And then my editor sent THIS, and I knew it would suffice: the cover for Band of Sisters.
Isn't it cool? I had even suggested something with five women's hands together somehow.
This is a record for me: I got to keep the title I submitted (one my husband came up with, because I'm terrible at titles, but this one just fits) and the cover is essentially what I suggested. Wowzers!
This book will be on shelves in a mere TWO MONTHS! I've been waiting a long time for this one, so I'm very excited.
I'm also proofing the final galleys right now (about halfway through as I type this), so the timing of getting to see it this morning is perfect.
In summary: Squeeee!

Oohhh! That's gorgeous and definitely something that would catch my eye. I almost always judge a book by it's cover. ;o)
I'd squeeee with you but I'm too busy grumbling over editing...why is it that the lines I love don't seem to fit in anymore? It's like cutting off a finger!
Okay, grumbling over...

Titles are hard to pick! You say it's out in 2 months? Will it be out by MAr 27th? That's my birthday--maybe I should start hinting to my hubby to buy Annette Lyon's latest book...:) in 2 months of course--You getting a book trailer with it too? Or are book trailers just coming out? i really like that idea though.
