Limbo... how low can you go?
So, I've been a little MIA lately... mainly because I'm in limbo. No, I'm not doing the "Limbo" as the above picture and title might suggest. As much as I wish those Stayin' Alive-esque 70s bell-bottoms and matching top were mine, alas, they're not. I'm in limbo. That's right, I'm waiting in the in-between. Waiting for what, you ask? Well, the word on the street is that my cover art is being tweaked. If you're crying out, "For the love of all things holy, WHY???"... you're not alone. I'm disappointed too, but apparently it's going to be very similar to my first cover. Which is good. This whole cover switch-up just goes to show that the publishing industry is filled with ups and downs and twists and turns. Just when you think you know where the ride is taking you, it veers off in a different direction. I'm just thankful that I'm tall enough to ride the publishing roller-coaster... and that I have a safety harness.
Anyway, I've been on hold waiting for my tweaked cover to both blog about and to launch my website to the world. Since I haven't gotten El Newcover yet, I decided that I can't hold off any longer; I must blog. So today, I thought I'd share another author's fantastic cover news. The super funny and fantastic Carrie Harris has just revealed her cover art for BAD TASTE IN BOYS (summer 2011) to the world. Check out its awesomeness on her blog HERE. Can we say ooh-la-la?!
In the meantime, I should have some book news or other fun stuff to share with you all soon! :)

Aw, hopefully they don't change it too much. I loved that cover.
I also can't wait to see your new blog layout.
Thanks, Adriana! I'm crossing my fingers that it will just be slightly altered. We'll see. :)
*hug* It will be awesome. Just like you.
Omigosh, Carrie's cover is awesome and I loved your cover, too. I can't imagine they would do anything to make it *less* awesome, because, really, that would suck for them, too. Can't wait to see what fabulosity they come up with next! And I can't imagine how weird it is to have something so big completely out of your hands, yikes!

Seriously love Carrie's cover. If I didn't know how immensely cool she was and how much Christopher Walken and Richard Simmons loved her, and I saw that on the shelf, I would totally buy it!
So, the morale to the story is in this journey to publication...keep your seatbelt fastened tight!? :)
Aww, I loved the original...I hope your cover comes out just as awesome if not more! =)
*fingers crossed*
I love the old cover, but I'm betting the new one will be just as awesome! I look forward to seeing it! And you're right: Carrie Harris's cover is great!
Amy, hang in there girl. It'll happen. And it just might be even more awesome than before! Can't wait to see the cover.
Gah. Publishing tries to drive writers insane. It's why we drink so much wine. Hang in there.
I love Carrie's cover, and I can't wait to see yours!
Thanks for the comments!
Carrie -- Awww, shucks! Thanks. :)
Lindsay - Carrie's cover IS awesome, isn't it? And thanks for my cover compliment. I'm hoping it's as good as the first.
Claire -- My thoughts exactly!
DL -- Haha! Yes, you hit the nail on the head. A fastened seatbelt is a necessity (and maybe an airbag, too...just in case :)).
Lea - Thanks! :)
Dawn -- Thanks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Julie -- I hope you're right!
Eileen -- Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!
Guinevere - Carrie's cover is totally awe-worthy!!
I thought your cover was already complete. I love it!
Can't wait to see your new website!
I can relate to your waiting feeling! Why do they torture us?
