Fickle Fate

Well, Fate has intervened again.  Along with that nasty convergence of the force.  Life likes to throw me both the good and the bad at the same time, just to keep me on my toes. 

Bad News Part 1 ... Things fell through with the first cover designer that I selected, for one reason or another ~ it just wasn't meant to be.  After a stress filled week, my husband surprised me with a cover from Vila Design.  Tatiana did a great job on the cover for Lost at Sea.  I can't wait to see how the cover for book 2 will turn out.   

Good News Part 2 ... I met with the photographer from Google and did a 4 hour photo shoot.  She said she could make me look beautiful.  I laughed and laughed.  Because that time, has long since passed.  But I hope the pictures turn out.  So at least things are progressing in the right direction.     

Onward and Upward!

An Artist's Touch

A true artist is crafting my new book covers as we speak ... The excitement is building!  I feel like a little kid, giddy and warm all over, I just can't wait to see what a professional can whip up to capture the heart of my little hero. 

I have seen the first digital rendering of Sabin and was totally impressed.  I hope my new book covers will be a cross between Fablehaven and the Artemis Fowl style of book covers.

A Touch of Publicity

I received a call from Google and they are going to feature my website as a Success Story!  Stay tuned for all the juicy details.  Better yet, be sure to check out www.nauticalmilebooks.com.  I've already done the phone interview and they will be sending out a photographer in the near future.  Now, if only I could lose 25 pounds OVERNIGHT! 

Still very excited!
