THANK YOU!!

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who entered the DEMONGLASS giveaway! I was totally blown away by all of your generosity, as was C.J. You are all AMAZING and MADE OF FLOWERS AND SAUSAGES! Besos!

And BIG CONGRATS to Maria, who, thanks to Random Number Generator, won the ARC of DEMONGLASS, and will soon know the identity of The Lip Toucher! ;-)

But since SO many of you entered, and I am SO THANKFUL for that, I'll give y'all a couple of treats!

First off, THREE random snippets from DEMONGLASS:

"Maybe the rumor is true. Maybe you didn't kill him because you're in love with him."



Jenna shook her head. "Sophie, when are you going to start remembering that we have magical powers? We're not driving, we're... well, I don't know how we're getting there, exactly, but it'll be, you know." She waved her hands in the air. "Maaaaaaagic."


"Actually, we came here because we heard it was free corn dog night. Imagine our disappointment."


Also, here's a VERY old blog post from when I was working on DEMONGLASS, and which reveals several of the locations used in the book! It's a little confusing, since HEX HALL used to be called DEMONGLASS, but then we went with HEX HALL, but then we decided to used DEMONGLASS for HEX HALL 2, and...yeah. But hopefully y'all follow me!

I ended up using almost all of these pictures as locales in the book, even though I DID change the season from winter to summer. So go, look, read the captions, and use your imagination. ;-)


And again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Yay! Thank you so much :-) I can't wait to read Demonglass and share it with our teen reviewers at the library.
