One week from today, The Kiss of Deception will be out!

I can't believe it's almost here!

So much is coming up to celebrate: Blog tours, twitter chats, and of course, the launch party! Keep an eye out for details on my News and Events page.

If you plan on getting The Kiss of Deception, I would be EVER so grateful if you preordered it from your favorite bookseller. What does preordering do? It sends a strong message to booksellers to stock this book on their shelves and recommend it to other readers!

Also, if you'd like a signed, personalized copy you can preorder it from my local indie. Details and links are here.

Huge thanks to all who have, and are blogging, tweeting, and shouting out about The Kiss of Deception!

The Map!!

I finally got word that I can share! And just let me say, I've been swooning for weeks over this map! It's in the final book, and it is simply gorgeous.

It's drawn by the amazing artist, Keith Thompson, who also created the maps for Scott Westerfield's Leviathan series, and Leigh Bardugo's Grisha series. I was awestruck through all the initial sketches and the final just blew me away.

Poster! One side is the cover and the other the map!

Closeup of lower right corner.

Besides being on the inside cover of the book, the Macmillan designers created a beautiful 16X20 inch poster of it. The Kiss of Deception cover is on one side and the map is on the other. I'm going to frame both sides and hang them in my office!

And . . . Mysterious Galaxy, my local indie here in San Diego, is taking preorders where you can get a signed, personalized copy of The Kiss of Deception--PLUS they will include this 16X20 poster! Win-win! So if you want the poster too, get yourself hither over to their site!

I can't wait for you to see the final book with the map inside. I want to hug all the designers for all their attention to the smallest details. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I'm doing a little twirl around my kitchen (maybe a big twirl)

The Kiss of Deception just got its third *starred* review! This one is from School Library Journal. Here's a little snip:

"Pearson, author of the popular “Jenna Fox Chronicles” (Holt), has created the first in a marvelous new fantasy series that is sure to find an audience with devotees of Suzanne Collins’s “The Hunger Games” and John Flanagan’s “Ranger’s Apprentice” books . . . Romance, adventure, mysticism—this book has it all."

I am so, SO grateful for all the readers who have read this book before publication and embraced Lia and her world. And spread the word! THANK YOU!

And now more news . . .
My website is updated and you can get a little glimpse of some of the "goodies" that will be coming for The Remnant Chronicles over the next few weeks on THIS PAGE

Woot! Lots of fun stuff to come!
