At last, my novel has a face!

Hey readers!

I know I'm going about this all backwards and that I should have a bunch of fellow bloggers release this at the same time with lots of pomp and fanfare and confetti, but since the rules are more like 'guidelines' - I have something VERY SPECIAL to show you.

Drum roll please....

INTRODUCING- 

The cover for my novel, ASHBURN. 
I designed it myself. 
(comments, thoughts... do you like it?!? I DO!)

Release date coming soon! I'll be in the final editing process for the next few weeks, but I am self-publishing this book to Kindle and CreateSpace on Amazon in paperback form. After a lot of procrastination, the time has come to share it with the world!

If you are a fellow blogger and are interested in an interview or a review copy of my book, (Or want to splash my pretty book cover on your blog or website!)... please let me know. I would greatly appreciate any support and help to spread the word about this exciting story. :)

Also, I'm pretty sure I want to hang out a shingle as a graphic designer and start doing book covers and other projects for real, live customers. More info on that coming soon as well. :)

Delightedly yours,

    1. Thank you, Bethany! I am happy you think it sounds exciting, that has been the unanimous response so far, so perhaps that means I accurately conveyed the plot in the little synopsis on the back! Yay! :) I love the cover too. :)

    1. SO glad to hear it looks professional, Esther! I am not *quite* professional status at this design thing yet but I do believe I've got a gift from God and I plan to use it. :)

      Don't worry, I will be posting more about the book soon! Thank you for your interest!

  7. Very intriguing...when can I read it?!? I love the cover design, &, like Esther, thought it was professionally done. (I didn't even get a chance to read the post title first; you had me glued to the picture.) :)

    Hugs,

  8. That cover is fantastic. I totally judge a book by it's cover, by the way, so it must be a great story, haha!

    Just curious, are there any faith or biblical elements to the story?
