Cover/First Chapter Reveal #RiteOfRejection

It's here! It's here! My cover reveal date is finally here! Honestly, when I set the date for the reveal, it felt like it was right around the corner. But then I was working on all my marketing efforts and I kept wanting to use the cover, but I couldn't, so today felt forever away. 

Plus, I royally messed up this reveal (I'll be shocked if you are actually seeing this cover for the first time right now). These are the lessons we learn and I'm going to talk about where I went wrong tomorrow. But for now....

Here's My Cover!!

Rite of Rejection by Sarah Negovetich
Releasing December 4th, 2014


Straight-laced, sixteen-year-old Rebecca can't wait for her Acceptance. A fancy ball, eligible bachelors, and her debut as an official member of society. Instead the Machine rejects Rebecca. Labeled as a future criminal, she's shipped off to a life sentence in a lawless penal colony.

A life behind barbed wire fences with the world's most dangerous people terrifies Rebecca. She reluctantly joins a band of misfit teens in a risky escape plan, complete with an accidental fiance she's almost certain she can learn to love.
But freedom comes with a price. To escape a doomed future and prove her innocence, Rebecca must embrace the criminal within.
Pre-order Available now at Amazon, B&N, Kobo & iTunes

One

Before You Stands the Future. The dark-red banner strung across the storefront awning matches the dozens of others lining the streets of the shopping district. Each one with the same clock counting down to Acceptance. Tomorrow morning can’t get here soon enough.
I push the glowing blue button and the door slides open with a staccato puff of air. Overhead, an electric bell dings as I shuffle into the upscale boutique packed with other Candidates. Cheryl is right behind me, bouncing on her toes with each step. My mother would die of embarrassment if I showed the same lack of decorum as my best friend, but I’m bouncing on the inside. Our mothers walk in behind us and the door slides shut with another whoosh of air.
We visited half the shops in Cardinal City this morning in our search for the perfect dresses and dyed-to-match shoes. I got a thrill buying my first pair of silk gloves, Cheryl and I gushing over the tiny pearl buttons, but this is the purchase I’m looking forward to the most.
Shelves bursting with dance cards cover every square inch of wall space. Dozens of girls sigh and squeal over the small books we’ll use to record the names of our dance partners for tomorrow’s ball. I wipe damp palms against the cool material of my skirt and force myself to focus on the goal. One of these books is the perfect one for me. Hopefully, by the end of tomorrow night, it will hold the name of my future husband.

  4. The first chapter gave me a Pride and Prejudice/Sinclair Lewis meets dystopian vibe that hooked me. Looking forward to the rest.
