Okay, so today I went to the Teen Book Con, with my friends. So in the Power of Memory panel- we met this dude. Author. Person. Professional author person. Who just so happens to look like the Eleventh Doctor. And my friend, just so happened to have a sonic screwdriver on hand. And as you can see this happened.
NO REGRETS. And since you did ask us to post this on tumblr, I did. And in return, we ask you to go check out Doctor Who.
We’re really excited to get started on your book and everyone else who is reading this should go get it. Like right now.

Hello friends. Check out the updated covers for the paperback of False Memory, and the hardcover of False Sight. Not too different than they were before, but I dig how they’re a little sleeker, a little simpler. Especially the smoky red colors on False Sight.

Much thanks to the fantastic team at Disney Hyperion!

New covers for FALSE MEMORY and FALSE SIGHT!

{GOODREADS}

Miranda wakes up alone on a park bench with no memory. In her panic, she releases a mysterious energy that incites pure terror in everyone around her. Except Peter, a boy who isn’t at all surprised by Miranda’s shocking ability.

Left with no choice but to trust this stranger, Miranda discovers she was trained to be a weapon and is part of an elite force of genetically-altered teens who possess flawless combat skills and powers strong enough to destroy a city. But adjusting to her old life isn’t easy—especially with Noah, the boyfriend she can’t remember loving.

Then Miranda uncovers a dark truth that sets her team on the run. Suddenly her past doesn’t seem to matter… when there may not be a future.

 FALSE MEMORY
Author: Dan KrokosReview Issue Date: January 1, 2013ISBN: 978-1-4231-4976-7

This book reads like Jason Bourne meets the Terminator. The Roses are clones, experimental super-soldiers whose psychic energy causes destruction to any normal human who is exposed to it. When Miranda wakes up with amnesia, her fear sets off her energy and causes harm to those around her. With help from the other Roses and the “memory shots” that all Roses must take to prevent amnesia, Miranda returns home and begins to remember bits of her past. As Miranda’s memory returns, she realizes she has many questions about her home, her unusual power, and whether her memories are real. With the help of gadgetry, the Roses set off a rebellion that escalates into a series of fast-paced fights. By the end of the book Miranda begins to develop beyond a predictable action hero. The action and gadgets make this book a good choice for reluctant readers. Readers who liked Patterson’s Maximum Ride (Little, Brown) and Lore’s Lorien Legacies (HarperCollins) series should like this first in a new series as well. Elizabeth Andersen, Librarian, Westbrook (Maine) High School
