Cover Reveal – Becoming │The Balance Bringer

Becoming │The Balance Bringer…it’s been a long time in the making. A very long time. 

I can still recall, with considerable clarity, the moment I knew what the title of this YA fantasy would be. It was 2010. I was driving down a lone stretch of highway through the California desert. It was night, and it was dark. I sat alone in the car, making the drive home after dropping my kids off at my mom’s. My mind wandered, working through bits and pieces of story and suddenly I had my title. I’ve tried on various other titles throughout the years, but none have fit or felt as right as this one.

Finally being able to share this story and all the work that has gone into the full package is…well…overwhelming, thrilling, and scary! I’m itchy and jittery thinking about it.

Kudos to Carrie Osborne for capturing the Bringer Triune symbol and etching magnificent life into the art. Same goes to Melinda VanLone of Book Cover Corner for taking everything a step farther and pulling the entire vision together. Love you ladies!

And now, the moment this entire post is all about…the cover reveal!

Becoming: The Balance Bringer in Cover Reveal by Debra Kristi, authorBut wait! There’s more #bringiton art to knock your socks off. Melinda really out did herself and I am beyond delighted! Check out this marvelous interior! I couldn’t be more giddy!

Becoming: The Balance Bringer Chapter One Look in Cover Reveal by Debra Kristi, authorThis is the first book kicking off The Balance Bringer Chronicles. A story about love and blood and sisterhood. A story about finding the strength within yourself to be who you were meant to be, and who you need to be. And of course there is romance. It’s high school, of course hormones have to get involved.

What can you expect from the first book? Well…here is what the back blur has to say:

Ana’s world is falling apart. What she thought were dreams start entering her waking life. Eerie shadows hunt her. Her dream guy becomes reality. And strange new abilities begin developing. Ana is becoming something other.

She is determined to find answers, but where to turn? Her mom and best friend are keeping secrets. Her older sister is dead and exists only in her dreams. And her younger sister thinks they are goddesses.

Above all else, dark forces will stop at nothing to crush Ana – to keep her from restoring balance. To keep her from… becoming.

Is love and blood and sisterhood enough to stop the dark secrets and power from destroying her?

Books! Books! Books! I will be signing books at the California Dreamin’ Conference on March 29th from 2 to 4 at the Embassy Suites in Brea. This will be my first book sighing and I am totally freaked! Want to see me freak out? Come down. The event is open to the public, all readers are welcome, and there will be a ton of authors present. Check the list for some of your favorites, then head over and join in the fun! Collect books from the authors themselves AND GET THEM SIGNED!

The following weekend (YES, the day before Easter, I will be in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood for The Novel Experience. All readers are welcome. A large number of authors are expected at this event, as well. Come. Have fun!

Expect me to sleep for a week or more after all this is done. Haha!

But seriously, I am so excited my YA fantasy will make it in time to be at these events with me. Makes them both so much more meaningful. 😀
