HarperTeen publishes book from InkPop

How cool is this news? HarperCollins announced this morning that they are publishing a book that was discovered on InkPop, the online community for teen writers. Huge congrats to new author, Leigh Fallon! Her book, Carrier of the Mark, will hit bookstore shelves Fall 2011!

Check out this gorgeous cover!!
Synopsis:
A move to Ireland is about to introduce Megan to her destiny, her real destiny, can she embrace it and will she survive it?

A tragedy in Megan’s past set her on a predetermined course. A chain of events has been set in motion that brings Megan to Kinsale, a small town in the south of Ireland where her destiny awaits her. Her life starts to fall into place as she makes new friends and settles into her new school. However, the reclusive and distant Adam DeRís calls to her body and soul.

She finds herself increasingly drawn to Adam and his strange family. Adam knows a secret from her past and he and his family hold the key to her future. A future that binds her to Adam and his world, a world of power, mystery and ancient orders. A world that unbeknownst to her, she very much belongs in.

Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?? I can't wait to read it!

    I was just reading an email about that one! Love the cover. Quite a few YA books are popping up lately with an Irish setting. Hmmm...maybe I should cash in on my location and write one. lol! :)

    I read the first couple of chapters of this one on Inkpop about a year ago. Excellent work and Leigh seems really nice. Can't wait to read the finished version!

    Wow, this is super cool. I'm excited to read something written from such a young author. Eragon was written when the author was 18 years old (I think) and it turned out to be very popular.

    I like, the cover looks fabulous and the little snippet tantalizing. Ooh, shame on you for teasing me with this book I might not manage to get my hands on.
