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?

I cannot wait!! It looks awesome!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
For-freaking-sure. Looks awesome!
I keep looking at all the little bits and bobs on them and wondering if they have significance. :)
July 9th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
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

About the boy, Karen, he looks like a young Ryan Phillippe doesn’t he?
July 10th, 2010 at 1:00 am
Definitely eye-catching! About the guy – I think he looks like a younger version of Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

July 10th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
P.S I blogged you. http://gwenhayes.blogspot.com/
July 10th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
I don’t normally read YA, but I would be willing to give this a shot. The cover looks good.
July 10th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Oh my goodness! That looks just incredible! Even with out your little spiel about the book I WANT to read it!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:39 pm

July 10th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Cover looks great and sounds like an awesome story too! I’m a sucker for female heros! Can’t wait to get my hands on this!
July 10th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
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.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
So who’s read the excerpt?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
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!*
July 10th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Wow Anne this looks great. I would definitely want to read this if I saw it on a shelf. Congrats on a great cover. Plus, the cover quote is pretty cool! :)
July 11th, 2010 at 10:28 am
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.
July 11th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
The cover is great!!! The story sounds like it will be a wonderful read. Can’t wait to read it.
July 12th, 2010 at 8:16 am
Hi Ann!
oh my, the cover is gorgeous!!!! I saw it on another blog earlier and I fell immediately in love with it :)
can’t wait to preorder it *gg*
greetings, Ina
July 12th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Interested? Oh, so, SO interested. I know it’s YA, but frankly my dear, I don’t give a darn. I luuurves me some post-apocalypse!
I love the cover, too. Would definitely pick it up if I saw that sitting on the shelf!
July 12th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Wow! Loved the chapters and now I’m itching to read it all. By the way the cover is great!
July 12th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Hi Anna!! I’m from México
Before than nothing i want to say that the cover is Awesome!!
Also i want to know when it’s goin to be published this book??
Saludos desde México
July 13th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
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!
July 14th, 2010 at 10:50 am
Oh yay! I’m glad she feels that way. I was awfully proud of Hell Fire and I am even more proud of Shady Lady.
July 15th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Love love love the cover!!!! :D
It looks very gritty and dark and almost steampunkish! :D
July 19th, 2010 at 11:45 am
ACK! HOW did I miss this? Love it!! Must go read excerpt. ;)
July 19th, 2010 at 11:55 am
I read some of the excerpt and am liking it! The cover and story is giving me that Mad Max kind of vibe.
July 19th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Excerpt is incredible. Can’t wait to see the final cover with the tweaks!
July 20th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Gasp!
