That shrill noise you hear is me squealing.  I got my cover art for Dare to Dream today!!  (Thank you Jinger) If you'd care to mosey over to My Stories page and take a gander, you are more than welcome to do so.  I sure am. 

Come back and visit on the weekend and I will have a cover shot, and story excerpt up on my News and Reviews Page as well as an adults only excerpt  if you follow my Get-bit By My Free Reads link to my Blogger site.

Dare to Dream will be released by Siren Bookstrand Publishing on July 7th but should be available for pre-order on the first.

I Have Prevailed!

Over what? You might well ask.  My first go round of  edits!  What you thought we writerly types just wrote those wonderful stories and the publishers sent them to print or digitized them?  Hardly!

After we painstakingly go over each word and point of punctuation and the publisher of our choice says, "Hey, we want to publish your book!"  We must make it even closer to perfection.  The publisher assigns editor/s to go over each sentence to find typos, plot holes, mis-punctuation and so forth.  Each house has their own guidelines to adhere to.

Personally, I had a horrible case of, "Oh My God!" with a few editorial comments.  But you know what?  I have a great publisher.  One that not only cares about the business end of publishing but the human side of it as well.  She, poor dear, understands the artistic temperament.  A simple explanation, and I was good to go.

I got my edits on Friday afternoon.  On Sunday afternoon they were back in the hands of Siren Bookstrand Publishing.  Not bad for a newbie. 
(Thanks Diana)

So, look for Dare to Dream in July as a Siren Classic!
(Apparently, I'm a little too hot for mainstream.  LOL)

I can't wait to see my cover!
