THE SECOND SIGN Cover Reveal & ARC Tour

I know we all do it: dream about what the covers of our books will look like. When Elizabeth Arroyo, my critique partner, gave me the honor of reading a draft of THE SECOND SIGN, I knew right away that this story was special. I knew in my gut it would get published.

My gut was right.
Liz is going to be a debut author! Squueeee! Once I learned that Sapphire Star Publishing was going to release the book on February 7, 2013 I've been trying to imagine what the cover of THE SECOND SIGN would look like. I knew it'd be pretty awesome, but I'd never in my wildest dreams expect it to be as amazing as this:

*DRUM ROLL*

*FOLLOWED BY FIREWORKS*

*NOW IMAGINE A THICK MIST FILLS THE ROOM AND THE SECOND SIGN IS MOVING TOWARDS YOU, PARTING THE GREY SMOKEY TENDRILS*

I can't stop looking at it. 

Here's a little bit about THE SECOND SIGN:

Bred to believe in the war between angels and demons, Gabby has come to the conclusion that love is responsible for war, jealousy, and all the other deadly sins she can think of. So when she’s exiled to the middle of nowhere for getting kicked out of her fifth school for fighting, she doesn't expect to meet Jake. Much less fall in love. But Jake is quickly drawn to the eerie beauty of her violet eyes while Gabby is unsettled by their undeniable connection.

When a demon guardian comes to collect her soul, she refuses to give it up. She’s not a demon. She can’t be. Her father and twin brother are angels. The demon gives Gabby twenty-four hours to decide her allegiance, and then starts killing her short list of friends, leaving a message behind: She is the Second Sign.

As Gabby and Jake begin to unravel the mystery behind the Second Sign, she learns Jake may be the key to saving her soul. But it means a sacrifice has to be made that will change their lives forever. 

I'm hosting an ARC Tour for THE SECOND SIGN and I'm looking for participants.

I would like a boat load of people to read this book before its release in February and I want to flood cyber space with blogs promoting THE SECOND SIGN. If you'd like to participate in the ARC TOUR you will have to commit to the following:

1. Reading the book fast. Don't let the ARC sit on your shelf until February. We want to circulate this solo copy of THE SECOND SIGN to as many people as possible before the release.

2. Blog about the book

3. Pay to ship the book via priority mail (which typically costs $4.95) at the post office to the next person on the ARC Tour list. The Post Office provides free priority mail envelopes.

4. You're encouraged to write in the book, not only to sign it and leave Liz an awesome message about how much you enjoyed it, but also feel free to comment on any page where you think something is good/cool/whatever. Smiley faces and hearts are always welcome!
