Cover Reveal {Beloved + Freedom}



GUYSSSSS IT'S HERE.

THE COVER IS BEING REVEALED TODAY.



Nah, I'm not excited. It just seems that way.

YEAH ANYWAY.




I've made so many covers for this baby that I loved, and thought that would be the final, but then realized that no, it wasn't the right one. But y'all, I've finally got one I'm utterly in love with.



You're chomping at the bit to see this baby, yes? Well, don't let me hold you back any longer! *drum roll* I now present to you . . .

THE COVER!!!


About the book:

Life hurts.

Cara Richards just doesn’t care anymore. Alone and unloved, she decides that there’s only one response to the nightmare that has become her life.

When an unwelcome intervention disrupts Cara’s plans, her life is changed in a way that she never imagined. Regardless of how tough she believes herself to be, she’s unprepared for another foster family. She’s even less prepared for five foster brothers, one of whom is convinced that God is the answer to all of her problems. Though she prides herself on a resilient heart, her life continues to spiral into a world full of questions.

Is death really the answer? Does God actually care? Can everyone truly be loved, no matter what?


Nope, not excited at all . . .

So, as something super fun, Faith and I each ordered a copy of our books just for this special occasion! In case, ya know, you'd like to see the spine, back, and a bit of the inside. ;)

Prepare to be bombarded with pics because I'm kinda in love with this and I did a photo shoot on a GORGEOUS evening.

*allllll the heart eyes*



'Cause, I mean, ya gotta see the back. It's almost more beautiful than the front, in my opinion
Shouldn't put the author name in black . . . oh well
*More heart eyes*
My first attempt at formatting! I'm pretty pleased with it, myself. ;) If only this were the final draft...

And of course, what authoress would I be if I didn't take a selfie with my book, messy hair and all?

*squeals* *screams* Isn't it so beautiful??

If you'd like to see Faith's equally-beautiful cover (well, I mean, I'm kinda in love with mine, but I mean, hers is amazing too), visit her post! Seriously, y'all. It's g o r g e o u s.

There are also a good number of people helping us spread the news—and the covers!

    I do have two questions though, why is the blog tour called "13 Reasons Why"? And for the blog tour, are you going to be offering ARC copies?

    1. Awww, thank you, Julia!!

      That's a good question! Netflix recently came out with a TV series titled 13 Reasons Why, about a girl who committed suicide. It basically romanticized suicide (giving 13 reasons why she committed suicide), and has influenced others, in real life, to do the same actions. We are doing a blog tour to speak out against suicide, with 13 reasons why you *shouldn't* commit suicide. Does that make sense?

      And yes, we'll be offering e-ARCs for the blog tour. :)
