For a ticket to Earth, seventeen-year-old Anna-Maria “Ann” Solano is willing to jettison her birth planet, best friend, and the boy who loves her. Especially since all she’s required to do is escort Dace Keeling, a young naturalist, through the wilderness of the partially terraformed planet Eco. Ann‘s determination to escape the limitations of her small, frontier colony never falters, until Dace’s expeditions uncover three secrets. One offers riches, one shatters Ann’s perceptions of herself, and one reveals that the humans stranded on Eco are not its only inhabitants.
Ann’s willing to sacrifice friendship and love for a new life on Earth. But when an entire species is placed in jeopardy by her actions, she must make a choice – fulfill the dream that’s always sustained her, or save the planet she’s never considered home.
Care to share any experience you've had with a YA book release or have a question? Vicki would love to hear from you, so comment below!
Great post! I know authors who hated their covers, but they didn't admit this until a few years later. With one of my publishers, my agent had it written into the contract that I could refuse the cover if I didn't like it. Fortunately I didn't have to do that. It's my favorite cover so far. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your release, Vicki!
Thank you!
DeleteLuckily, I've been pretty fortunate with covers. I did have one series where I had no say in the covers and I hated them. I ended up taking the series back because the publisher wouldn't budge. I'm much happier now and sales improved with the new cover. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post and oh boy are covers important! Congrats to Vicki!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It's helpful to see a step-by-step that's manageable on what to do once you sign a publishing contract. Congrats to Vicki on her book!
ReplyDeleteExcellent tips. It's important to manage things timely.
ReplyDeleteWonderful information here. Thank you so much for this. I've entered, followed, and commented and shared on social media. Thanks for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteGreat step by step tips and advice. Thanks so much for putting it out like this. Wonderful information.
ReplyDeleteExcellent tips and advice for all the steps!
ReplyDeleteThe good support system is so important. I've been fortunate I have an amazing one. And fortunate that my publisher also creates awesome covers.
ReplyDeleteDoing the cover reveal on multiple platforms is a good idea, because just on Blogger or on Facebook and it becomes repetitive.
ReplyDeletelol Love her advice on the 'I suck' phase.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the super advice. I'm promoting my soon to be released book now and this helps. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteGreat post & I love the cover! I'll plug this page and the giveaway on my Friday Freebies blog feature tomorrow (Mar 11).
ReplyDeleteGreat cover and congrats to Vicki. I believe in engaging with people on social media. It's not just about selling books, but making meaningful connections.
ReplyDeleteSo true. And engaging in a meaningful way, too, not just to 'make' a connection.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
