Touch of Death is Officially Here!

Yesterday was the day I'd been waiting for for over a year. My debut YA novel, Touch of Death, released into the world. Yes, Amazon released it early and the ebook came out in December, but January 15 was my official release EVERYWHERE!



So to celebrate, I'm holding one last giveaway. This time it's for a finished copy of the book. And yes, there will be SWAG, but it will include some never before seen items. Here's what one lucky winner will receive:

A signed first edition of Touch of Death
AND...
A prize package including:
  • Touch of Death bookmarks
  • A mirror with the 13th sign of the zodiac on it
  • Touch of Death stickers
  • 13th sign of the zodiac stickers
  • A stuffed zombie deer
  • A box of mac and cheese (courtesy of Alex)
  • A blood stone in honor of Medusa's bloodstone locket
  • zombie button
  • key (Because Abby has keys to all the rooms in the Ophi school)

Sound good? All you have to do is enter below. The giveaway will run until 11:59pm on January 31. And yes, the giveaway is international because I love you all no matter where you live. Good luck!

    YAHOO!!!!!! Mind if i post this as my fun fact Friday? Do you mind giving the detail on how long it took from the time your agent signed to you getting the deal with Spencer Hill? (Yes you can say no - I still want to post about your book and the 1 year to print fact if that's okay.)

    Touch of Death sounds really good. Jodi Marshall seems an amazing character and I really want to learn more about her.
