Here’s the full cover of “Flying with a Broken Wing.” The book is ready to send to the printer. Yippee! I’m quite excited about it and trying not to be too obnoxious in my excitedness (Is that even a word?) so I won’t do anything silly here on my blog like squeal or jump up and down or turn somersaults. My kids embarrass easily, and I wouldn’t want to embarrass the darlings. No, no, that wouldn’t do. But you know how it is sometimes. We just can’t stop ourselves from, I don’t know, being silly. I’m looking forward to the launch which is tentatively scheduled for the end of September. The day after my birthday, actually. I’m really looking forward to the release of this book.

/ August 9, 2013It’s a gorgeous cover, Laura! I especially like that the colours reiterate those of Bitter, Sweet’s cover. They’re going to look great together sitting side-by-side on my bookshelf after I’ve finished reading it… oh, and after people who borrow it return it again. That could be a while. 😉
