WE HAVE A COVER!!!
And we LOVE it! We ALL love it! Because it's BEAUTIFUL and FANTASTIC and PERFECT for the book.
It is SO perfect. The cover totally captures the tone of the book AND has all kinds of cool details that are meaningful to the story. Like the background color, the color of my name, the bird, the coffee, Sherry's makeup and hair and sandals and earrings and even the way she's sitting. It's incredible!
So, we're all very, very happy!! Editor Wendy, Cover Designer Marci, Agent Rachel, me, DH (oops, I mean HB), my children, my pets (even the hamster who is rarely in a good mood)! And I'm sure every single peson who looks at this post will love the cover too!

Hi Maureen! I'm you like it! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! How fun--both you and my editor used the word "pop" to describe the cover!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! It seems really amazing to me that the artist was able to capture what was in my head. Probably scary for her! Ha!
ReplyDeleteHi Steph! I know you can recognize a good cover. Because you got one too!!
ReplyDeleteJ.E. MacLeod! Thank you for stopping by. WAITING TO SCORE sounds fantastic. Great cover too. I'm curious to know which author photo you ended up with? That's next on my list of chores.
ReplyDeleteChristina: I am thrilled. I am. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteVicki: Perhaps we should rename the hamster? Better yet, how would Tim feel about being called Squirtle?
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen! Thank you. And the countdown is on for you. It won't be long before UNPREDICTIBLE hits the shelves!
ReplyDeleteHi Alyson! Yay that you like my cover. You're speaking from experience with several great covers!!

ReplyDeleteHi Sara! Are you still on cloud 9? Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteV: from one so-called mother to another--remember, we know it ALL!! At least that's what the hobbits need to believe. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa! Thank you for the kind comments. And, of course, you can never own enough YA!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Looks like a younger Barrie hanging out. I can't wait to read it. Stop wasting time with surgery and what not and get to the business of writing so we can enjoy this. Oh just a thought won't this look cute poking out of Lara's Christmas stocking. Our yours for that matter.
ReplyDeleteHi HBloom!! Love the visual of I So Don't Do Mysteries poking out of Lara's stocking! How about 10 copies poking out? :) Fine, I'll ditch the surgery idea. Although it still has a certain money-saving appeal...
ReplyDeleteDear Psychic Niece: What? The cover isn't as you imagined it?? Is there a crack in your crystal ball! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI think the cover is great! It looks like it will appeal to not only adults, but young adults too with it's colorful appearance. Great job to the publishing company, to the artist, and to you. We are all so proud of you!
