“I took hold of that scourge -filled ship and crushed it between my limbs, hurtling it into the second sun, the red one that gave me strength. But I was too late." Terraformer

DRESS UP THE COVER MINI CONTEST!
Since I love the dress up the cover contests as well as dressing up for Halloween, let’s do a dress up the cover mini contest. How this works is you tweet me a picture of your costume, makeup, hair, and jewelry choices that match the book cover (don’t forget to include the book cover on your image). You can be as creative as you like. Here are some of my favorite examples from book covers of the past.
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! I have some really cute prizes in mind for this mini contest. This contest will run from August 21st through Sept 3rd!
There you have it. All things The Lantern’s Ember are herein contained. Check back in if you didn’t find all the details you needed because we are adding them in as we get them. I hope you love this book as much as I do and kick off the holiday season with a bang or at least a really good love spell!
Take care my friends!
Colleen
