My friend Terri Bruce is a very busy writer, but not too busy to stop by Soul & Sweet Tea and reveal the cover of her latest release! THEREAFTER is the sequel to 2012's HEREAFTER and is part of the Afterlife series.

| Congratulations Terri! www.TerriBruce.net |
Here's a little teaser...
Nothing
life is free. Turns out, nothing in the afterlife is, either.
When
recently-deceased Irene Dunphy decided to “follow the light,” she thought she’d
end up in Heaven or Hell and her journey would be over.
Boy,
was she wrong.
She
soon finds that “the other side” isn’t a final destination but a kind of
purgatory where billions of spirits are stuck, with no way to move forward or
back. Even worse, deranged phantoms known as “Hungry Ghosts” stalk the dead,
intent on destroying them. The only way out is for Irene to forget her life on
earth—including the boy who risked everything to help her cross over—which
she’s not about to do.
As
Irene desperately searches for an alternative, help unexpectedly comes in the
unlikeliest of forms: a twelfth-century Spanish knight and a nineteenth-century
American cowboy. Even more surprising, one offers a chance for redemption; the
other, love. Unfortunately, she won’t be able to have either if she can’t find
a way to escape the hellish limbo where they’re all trapped.
Sounds fun doesn't it?
Now let me clue you in on the contest...it's going to be a scavenger hunt!
One Grand Prize winner will receive a set of 20” x 30” unframed cover art posters (1 each for Hereafter and Thereafter), signed by the author, and an eARC of Thereafter!

Entering is simple:
1.Visit all fourteen stops participating in the Thereafter Cover Reveal Blog Tour
2.At each stop, there is an excerpt from Thereafter with a word highlighted in red
3.Collect all fourteen of these highlighted words and arrange them into a fourteen-word sentence that reveals a major plot point of Thereafter

5.Then enter via Rafflecopter to confirm that you emailed in your contest entry
6.Additional bonus entries for joining Terri’s mailing list, tweeting about the giveaway, and shelving Thereafter on Goodreads will become available once you have completed the main entry
Here's the excerpt you'll need to unlock the 14 word sentence:
She turned to find
Andras watching her intently. She raised an eyebrow in inquiry. The silence stretched
out—he seemed to be searching for something in her face. She met his searching
look with one of her own.
Finally, he said, “I
died in Al Andalus, on the field at Alarcos.”
Irene was confused for a moment, and then she
understood: he was telling her about his death.

Yay!!! Congrats, Terri!
Awww, thanks SC!!! The "new car smell" hasn't worn off of Hereafter - it still feels like my "new" book - so, in a way, it feels like I *just* did this stuff, even though it was actually 10 months ago! How time flies!
