Early Elite Goodies (& stuff about The Prince!)

So you want to read a bit of The Elite? Well, I don’t blame you. Because it’s awesome. And the lovely people over at HarperTeen agree! So, here’s the deal, if you buy the paperback version of The Selection (due out March 26^th), it comes with the first chapter of The Elite! I know, right? But it gets even better.

Maybe you already have copy of The Selection and would like to read even MORE of The Elite EARLIER than March 26^th. Well, cool. If you order my e-novella, The Prince (due out March 5^th), it comes with the first TWO chapters.

A reminder! The Prince will only be available in e-format. If you do not have an e-reader, you can still access it on a computer or with something like a Kindle or Nook app on your phone or tablet.

Oh, and can we just talk for a minute about the summary for The Prince? Just deal with this for a second:

Before thirty-five girls were chosen to compete in the Selection . . .

Before Aspen broke America's heart . . .

There was another girl in Prince Maxon's life. . .  

Don't miss this thrilling 128-page original novella set in the world of the New York Times bestselling novel The Selection. Also features a teaser to The Elite, Kiera Cass's hotly anticipated sequel to The Selection.

To summarize: In less than two months, you will be able to have a portion of The Selection told through Maxon’s POV via The Prince AND read the first two chapters of The Elite. Pre-order, baby! Pre-order!

Red Tree and Facebook

I’m excited to announce that my agent Elana has started her own boutique literary agency, Red Tree Literary. I’m happy to be with an agent who is so very enthusiastic about the select projects she’s chosen and is keeping things on the small side so we all get personal attention. Very excited!

Also, HarperTeen has created a Facebook page for The Selection. If you go like the page, you can read the first few chapters and enter to win an advance copy of the book! Good luck!

I'm Official!

I am now listed as an author at HarperTeen.com and HarperCollins.com! Please go see the lovely things Miss Pink Tazer herself, Kiersten White, had to say about The Selection! Aaaaand, now that you can see it, I think it's okay to tell you that the release date for The Selection is:

April 24, 2012!!!

Overdue Update

A few weeks ago, I found out that The Selection will be translated in France and Germany! I’m so excited about this and can’t wait to see what happens with my little story overseas. So bonjour and guten tag to all the new readers!

Also, I've seen the cover art, and I have to tell you it's sooooo beautiful! I'm not sure when I'll be able to share, but trust me, it's worth the wait. :)
