Blog 40 - Cover Reveal for Velveteen!

Today I would like to dedicate this blog post to help an author get the word out about his book. Daniel Marks has his debut novel coming out this October, October 9th to be exact from Delacorte Press. I'm pleased to present to you the cover of:
 

 Now I love this cover. I love that this cover sets the tone for the story. How the girl on the cover looks the part of being a corpse with all the sharp angles on her face, and the paleness of her lips. The contrast of their skin against the dark background is beautiful. With the cover being in a gray-scale type color scheme, the title just really pops out. I like that.

About Velveteen

Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem.

The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind.

Bonesaw.

Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome.

But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.

Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.

Now you can pre-order this book on Amazon, The Book Depository, and Barnes and Noble.
