I got the latest book cover design yesterday, but didn't see it until I opened my e-mails this morning. This is the final for the front cover. I'm sure there will be a full out cover with the back as well as soon as it's ready. So feel my excitement to see the front cover. Now to get the final edit and revision completed and I'll be holding that book in my hands. I did get another 8 chapters worked on yesterday. I'm now in the heart of the area needing the most revision. I had worked on that first when I got the news that changes were needed, so hopefully there won't be a lot that still needs to be done. But I know there is still work to be done in that area. How is your day going? Thanks for reading

I love the cover! It certainly catches the eye. Did you choose it yourself? Have to get off here soon. We are meeting friends for dinner midway between us and New York City. I must beauify and not get stuck in traffic.

I chose it through the many designer options and getting it tweaked. Now I just need to see the whole - front and back together. I'm looking forward to that. Enjoy dinner with friends.

@cacay1 I have a couple links on comments to the back cover copy, which I hope goes along with the picture on the book.

I'm halfway through the book, so I hope to be done by the end of the month.

It's a good cover, it makes you curious to know why the woman is standing by the sea looking at the ship.

@just4him This is what I thought, nostalgia of home.

@Hannihar Yes it will. I remember that feeling when I held Scarred in my hands for the first time. It was an awe inspiring moment for me. I expect no less when this one is finally in my hands.

Yes, and my friend proofed it for me, but as I've been reading it through for a final edit and revision, I've been seeing a lot she missed. So it's a good thing I'm doing this over.

It looks quite nice, but it could be even nicer, I think if we had a glimpse of the expression on the young lady's face as she watches the ship. Probably a side view of her.
