Release news—and a giveaway!
The paperback of my most recent novel, Dark of the Moon, has just been released! Isn't it gorgeous?
Dark of the Moon is a retelling of the myth of the Minotaur, maybe more YA than MG (although most of my books straddle the boundary), in which high-priestess-in-training Ariadne, the Minotaur's sister, struggles with the fact that her ancient moon-goddess religion is dying. Her belief system and traditions are further threatened by the arrival of the Athenian Prince Theseus. He arrives on Crete with a whole new set of beliefs and traditions, and worse—he has come to kill Ariadne's beloved brother.
When the book arrived, I'm afraid I held up the cover and had Ariadne smooch the cover of King of Ithaka.
Seriously, wouldn't they have beautiful children?
And now for the giveaway! Leave a comment here sometime in the next week (by midnight, November 20) and I'll choose someone at random to receive a signed—or not, as you prefer—copy of the paperback of Dark of the Moon.

I laughed at the idea of the covers smooching--but I SERIOUSLY want to win DARK OF THE MOON, so throw my name in the hat, please.

It couldn't hurt, Cathy! JK. A roll of the dice will decide it!
DeleteFun! I love mythology retellings.
ReplyDeleteMe too! (Obviously!)
DeleteDitto on the cover kiss, Tracy--funny how our books make us kids again, eh?
ReplyDeleteIt really is embarrassing how goofy I get when I hold a finished copy in my hands!
DeleteThe cover definitely catches my eye and the story sounds even more intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea!
DeleteGreat cover, indeed, and yes to beautiful book-babies. :) Congratulations, Tracy -- I know just the reader for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Irene!
DeleteOoh, those are both gorgeous covers! If the giveaway is open internationally (I'm in the UK), I'd love to enter - but no worries if it's US-only.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
Of course it's open internationally! What's a little postage between cyberfriends?
