A Thing of Beauty
I know many of you have already seen this, but it was too dang gorgeous and too exciting not to share even more. This is Marilyn’s book cover and there is absolutely nothing about it that doesn’t suck you in, would make you run across a bookstore to grab it, shouldering aside mommies with strollers and kneecapping the dude who really needs a shower but if he’d just get out of the way and take his dang Maxim magazine with him.
You can see the really big copy here, (and read all of the wonderful back cover copy plus the amazingly fabulous quotes from Cathy Lamb, Holly Chamberlain and SUSAN WIGGS!) but mark your calendars now–174 days until this stunning beauty makes her debut (and the book is coming out, too!) Or, you can always pre-order it here.
Congratulations, Marilyn.

Pam, you are–quite possibly–the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful person anywhere in the cyber world! *HUGS, KISSES & A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN JUST FOR YOU (along with a platter filled with all kinds of fun things to dip into it)!!* Thank you for sharing the cover love and, even more, for being such a wonderful friend. 🙂

Marilyn–it was my pleasure. Your lovely cover was just too pretty not to squee about. (And the chocolate fountain was just a bonus!) 🙂
Kyle–thanks for joining in the celebration! It’s like the end of Working Girl and I feel like Joan Cusack screaming, “She made it!”

The colors are positively eye-catching. Of course, maybe I’m simply a sucker for that peach shade, but everything about seems appealing. It’s a great cross-over cover, as well. Could fit perfectly shelved in a number of genres.

Just popping back in to thank everyone who’s said such nice things about my cover–SO wonderfully nice of Pam to post it, SO wonderfully nice of all of you to take time to comment… Looking forward to getting to return the favor :-).

Sandra–hi, great to see you! And what a great thought about the cross-marketing. 🙂
Marilyn–It was just too dang pretty not to. And once I get the bullhorn for L.A., it’s going to need frequent useage, like when new books come out… 😉

Caryn–like I said, it’s gorgeous! And it’s got me so anxious to read, too! 🙂
L.A.–Isn’t Marilyn the most lucky girl in the whole wide world? *sigh*

Barrie–Hi, thanks for dropping by! Between that and liking Marilyn’s cover, I can tell you have fabulous taste! 😉
Melissa–Yup, that’s the one, with you and me sitting together screaming for a fellow Cherry. 😀

Wow, am I late to this party. . . That’s what i get for being away from my computer and RSS feeds.
But wow, what a gorgeous cover! So exciting! Thanks for sharing. Now I’m off to go tell Marilyn I finally saw her fabulous cover.
