My Book Cover!!!!

(If you’re looking for an Annabelle update…. that will come later today or tomorrow when I know more… waiting on doctors rounds which will be later than normal today… So in the mean time….)

I’ve been given the go ahead to share my book cover with you!

AAHHHH!! I’m just a wee bit excited, can you tell?!?

Drum roll please…

 

She moved to Sandwich, Illinois, in search of a new life, but ended up in a giant pickle.

Sandwich represents hope for twenty-year-old Maddie Buckner and Kyle,
the eleven-year-old brother Maddie wants to spring out of foster care.
Then she loses her new job after less than an hour on the clock. It’s
all Reuben-the-Jerk’s fault, and she’s determined to make him right the
wrong. 

He does so, reluctantly, by giving her a job at his restaurant, The
Sandwich Shop. Then crazy things start happening at the restaurant, and
Kyle’s foster parents apply to adopt him. To stop it all, Maddie must
learn the art of humbling herself and accepting the help God has
arranged, risking her heart to Reuben in the process.

And she’d rather eat a million corned-beef on rye sandwiches than do that.

********

So… what do you think??

And if you didn’t see yesterday’s post… my book is now, officially, for sale!!!! It’s listed on Amazon, Christian Books, and Books a Million! (I don’t believe you actually are charged for it until it ships in September… although that might vary upon sight, and obviously if you’re an eReader that will be available later too!) Also, I checked today, and my cover is showing on Christianbooks.com!

I think I might have to pinch myself… for so long it’s felt SO far away and now it’s getting REAL! AHHH!!

Okay, I’ll settle down now.

THANK YOU by the way to all those who said they already pre-ordered (and for the 5 people that “liked” my book on Amazon… you all are SO INCREDIBLY SWEET!!!!)

I think Jesus KNEW I needed this excitement this week. In fact I know He did. Yesterday was a tough day… but God is FAITHFUL and *sigh*. He knows what we need!

    Amazing book cover. Absolutely love it. Very eye-catching. So very excited for you Krista! We know what it's like to have a dream and see God do the miracle to make it happen. You get to watch it slowly unfold and then bang it all starts happening at once. So get ready to hang on for the ride. ( ; Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.

    Krista,
    What wonderful news! The cover is soooo appealing! I love it! I can't wait to read it. It seems like such a tease after reading the blurb and September seems so far away. I know what people are getting as gifts from me this year! Best of wishes (and we're still praying).

    Catchy and fetching at the same time. LOVE the title, and the blurb is even better. Also love the hero's name…Reuben. Nice play on words. 🙂 Congrats on the pre-order and upcoming release of your debut novel. God does have a great way of giving us blessings like this in the midst of trials. His timing is always perfect….even when we doubt it at the time.

    Of COURSE I had to pop over here and say CONGRATS on that too-cute cover and ever cuter story-line.

    Love it, Krista!
