Death’s Awakening Release Date!

I am so freaking excited to tell you that Death’s Awakening, the first book in my new YA series, will be released July 5th!

For sixteen-year-old Parrish Sorrows, life is about to become a nightmare.

This is the night she’ll wake up to her mother’s convulsions. The night she’ll lose contact with her father and sister in New York. The night 911 will stop answering the phone.

This is the night a mysterious supernatural virus begins its deadly rampage across the globe, killing billions in a matter of days. And just when things can’t get worse, the dead begin to rise.

Parrish must embark on a perilous journey to find what’s left of her family. Along the way, she’ll team up with the gorgeous boy next door she’s always been drawn to, the snobby ex-bff she’s hated for years, a genius computer nerd, and a young boy who never says a word but is somehow a kindred spirit.

DEATH’S AWAKENING is the first book in Sarra Cannon’s new Eternal Sorrows series. Told from alternating points of view, this story is packed with action, magic, and romance that will leave you begging to find out what happens as this group of teens struggles to survive the zombie apocalypse.

They are about to find out zombies are the least of their problems.

Some of you who have been following my blog and books page since the very beginning will know that this book has been on my list for a very long time. The truth is that I wrote the first version of this book for NaNo WriMo back in November of 2009! Hard to believe it’s been 3 1/2 years!

I have always been obsessed with stories of the apocalypse. Especially where zombies are involved. 🙂 In my mind, the only thing that would make an epic zombie movie/book better would be magic. And romance. So, why not write it myself?

Death’s Awakening has gone through A LOT of edits and rewrites over the years, but I know that this version is the very best I could have written. I have really had fun writing in multiple points-of-view. In DA, you’ll see a total of 7 different character points-of-view throughout the series. Maybe more! It’s cool to see the different ways people experience the end of the world. Oh, and the zombies of course!

Over the next couple of weeks as we wait for the release, I’ll be introducing you to some of these characters, so be on the lookout for character cards and pics coming soon. I can’t wait to introduce you to another Young Adult series. This series has a lot of the same types of elements as the Demons series, but is slightly more mature, has maybe a little bit more gore, and has some really amazing romances that build over time.

July 5th!!!! I can’t believe it’s finally almost here!
