Along with the grand prizes which include a book from every author on the team, I will also be giving away copies of all of my books! You can also expect to see a deleted scene from EMBLAZE (though I haven't fully decided on my extra content as yet;)

Hi everyone,

So, here it is - the beautiful new cover of my first stand alone novel. BETWEEN THE LIVES is out in Australia and NZ on May 1, 2013. Information on release dates in other markets will follow shortly. I've got to admit, it is a little scary releasing my first book that is separate to the Embrace Series. But this story means so much to me. It is dark and psychological, and at the same time it is about love and family and friends.

At this stage, this is only the Australian and NZ version of the cover. I'm not sure if other markets with choose to go with the same design or change it up - so we'll have to wait and see. Anyway, without further ado, here it is. I really hope you love it as much as I do! xxx

That's the list. The hunt starts Thursday! Leave a comment and tell me which books you are the most excited for.

We will announce hunt winners as well as the art contest winners and the book trailer winner after the Scavenger Hunt is finished early next week.

Have a great week!

Well, my time to commit to my official author page on facebook probably came a while ago, but it has taken me until now to get things rollings.

Here is the link: www.facebook.com/shirvington

Why now?
Great question!
(you see, I can even interview myself! Imagine what I can do on fb!)

(Actually, scrap that statement. I really don't want you to have high expectations, any expectations at all really. It will only lead to possible disappointment)

(We should probably scrap that statement too. Thanks guys!)


Anyhow...I have my own author page and I would love it if you stopped by and clicked that little blue 'like' box so that I can inundate you with all things me and my books (sounds really self obsessed when I put it like that...hmm).
Another way to look at it is this:

#1. I solemnly swear to tell you all the good stuff FIRST (when legally within my rights!).

#2. I also swear that I will on occasion (occasions when you remind me) run the odd giveaway or two!

#3. I will tell you about my new book (happy dance!), which is still a bit of a secret (shh)!

#4. I will connect it to my website and blog so you get direct updates (when someone shows me how to do it).

#5. I will give you sneak peeks at covers (ooh!) and teaser chapters and deleted scenes (ahh!) and and and hmm, what else....

#6. OH, and how could I forget, I will also keep you up to date on the CW's development of EMBRACE as a potential new TV Series!

There is more, I'm sure. I just can't quite think about it this very moment. But I will! Very soon! And I will tell you all about it on my Facebook page, so go there now and click 'like'!

Thanks! ;-)
