Before I go any further, congratulations are due to the winner of the Pinterest board contest for A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU: Way to go, Caroline T.! She wins the YA book of her choice. Thanks to all who entered, though — and the Pinterest will remain up (and I’ll keep pinning to it) so you can keep getting sneak peeks within the many worlds Marguerite travels to in her journeys. And speaking of her journeys through the dimensions, and how I would up writing them at all —
Do you want to get a look inside the world(s) of A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU to pique your curiosity? Do you also want to win a YA book? Any YA book you desire? Of course you do! Read on to find out how:
Let’s take a brief moment out from talking about A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU this November and leap forward in time, to next March – when the third book in the Spellcaster series comes out. The big finale! So who’d like to get a look at the cover of SORCERESS ….?
Those of you who follow me on Twitter might have seen an abbreviated version of this earlier in the week, but given that weird crazy book snobbery continues to run rampant (they’re even coming for Donna Tartt!), it’s still relevant. Basically, some people have noticed that we are having fun when we read, and they just can’t stand it.
So this is Wattpad, hmm?
First of all, huge congratulations go out to Tenisha, the winner of the A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU cover contest! But thanks go to every single one of you who entered. The response to the cover and the book has been beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m deeply grateful for every single entry, tweet, Goodreads shelving, you name it. This week’s contest will be a lot simpler. Yes, there’s a brand new contest —
I’ve been teasing you guys with bits and pieces of info about A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU, but until last week we didn’t have a final cover. But now we have one! Do you want to see it? You do. You really, really do.
I’m excited and honored to be a part of this anthology — cooked up by my friend/partner in crime Dan Wells and Brandon Sanders — which will give you exclusive glimpses of deleted scenes/first drafts/other previously unpublished work by some of your favorite writers in YA and scifi. Let me tell you a little more about it …
The three lucky winners are Monica, Yun-A and Quintana! Way to go, you guys. Thanks for being a part of the YA Scavenger Hunt. More thanks go out to absolutely everyone who took part. 😀
Now I’m on to finalizing the outline for the second book in the Firebird trilogy, the follow-up to A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU. No title yet – A THOUSAND something OF something, I would imagine. But soooooo many fun things just waiting to be written …
The YA Scavenger Hunt IS ON!
Welcome, all of you taking part in the spring 2014 YA Scavenger Hunt! Read on …
OK, the part of the song about bringing my baby back home is not true. Also, technically, I will be in Independence, MO, instead of KC. But if you live in that area, I’m headed your way!
