Meet Me at Michael's on Friday

COVER REVEAL TOMORROWI'm rarely the first person to jump on any new trend. I like to let others test it, work out the kinks, and then if it not only sticks around but thrives, I figure there must be something to it and that's when I generally step on board.

Well, self-publishing has just surpassed the Nicki threshold and I am in!  Er, I will be officially in on October 8th when I release a brand new novella through the Kindle Select program. I only made this decision a few weeks ago, but the theme of my story is peeerfect for Halloween reading, so I just dove right in without giving myself time to chicken out. Thus far, Amazon has provided great guidance for getting the publication formatted, so once I was comfortable that I could handle that part of the deal...

I enlisted the services of Carol Oates of Custom Book Cover Designs---she's the one who designed the divine Divine Temptation gif on my sidebar, which many of you had such nice things to say about during last month's IWSG. I am positively gaga over the cover she put together for this new story.

Next I went to Michael Di Gesu, who as many of you know does truly unique and imaginative cover reveals, and he graciously agreed to put  a little somethin' together for this story---the big reveal is TOMORROW!

The story is called Hans & Greta, which tells you it's a retelling of a fairy tale...with a little zombie on the side. Those of you who tuned in last season to D.L. Hammons' Write Club have already read the first 500 words, which I submitted under the penname Sissy Grimm...and if you're really, really curious you can read the full blurb when you add it to your To-Read list at Goodreads *wink* *wink*

See ya Friday at Michaels. ;)
