CHRONAL ENGINE jacket and news!

I received the mockup of the CHRONAL ENGINE jacket the other day.  The photo doesn't quite convey its awesomeness, but it's foil.  Yes, shiny.  If you put it in the microwave, it'll actually sparkle.  (This is a hypothesis -- I'm not going to actually test it out :-)).  The great design is by Clarion's Sharismar Rodriguez, and you might recognize the author photo from here. 

Also, CHRONAL ENGINE was featured last week in a Goddess of YA Literature blog post and in a post over at Turning the Pages.  Thanks for the kind words!

Save the dates:
