Sometimes, the ways in which we are really, really fortunate are breath-taking. I was blessed to have a second chance at publishing when Katherine Tegen took an interest in my work. I’ve been privileged to work with really wonderful editors, copyeditors, and designers at Harper-Collins. Brittany Jackson’s art is a-mazing, and I am blessed to have FOUR of my books sporting covers of hers. Berry’s tangerine (and slightly rage-fueled) energy in this illustration even caught Booklist’s eye. Drinking deep of the last dregs of summer, I am happily readying for the brilliant, sizzling colors of decorative gourd season, looking forward to my book’s release in a couple more weeks, and gratefully counting my blessings.
Yes to the “slightly rage-fueled energy in this illustration!” That single arched eyebrow does it for me!!
Congratulations! Excited to read this newest book of yours!!
@Cousin MaryLee: Considering how long I practiced to learn to arch a brow, I’d be envious of anyone who could do it so coolly in the seventh grade!
It is a gorgeous cover, Tanita, and I can’t wait to read this one!
@Karen Edmisten: It’s all part of my lifelong goal to make orange cool!!
