I feel like I say this a lot, but being an author is like
constantly riding a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs. There is a ton of
rejection, but there are also moments that make your heart flutter. Seeing your
cover for the first time is one of those.
With my middle grade cover, I knew that the cover was the
only image I was going to get for my book. But with a picture book, the cover
is a hint at all the lovely things to come! Thirty-two pages of beautiful,
glorious pictures that represent someone's vision of this world I created.
My debut picture book, HELP WANTED: MUST LOVE BOOKS, will be
released into the world on March 1, 2020! I can't wait for you all to see the
whole thing (I just love it!), but in the meantime, here is a hint of things to
come. The promise of a story that makes my heart happy. I hope it will make
yours happy, too.
The illustrator is the amazing Courtney Dawson. You should follow that link to see her amazing art work! She's so talented!
So without further ado . . .
just

my cover!!!
I hope you love it as much as I do! I'm so pleased with how Shailey turned out, and I love, love, love that you can read the titles on a bunch of those books on the bookshelf. I love the fun colors, and that title font (!!!). So fun! *happy sigh*
Thanks for stopping by, and I'd love to hear about what grabs your attention when looking at covers.
Help Wanted: Must Love Books is up on Goodreads, so feel free to add it to your "Want to Read" list!
And holy cow! Just this second I discovered that it's also live on Amazon, which means you can now pre-order it!! (no cover there yet, but AAAAHHHH!) [And just so you know, this would be another one of those exciting moments I was talking about at the beginning that makes your heart flutter.]
