The Mystery of the Midnight Trespasser update!


  Good morning everyone! =)  Today I have a surprise for you, my readers!  Don't you love surprises?  Or maybe not?  Well, I'll give you one anyways. =)





   YES!  I am having sign-ups for the cover release for my novella The Mystery of the Midnight Trespasser!  This is book #1 in the Kessler Kids Mysteries!

   Here is a little bit about my novel!!


Genre: Mystery/Fiction/Christian
Age Range: Probably mainly tweens, but anyone can read it! =)
Word Count: Around 21,000
Started Planning:  August 2014
Synopsis: 

"Rosy growled, and I knew she was pacing the porch. I sensed her uneasiness. Something was wrong. Rosy never barked at cars; why would she choose this one?" 

13 year-old Emily Kessler believes in God, but when she discovers someone trespassing in the middle of the night, can she learn to trust in Him completely? Will she have the courage to solve the mystery with her friends? And when everything falls apart, will Emily be able to keep those she loves safe?


   I had published this novella last summer...but a few months ago I took it off so it is currently un-available for sale.  After learning a lot about book designs and correct formats, I saw some errors that needed to be fixed. (and I had a friend advising me as well)  It had a lot of work that needed to be done...as well as a new cover that was created for it!  And now I can say that it is much, much better, thanks to several friends and relatives who have helped me with the editing. =)  And now I am letting you, dear readers, help me in the cover release!

   What is a cover release sign up?  If you want to participate with me (and I hope you do!) then fill out the form below!  I will email you the new cover (that my wonderful friend Alea Harper made for me!) and the information for my novella!  This you will post on your blog on the cover release date:  April 18th.  In addition, you will be entered in a drawing to receive a signed copy of The Mystery of the Midnight Trespasser or an advanced reader's copy!  I will also be announcing the release date soon!

   If you want to participate, please sign up below!  I am so excited, and I hope you are too!!! =)

***after-note because several readers mentioned this***  If you do not have a blog and want to participate, feel free to do so!  You can use a Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest account!  If that works out better for you, post the url in the "Blog URL" slot and your "Blog Name" can be the name your account is under!  I hope this solves any and all problems you might have! ***End of note***

  Without further adieu...

I REALLY hope one of those works out for you!! =) Just put the link in the "blog url" slot, and you can be in it!!

    2. I actually don't have any social media accounts. No Facebook, Twitter, or even Pinterest. :)

      I'm so sorry about that! I'd love to mention it to people through word-of-mouth, though. I'm afraid that's the best I can do. *sad smile* But I'm really happy for you! :)
