Covers in the Air--er, Water

The fabulous art team at Harper (*waves at Amy*) has at long last relinquished the final cover of my upcoming mermaid book, FORGIVE MY FINS. Are you ready for it? Here goes...

Wait a sec. First I think you need to read a bit about the story. I mean, you're not supposed to be judging books by their covers, are you? Even if we all do that, just a tiny bit, today I'm not giving you a choice. You're going to have to get through the jacket blurb before you see the cover. (And don't even think about skipping over! Naughty, naughty.)

Lily Sanderson has a secret, and it’s not that she has a huge crush on gorgeous swimming god Brody Bennett, who makes her heart beat flipper-fast. Unrequited love is hard enough when you’re a normal teenage girl, but when you’re half human, half mermaid like Lily, there’s no such thing as a simple crush.

Lily’s mermaid identity is a secret that can’t get out, since she’s not just any mermaid – she’s a Thalassinian princess. When Lily found out three years ago that her mother was actually a human, she finally realized why she didn’t feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and she’s been living on land and going to Seaview high school ever since, hoping to find where she truly belongs. Sure, land has its problems – like her obnoxious, biker boy neighbor Quince Fletcher – but it has that one major perk – Brody. The problem is, mermaids aren’t really the casual dating type – when they “bond,” it’s for life.

When Lily’s attempt to win Brody’s love leads to a tsunami-sized case of mistaken identity, she is in for a tidal wave of relationship drama, and she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily-ever-after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.

Whew! Got that out of the way. Now without (much) futher ado, I present the gorgeous, beautiful, magical cover of FORGIVE MY FINS.

Thoughts?

Hugs,
