I didn’t know what to expect when I opened this cover contest for the extra scenes from ARTICLE 5. I certainly didn’t expect judging it to be so difficult! But it was. Because the submissions I received were fantastic. They were so good my panel (the baby, the precious greyhound, and I) had to call in reinforcements – my agent, my editor, and an author friend for input.

I have decided to post the top 10 entries because again, they were all so awesome. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest. I am so honored to receive your work, and truly impressed by your creativity.

The first place winner and runner up will be getting an advanced copy of BREAKING POINT (Thank you Tor for donating another to the contest!), as well as buttons made by the fabulous JeanBookNerd, and BREAKING POINT bookmarks (hot off the presses!). The first place winner’s work will appear before the extra scenes from Chase’s perspective, which will launch next week on my website, and continue for the 7 weeks leading up to the release of BREAKING POINT. Everyone in the top 10 will receive swag. Again, thank you so much for entering.

Without further ado, I present to you the top 10:

1st Place: Lisseth T. – New York



Lisseth’s originality and creativity impressed all the judges. Her piece was chosen because it feels like such an accurate portrayal of Chase’s interior – overwhelmed, frightened, chaotic. The scene takes place in the kitchen of the abandoned house in ARTICLE 5, where Chase realizes he is nothing “without the only person left that he loves.” Look for Lisseth’s work next week on my blog with the first extra scene!

Good afternoon friends!

I have posted the first of 7 extra scenes on my website. I am so excited and nervous about this. Excited, because I love that Chase Jennings, my dark hero from ARTICLE 5, finally has a voice. Excited because along with these scenes, Lisseth’s AMAZING ARTWORK will be featured for all to see! (The top 10 cover contest winners are posted here: http://www.kristensimmonsbooks.com/bl...) Nervous, because, well, besides the fact that these scenes are UNEDITED (yes, that’s right), Chase is about to share some pretty personal stuff. Just the thought of it makes me feel a bit vulnerable.

Anyhow, the scenes will be posted under the EXTRA SCENES tab on my website (http://www.kristensimmonsbooks.com/bl... ). If you have questions or thoughts about them, I would love to hear. Email me at kris10simmons@gmail.com (or tweet or FB me) and I’ll do my best to answer.

Happy Holidays everyone! And happy reading!

And remember…BREAKING POINT is coming…
