Cover Reveal!

So this is the cover for my new book, coming out in March, 2012. I am more excited and nervous about this one than I have been with any of my previous books, adult romances included.

I've put so much of everything that's important to me into this book and it was the hardest one I've ever written. For one, I wrote it during some of the toughest times Life has thrown my way, so far, as an adult. Finding the time, motivation, focus, and energy to write was often a mighty challenge in itself. And I've lost count of how many times I revised this novel from the ground up. I revised with an agent and two editors -- I'm talking tear-down-the-walls, clear-the-nether-regions, blast-through-rock revisions.

This book is my Little Engine That Could. It's the mountain I climbed because I loved it and because I wanted to see the view from its summit. I still haven't seen the view. I'm waiting for you to read it to complete the picture :).

ARCs should be available late December/early January. If you'd like a review copy, please email me and I'll put you on the list.

Okay, here are the Toronto launch pics, at last! Thank you, all, for the many (f)email reminders *grin*. The first one is me having a last sip of water as the amazing Corrie Sakaluk from the Toronto Women's Bookstore introduces me.

The second one is me blabbing before I actually read from SHINE, COCONUT MOON. The two heads at the very bottom are my mom and dad (dad is the gray head in bottom right corner, mom is bottom center).

It was a totally fun night with thoughtful, intelligent questions from the audience. My S&S Canada publicist and sales rep were in attendance and my family and friends were out in full support. And bonus -- I got to meet fellow Debut 2009 author Megan Crewe (GIVE UP THE GHOST)!

Next stop: Rutherford, NJ!
