This is my new cover. Which I love so much I want to climb inside of it and eat cheese fondue.

What do you think?

Submitting time, yes I’m talking to you.

I am so super excited to be judging for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2013. Last year, Girl Unmoored won the YA category and I remain so thrilled and honored to have been chosen. Plus the sticker is wicked cool too.

Now it’s your turn.

Submit your novel by February 22, 2013. Too bad if you’re nervous about it

because as Erma Bombeck said:

“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

So come on all you hackers! Submit.”

(okay that last part might be from me, but it works, I think.)
