Deviation: the secret inside scoop... and a giveaway

In case you missing it on Dec 30,

Deviation, book 2 in the Clone Chronicles is now available!

Purchase on Amazon

Until a month ago, eighteen-year-old Ven had never set foot outside the windowless warehouse where she was created. An Imitation of Raven Rogen, Ven spent her days confined in the lab, studying videos of her Authentic, all so she could step into Raven’s life at a moment’s notice.

Now, Ven lives in Raven’s penthouse apartment, kisses Raven’s boyfriend, and obeys every order from Raven’s dad, Titus Rogen—the very man who created her. But Ven has a secret plan. She doesn’t want Raven’s life. She wants her own.

In the action-packed sequel of Imitation, Ven wages a dangerous war against Titus. First she’ll free herself, then she’ll free every last Imitation. . . .

Here's what's up:

In case you missed ALL of my announcements, explanations, and squeeing for the past 8 months now, YES, this book is familiar, because YES, this is a re-release. 

(new cover, though, and I loooove it!)

Last March, I signed the entire series to Alloy Entertainment (who?? uh, the CW, yo. Get with the program!) and you can read all about that here. 

But basically what that means is two exciting things: 

1. The series has since been optioned for television by NBC!!!!!! AHHHH!!! 

(Fingers crossed Jerry Bruckheimer has me over for the Christmas cookie exchange this year...)

and

2. Deviation was re-written completely. Okay, not completely, there is that one chapter. But whatever, you have to read it to know which one. 

And the ending will probably make you mad in the way cliffhangers do but what I love about that reaction is--it means you are invested in my characters so it's kind of like #sorrynotsorry. 

Why did I rewrite it?

Here's the part where I admit the thing I should NOT admit. 

I didn't like the first version.

A lot of readers have asked me that question and I feel like I owe you a serious explanation. Especially those who legit PURCHASED the first round and are now having to do so again. (I'm sorry and I love you. I'd give it to you free if I could.)

But the bottom line is this is a better story. 

And once you read it, I think you'll agree. 

And I'll owe you a fruit basket or something.

To everyone who DID buy it BOTH times, I appreciate you so damn hard!!

THANK YOU, my lovely love birds!!

If you haven't read the series yet, you need to start here. You won't be sorry.

Everyone is exactly like me. There is no one like me.

Ven wrestles with these contradicting truths every day. A clone of wealthy eighteen-year-old Raven Rogen, Ven knows everything about the girl she was created to serve: the clothes she wears, the boys she loves, the friends she loves to hate. Yet she’s never met the Authentic Raven face-to-face. Imitations like Ven only get to leave the lab when they’re needed—to replace a dead Authentic, donate an organ, or complete a specific mission. And Raven has never needed Ven . . . until now.

When there is an attack on Raven’s life, Ven is thrust into the real world, posing as Raven to draw out the people who tried to harm her. But as Ven dives deeper into Raven’s world, she begins to question everything she was ever told. She exists for Raven, but is she prepared to sacrifice herself for a girl she’s never met?

Fans of Cinder, The Selection and Sara Shepard’s Lying Game series will love Imitation, a thrilling, action-packed novel sure to keep readers guessing until the very last page.
