It’s Ciara Knight Cover Reveal Day here at Gloria Richard Writes.
First, a word from our sponsor:
I have been on a mini blog sabbatical. For those of you who noticed, the snark will rise again. Soon.
For those who didn’t notice…
Above was written by an evil gremlin while I slept.
I could offer a plethora of reasons, but I have a niggling problem.
Those who know me well know I cherish fibs sneakily creative excuses. Worse, they wouldn’t hesitate to call me on it in comments.
The simple truth is I have a manuscript that must be complete before I cross the Pennsylvania state line in July. If I don’t, I’ll have to pay for lodging at my cousin’s house.
We now return you to regularly scheduled programming.
I am blessed to have a plethora of talented friends with accomplishments that leave me begging to feature them on my blog. Today is Cover Reveal Day for Ciara Knight’s new Novella. Her talent and achievements make it an honor to participate in unveiling the eye-popping cover for Weighted.
Please read on for links to Goodreads to add this to your TO-READ stack. If you don’t already follow Ciara, you’re missing updates from an author whose debut novel, The Curse of Gremdon, secured a Night Owl Top Pick and five stars from the Paranormal Romance Guild.
WEIGHTED, by Ciara Knight
Weighted is a young adult post-apocalyptic with paranormal elements. It is a prequel novelette to The Neumarian Chronicles. Book I, Escapement, will be released in 2013.
The Great War of 2185 is over, but my nightmare has just begun. I am being held captive in the Queen’s ship awaiting interrogation. My only possible ally is the princess, but I’m unsure if she is really my friend or a trap set by the Queen to fool me into sharing the secret of my gift. A gift I keep hidden even from myself. It swirls inside my body begging for release, but it is the one thing the Queen can never discover. Will I have the strength to keep the secret? I’ll know the answer soon. If the stories are true about the interrogators, I’ll either be dead or a traitor to my people by morning.

Gloria Richard 
Thank you so much, Gloria. It’s exciting to see my cover up here on your blog. Good luck on finishing your manuscript by July! You can do it!!
The pleasure was mine all mine, Ciara!
It truly was an honor to host you and your cover reveal today. It rocks! I’m surprised I didn’t hear the squeals of glee all the way from Georgia to Texas when you saw it.
This novel sounds fantastic! As a writer and reader of YA, this will be added to my TBR list. Thanks for the heads up and the cover is spectacular!
Hey, Jenny! Thanks for stopping by. This has been the week for cover reveals. I have enjoyed reading about your own journey to publication.
Yay! Thanks kford!
Love the cover Ciara. And what a great teaser! When does this come out? I need to get in line. 🙂
And Gloria, keep writing! We know you can do it. July is far enough away I am expecting greatness!
Isn’t it a great cover, Jessica? I think the Goodreads blurb showed a tentative release date of August. That’s why I put it on my TO READ list over there. There are far too many sleeps between now and then for me to remember to check back.
Yes on the writing. I’ve moved from “I think I can, I think I can,…” to “I know I can, I know I can…”. I think my cousin is serious about charging me. She read the beginning and has been pestering for the rest ever since. Good sign, right? No pressure…
Jessica – It will be released in August. Thanks so much for checking it out.
I just love this cover and can’t wait to read the book.
Hi, Savannah! The cover blew me away, too. So much intrigue in the visuals.
I truly appreciate your visits and comments.
You are welcome..I’ve got her cover on my site as well today..
Savannah – Thank you for all your support!
You are welcome..You know I will always support you.
Intriguing blurb and what a beautiful cover! Congratulation Ciara!
I’m glad you were intrigued. 🙂 Thanks so much.
Kudos,Ciara … that is a beautiful cover and I am sure that with you … one can tell a book by its cover. Lots of success with this 🙂
Thank you. I was lucky to have Jeannie Ruesch as my cover artist. She is amazing.
Hi, Gloria. Keep on plugging away at your manuscript. I’m looking forward to reading your book when it’s done 🙂
And as I’ve already mentioned on Brinda’s blog, this is a great book cover.
Thank you, Mike. Have a great weekend.
I’m a bit behind too, Gloria, so not faulting you.
Ciara, your book sounds very intriguing and what a beautiful cover! Who’s your publisher? And congratulations!
Sharon,
I’ve decided to self-publish this series. It will be my first self-publishing adventure, the rest of my books are at houses.
I am previledged to have read this story and will tell you, IMHO it is Ciara’s best work yet!!! I can’t wait for everyone to read it.
Hildie,
You are so sweet. Thank you so much!!
I can not believe I let this post go unread. Hanging head in shame and embarrassment.
Ciara, I’ve seen your name in my circles. Hark, I believe we may even be FB friends, but I need to thank Gloria for this detailed introduction to both you and your books. I am intrigued.
