My next novel has a title AND a cover! I ran a contest on Facebook over the weekend to guess the missing word in the title . . . The Finder of FORGOTTEN Things.

The guesses were great! And interestingly, the number one guess was LOST (8 guesses)–which was almost the title, but there was a book with that title releasing just ahead of mine so we switched it up to Forgotten. Two folks guessed MISSING which was a close second for the final title. And Liz Johnson chimed in with the correct answer! The randomly selected winner of a signed book is Tammie M. with a guess of Lost.

When authors finally get to see that perfect title on a new cover, we become like grandmas with the latest photos of new grand babies. We’ll show ’em to strangers at the grocery store given half a chance.

Which is why it’s almost unkind of the publisher to send over the cover BEFORE I’m allowed to share it. I get to see that beauty before it’s been absolutely finalized and because it would be confusing to share a cover that then gets changed, I have to keep it to myself.

And really, I shouldn’t share it until readers can preorder the book anyway. If you love it, I want you to be able to buy it now for delivery later! All that said, though, I’m planning to give my newsletter subscribers a sneak peak at the cover in late February ahead of the March preorder going up.
