/Get Set for a Cover Reveal…and a Cover Challenge!
Hi!
It’s autumn here in Sydney and the skies have been clear and blue — for the most part! I jog/walk around my local park almost every day, checking on the wild swans and ducks as they prep for winter. I even spotted a turtle and an eel gliding side-by-side in the lake. The proof is on my Instagram feed. ;)
Now, I’ve got some big news: I have a brand-new cover and title for my next paranormal YA release!
UNDER THE MILKY WAY will be released by Entangled Teen on August 3.
I’m so excited about these changes! And I hope you’re excited enough to be part of an upcoming selfie challenge. I’m asking all you extra-special terrestrials to dress up alien-inspired outfits, take a selfie while displaying the book cover, and share it on your social spaces from July 1. You could win a signed paperback, and you’ll definitely have a lot of fun.
"Ms. Barneveld has done it again! This story is gorgeous. It has everything: romance, mystery, suspense. The speculative backdrop adds a delicious ambiance to this atmospheric tale. This is everything I want in a book!"
Darynda Jones, New York Times Bestselling author of the Charley Davidson series
Here’s the publisher’s summary…
Cassidy Roekiem is just an average teen girl from Colorado. Her parents are divorced, she has a cliché crush on the hot new boy, and her social life exists solely through the efforts of a well-meaning best friend. Until suddenly her life turns upside down.
First, that “hot new boy,” Hayden, asks her out. And one night when they’re driving through the isolated, winding roads of Saddleback Ridge after dark, something happens that neither one of them can explain...
Bright lights in the middle of the forest. Whole blocks of time they can’t remember. They’re nauseous and disoriented. We’re talking full-on episode of The X-Files. But when her fuzzy mind clears, she’s back home, and so is Hayden. Um, what?
Hayden has always been sweet and caring and fun. But now it’s like he’s hiding something. He knows something, and she can’t be sure who he really is anymore or how everything is connected to her. When it happens again…and again, Cassidy needs answers—and fast—because one of these times, she might not wake up at all.
