COVER AND TITLE REVEAL…IN HALF Jennifer Nielsen May 31, 2012

COVER AND TITLE REVEAL…IN HALF

Okay, so let’s acknowledge a quirky little fun fact about publishing. Which is this: publishers sometimes change their minds. Funny, right? Not ha-ha funny, I know, but “I left a comment, now where’s my prize” sort of funny.

No worries. I’m still doing the giveaway, but I have to change the terms a little. Because yesterday afternoon I got a note from my wonderful publicist and editor (seriously, I love them both) asking me to hold off for a little while. So unfortunately, I can’t release that yet. My sincere apologies to all of you.

I do have permission to still release the title though – so to celebrate that, all comments below are eligible to win, and as before, all Tweets and Facebook posts continue to count as extra entries.

And as before, this contest ends on Friday, so please Tweet and Facebook the title of Book 2 for further extra entries to win a signed copy of THE FALSE PRINCE, and a grand prize of a donated Skype visit to the group of your choice.

So, let’s get to the title reveal (drum roll sounds off in your head). The second book of the Ascendance trilogy will be called:

THE RUNAWAY KING

Feel free to speculate on plot, and on the further adventures of your favorite characters. I’m allowed to say one thing only about the plot, which is this: For Sage, it gets worse.

Finally, as a favor to those who have not yet read Book 1, I’m asking you to please check your comments, tweets, and status updates for spoilers. I LOVE hearing chatter and answering questions about this series, but it’s so easy to accidentally reveal crucial pieces of that plot. Out of respect to other readers, please be careful.

The cover reveal is coming soon – I promise, along with jacket copy and a firm release date (all I know now is sometime in spring 2013).

I will announce the winners tomorrow! Thank you for reading, and thank you for sharing.

    Cool Title, Jen! Can’t wait to see your cover.

    I just did a Cover Reveal this morning on my blog and Facebook. Got the go-ahead yesterday! Whew. Check it out. We’ll both have Spring, 2013 books, too! Yay! ;-)http://kimberleygriffithslittle.blogspot.com/2012/05/cover-reveal-time-and-ton-of-easy.html

    The Runaway king

    Hmm… somewhat contrasting from my idea what the next title of the book is, my guess for the next title of the book is The Fallen King.But I think the title of the next book (the Runaway King) will catch the interest of the readers and I think it will have an awesome story plot. I’m excited about your next book and I’m excited also what will be the color of your next book. Somehow I win that contest 🙂 haha…

    Love, love LOVE the title. I already have guesses as to what will happen, but I don’t want to spoil the AMAZING ending of Book 1, so I’ll keep them to myself for not! Still guessing red for the cover though 🙂

    I’m tweeting and posting on FB!

    Just revealed the new book title. We are super excited to read book one as soon as our Scholastic order is shipped, it is being processed as I type.
    Once we get book one finished we will start speculations on The Runaway King.

    I wonder if Roden will come back into the plot. He would have to, or else Sage would have killed him. And I wonder if Imogen will be the queen
