Cover Love #4: Middle Grade edition! (+UPDATES!)

Hello cover lovers,
It's been awhile since I posted one of these. But I have a new favourite book cover - and it's for a middle grade novel!

Debut author Shannon Messenger's cover for The Keeper of Lost Cities is pretty rad, I love the illustration style, and the wind movement and it just looks like an exciting adventure book for middle grade readers, doesn't it? My bet: it IS.


Speaking of covers, I've given The Ballerina & My Best Friend a makeover!

Check it:


Pretty, yes? I think so.

I've been a VERY busy bee lately. I've been putting the finishing touches on Edwina Ray's new short (though it's longer than her other short stories) Guilty Until Proven Innocent, writing a new short YA romance for Sarah Billington, plotting out a series of YA stories all centred around one very eventful Saturday night, preparing my middle grade ebook Life Was Cool Until You Got Popular for PRINT and within days I start on the third round of edits of YA chick lit, The Kiss Off.

The Kiss Off has a cover already and everything.


Yes, it's about girls groping rock stars. But mostly other stuff.

Happy Thursday everyone!

    I hadn't seen Shannon's cover yet - it looks great. And I really like your covers too. Using the ticket stub for a title was a great idea.

      I sure am working hard. I'd forgotten how spending ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT on the computer hurts my back. I need a massage... :) Good luck with Craic, Maureen - share any tips if you have them!

      I know - I would totally buy artwork from that illustrator. And I would hang it on my wall and pet it occasionally.
