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?

    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!
