understanding this book enough to create this perfect cover. 

In case you missed the reveal yesterday on Hypable, you can read the description and see the cover here. Plus, you can enter to win signed books below!

Here is the book description:

Seventeen-year-old Piper barely escaped from her abusive parents. Her little brother, Sam, wasn't as lucky. Now she's trying to begin the new life she always dreamed of for them, but never thought she'd have to do alone. She hires Cam, a techie-genius with a knack for forgery, to remove the last ties to her old life. Now, she goes by the name Charlotte, and starts working at a nearby Italian restaurant. But while she can erase her past identity, she can’t rid herself of the memories. And her troubled history won’t let her ignore the little girl she sees one day in the park. The girl with the bruises and burn marks.

That’s when Piper begins to receive the messages. Threatening notes left without a trace of entry in her apartment. And they’re addressed to Piper, her old name. As the messages grow in frequency, she doesn’t just need to uncover who is doing this; she needs to stop them before anyone else she loves winds up dead.


And now...for the cover...



*pets the pretty* There are so many things I love about this cover. The scratches on the background (which also matches the first few pages inside the book and it's SO FREAKING COOL), the lock (which is so symbolic for the main character), the way the title is a little off balance totally gives you that creepy vibe and the tagline at the top is perfect.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH I WANT TO CUDDLE WITH IT ALWAYS.

What about you? What do you think? 

Enter the Hypable giveaway below where you can win a signed copy of INSOMNIA, PARANOIA and a signed ARC of CUT ME FREE!

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?
