Razorland Unveiled

Razorland

Here’s my lovely, lovely cover. There will be tweak(s) in the final version, but nothing major. What do you think? Does it make you want to read the book? I’ll have some ARCs to give away soon and I’m looking to take your temperature on it. It’s dystopian post-apocalyptic YA with a tough girl heroine, Deuce, and the brooding emo boy, Fade, who fights beside her as her partner in the subterranean tunnels where they live.

Anyone interested in this?

ETA: I’ve made a Razorland Sampler (first two chapters) available on my website in both .pdf and .epub.

    For-freaking-sure. Looks awesome!

    I keep looking at all the little bits and bobs on them and wondering if they have significance. :)

    sounds great. and the fight will be on. I have a 14 yr old and 20 yr old who like to read what I do. Since it is a YA they’ll think they get first dibs rofl

    Definitely eye-catching! About the guy – I think he looks like a younger version of Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

    Even though I’m an older reader and not a “YA” this books sounds fantastic and I’d love to read it. I love the cover, very evocative of a post-apocalyptic world.

    I would love to read this one. Read the excerpt – and liked it! :) I want to know more about Fade’s backstory and what was on that piece of paper. *goes off to look up when this book is supposed to come out… ack, 2011!*

    Love the cover, read the excerpt, they both rock. Not entering for an ARC (I’m an unreliable and sucky reviewer) but this is going on my tbr list.

    I would love to read this, because YA is what I write. You’ve just wandered from Lisaland into Joe Territory! ;) (Alas, no, I have not read the sampler. I have O/C tendencies, and simply cannot begin reading it until I have the whole thing in my grubby little fingers. I would love to win an ARC, but if I don’t, you know Lisa and I will buy this book as soon as it comes out.)

    BTW, Lisa hasn’t seen you on Twitter lately but she just finished Hell Fire and she says it’s your best one yet!
