Good News, Giveaways, and other Good Things

Ahhhh, doing some serious happy author dancing here today! Why? Oh, because I just signed my contract with Evernight Teen for An Absence of Light, that's why :) It'll be due out in November. This is a completely different novel, with a very different world, and is much creepier. How creepy? Well, this image is on my Pinterest board for the book, just to give you a little taste:

This is the very tentative blurb:

Leah’s always seen the shadow creatures. She thought she was immune to their evil—until now.

She’s walked into a massacre, stolen a BMW, and is running from the law for a crime she didn’t commit. Nineteen-year-old Leah’s life just went from mildly abnormal to totally crazy at lightning speed. But no one will believe that the shadow creatures are framing her for the murder, because she’s the only one that can see them. At least that’s what she thought.

When Leah stumbled across a group who share her ability, she discovers they have something she doesn’t: a way to fight back. When the group offers to teach her how to kill the shadow creatures, Leah jumps at the chance. But something is brewing with the creatures. They’re tracking down the hunters like there’s no tomorrow. Leah suspects that maybe there won’t be, and it’s up to her to make sure tomorrow comes. Because she’ll do anything to stop the shadows, including risking her life—and the life of the one she loves—to keep the world from being lost to darkness forever.

Not enough fun? :) Well, there's this awesome giveaway going on with TONS of prizes, including Surrender the Sky, so go check it out! There's seriously just oodles of awesome!

Soooo, yep! And today's a writing day, so I'm very much hoping to get through the last of this awesome WIP that I utterly can't wait to share with you all!

What's going on in your world? Enjoying summer?
