- New schedule I thought I'd have all the time in the world when my daughter started kindergarten, but I fill those 6 hours so quickly. I actually need more time.
- Full cover of Stalked by Death If you didn't see the picture I posted on FB, here the full cover with Jodi holding Medusa's locket. My editor had the locket made for the cover. How awesome is that?

That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
OMG Kelly - your new cover is fabulous! It goes great with the other one.
ReplyDeleteBig congrats to Sheri on her new agented status, and her giveaway is totally awesome! Way to go, Sheri!! :-D
I'll second the way to go, Sheri! :)
DeleteThanks for the kind words about my cover, too.
Never heard of a rafflecopter before. Will have a look. The new cover is very eyecatching. Is the locket for you? Enjoy your new routine - the week will go in no time.
ReplyDeleteThis week, I'm finishing the final chapters of my first draft. I got stuck on one particular chapter so I'm writing the last chapter first, then going back. With any luck,the first draft will be finished by mid September.
The original idea was to make a few lockets for a giveaway, but then we decided to use it on the cover. I hope we'll still have a few lockets made. I'd love one!
DeleteI'm with you on drafting. Two nights ago, I stopped and skipped ahead to the climax. I wrote the climax through the end of the book. It really helped. I have a clear ending point to work toward now. Good luck!
Lovely cover - I till think you should try to pretend it's you - I have a couple of (young male) writers who think my cover is me!!!Funneee. Amazing where the time goes, isn't it! I bet you thought you'd be writing great sagas when A went to school!! Have a productive week. I'm on sorting out another bit of the Victorian novel - and it's on resisting me tooth and nail.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Victorian novel, Carol! I should pretend I'm the girl on the cover. LOL. :)
DeleteHi Kelly, I'm not too sure how this works never having heard of a raffle copter before, but am certainly going to give it a whirl!! As for preferred rpizes...well it has to be the 3 chapter critique. Wow!!! :-0
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Edith! Rafflecopter is really easy to use. You shouldn't have any problems.
DeleteI wish I could see the locket up close!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Me too! I want to hold it and wear it. :)
DeleteWow, you weren't kidding, that is one huge giveaway! Congrats to Sheri!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Kelly, I am in love with that new cover!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing in my celebration giveaway!
Thanks, Sheri! I'm so happy for you!
DeleteWow, the full cover is beeeeautiful, and the locket as well. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, time. I sometimes wish they'd me more that 24 hours in a day, but I'm sure that won't be enough..LOL
Congrats, Sheri. and thanks for the giveaway..wow!
I don't think there could ever be enough hours in a day. LOL
DeleteThe expanded cover opens so many questions. It's great!
ReplyDeleteHoly giveaway, batman. Adding this one to the website. :)
Thanks!
DeleteGorgeous. You've got a lovely brand going there, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane!
DeleteThe cover is stunning! Every time I see it I'm all, "Whoa..."
ReplyDeleteThis giveaway is crazy! And anyone worried about the Rafflecopter: don't freak out. It's actually really easy and simple to use.
Yes, it's very easy. Oh, and thank you for the kind words. :)
DeleteI'm glad the editor had the locket made for your cover. He really likes your writing and knows it's worth his attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteMe too! She's amazing.
DeleteCongrats to Sheri for signing on with an agent and your cover is gorgeous, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allyn!
DeleteStill loving the cover! It's gorgeous. I feel you about the time thing. There just doesn't seem to be enough of it.
ReplyDeleteNo, never enough time.
DeleteNot to mention having to help out with homework and stuff, not enough time...My reading has cut down since my daughter started Kindergarten :(
ReplyDeleteOooh, your covers look so pretty-full side by side on your sidebar!
My limited reading time has more to do with my writing and editing than my daughter's school. She doesn't get homework until next month, which is nice.
DeleteLove the new cover! And I'm with you on the busyness thing...anyone got an extra couple of spare hours to pass around?
ReplyDelete:0)
I'm willing to pay for those extra hours. ;)
DeleteI love the cover, especially the way it wraps around to the back. Great job to whoever made that happen! And big doesn't even begin to describe that giveaway. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteIt was Kate Kaynak at Spencer Hill Press. She does magic. I'm sure of it. ;)
DeleteHow cool that the cover wraps to the back and I love the locket! I think it is awesome that it was made for the cover. What a giveway! I will have to come back when I have more time for my entries. Glad it is open for a little while. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Thanks, Jess, and good luck!
DeleteYour editor actually had a locket made? As in metalsmithing and jewelry and all that? That is too cool. Have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteYes. She has a friend who makes jewelry, so together they made the locket for me. I haven't seen it in person yet. Only in pictures.
DeleteThe full cover looks amazing and it's great seeing Sheri's awesome news and giveaway everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Medeia. Yes, I couldn't be happier for Sheri.
DeleteIt's an amazing cover, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, William!
DeleteNo matter how much free time I have to write, it does go by quickly. I'm often re-arranging my schedule to find more time. I love that cover. Really nice.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all who entered.
