Two contests and a new cover

Lots of fun stuff gearing up for the PALACE OF STONE publication. If you're ages 14-23 and read PRINCESS ACADEMY when you were younger, enter this contest Bloomsbury is hosting: Note to My Younger Self Sweepstakes. I'm so excited to see those entries!

If you're on Twitter, another contest from Bloomsbury Kids: "Want to win the sequel to PRINCESS ACADEMY - or even ALL of @haleshannon's books? Tweet what you learned at #PrincessAcademy with the hash tag!"

PRINCESS ACADEMY is getting a new paperback cover in the US and will include a sneakpeek of PALACE OF STONE. It should look pretty familiar. Can you spot the differences from the original?

EDIT: Fun fact, the cover model is fourteen years old, the same age as Miri is at the start of the book. Many of you noted that she looks older. We had to use a different model since the original is in her 20s now and couldn't do Palace of Stone. Others noted my name is larger, which I did not notice before, and now I am feeling all proud of myself. And yes, it looks like you have to be a US resident to enter the first contest, sorry. I'm sure it's because of legal issues and not because we don't love you.
