Teaser Tuesday

I HAVE COVER ART FOR
THE HEALING SPELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It's GORGEOUS! I'm thrilled and LOVE it - AND I CAN'T SHARE. Publisher's orders. They said NO showing off fabulous, wonderful, beautiful cover until we deem that it's time to flood the world and start officially buzzing!

How's that for a teaser? I will tell you that they took one of my suggestions to add a particular something to the cover - and they all agree it really makes it *pop*. Happiness!

Sorry, my friends! But I promise it will be worth the wait. I guess I can see Scholastic's point - after all, the pub date is still 10 months away. EXACTLY 10 months from today - yippeee!

But I CAN share the artist who did the cover art. His name is Marc Tauss. Check out his other book jacket covers. (First link on the left on the Home Page). Then open up the thumbnails, they're even prettier full blown. And I am in awesome writerly company! He's done jacket art for K.L. Going, Joan Bauer, Laurie Halse Anderson, Ann Rinaldi, Tracy Mack, Bruce Colville, Ann Turner, etc.

Here's the one-liner teaser we're thinking of putting on the back cover - and it PERFECTLY fits my status today.

About Me

Kimberley Griffiths Little
I started scribbling stories almost as soon as I learned how to write, and never stopped. Got the bug early - probably too early for my own good because getting published is a LONG, HARD road and only intense dedication and patience and hard work will get ya there. I wanted to be one of those authors who *lived* on the library shelves. I can tell you that it's a very cool place to hang out! My novels: BREAKAWAY (Avon), ENCHANTED RUNNER (Avon), THE LAST SNAKE RUNNER (Knopf). Magazine work pubbed in: The New Era, The Friend, Family Circle, Children's Digest and Cricket. Tracey Adams, my brand new agent extraordinaire just sold a THREE BOOK DEAL for me to Scholastic Press!!! THE HEALING SPELL, Summer 2010 THE TRAITUER'S DAUGHTER, Summer 2011 SECRET RITES OF THE GODDESS, Fall 2011
