More news for you this week!

Here's the UK cover for Die For You by Amy Plum! How gorgeous is it?! I love it! And I love the sound of this book!

Die For You by Amy Plum
“In the City of Lights, two star-crossed lovers battle a fate that is destined to tear them apart again and again for eternity.”

“When Kate Mercier’s parents die in a tragic car accident, she leaves her life—and memories—behind to live with her grandparents in Paris. For Kate, the only way to survive her pain is escaping into the world of books and Parisian art. Until she meets Vincent.

Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly handsome, Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate’s guarded heart with just his smile. As she begins to fall in love with Vincent, Kate discovers that he’s a revenant—an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save the lives of others. Vincent and those like him are bound in a centuries-old war against a group of evil revenants who exist only to murder and betray. Kate soon realizes that if she follows her heart, she may never be safe again.

In this incandescent debut, newcomer Amy Plum has created a powerful paranormal mythology with immortal revenants. The Paris setting comes enchantingly alive as a relentless struggle between good and evil takes place in its streets. Rich with romance, atmosphere, and thrills, Die for Me will leave readers breathlessly awaiting its sequel.”

A message from Angela Morrison:

"Please celebrate with me! I just got the news that the world-renowned Amabile Youth Singers' recording of, "Take me Home," Beth's solo in SING ME TO SLEEP, is now available on iTunes.

Please, please download it! My amazing composer, Harriet Bushman, and I donated our royalties, so all the iTunes proceeds go to keep the Amabile family singing. I am amazed at what Harriet and the Amabile girls turned my humble lyrics into.

For those of you who haven't read SING, "Take me Home" is a gospel spiritual about a slave girl who wants the Good Lord to take her home. Beth wins the solo from the diva in her competitive girls' choir--and her life is never the same. The Amabile guys, who inspired the story, previously released,"Beth's Song.""
