I had something else planned for today, but decided to put up some POSSESSION stuff instead. I hope you'll forgive me.
First, if you haven't seen this video, go watch it RIGHT NOW. It's only like 50 seconds long, and features one of my favorite people on the planet--Ali Cross.
Are you back?
Okay, ready for some awesome??
I got my jacket in the mail! It's SPARKLY. And SHINY. And holy-mother-of-pearlized-cardstock, I SPARKLE LIKE A VAMPIRE. (Turns out it's very hard to get the sparkle to come up on the computer. But it is sparkly, trust me. And if you click on the picture, it'll get bigger. And then if you zoom in on the bigger picture, you can sort of see my vampiric skin if you tilt your head and squint. Go on...try it. And the reason it looks a bit purple, brown, black, whatever is because of the SPARKLE. Seriously. (I scanned this picture, so it's from the real live SPARKLE.))
That is all.
Okay, one more thing. prplbookworm won MATCHED! I've emailed her. :)
Hope you have a great weekend!

hahaha! Very cool. Congrats, Elana! I'm sure you'll sparkle from here to eternity ;o)
GORGEOUS! Can't wait!
Also, I love your little Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads buttons on the side! Where did you find those?
Judging from the flap, it's coming out in hardback first?
I love the picture and your flap. It really has your main character's voice. Can't wait to read it.
Funny video!
Hehe. I'm so intrigued. And the jacket flap is beautiful. I'm glad we're actually clued into what POSESSIONS is actually about. All I knew about it was "You are just a possession." or something like that. I can't see the sparkly vampire!! :( or :)?
Awesome! I LOVE your bio. But seriously, who *doesn't* want cool superpowers?? :D
It's situations like this, though, that make me wish my kindle had the cool-colored-sparkly-cover feature so I could experience *all* the lovely things. I might just have to buy this in real-life book form when it comes out.
Congrats on your new winter coat. DOY! My eyes! Are not yet open! I thought you wrote that you got your jacket in the "mall" and that it was all sparkly and now you sparkle like a vampire. So in my mind's eye I pictured you in a sparkly winter jacket. DOY! So now, for real, congrats on your really cool and sparkly "book jacket".
Congrats. I also thought you meant a winter coat. You, standing in the snow, blazing like a diamond. Okay, I know I need some help in the morning. Brain doesn't function properly.
Can't wait to see it in real life.
How exciting!!
Have a great weekend.
Fantastic! It looks lovely. And yes, you sparkle! But then again you always sparkle, m'dear! :)
Congrats! Awesome Jacket!! Can't wait to read Possession :-)
This is why I'm buying the real deal instead of the downloaded on my Kobo version. That doesn't sparkle. Heck, it's not even in color. ;)
It's beautiful and amazing! Just like you. So happy for you. Love it!
Okay, absolute sparkle AWESOMENESS!!!! Holy cow, how gorgeous is that going to look on the shelves!? Especially on MY shelf LOL I have a spot all picked out :D Congrats!!!!
What an amazing and beautiful cover! I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to have this sprakling little gem on my bookshelf!
Seriously, love the cover. I'll have to buy this book simply for the sparkle.
oh thou great sparkler, may you live forever and continue to tantalize our eyes with the magnificence of your sparkle.
YAY FOR SPARKLES! I already have a spot on it for my bookshelf :) Now if your release date would hurry up and get here so I can read it, that would be greeeeaaat :D
So pretty! Can't wait to see it IRL.
So very happy for you my CP! HUGS!!!
I love how your new blog look matches your bookcover and all of you sparkles!
Oh, wow! That's so awesome, Elana! Congrats!!
SPARKLEPIRE!!
Okay, I know sparkles don't change the words inside, but golly darn if they don't make me smile.
Awesome cover, Elana! I can picture the sparkle, even if the picture doesn't do it justice. =o)
OOOOH! That's so beautiful! Cannot. wait. to. read.

Super cool! Looks awesome!
Love it! At first I thought you were talking about getting a new coat because of the title of your post...I mean, a sparkly new jacket would be nice too, if you're in to that sort of stuff ;) Congrats and I can't wait to see it in real life!
I love a sparkly book jacket. I can't wait to see it in person! Have a great weekend Elana!
:)
That is so very very cool. I can picture the sparkles in my head. Can't wait to see the real thing. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey.
Doggone it. You're a vampire in disguise. I always knew there was something fishy about PG water. It's where my brother lives and his sons have very LARGE canine teeth.
It sparkles? That is so cool Elana!
If you've posted the writing from the jacket before, I must have missed it. The book sounds wonderful.
And I love the MC's name. "Vi" my toddlers pediatricians nurse is named Vi and I used it in my Nano book for a minor character.
I love the jacket and the cover. Thye're great. Can't wait to see it sparkle when I buy it. (and not on for my kindle either)

I want you to imagine this... I work for a very large company and I'm sitting alone in my cube, blowing up the picture of your book jacket, tilted my head to the side and squinting while I rub my baby belly. It's attractive isn't it? But I saw the sparkles!!!!!
Since you already sparkle, all I can say is your publishers are darned lucky! GORGEOUS book jacket. :)
It's beautiful!! I can't wait to read it. Also, you live in CENTRAL UT? Do I not know where you live?
The thing is - you really do sparkle, figuratively, of course.
That looks amazing. And yes, Ali rocks.
Yay! It's here! It's real! It sparkles! All good, good things!
Oh my goodness, this book looks so awesome! I can't wait to read.
Also, LOVE the new look of your blog. I'd been reading your posts through Google reader and I just clicked through today and saw that it's all new and sparkly! Looks fabulous!
Gorgeous. I can kind of see the sparkle. But now I'm going to have to see it IP. YAY for jacket covers! So. Exciting.
FRAWESOME!
I love your bio, too. ;)
Oooo, sparkles!! Totally wicked cool. I can't wait to get my very own copy. Yay!

Yay! Wonderfully sparkly!
Love it! Very cool. And congrats to prplbookworm! Matched looks like a very fun read.
So exciting, Elana!
It looks wonderful.
Congrats girl! :o)
Thank you all! Man, I am so behind on blogging and things this week, but I'm reading your comments and tweets and as many blogs as I can.
<3
Awesome! LOVE. IT.
Girl, that is one freakin' awesome cover! HAPPY!!!
It's a beautiful cover!
Wicked Cool! I would be framing that baby. (Hugs)Indigo
Major shivers! Congrats. I love your cover--I mean, a butterfly trapped inside a crystal/ice cube. How symbolic and iconic is THAT? Coolies.
It is beautiful...and sparkly.
LOVE the cover! It's going to POP on a shelf. Can't wait to see it as a best seller. : )
Very exciting! Good for you.

Tossing It Out
Cover is nice!
Sorry about the sparkles.
AHHH--I LOVE it. It's so pretty. And is it wrong that I kinda love that you sparkle like a vampire. Now we know why you seem to never sleep!
The cover was awesome before, but now it sparkles? BONUS!! :)
So pretty. Sparkles FTW!
Sweet! Congratulations on the cover! It didn't sparkle on my computer but that's very cool you have vampire skin. I also like it that your biography specifically states that you have one husband. Good to know you're not a polygamist. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Congrats on the cover - I love it!
NICE! I love fancy book jackets! :D
Saw Ali's vid and loved it! So cute.
Oh my! IN LOVE. Seriously, you lucky! That thing is just GORGEOUS!
So wonderful! I'm so happy for you, lady!
SO cool! How exciting! Yay, for jacket love!
Sparkly is good! :) Congrats!
AWESOME COVER! It's beautiful, and yes, I can tell that you are sparkly. WOW! I can't wait until it comes out!
Why am I not surprised that you sparkle???? Hmmm.... :)
Love Ali's video too!
Ooh.. congratulations Elana! I love it, it's so pretty!
It's a real cover, with a real life barcode! That's what makes it real, you know. Shiny! (I mean, uh, sparkly!)
Love the jacket!
Also, love the new look. I haven't been around her for some time...
But I'll be around much more often now...
:-) See ya.
The jacket is beautiful! Can't wait to get a copy of the book! :D
It's beautiful, Elana! I'm so excited for you!!!! Enjoy the ride...
What a cool cover! And I enjoyed the blurbs, too. Congratulations!
