Cover Reveal!!!

Guys, I'm SO EXCITED about this. My pal, Bethany Crandell, is debuting her YA contemporary novel, SUMMER ON THE SHORT BUS, April 1st of 2014. And today is her cover reveal!

Here's a sneak peek:

Here is the synopsis of AWESOME:

Spoiled, Versace-clad Cricket Montgomery has seventeen years of pampering under her belt. So when her father decides to ship her off to a summer camp for disabled teens to help her learn some accountability, Cricket resigns herself to three weeks of "handicapped hell".

Her sentence takes a bearable turn as she discovers the humor and likeability of the campers and grows close to fellow counselors. Now, if she can just convince a certain Zac Efron look-alike with amazing blue eyes that she finally realizes there's life after Gucci, this summer could turn out to be the best she's ever had.

Summer on the Short Bus is a very non-P.C., contemporary YA with a lot of attitude, tons of laughs, and a little life lesson along the way.

Want to see the full cover and have a chance to #win a signed ARC? Hop over here for the official cover reveal!

Unhinged Hardbacks have arrived!

 

Yay! At long last, the hardbacks are here! For me, this means lots of drooling and petting and wasting hours staring longingly at the cover and design. 

 

For YOU this means a giveaway is forthcoming! Within the next few weeks I'll wrangle one up, and yes, it will be INTL.

 

Stay tuned!

Hebrew version of Splintered!

 

Since this is the first foreign version of Splintered that has strayed from the original cover art, I wanted to post it here.

 

Though my heart belongs to the original version, I think they did a great job picking the model. The girl's a good match for the one on the American cover. Also, the artist incorporated a lot of the same elements and threw in a few mushrooms for the AiW tie in. Oh, and there are sparkles and a clock! 

 

All in all, I think it's pretty and does a good job of incorporating some Wonderland elements. Most importantly, I'm so excited that kids in Israel will now have the chance to read the book.

 

I hope they enjoy the mad twisted story as much as I enjoyed writing it. :)
