Completed Cover

And here it is in all it's glory. If you look to the left you will see what the final artwork for my book's cover looks like. It came out so stunningly beautiful. I should be seeing a copy of the first pass of printed pages within the next few weeks. I can't wait to see how it will look all completed. I am almost done with the rough draft of the sequel. (Only two more chapters to go) Then comes the hard work of editing and polishing. Of course, it is possible that if this first book doesn't sell they won't want the sequel, in which case, I and my writer's group will be the only ones who know what happens next. (Raspberry, I promise to send you a copy, if that happens) The other story is coming along nicely as well. I can never seem to limit myself to one story at a time. They all team up on me, demanding a life of their own.

    I love it ... however, Mario "still thinks her hair needs to be longer!" ... and if by any chance the book doesn't sell (which I doubt) ... Mario and I want to read the sequel.

    It's amaaaazing! I'm excited for you. I hope this book will sell well and that your sequel will get to be published too. I bet they're both awesome. I'll be getting a copy, that's for sure (I think you mentioned it'll be for Scholastic, so I'll sneak my lil' sister's book order and get it next January!)
