Cover Reveal: Contrition by Elle Strauss

From Elle…

The Perception Trilogy is my first real series, meaning the story begins in book one and doesn’t complete until the end of book three. (My Clockwise series is unconventional that way, which is why I point this out.)

What a ride! It’s a bittersweet to be closing in on the end. I’ve spent so much time getting to know and love my characters! It’s kind of like having to wave good bye as your child leaves for college – it’s good and necessary, but it marks a dramatic change. You’re happy to see them develop and grow, but at the same time you can’t help the tears that well up.

You find you make frequent trips to the baby albums, reminiscing on the growing up years. I began the first draft of Perception two and a half years ago, while on a trip to Romania. I’d meant to take a break from writing, but instead I started getting all these great ideas for a new sci/fi dystopian. Everywhere we went I’d be stopping to type in  quick notes on my iphone, and at night I wrote scenes on a borrowed laptop.

I published Perception on September 01, 2012, almost one year ago. Since then I’ve written and published book 2, Volition, and now in just a few short weeks, the final book.

Yes!

CONTRITION is releasing September 26th! Of course, there will be swag/contests/sales leading up to the launch. I hope you join in on the fun!

Without further ado….(drum role)….
