There are several milestones an author waits for, and then celebrates.
The first ‘The End‘.
The first contest.
The first conference.
The first pitch.
The first query.
The first request.
The Call.
The contract signing.
The first round of edits.
The official title.
And…. as of today I’ve been waiting to see my book cover for a little over a year from the time of the call. AND today, I’m celebrating, not only with the cover reveal, but with the official blurb.
A Kingdom in Jeopardy
An evil queen and her royal guards will stop at nothing to find—and kill—the rightful heir to the throne of Judah. When their pursuit leads them to Mira’s village, only her father’s bond servant, Ari, a man shrouded in secrets, can keep Mira safe.
Abandoning his life as a temple guard and becoming an indentured servant was the only way Ari could protect young Joash, the true King of Judah, from Queen Athaliah. But his sacred duty prevents him from confessing his feelings for his master’s daughter. With the future of their nation on the line, Ari and Mira will risk everything to save their people.
Celebrate with me. Leave a comment before midnight (central) on Thanksgiving and be entered into a drawing for a 25.00 Amazon gift card. Winner will be announced Friday, November 29, 2013. Winner will be chosen using Random.org.
