Here is it, friends: the aaaah-mazing cover for THE 13th SIGN:
And the jacket copy:
“What if there was a 13th
zodiac sign?
You’re no longer Sagittarius, but Ophiuchus, the
healer, the 13th sign.
Your personality has changed.
So has your mom’s and your
best friend’s.
What about the rest of the world?
What if you were the one who accidentally
unlocked the 13th sign, causing this world-altering change—and infuriating the
other 12 signs?
Jalen did it, and now she must use every ounce of
her strength and cunning to send the signs back where they belong.
Lives, including her own, depend on it.”
Thank you, as always, to cover designer Rich Deas and the fantastic Feiwel &
Friends team for knocking it out of the ballpark again!

OMG, what an awesome cover! Congrats, Kristin! Completely sucks me in. I want to know--immediately, please--what the vodoo doll and the boat and the snake all have to do with the story. SO cool!
Thank you, Joyce and Vicky, for stopping by!
Vicky, the story is set in New Orleans, and begins and ends in a voodoo shop. :-)
Joyce, thanks for studying! I appreciate it! :-)
Wow! LOVE this cover! It's eye-catching and creepy and captures such a feeling of suspense. My favorite parts? The way the number 1 is also a key, and that voodoo doll (because it's extra shivery). Hope you love it and that it does great things for you on the shelf. Great premise, too! I remember hearing talk about another zodiac sign a year or two ago, and it was intriguing.
Caryn, thank you! I love all the little details, too. The eye really leaps to that voodoo doll, doesn't it? :-) Thanks for stopping by!
Saw this over on Shannon Messenger's blog. Looks REALLY, VERY cool! So happy for you! :)
Thank you, Amelia! I appreciate you hopping over here and checking out the contest! :-)
Kristin, you amaze me! What a great idea for a book! I grew up in New Orleans, and know I will thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in the spirit of N.O. when I read this. Looking forward to it!
Thank you, Shelly! One of the best parts of writing this story was doing a research trip to New Orleans! Great city. I hope I've done it justice in THE 13TH SIGN! :-)
