INTO THE DIM cover is revealed on YABooksCentral.com!! (With AWESOME giveaways)

There aren’t many times in a person’s life when a dream comes true.

Oh, maybe you occasionally wish for this or that to happen, and when it does you think: “Well, that’s nice, isn’t it?”

But I’m talking about the realization of an actual, honest-to-God, lifelong Dream. Come. True. 

Today, that happened to me. Today I get to present the unbelievably gorgeous cover of my book to the world. It took a lot of blood, a ton of sweat (ick) and an entire ocean of tears to get to this point in my life, and I hope you love it as much as I do!!

So…without any more of my yapping… Here it is. The official cover for INTO THE DIM! (Debuting 3/1/2016 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.)

 

Thank you so much to CJ Redwine at YABooksCentral for hosting the reveal! Visit them HERE to enter the fabulous GIVEAWAY!!

SIGHHHHHHHHH……..

The first time I saw this image, I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t breathe. I think…I THINK my heart stopped beating for a bit. My husband quietly asked if perhaps I needed CPR? The way phenomenal cover artist, Michael Heath, captured MY main character and her struggle just blew my brains out my ears.

Only secrets from her past can save her future.

The “homeschooled girl” in a small town, Hope Walton’s crippling phobias don’t exactly don’t endear her to her adoptive dad’s perfectly blond, perfectly southern family. But when her mother is killed in a natural disaster thousands of miles from home, Hope’s secluded world crumbles. After an aunt she’s never met invites her to spend the summer in Scotland, Hope discovers her mother was more than a brilliant academic, but also a member of a secret society of time travelers, who is trapped in the twelfth century during the age of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Now Hope must conquer her fears and travel back in time to rescue her mother before she’s lost for good. Along the way, she’ll discover more family secrets, and a mysterious boy who could be vital to setting her mother free . . . or the key to Hope’s undoing.

Addictive and rich with historical detail, Into the Dim is an Outlander for teens, and an unlikely heroine’s story of adventure, sacrifice, and first love in a high-stakes race against time itself.
