WIP Friday: TANGLED Cover!
Apologies for the blog/twitter/facebook/tumblr/telephone/textmessage silence. I am working feverishly on BOUND, the third book of the Torn Trilogy, so that I can revise it. I loathe the drafting. I love the revising. The fact that I am still doing the former and not the latter means that I am, frankly, unfit for society right now.
BUT! People have been writing and asking me all kinds of questions about TANGLED. Most of those questions center around three things:
When is it out? (February 2012. Technically, January 31st, but that's close enough.)
Do you have a cover? (Yes.)
Mo ends up with (insert boy's name here), right? RIGHT???? (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.)
Okay, that last one was kind of mean. To make it up to you, I'll revisit question two:
YES! I have a cover!
They are planning on adding some fancy-ish effects to the title, but those will only appear on the hard copies, obviously. The tagline is a bit hard to read here, but it says, "Deception takes practice," which I love, because it sums up this book perfectly, and because I am a dork who loves literary allusions.
You know what else I geek out about? Fonts. And as it turns out, this font...is the same one that was used for movie adaptation of The Golden Compass. This makes me ridiculously happy, because those books are among my all-time favorites. A tenuous connection, but I will take what I can get, you know?
In case you haven't seen it, here's the back cover copy for TANGLED.
Constance started to keen as the air around us began to thrash and twist, the caustic scent of ozone burning my nose. As I watched, her dark gold hair began to lift and kink into knots.
"I'm here. It'll be okay." It was the last thing I said before my best friend's little sister went supernova in the second-floor girls' bathroom, taking me with her.
A month ago, Mo Fitzgerald risked her life to stop an ancient prophecy and avenge her best friend's murder. Now, she only wants to keep her loved ones safe. But the magic—and the Chicago Mob—have other plans.
Mysterious, green-eyed Luc is back, asking for help—and a second chance. Colin, her strongest protector, is hiding a shocking secret. And inside Constance, the magic is about to go terribly wrong. Tangled in a web of love and betrayal, Mo must choose between the life she's dreamed of and the one she's destined for.
I really love this book, guys. I can't wait for you to read it. And now I'm going to go lock myself in my office again, because if I don't, you'll NEVER get the answer to question three. In the meantime, if you have other questions, leave them in the comments, and I'll answer them next week.
