Book Launch Update!

Hello lovely readers! Here’s a quick book launch update.

The results are in for the book cover contest!

It was a close race with three covers leading. The fourth, well, I won’t single out the loser here. That would be unkind. Let’s just say that everyone did a great job, and of the three leaders, one stood out as the clear winner.

While none of the covers were perfect, we took all criticism seriously and reworked the winning cover to have better overall readability as a thumbnail, as this will be the way most readers happen across the book.

Without further ado…

Drum roll…

Bam! Here it is. The future cover for The Girl with the Uninvited Ghost!

If you’d like to check out the covers that almost made it, you can follow the link to the original contest.
