The Wait

You know, worse than being rejected for a story is the wait for a story to be published once accepted.

If my story is rejected, then fine, I move on. But the wait, once the publisher gives the release date KILLS ME!!!!

I can’t wait for the 15th of July for “Mama’s Heart” to be released and the 1st of September for “The Pauper’s Prize”!

Anyway, While I'm waiting I am writing! Oh, and I also did this mock up cover. (It's not the official one. My publisher will give me that. But it was fun to do)

    Hey Mark, you did good on the mock cover. I'm curious to know which cover you picked. The three covers are wonderful.

    Thanks, Tierney!

    I picked the single male picture--but I think they are changing the rose to lilac because of my story.

    You really are good at making your mock covers. So do we get a teaser? Can you post an excerpt? I'm dying to know more about this story. I know you're getting excited about your release day!

    xxoo,
