Finally got the go-ahead to share the new cover. Okay, okay, I only saw it for the first time yesterday, but whatever. Here it is!





Though tonight I am more excited than anything, I know the closer the date comes to release, October 18th, the more nervous I will be. The first book (this is a spin-off) was enormously popular, is all over GoodReads Best-Of lists and that is INTIMIDATING. Argh Argh Argh.

So, I have sworn to Nick that I will not read reviews, will not go to GoodReads, will cover my eyes and say LA!LA!LA! if anyone is talking about it. I mean, ARTS was my book o'my heart, and for a long time I stopped writing because I knew I could never top it--great way to handle it, right? I finally got over that, thank goodness. And I do love Long Way Home, I really do. I hope readers will like it, especially those who wanted Lee's story.

Anyway, I'll post the links to it soon as they are up (right now it is just Coming Soon), and then, if anyone here buys it and reads it? DON'T TELL ME! Ignorance is bliss!!!

Yeah, I am nervous.

LOL thanks. I wanted a leaping dancer, as those leaps amaze me so much, but this works. Goes great with my previous cover.

You'll be fine. Good luck! And reading reviews is the best way to get over reading reviews. I don't bother reading the ones on GR's but I will read the ones on actual review sites. You just have to shrug off the the not flattering ones.

Congrats - it's a nice cover too!

I actually got a lot out of reading all the ones for my first on GoodReads. A friend realized they were reading it for the book read of the month and I spied, saw what didn't work for people and some of those who pointed out problems? I agreed. But I had a lot of distance (years) from that book, so it was easier to take. This one, I'm more wibbly over as there was such a huge break between books.

Thanks and I love the over too! And your puppy. :)

Believe me, I can totally relate to being owned by a huge project. (So glad that the flat is finally coming around.) I'm looking forward to your trip post. :-)

As soon as it is posted on the loose-id site. I am waiting too--can't wait to see how they wrangled what I came up with. Those blurbs are HARD. (you'll see soon enough...)

Haha we had to write one for our query letter and the two of us ended up tearing our own hair out LOL

So the general idea is you write something and then they edit what you've given them into what will become the cover copy?

fjdklsfjldk SO EXCITED to read yours! link me when you get it!

I figure they will edit it to make it sexier. LOL it is all about the sexy!! They totally redid my first one but I figure they know what sells, so I don't worry about that.

Just wait until you go through edits--I've been through 3 rounds, and we'll have one final proofing round. It has kept me hopping!! I learned so much though from the process, and have a new appreciation for how hard my editor works. Really do.

Lee's story! AT LAST! Even though I swore he was straight in the first book! REALLY!

Dang it, I thought I was done with this world, but there is a character in there who has to have his own story. HAS to.

DON'T WORRY. I WILL READ ALL THE REVIEWS FOR YOU. I AM REVIEW-PROOF.

Also, you were right. It is another giant guy over a city scape. LMAO. But somehow this one looks better. Wait. I know. He's purple. (I can't resist. ILU.) The sweatpants are pretty nice and AT LEAST THIS DUDE IS RELATED TO THE STORY. That alone makes it awesome.

Wonderful. Just friggin wonderful. Now there will be not one, but two, count em',autographed book covers I'll never have because why? I dunno, a certain author never takes me seriously, I suppose. Give a guy a break. Even God quit torturing Job...eventually.

PS: Love Ya, Snookums.

PSS: Told ya so.
