US cover reveal!

Maybe you noticed it already but my US cover is up on amazon! It's totally different from my UK cover, isn't it? But I love them both. Isn't the red font amazingly creepy?
Don't forget: Pub date in the US is May 1st, 2012!

If you don't want to wait that long, you have the chance to win a UK ARC on Samantha's blog! The giveaway is open for US/Canada and Europe/UK!

Giveaway + photos!

My awesome UK publisher Usborne is giving away 3 proof copies of THE OTHER LIFE on goodreads! The giveaway is open until November 30th. You have to live in Great Britain to enter.

NaNo started yesterday and I'm participating this year. The book I'm working on was inspired by a few places I visited with my husband in the last few weeks.
Here are a few pics:

Watercastle Anholt. It's only about an hour from where we live.

The following photos show Castle Rheinfels. It towers over the rhine across from the famous Loreley.

The autumn weather has been fabulous in Germany so far. That isn't something that happens very often around here!

Winner + Blue Hair + Another giveaway!

First of all I want to show you my new haircut and new haircolor inspired by Karou from Daughter of Smoke and Bone (I absolutely loved that book!)

Next up: The winner of an ARC of THE OTHER LIFE is:

Shari

I'll contact you soon!

Last but not least:
You have the chance to win an ARC of The Other Life on the Dark Readers blog where I posted a scary childhood memory for their Halloween Booktacular.

First chapter of The Other Life!

You can read the first chapter of The Other Life on the website of my UK publisher, Usborne.
Exciting!!! (and terrifying!)

On Amazon!

My book is now available for pre-order on Amazon!
It's the US version and the title is slightly different from the UK version.
It's THE WEEPERS: THE OTHER LIFE
As you can see on Amazon, there isn't a cover up yet. That's because the US cover isn't the same as the UK cover that I revealed a few weeks ago.
So Exciting!

Winner!

The winner of an ARC of THE OTHER LIFE is:

Safari Poet

For all the others who didn't win: don't worry, I'll have another ARC contest soon!
