I have the finalized cover for my first young adult book, Heartbreak River, and a release date — April 2009! This is so cool, I’m grinning like a fool. I feel the need to periodically get up and do the happy dance around my office. Waiting for a cover is crazy-making. You bite your fingernails and hope you get a good cover. It really can make a difference in sales. I have to say I’m thrilled with this cover. If I get a really good cover for my Harlequin American that is coming out this September, I’ll be one happy woman.
So, what do you think?

Congrats!

Trish–
Wow, beautiful cover! I read a lot of YA–sometimes I find it fresher and less predictable than adult romance. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for yours when the time comes!

Thanks SO much, everyone, for your wonderful comments and taking the time to post them. If I’m this excited about the cover, I can’t imagine what I’ll be like when I’m holding the actual book. I might just pass out.

Hi Trish, that is a wonderful cover. I especially like the simplicity and the emotions portrayed. My goodness, it almost seems too yummy for a YA. But what do I know? Since I’m ancient. Congrats.

Whoa - I missed it earlier, but that’s so nice!
