The Penguin Art Department (thanks, folks!) outdid themselves with this one. This is the just released cover for FIRESPELL, the first book in my YA Dark Elite series, which will be released in January 2010.
A couple of upcoming items: I’m pleased to announce that SOME GIRLS BITE will be mentioned in the July issue of Geek Monthly magazine. So very apropos. Also, check out Fang-Tastic Books on Friday, May 8, for an interview. I can’t promise to answer all your Merit-and-Ethan questions, but maybe you’ll learn a thing or two!
Finally, are you curious about where Merit’s stories get written? (Normally, with a laptop, on the couch, in front of the television.) But coming soon–a brand new office! I’m tracking my office creation over at Write What You See. Check it out! (And feel free to offer suggestions!)

Nice cover, I like the dark and secretive feel to it.
Thanks, FD. I do, too!
This is one of my all-time favorite covers!
Way to go on making it into “Geek”!!
I LOVE this cover as well. Very nice!
