I know. You're all thinking, 'Wow, that Bri sure does blog consistently. Yes, "consistent." That's the word. Well, I DO come out of my inconsistent blogging cave when it's to have the opportunity to reveal the awesome cover for my friend, Ryan Dalton's book! (And it's pretttttyyyyyy.)
I'm not going to keep you waiting. Let's let Ryan do the talking. *sits back with popcorn*

Hey, book fans! Don’t you hate it when you
move to a new town and discover it’s being destroyed by
freak lightning storms? Let me tell you, that makes for a tough year.
You’ll
find that, and much more, in my debut YA novel THE YEAR OF LIGHTNING. I am
completely in love with this cover and so excited to share it with you.
After you drink in its awesomeness, keep scrolling down for a brief synopsis,
plus a giveaway contest that you can participate in right here in the comments.
So, without further ado, here it is! Enjoy :)
The house has no doors. It’s
been abandoned for decades. Yet one night, Malcolm sees a face in the window. Fifteen-year-old
twins, Malcolm and Valentine Gilbert, never imagined an old house across the
street could be so much trouble. A secret machine inside has woken up, and its
power is growing.
Meanwhile, lightning storms are breaking out all over town. They’re getting worse every week and seem to enjoy striking kids who
just want to pass science class and mind their own business. Lightning,
however, is rarely cooperative—and when Malcolm and
Valentine discover a connection between the house and the storms, their
situation goes from mysterious to crazy stupid dangerous. As they
hunt a powerful enemy, they’ll realize that
lightning is only the beginning. Their town’s very existence hangs
in the balance, and the only clues are written in the sky.
One huge way you can support authors is by pre-ordering
their books. So if THE YEAR OF LIGHTNING sounds like fun to you, here is a link
to the Amazon pre-order page.
Now, onto the giveaway contest!
How would you fight a
lightning storm? In one paragraph, tell us exactly how you’d do
it, and don’t hold back! Get as crazy/silly/stupid/super-tough as you want.
The sky is literally the limit. We’ll pick a winner from
each participating blog, and I will send each winner a package containing an
awesome secret clue to the central mystery in THE YEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Thanks so much for stopping by to see the cover!
Ryan Dalton
