Congratulations, winners!  Please email me at emilywhite_1112@yahoo.com to leave your mailing address.

And thanks to everyone for stopping by during the blog job. :)  It was so exciting to receive all your wonderful comments.

If you're disappointed you didn't win (and as someone who hardly ever wins anything, I completely understand), I give away free stuff all the time!  Just click on the tab above that says Swag! Stuff! Free! (or click the link) and order some very gorgeous bookmarks.  And if you're sad you didn't win a pre-order of ELEMENTAL, well, you can still order one yourself!!  Trust me, it's completely worth the wait.  Plus, it will be like a second Christmas when that probably forgotten package comes to your door.  :)  (that's not to say my book is forgettable--gasp!--but I order stuff all the time and forget about it a week later.  It's always so exciting to get that package when I wasn't expecting anything :) ).

Just because Ella can burn someone to the ground with her mind doesn't mean she should...

but she wants to.

For ten years--ever since she was a small child--Ella has been held prisoner. Now that she has escaped, she needs answers. Who is she? Why was she taken? And who is the boy with the beautiful green eyes who haunts her memories?

Is Ella the prophesied Destructor... or will she be the one who's destroyed?



There it is. My lovely. And today I have some amazing stuff planned for all of you! Like holy-cow-this-place-is-hosting-a-contest kind of amazing.

And I also have a never before seen snippet from my debut novel, Elemental (coming out May 1, 2012 through Spencer Hill Press)

Snippet first, and then I'll get to the prizes three (yes, I said THREE) of you could win!

Enjoy!

I couldn’t register the pain at first. Though their claws dug and ripped through my skin, sending warm blood to run down my arms and legs, my mind moved too slowly. Someone’s screams echoed in my ears and I was surprised to realize they were mine. Then the pain rolled through me like waves, and I screamed louder until the Shakai digging at my face choked off my shrieks. Hooked pincers slid in my mouth and tore at my tongue as they fought to get down my throat.

As I swiped my hands at the bugs, ripping one off only to find five more to take its place, my body started to warm and tingle. At first, I thought maybe I was passing out, but the tingling turned into a sharp burning. Pain scorched through my veins, charring me from the inside out. I couldn’t even feel the Shakai ripping me apart anymore.

I clenched my teeth against it, willing my body to ignore the throbbing. It would not be ignored. The pain seeped into my head and I screamed, ready for it to explode. My eyes bulged, pushed from beneath by the sheer force of the agony. Too exhausted to fight anymore, I gave in and let the pain have me, praying for death.

The moment I let go of my control, the pain vanished, replaced by hunger. For what, I didn’t know yet. All I did know was that every cell of my body ached to devour.

And now for the prizes!

All you have to do is follow this blog and leave a comment for your chance to win a signed poster (it looks just like the cover) and a pre-order of Elemental!! I will draw three winners on Wednesday, the 10th.

Good luck! And have fun visiting all the other participating blogs!!
