That just popped up on S&S’s Website and it’s the cover for BEHIND THE BIT (Canterwood Crest #3)! On the cover is Callie Harper, my main character’s BFF. Callie is looking at her horse because….well, that’s a plot secret for now. 🙂
BEHIND THE BIT hits stores on June 23, 2009. Woo hoo!
TGIF and happy weekend! I’m off to watch a movie…not sure which one. Something funny.
Ta da! It’s the second cover for my Canterwood Crest series! This is for CHASING BLUE and it comes out in March 2009. On the cover, you’re looking at Sasha (left) and her arch rival Heather (right).
A giant shout out to Design Goddess Jessica Sonkin for this brilliant, amazing and fab cover. Woo hoo!
What do you guys think?
Presenting…the advanced reader copies (ARC) of TAKE THE REINS (CANTERWOOD CREST)
*insert screams here*
The crazy-beautiful spine…
I grabbed TTR and took it to the library to show my fav librarians, but…the library was closed. As it is EVERY Monday. How long have I lived here?!
Let’s just pose with the book at the library anyway!
And if pictures aren’t enough…here’s a vlog! 🙂
Wooo hooo! My second book, Chasing Blue, is up on Amazon! No cover yet, but I’ll share it as soon as I can! How insane that book 2 of the Canterwood Crest series is up and ya’ll haven’t read the first one yet. 🙂
Btw, do you like the grapic on the side? ——> (BlogSpot only! Sorry LJ friends!) I made that in Fireworks and I think it represents the book well. Canterwood’s school colors are hunter green and gold.
Chasing Blue, the second book in the Canterwood Crest series, has a pub date on Simon & Schuster’s Website!
Chasing Blue hits stores on…March 24, 2009! 🙂 Woo hoo! The cover isn’t up yet, but you’ll find it here when it goes live. It’s quite awesome, I must say. *grins*
Now, you only have to wait 8 weeks from Take the Reins to Chasing Blue. Awesome.
Looky, looky! 🙂 Isn’t it pretty? On the back, it has my Website, title and phone number. Verrrry nice. Friends, you’ll be getting these as gifts, LOL. 🙂
Yesterday was one of the best days I’ve ever had since I started this crazy journey as a soon-to-be debut author. (That’s why I’m typing in purple–it’s a pretty celebration color!)
No, it wasn’t a day I inked a new deal–it was actually more than that. It was a fantastic day of chats with Editor K and Agent A and I’m finally starting to feel that I can do this! I’ve always been reeeaaally insecure about the author gig. You know, we all have those thoughts of I’m not good enough! Eeek, my writing is horrible! Will anyone buy my book?
I know those insecurities will come and go (and will probably be amped up as my pub date approaches) but yesterday, for a full day, I felt great about how far I’ve come since I started writing and am looking forward to where I’m going. 🙂 It’s all a giant learning process and though I’ve learned a lot, there’s still sooo much more!
Agreed?
I have an Amazon sales ranking! Woo hoo! Thank you to whoever pre-ordered copies. That’s so sweet! 🙂
Not I *must* not visit that page obsessively. Ha. Right. 😉
Guess what I have in my possession? A cover proof of Take the Reins! Yep, front and back with gloss and everything. Oooh la la. Veeerrry, veeerry gorgeous. (*Waves at Jessica Sonkin*) I’m framing it.
I took a pic of myself holding the cover proof and when I’m allowed to share it, I will!
The Website design for CanterwoodCrest.com is in full swing (woo hoo!) and the new site is coming this September. It’s going to be great.
The lovely cover is now on Amazon! Woo hoo! 🙂 Another step toward January 27!
