Here it is! The cover of my book, The Truth About Drew, which will soon be released on Amazon.com. The cover would not have come together without the assistance of my son, Zach, who agreed to be my cover model, and my husband, Jake, who picked out the journal for me to use, helped position Zach’s arms, and kept him from fidgeting during the shoot. 😉 (Oh, and my Mom, who helped me pick out the shirt.)
I still have a few final touches to make on the back cover, but here is the “blurb” from the back of the book, so you will finally know what the story is all about.
At fourteen, Claire Thomas leads the average life of a teenage girl, maneuvering her way through family, friendships, and first love. But her childhood best friend, Drew, is not your average teenage boy. In fact, he is downright unusual. Sometimes he disappears, almost before her eyes. He speaks in clichés and Bible verses, and is always writing in his worn leather journal. It seems he is trying to tell Claire something important, but she isn’t sure what.
After years of wondering why she is the only person to ever see or speak to him, thinking maybe he isn’t real and it’s all in her head, she is determined to discover the truth about Drew.
I would categorize the book as Young Adult Christian Fiction. There are some mature elements to the story that I think would only be appropriate for teens or “almost teens”, who have had “the talk” with their parents. 😉
Here are a few pictures I took the day I received my proof copy. So fun to have a physical copy of the book in my hands.
Yesterday was the big edit day. I’ve pored over the pages for the past week, penciling in the changes that needed to be made. Last night, I spent 7 HOURS at my computer making the corrections. Such a long process, but I actually enjoyed it. Can’t beat the feeling of accomplishment. Can’t wait to share it with you all.
