Woo Hoo! Hemphill Towers now has a beautiful cover,
thanks to the talented Marion Sipe. Even though I’m deaf, I can hear the
applause from my characters.
Riley: “I love it! Trent looks so handsome. Will
Marion read this? If not, tell her she matched us well.”
I’ll be sure she knows how you feel. Are you excited
that our book will be published soon?
Riley: “Oh yes! I can’t wait for people to read our story.”
Dierk: “Hey! Why am I not on the cover?”
Well, Dierk, you know everybody wouldn’t fit on
there.
Dierk: “Yes, but without me, there’d be no book, and
you know it.”
Trent: “Knock it off, Dierk. It was hard enough
having to share book pages with you. We don’t need you to spoil our cover.”
JB and Federico in unison: “Amen!”
Stella: “Come on people. This is a time
to celebrate. Let’s put the spotlight on our creator so she can tell us what
comes next.”
Birdie: “I second that. Leona, a birdie
told me (no pun intended) that we’ll celebrate the reveal with ‘Leona’ wine.”
Yes. I’d love to have a glass of wine
with my characters. Even you, Dierk.
“No, thanks If I can’t share the cover,
why should I share the wine?”
JB: “You’re absolutely right, Dierk.
Goodbye, catch you later, maybe.” (Door
slams, followed by laughter.)
He might feel better when the book
launches in Oct./Nov. We’ll have a big party then. Mayor Hemphill will be our
honored guest. But for now, enjoy your wine.
Three cheers for my characters who made
this cover reveal possible!
All: "Hear! Hear!"

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorrie, it is a bit different. I love what Marion did with the characters. Poor Dierk will adjust his attitude, I'm sure.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Marsha. Having the cover does help to know it's all getting closer to being published.
DeleteMy characters loved their part in the reveal. Dierk might not admit it just yet.
Woohoo! So awesome to see you moving forward with your book! I can't wait to read the final version. I think the cover will stand out on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Von. Thanks for your promo help on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteWow now this clever post really makes me curious about the book. Although I haven't met Dierk yet, please tell him you may write an entire story about him next time and he'll be the star on his own cover. That should make him happy. Best wishes!!
ReplyDeleteLOL JQ, I may do just that. I'm glad you liked the post. Thanks for dropping by.
