Birth of a book cover. Mine.

Filed under: Faith,Writing — Christa Allan @ 2:22 am

One day you wake up and find your dream in your email box.

If I am this breathless by seeing the picture of my book cover, I’m going to need an oxygen tank when I hold the book in my hands. Every time I see it, I’m reminded of how blessed I am to have come this far in my journey. Our God truly is an awesome God.

Abingdon Press Fiction

It also helps to be surrounded by a great team, like my editor Barbara Scott at Abingdon Press, and the Anderson Design Group whose vision captured the heart of my book. And Rachelle Gardner, my agent, who blazed the trail.

The release date for Walking on Broken Glass isn’t until March of 2010, but don’t wait until then to check out Abingdon’s fiction. Click HERE to view more amazing covers, titles, and authors.

    Hey, Christa,

    I saw your post on the ACFW and had to pop over and see your new cover. It’s awesome! I think that has been the *most* exciting part of my novelist journey, seeing my cover for the first time.

    My good friend Joyce Magin also contracted with Abingdon. Her novel, Prayers for Agnes Sparrow, releases in September. I’m thrilled for her. And congrats to you, too!

    From, another Christa (Parrish, that is).

    Wow! Wonderful cover. Demands one’s attention. :) Congrats!

    That cover is GORGEOUS! Very sexy. It belongs on its own display stand (along with many, many other copies) in the front of every major book retailer in America. I can’t wait until 2010!

    Thank you for the kind words. Anderson Design Group deserves all the praise!
