Cover and release date announcement: The Soul Seekers

The day has finally arrived. Most of you were here before I had a contract. You knew me when I was querying and rewriting and feeling all the down and outs of the publishing world. And you were here when I was finally able to announce the good news that WiDo had accepted my book, almost a year ago today. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for being such good friends and support through this whole process. I can't ever thank you enough! Having said that, here is the grand announcement for The Soul Seekers release date. And the shiny new cover, of course:





When Emma's father dies, she and her mother move cross country to a small, boring town. Now the only constant in Emma Shay's new life is him. Beautiful, silent, him: the mysterious guy at the library she secretly calls Superman because of his dark, good looks. But Emma is puzzled and intrigued by his behavior. He speaks at her but never to her. He comes up to touch her hair and then suddenly leaves. And then one day an impulsive meeting between them uncovers a strange truth about William Bennett.

Set in Southern Indiana during the summer of 1979, The Soul Seekers is about one girl and the future she tries to deny. Can she save William from his purgatory, or is she doomed to share his fate?

Release date: August 7, 2012.

    In the words of that man in 'Little Big-Man', "My heart soars like a hawk".

    Fantastic Amy - when is the release date in the UK? Can I buy it here in the UK? I am going to buy it no matter what - nothing will stop me.

    I am so glad for you - and Sarah T.

      Aw, that's so sweet! Thank you!

      I can only guess that it will be available in the UK. If not, I can always ship one out.

      Unless we have a fist-fight outside Joe's Bar, then you'll probably write dirty things about me on the girl's bathroom wall, with a hard promise never to buy my book. But I think we'd make up in time for the release. Don't you?
