GIVEAWAY!
Elijah Hawkins, the charismatic leader in CREED, has a reach that extends far beyond the picturesque town of Purity Springs. The question is…does he have a hold on your town too?
Starting today, snap a picture of CREED in your local bookstore or library and post it to any social media along with your state (tagging Trisha Leaver and me) and we will enter you into a raffle to win a grand prize pack that includes EVERY SINGLE TITLE in Flux's Fall 2014 line. Winner will be chosen either when all states in the US have checked in with a picture, OR on December 15.
**You do NOT need to purchase CREED to be entered. Simply take a picture of it in your local bookstore or library. If it isn't there, request that they carry it!**
CREED gets a new LOOK!
One of the joys of moving into a second print run is seeing the beautiful things the publishing industry has said about your book on the cover. And CREED is no exception. Here's the front of our amazing, new cover.
