IT IS FABULOUS!

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE COVER ?
There are soooo many wonderful stories in this collaboration! For those who don't know about this project, here's a reminder… the 29 writers from across the globe each chose a track from the Composers For Relief Album, and composed a story of triumph focusing on the theme of Hope In Humanity.
My story, Your Heart Is Brave, is part of this collection. But to be quite honest, I'm not feeling very brave at this particular moment. I have butterflies in my tummy. My story (warts and all) is out there on display in the big, wide world for everyone to read. I'm not sure if it's even ready for public consumption… but it's too late now!
This project is for a worthy cause so I encourage you to check out the album and companion e-book. Dig deep in those pockets and support the victims of this disaster. I'm looking forward to purchasing my copies (got to have a paperback…)
The Insecure Writer’s Support Group! is a platform for all writers where we get a chance to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. The group posts the first Wednesday of every month. You are encouraged to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.
Don't forget to check out the IWSG on Facebook. The "News & Promo Saturday" feature is up and running. For those who don't know, the Saturday feature is a platorm where you have the opportunity to post one promotional piece and share some "writerly news" with the group, e.g. if you are planning a book blog tour, or want to share a great book cover, or maybe your book is going on sale, or will be free for a limited period… you can post your links in the Saturday post… or maybe you've landed an agent… signed a book deal… sold your 100th e-book… are excited about that long awaited for e-zine publication… secured another 5-star Amazon/Goodreads review… the IWSG facebook Saturday feature is the appropriate posting place for all this wonderful news! Check it out… and please pass this news along! Thank you IWSG'ers, you are AN AWESOME BUNCH OF PEEPS!
Oh, and one last thing… check out my blogfest coming up from 18-21st February (information and linky on the side bar…)
From someone who struggles constantly over book covers (I publish 5-10 books a year–non-fic), I love this cover. It absolutely makes me want to open it, read, read more. You need to add a link for the creator so we cover-fans can find her.
Sorry about the missing link.
You can find her at http://www.redstreakeart.com/ or on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jennifer-Redstreake-Geary/
That is a very cool cover art. Just hope one doesn;t fall on the head. That could hurt. It's raining books.
I love the book cover. Very well done and welcoming. Thanks for such a newsy post! I didn't know about the Saturday thing, so will check it out!
The cover is FANTASTIC!
Yes, it is scary throwing your "baby" out there into the world. We always want our kids to be loved and cherished.
What a great project! Fabulous cover. Best wishes.
Stephen, I wouldn't mind being knocked out by a flying musical book – the blow to the head may just knock some fantastic ideas into place – you never know… 🙂
Lisa, you can link your book to the Saturday FB post…
Robin, what if my baby doesn't receive a warm welcome…?
Diane, thanks for the wishes.
