GIVEAWAY IS AT THE BOTTOM OF POST!!!
It's here, finally! The official cover of Controlling the Dead. About this cover, I love it, and I tried to make it as awesome as the first cover, but I still feel it falls short... that's okay because I wasn't really expecting to out-do book one with the cover. It's all in content. =)
Controlling the Dead, The Famished Trilogy Book Two
Release Date: TBA- Spring

Release Date: TBA- Spring
With the help of her new companions, the path Kansas follows leads to more knowledge of the ever adapting famished.
The team finds help in unlikely places, meeting more survivors, and discovers the possibility of a new beginning.
When the team experiences a devastating loss, Kansas struggles to keep her humanity from fading and distorting like that of the surviving society around her. It begins with knowing who to trust and who to leave behind. First, she must trust herself – she won't make the same mistakes twice.
As the answers to her questions are revealed, Kansas begins to understand the knowledge comes with a heavy price and great responsibility of controlling the dead.
In a trilogy plot thick with twists and turns, this adult dark fantasy is as emotional as it is horrifyingly gripping.
I just want to thank all the awesome bloggers featuring the new cover, blurb, and TRAILER!! That's right, there's a trailer.
Dave is super nice, and he has my forever undying gratitude.
A very LOVING thanks to my cover model. You'll always be my pickle, Laurin. XOXO!!
SUPER THANKS and Wicked smiles and bloody bites to all the blogs that will feature me in the cover reveal:

Okay, so you want to know about the release... the only thing I have to say about it, is that it will be soon. I was hoping to have it all done before Spring March 21, 2013. That would be about 6 months since I published Taking on the Dead. April is more realistic, depending on editors.
With that said, after Controlling the Dead is released, I'm working on another series and will publish the first book before I publish the conclusion of The Famished Trilogy.
Please do have patience with me. I'm working on a ton of projects including stories for anthologies. I hope my weekly installments of Bailing Out into the Dead helps get you through. =)
Oh yeah, I'm doing a giveaway. An eARC of Controlling the Dead and major swagage. This is open internationally, but the swag is USA only. =)
This ARC will be given out before I give it to my editors, but after my beta readers... that's a good month before I publish.
Leave me a comment... let me know how you like the new cover, Bailing Out into the Dead, the trailer, or anything you want... make sure to leave your email. =)
Ends on Feb. 24th.

I like the cover. I think it will go good with the first book. I do have to say i like the first book cover better. I can not wait to read the next one.

I think the first cover is epic, and so hard to beat. That being said, I think this cover is still pretty great.

ReplyDeleteI too like the cover of the second book, but I think I agree with you that it is not as strong as the first cover was, but I think it would still make me stop and take a look to see what the book was all about.

I think the first cover does the synopsis justice, especially when compared to the first cover. In the first one, she's on the road, running, and now it looks like she's standing her ground, taking a stand. Love it :)
