You have to read the book to fully appreciate all the symbols tucked away in the cover!!! 😍 It captures the eclectic, creative feel of it so well!

A sneak peek from my story, Invisible ✨

What element of the cover most piques your curiosity? (Me? I’m partial to that silhouette of a wolf beside that lovely cluster of flowers – and the dragon!) Don’t you LOVE the design of the back cover? 🥰 Have you added it to your TBR? Are you also a little shook at how fast the summer’s gone?

  3. YES! To all of that! Beautiful graphics, Saraina! They are awesome! (I saw them on Sisters Three.) Wow. And the cover….you’re right. As much as I may appreciate it right now, once I’ve read it, I’ll be even more blown away, won’t I?

    What part of the cover most peaks my curiosity? Oh, the words. Just kidding, lol! The bird, the dragon, and the wolf. Woah, you’re right – flowers in the wolf’s mouth!!! Man, I need a clearer view of the back. It all looks so good.
    Yes, summer whizzed by frighteningly quick. 😦

    1. Awww, THANK YOU! ❤ *hugs you back and stares in awe at the wheelbarrow of chocolate and good stuff* LOL. Poor you! 😭 Oh my, that would be so cool, girl! *chuckles* I can be incredibly forgetful too… *blames it on daydreaming tendencies*

      I always love seeing your comments, Mellie! 😉 🤗

      1. XDXDXD Since when can a girl have too much chocolate and good stuff? *is currently thinking that that is very possible and therefore advises you not to overindulge on sweets and good stuff* Haha, nah, I’m not too poor if I found out about it recently. 😉 I’m not too late LOL! And LOL, lis-eeeeen. (Yes, there is no “t” in this sense.) Daydreaming must happen. We are writers. Writers must daydream. Otherwise, stories go ker-splat. XD

        Aww, you’re sweet! *hugs*

        1. Good thinking. *saves 90% of the sweets for later* (I have a thing for saving sweets, though…sometimes it’s a curse, like the time I realized that chocolate melted in my pocket. *hides in embarrassment* 🤣 Lesson learned.) AMEN. *salutes* I promise to go on daydreaming.

          ❤ *hugs you tighter…but not too tight*

          1. Oh. Oh, dear. That is not good. Was it able to wash out in the washer???? Hehe, yes, proceed to daydream wisely. 😉

            I appreciate the caution. I’m short and light enough to try flying on my own. XD

              1. Ah, good, good! 😀

                LOL, no, that is not where that came from. (You remembered! *is impressed*) I guess I started having a cooler randomly … and then Milly decided it could fly, thereby giving us a flying cooler. XD

                1. LOL!! (I seem to have a selective memory 😇 In all fairness, it was rather…shall we say, memorable. 😛 ) Oh, I see! That’s so funny!
