No, it wasn't a high-pitched sonic boom or your smoke alarm going off this morning, it was me squealing when a box of galleys for DEAD GIRLS ARE EASY was delivered to my door! I wasn't expecting them this early, and I was floored!
"Galleys", also known as ARC's (Advanced Reader Copies), are the bound, pre-proofed version of your book that is sent to reviewers and booksellers (a sneak preview, if you will).
Here's a closer view of what the cover actually looks like:
Isn't it cool? I guess this is the official "unveiling" of the cover! The first time I saw it, I thought, "Whoa," but within five seconds I was thinking, "Yeah!". I just love it. All Halloweeny and spooky and cool and funny. It fits the book perfectly, and look at my name on top! LOL
Even better, the back cover copy is not what I thought it was going to be - it's even better! I haven't been able to stop smiling all day!
Holding that actual book in your hand makes an incredible journey finally seem real.
Wow. It's a good day.

Just found your blog when I read the title of your book on Amazon and had to know what it was about. And now it's on my list of books to watch for. Looks good.
Thanks, Tawny & Beth! I got so excited when I uploaded the earlier pictures that I left my camera on all day and the battery died! LOL I can't take a picture of the back cover until tomorrow. Thanks for sharing in my excitement!
