YAmazing Race

Welcome to my blog and the next stop on the second YAmazing Race! I hope you are excited about the MGnificent prizes, the crazy whirlwind blog hop featuring over 50 debut authors and prize packs featuring ARCs, swag, and more! This is my second round and I hope it'll be as successful as the last. The YAmazing Race will go from Wednesday, May 2 at noon Eastern to Tuesday, May 8 at noon Eastern.

If you want to know more, then head on over to the Apocalypsies website to read the complete rules. Now on to the race!

THE WEEPERS: The Other Life
US cover (look to the right for the German and UK cover)

3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since I’d seen daylight. One-fifth of my life. 98,409,602 seconds since the heavy, steel door had fallen shut and sealed us off from the world

Sherry has lived with her family in a sealed bunker since things went wrong up above. But when they run out of food, Sherry and her dad must venture outside. There they find a world of devastation, desolation...and the Weepers: savage, mutant killers.

When Sherry's dad is snatched, she joins forces with gorgeous but troubled Joshua - an Avenger, determined to destroy the Weepers.

But can Sherry keep her family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them all
.


The Other Life releases May 15th in the US and it's already out in the UK!

And here's the UK trailer for my book:

In addition to the YAmazing Race, I'm having a bonus contest for you! I'm giving away two signed hardcover copies of The Weepers: The Other Life to two lucky winners!
