on unbreakable

I'm so excited because today is the day I get to share more details about the sequel to Unraveling with everyone!

As you may have already heard, the Unraveling sequel is called

UNBREAKABLE

This wasn't the first or only title book two has had. In fact I've been calling it three different things in my mind, but this is definitely the best. It really fits the book, the characters, and a certain relationship. It also fits in well with a few of my favorite lines in the whole book.

I can finally tell you what Unbreakable is about. Of course, I've gotten a lot of questions about Unbreakable so I'm going to offer up some quick answers right now.

1. Is it from Janelle's POV?

Yes. Unbreakable opens four months after the end of Unraveling and is Janelle's story of what comes next.


2. Will there be more of Ben in the book?

Yes. Ben and Janelle's stories are very intertwined so you'll see more of them in this book. You'll also see a lot more of Barclay, Elijah, and Cecily.

3. When is the release date?

4/23/2013

Now, I'll offer you the official description. (Just beware while we tried to avoid it, the flap copy for sequels kind of contains spoilers for Unraveling, so if you haven't read it yet, you might want to skip down.)

Four months after Ben disappeared through the portal to his home universe, Janelle believes she’ll never see him again. Her world is still devastated, but life is finally starting to resume some kind of normalcy. Until Interverse Agent Taylor Barclay shows up. Somebody from an alternate universe is running a human trafficking ring, kidnapping people and selling them on different Earths—and Ben
is the prime suspect. Now his family has been imprisoned and will be executed if Ben doesn’t turn himself over within five days.

And when Janelle learns that someone she cares about—someone from her own world—has become one of the missing, she knows that she has to help Barclay, regardless of the danger. Now Janelle has five days to track down the real culprit. Five days to locate the missing people before they’re lost forever. Five days to reunite with the boy who stole her heart. But as the clues begin to add up, Janelle realizes that she’s in way over her head—and that she may not have known Ben as well as she thought. Can she uncover the truth before everyone she cares about is killed?

And, I'm even more excited to show you the Unbreakable cover of the US edition.

Here it is.

I hope you enjoy it!

News Part II

In case you missed the twitter announcement last night, the news I've been sitting on since June (yes that long!) is finally public.

The film rights to Unraveling have been optioned by MTV!

Here's the very official and cool article from The Hollywood Reporter.

Obviously I'm deliriously excited about it.

No one is talking casting or anything like that, but as more news comes my way, I will definitely share!

News, Part I

I have the first of several pieces of news:

I will have a novella out as an ebook original March 5th, 2013!

Here's where you can add it to goodreads.

Here's where you can preorder on Amazon and B&N.

And here's what the novella will be:

Three stories from Ben's perspective, one that takes place a year before Unraveling, one that takes place during Unraveling, and one that takes place between Unraveling and Unbreakable.

I'm really excited about it--it's so fun to be able to look at the events of the book(s) from a different perspective and then tell those stories. They'll be a little (okay let's face, a lot) spoilery if you haven't read Unraveling, but they won't spoil Unbreakable at all. And of course if you aren't into novellas, you can read both books without the novella and you won't feel like you're missing anything.
