Did you hear that sound? Just in case you missed it, I’ll reiterate: SQUEEEEEEE!
That was me screaming in unrestrained-bouncing-off-the-walls-floating-on-a-cloud-who-knew-I-could-fly excitement! Weathering Rock finally has a cover, brilliantly designed by Valerie Tibbs of Tibbs Design. Lyrical Press has amazing cover artists and I was thrilled to have Valerie working on this. Take a gander:
Yeah, I know it’s large. Okay, maybe even a little blatantly in your face but indulge me, okay? That’s my name up there. And those are my characters, Caleb DeCardian and Arianna Hart. It took a lot of work to reach this point but every minute has been worth it. I can’t thank Valerie enough for doing my characters justice. I know it wasn’t easy to find a male cover model with long blond hair, but he wouldn’t have been Caleb otherwise. Valerie delivered!
For a lot of you, you’ve been here/done that, but I bet the glow never fades. As a first-time novelist with WEATHERING ROCK releasing on October 8, 2012, I’m happy to float for a while. Please excuse me while I go bask . . . 🙂
Happy Monday, everyone. It certainly is for me!
Awesome! I love it, Mae, and I’m excited for you!! Woo Hoo! It truly is a beautiful cover. The countdown is on for the big release. 😉

A great story like WR deserves this rockin’ cover. And a great writer like you should blast it all over the place so folks will see it and be primed and ready to buy WR come October– and be thrilled to discover their new favorite writer– MAE CLAIR!
This has been a wonderful thing for me, being a witness to you making your dreams come true, my friend.
I checked out Valerie’s site– she’s very talented. I’m so glad you got matched up with her.

This is wonderful! You are definitely entitled to multi-bask. LOL And I know how hard it is to find long blond hair for male cover models — I wanted one for my highwayman, but alas, I couldn’t find anything. I’m so glad you got one for your hero. Even though I don’t want summer to be over, I’m looking forward to October now. 🙂
