MOONLESS COVER REVEAL and Giveaway

Friendlies! It's that time again.

Writerly Wednesdays here are dedicated to readers and writers. If you've published anything for Young Adults, check out the tab up there.

And now, it's time to announce the winner of Mara Valderran's Heirs of War. She shared with us two truths and one lie. Those who guessed correctly were entered into a random drawing for the win. 

The options were: 

1. If she could go back in time, she would meet Audrey Hepburn.
2. There's something weird growing in the back of her car.
3. Her name is actually Mara Valderran.

And the lie is: 

#3, Mara Valderran is actually a pen name. Dun, dun dun! 

Way to guess those of you who got it right! You are officially human lie detectors. And the winner is: 

...DRUM ROLL...

Michelle, also know as Remember Grace!!

Congrats, Michelle! 

And now for my big reveal... 

*bouncing up and down* 

Squee!!!!

Idn't it beee-u-tee-ful?

And because I'm in a particularly giddy mood, I'm going to give one pre-release ebook to the lucky winner of this week's game. As usual, those who guess the lie in the comments below will be entered into a random drawing for the win. 

The blurb: Alexia’s nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless. 

MOONLESS is Jane Eyre meets Supernatural.

TRUTH OR LIE

1. I have repelled into, crawled through or camped overnight in several different caves.
2. I helped build a raft to float across a glacier lake in the Wind River Mountains.

3. I hiked Zions National Park with my new husband while two months pregnant.  

Okay human lie detectors, which is the lie?

And now to our regular Monday stuff...

In order to be truly successful in life, you have to be bold, right? You have to take chances, makes mistakes, and learn from experience. 

I tend to lean toward the cautious end of the spectrum. I've always carefully researched my decisions, planned the way they'd be carried out, and agonized over exactly how they should come together until they're done. My husband's company, on the other hand, jumps in before they have their heads together. They are very successful because they're so foolhardy--cleaning up the messes afterward. 

As I've observed the differences, I decided it's best to go down the middle--plan, but jump as well. Yes, wrap that bungee cord around your ankle and dive! 

So...I've launched my newsletter. It will be going out once a month to once a quarter and will offer freebies, promos, a listing of upcoming giveaways (Writerly Wednesday features) and cheese, of course. Sign up now and receive the first 3 chapters of MOONLESS--and if you've already read it (because you're an ARC reader,) sign up and receive the CUT PROLOGUE. Oooooh!

What about you? Do you jump in, or do you spend forever testing the water's temperature?
