Cover Reveal & Release Date!

The eBook version of Maladaptive is available for pre-order on Amazon until its official release on April 1st! I'm thrilled with how the cover turned out. The designers at Getcovers turned the cover I designed for Inkitt into something magical that feels exactly like the world of Maladaptive in my eyes. I'm so proud to share it!

The print version is scheduled to be released April 28th. It's uncomfortable to me the way that Amazon makes you pick a release date. I mean, you could publish it immediately, just push the button and do it. But that means trusting that it's perfect, and I wanted the opportunity to order a proof copy and read it the way it's meant to be read. Take one last look at it to catch any errors I might have missed, and to make sure that the cover looks as good in print as it does online.

So the April 28th date gives me that time to make any final tweaks. The proof is supposed to arrive this week, and I'm looking forward to holding it in my hands! If it passes my quality inspection, then there is a very good chance I will move the release date up. It really does make me uncomfortable to announce a date at all, even though I know that's just way it goes. It feels like trying to predict the future, and I keep thinking, "what if something comes up?" I know how that sounds...

I've been leaning into that discomfort as part of my Instagram release announcement. You know, it's a snow globe, not a crystal ball, LOL. Maybe that's lame. I'm sure it is. This is the part where it becomes real, and where I have to put on my big girl boots and try not to take people's reactions (or lack thereof) personally. 

I should really try to take a page from the book of Cara (which is, literally, this book) and close my laptop and go for a big daydream and ignore the real world for awhile, and pretend that what I've done is "nothing". And maybe I should daydream about something else for a change.
