'In Wolves' Clothing' COVER REVEAL!
(Plus cool swag if you pre-order!)
September 27, 2017
You didn’t come here to read my words. You came to see some artwork! In fact, most if not all of you have probably already skipped this worthless intro and scrolled down to peep the cover of my new novel—especially since I mentioned swag in the title above.
While this intro may be worthless, it is necessary. I have to type enough words to push the cover image past the “fold” of this post so that the image doesn’t just appear the second you arrive here. What fun would a cover reveal be without at least some suspense?
Okay, that should do it.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great anxiety and exhaustion that I present the face of my new novel …
I hope you like it! If you do, all the credit goes to my cover designer—Maria at BeauteBook— and to my wife, Miranda, whose input for the design was invaluable. (Also, special thanks to Merimask for permitting us to incorporate their stunning wolf mask into the cover.)
If you’re more the type to judge a book by its blurb than by its cover, here’s the official description and testimonial that will appear on the back cover (and on Amazon, etc.) ...
Zero Slade is not a bad guy—he merely plays one when saving children’s lives.
During his seven years on a team fighting child sex trafficking, Zero’s become quite good at schmoozing with pimps, getting handcuffed by cops and pretending not to care about the Lost Girls he liberates. But the dangerous sting operations are starting to take their toll on his marriage and sanity. His affinity for prescription painkillers isn’t exactly helping matters.
When the youngest girl the team has ever rescued gets abducted from a safe house in Cambodia, Zero decides to risk everything to find her. His only shot is to go rogue—and sink deeper into the bowels of the trafficking world than he’s ever sunk.
It’s the biggest mission of his life. Trouble is, it’s almost certain death.
“A truly original and enthralling novel. Levin's blazing prose and acerbic wit capture the madness—and the humanity—of working undercover in the darkest corners.”—Radd Berrett, former Jump Team member, Operation Underground Railroad
And in case you need a little more to go on before deciding whether you’ll be buying a copy or reporting me to the authorities, here are two excerptsfrom the book that were featured in my post two weeks ago. (But make sure you come back, or you’ll miss the chance to get some cool book swag!)
PRE-ORDER In Wolves' Clothing! (comes with perks)
Although the paperback and Kindle edition of In Wolves’ Clothing won’t officially launch until Wednesday, October 11, you can pre-order IWC for your Kindle nowand the ebook will automatically be delivered to your device on launch day! Kinda cool.
You know what’s even cooler?Everyone who pre-orders will receive a swag-pack! (That is, assuming they follow the instructions listed in the “How to Claim Your Swag” section a bit farther down in this post.)
The swag-pack will contain the following items, each of which will surely be worth a ton of money after I die:
A cool fridge magnet featuring the book’s cover image. Sticks to most metallic surfaces, and stares at you until you to finish the book and tell the world about it.
A cool sticker featuring the cover image. Sticks to everything, especially bookstore/library doors, and foreheads of friends who read.
A really cool postcard showing the full cover (front, back and spine). The back of the postcard is signed by me and includes a personal note. I apologize in advance for my atrocious handwriting.
Three of my cool new biz cards. Share the cards with anyone you think would enjoy my book(s), but make sure to keep one for yourself—the card doubles as a sturdy bookmark. Plus it has my email address so you can quickly send me praise while you’re reading.
HOW TO CLAIM YOUR SWAG
STEP 1. GoHEREto pre-order the Kindle edition of In Wolves’ Clothing. (The pre-order period ends Tuesday, Oct. 10.)
STEP 2. Provide proof of purchase by sending a photo or screenshot of your receipt (or by forwarding your email receipt) to greg@greglevin.com. Don’t forget to include your mailing address in the email you send me.
(NOTE: Please allow a couple of weeks for your swag to arrive—especially if you live outside the United States. If you live in Australia or New Zealand or some other really far-off land, please consider moving to the U.S. so I don’t go broke on shipping costs.)
Okay, that’s enough out of me for one blog post. A huge THANK YOU to all of you for popping by for the cover reveal. And if you decide to pre-order the book, fantastic! If not, no worries—you’ll have lots of other chances to get a copy after the book launches. I’ll probably even remind you.
Thanks again, everyone!
ON HIS BEST DAYS, ZERO SLADE IS THE WORST MAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. HE HAS TO BE. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE LOST GIRLS.
