The winner also gets a super limited edition of art inspired by the novel. (yes, I painted it.) It is ready to swim out into the world. (no pun intended.) (Okay, fine, intended.) To give you an idea of what you will be winning, here is a picture.

New Year
Or, why I have neglected my blog.
But Also, welcome to my website!
I'd been hoping to do a big contest with a website reveal, but it took nearly 8 months to this site up and running. Here is a warning to debut writers hiring someone to do your site: be very specific about your timeline.
But anyway. I do have news to share. BOOK 2 is done and done. I can finally do other things like clean my apartment, pick up my dry cleaning, cook my own food, swim down the Atlantic, go to the gym. Maybe even shower... I can do stuff that doesn't involve sitting on my couch with my laptop drilled into my thighs. I don't understand where the term like a boss came from. Seeing it thrown around the blogosphere makes me feel like it's an appropriate attribution to this feeling. I finished book 2, like a boss. The Savage Blue continues Tristan's journey. More mermaids, murder and mayhem coming your way.
BUT FIRST! With the release for The Vicious Deep only 3 months away, I'm resisting the urge to hide in my closet until someone comes to collect me. I've already been seeing ARCs popping up all over the place.
So here is a tiny questionnaire that would help me figure out some things for the next few weeks, if you all would be lovely and leave suggestions in the comments:
what are some things you like to learn about your writers?
what kind of giveaways interest you the most?
what do you want to see more from debut writers? Q&As, Vlogs, etc.
actually a mermaid like,
Zoraida

In case you were wondering, I have not been eaten by sharks. I am busy writing and editing and planning 2012 domination. In February I plan on hosting my first ARC giveaway along with a SUPER COOL SECRET prize. Seriously, I just want to keep them all to myself. But, this year is going to be about thinking of others. (Lets see how long that lasts!) (JJ).
Okay, diving in for some sleep and more writing.

New Beginnings
Or, HAVE A MERRY MERMAN CHRISTMAS
The Vicious Deep cover has gone through a roller coaster. Which is appropriate since it takes place in Coney Island. Not only do we have a fabulous new cover, but the book has gone from paperback to hardcover! It's already up on Amazon. They do work fast!
Look at how blue! How wavy! How tridenty! How Vicious Deepy.... Okay those last couple are strange ways to describe it. But I'm so glad to have gone through this cover journey.
Now go do the loving thing: GOODREADS + TWITTER + FACEBOOK + PRE-ORDER AMAZON + PREORDER B&N

Cover Reveal: If I Lie by Corrine Jackson!
A powerful debut novel about the gray space between truth and perception.
Quinn's done the unthinkable: she kissed a guy who is not Carey, her boyfriend. And she got caught. Being branded a cheater would be bad enough, but Quinn is deemed a traitor, and shunned by all of her friends. Because Carey's not just any guy—he's serving in Afghanistan and revered by everyone in their small, military town.
Quinn could clear her name, but that would mean revealing secrets that she's vowed to keep—secrets that aren't hers to share. And when Carey goes MIA, Quinn must decide how far she'll go to protect her boyfriend…and her promise.
IF I LIE debuts August 28, 2012.

Paranormal Christmas Giveaway
Or, if you don't want these books for Christmas, then we can no longer be friends.
I've had the pleasure of joining one of the coolest groups of 2012. THE debut YA/MG/Children's books writers of 2012. The Apocalypsies. We're gearing up for the big bang. The, holy crap my book REALLY is coming out next year for everyone to get their grubby mits on and judge me reality of it all.
*deep breath*
But wait! There's more...
Some members of the Apocalypsies have already debuted! And you can own them NOW through this giveaway, my gift to you. And even BETTER, both books are signed by their respective author ladies. I had the pleasure of meeting up with them both one fateful night in New York City.
POSSESS by Gretchen McNeil and DARKER STILL by Leanna Renee Hieber. Because if Charles Dickens has taught us anything it's that nothing says Christmas like being afraid of the dark!
Above is proof of their awesomely awesome signatures. And the answer is yes, yes I am wearing boxers that say NAUGHTY. What can I say, it's Christmas time.
*Ahem* Now for the giveaway deets. It's super easy:
US & Canada only
1: fill out the form2: tweet about the contest3: follow me (if you want to live) on twitter @zlikeinzorro4. wait till December 19th when I announce the winner!
I appreciate comment love and WILL SHIP it gift wrapped and all. Granted you already know what's IN it. But if you're like me, I like tearing into that wrapping paper and pretending like I'm surprised.
