<cue trumpet music, confetti, dancing squirrels, and applause> The Official Release Date of my fantasy novel First of Her Kind ~ A Darkness & Light Novel is February 4th. Mark it on your calendar. Spread the word. Share with friend and foe alike. Shout it from the mountaintops! First of Her Kind will be available in print and e-versions (I’ll share purchase links on the 4th.)
Until the Official Release Date, I present you with the cover. I had planned on being able to do this a couple weeks ago, but wanted to make sure I was absolutely happy with it before I did. I believe I finally am. So without further ado, I present to you the full cover for First of Her Kind (created by moi!) which will appear on the print editions:
And, the e-book version — a cropped version of the full, but I’m posting it anyhow, because I can:
In celebration of First of Her Kind‘s release, a grand blog tour has been planned beginning on the 4th. I’ll post a schedule of stops later this week. Please come by and say hi. All the folks hosting are wonderful, supportive, awesome bloggers, and you should visit them frequently.
Okay, off to do my giddy happy dance where no one can see.
Ah, screw it, go ahead and watch.

Wow, you did the cover, too? You are so multitalented!

Thank you.
Another draw (no pun intended) for me to go Indie, I could do my own covers. Something I’ve always wanted to do.

Great cover.
Love it Kathi! The fonts really flows with the images. Very eye-catching.

Thank you. I went through many revisions, and totally tanked the first cover because it was . . . well . . . terrible.
