MMGM: EVERBLAZE Cover Copy REVEALED!!! (Plus the 5/5/14 links)

I know it's shameless to do anything for my books on MMGM day. But I *just* got the green light to finally share this, and since I'm leaving the country today, (London, Paris, & Edinburgh here I come!) it was share today, or wait two weeks. And I figured you guys would rather not have to keep waiting. :)

Related to that, since I'll be traveling, I won't be able to put together the links for the next couple of weeks. I *have* assembled something to go live each Monday with a list of all the people who've been a part of MMGM pretty regularly, since I'm assuming they'll have the best chance of posting again. But I know it won't be as good as it usually is, and all I can say is: sorry! (And I know some of you might be wondering why I don't just put up a widget and let you add your own links. The answer is: spammers. This blog gets a TON of them. And a TON of kid readers. And that is just a bad, bad combination).

Okay, enough Shannon-rambling. Here's the official EVERBLAZE cover copy (not to be confused with the "placeholder" copy some of you might have seen on amazon, which was not written by me, and was created before the book had been completed, so it wasn't *quite* as accurate)

Sophie Foster is ready to fight back.

Her talents are getting stronger, and with the elusive Black Swan group ignoring her calls for help, she’s determined to find her kidnappers—before they come after her again. 

But a daring mistake leaves her world teetering on the edge of war, and causes many to fear that she has finally gone too far. And the deeper Sophie searches, the farther the conspiracy stretches, proving that her most dangerous enemy might be closer than she realizes. 

In this nail-biting third book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Sophie must fight the flames of rebellion, before they destroy everyone and everything she loves.

Sing it with me: Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

I know that probably raises more questions than answers, and sadly I can't tell you anything except: you'll find out when you read! And I am so excited for that to happen. Hurry up November 4th--we're waiting!

If you would like to join in the MMGM fun, all you have to do is blog about a middle grade book you love (contests, author interviews and whatnot also count--but are most definitely not required) and email me the title of the book you're featuring and a link to your blog at SWMessenger (at) hotmail (dot) com. (Make sure you put MMGM or Marvelous Middle Grade Monday in the subject line so it gets sorted accurately) You MUST email me your link by Sunday evening in order to be included in the list of links. (usually before 11pm PST is safe--but if I'm traveling it can vary. When in doubt, send early!)

If you miss the cutoff, you are welcome to add your link in the comments on this post so people can find you, but I will not have time to update the post. Same goes for typos/errors on my part. I do my best to build the links correctly, but sometimes deadline-brain gets the best of me, and I'm sorry if it does. For those wondering why I don't use a Linky-widget instead, it's a simple matter of internet safety. The only way I can ensure that all the links lead to safe, appropriate places for someone of any age is if I build them myself. It's not a perfect system, but it allows me to keep better control.

Thank you so much for being a part of this awesome meme, and spreading the middle grade love!

*Please note: these posts are not a reflection of my own opinions on the books featured. Each blogger is responsible for their own MMGM content and I do not pre-screen reviews ahead of time, nor do I control what books they choose. I simply assemble the list based on the links that are emailed to me.
