Happy Cover Reveal Day (and birthday!) To Brenda Drake!

Good Morning!

Does everyone know what day it is for Contest Goddess and all-around fabulous person Brenda Drake? If you said her birthday, you'd be right. But it's also the day when she gets to REVEAL THE COVER of her novel, LIBRARY JUMPERS, to the world!

Woohoo!

I'm super excited to share Brenda's news with all of you here at Writer's Blog as well. So now, without further ado....

BEHOLD!!

BEYOND THE HIDDEN GATEWAYS THAT CONNECT THE LIBRARIES OF OUR WORLD, LIES A DARK AND DANGEROUS WORLD JUST WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED.

Isn't it purty?? And as if libraries weren't already the best, she's gone and made them even more amazing. When can you get your hands on this book, you ask? It releases in February 2014 from Month9 Books. In the mean time, go ahead and hop over to Brenda's blog to say congrats and happy birthday!
