So: my first novel (Living with Ghosts) is due from DAW books next March. Today they sent me a picture of the cover. It's by Christian McGrath, and I really love it.
That cover alone would make me pick it up off the bookshelf and atleast give it a look. Which is a good thing! Add that to the fact that I love ghosts (even have a famous one in the family tree) plus my birthday is in March and you've just made a sale!
Now to decide which of my kids I'm going to con...umm, get to buy it for me....
