The squee factor is alive and well. The UPS man brought me a gift today. I wonder if he knows all the squee he brings? Afterall, he doesn't deliver bills or anything like that--just stuff people want. And this was stuff I definitely wanted. My books! The bonafide real thing. This is my fourth novel and I still get very excited. I hope I never become so jaded that it all becomes blase. The day I stop squeeing and ripping open the package is the day I get out of the writing business.
Here they are! More are on their way, but my editor's assistant sent these four so I wouldn't have to wait.
And then more coolness! Beneath the jacket on the cover is an embossed silver butterfly!
And then another cool surprise. I opened it up and on the cover page is this very neat graphic. When we were tossing around cover ideas the handprint idea came up, but I think it is perfect on the inside here. I love this touch.
And last but not least, it took several tries to get this last bit of coolness with the camera because my flash kept washing it out, but the butterfly part of the cover is glossy--the perfect last touch.
And now you can see it is barefoot season too. Yay!
Except for Saturday night where I will dress up for a change. I am going to the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association (SCIBA) banquet in Pasadena where I will sign my first JENNA books. I was a little worried that the books might not be done in time, in which case I would have been signing navels I guess. But they're here! Whew! Navels can be tricky.
I will be posting more of my tour schedule soon, but if any of you will be at the SCIBA banquet, I can't wait to see you! |
