Whoop, there it is! My avatar at left is the official cover of my book! I just love it! Tell me what you think. I'd love to know what your first impression is. I don't know how to make it so you can click on it and see a larger version, so you might have to get out your magnifying glass. What an amazing experience this is! ~Karen

Very nice. I like the quiet classicism and the suggestion of history with the vintage font and the old letters. It looks pretty clear even tiny on my smartphone. Great color scheme too.

I love it. It's very compelling. I'd pick that book up in a minute (and I'm picky about what I pick up ;)).

Ah, I remember back when you were first asking questions about doing this book. Now you have a cover, and it's fabulous. I'm looking forward to reading it.

My book's on Amazon!

Oh my goodness! A friend congratulated me on my book being on Amazon and guess what? I had no idea it was there! But sure enough, it is.

You can pre-order a copy of BREAKING THE CODE - A DAUGHTER'S JOURNEY INTO HER FATHER'S SECRET WAR and at a discount too. I'll try to put a link here; http://www.amazon.com/dp/1402261128/?tag=absowrit-20 so you can have a look. Or you can search "Breaking the Code Memoir" on the Amazon site.

This is so exciting! Every step of the way is like Christmas. The final copy edited manuscript is in my hands for one last look, so still work to do, but I guess this is really going to happen...lol. Wow!

Many congrats! I remember when you were first working on this. Can't wait for it to hit stores, then I'll be off to BN.

Up at the house.
Feminine (that's a given), intriguing and fine use of the rule of thirds.

You asked for a first impression.

Good job and good luck, though you'll hardly need it.

Thank you again everyone! It will indeed be out in e-format as well. It will be released the same day as the print version. The e-version will be available for pre-order on Amazon, soon. They're working on it now. So amazing to even be talking about this!
