Book Cover Revealed!

You may have read an earlier post where I mentioned the fact that I had a professional cover designed for my first book.  My guess is you are wondering what the final result looks like.  And I’ve been holding out on you.

Maybe neither of them is completely terrible and I’m just over-thinking it too much.

But it is also very exciting.

Before I move on to the cover, I should probably let you in on what name I am writing under.  It’s still my name, just not the exact name I have been blogging under.  Instead, I will be using the nickname P.J.  It’s a choice I made awhile back and I’ve decided to stick with it. 

Many of you are aware my book is a mystery.  I will introduce you to the characters soon but for now, here is a blurb to give you an idea behind the story involving my protagonist:

Two mothers; two secrets revealed. 

Jorja Matthews thought she had the perfect life; until the loss of her job combined with the loss of a family member in a tragic accident leads to an unexpected turn of events.  She is further shaken to the core after the decision to move back into her family home reveals the discovery of a disturbing family secret.  As Jorja agrees to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of a friend’s mother, she also investigates the mystery surrounding her own family, which becomes complicated when the only family member with all the answers is now deceased. 

When the best kept secrets are finally revealed, will the ties that bind, unravel?

No Mother of Mine, by P.J. Howell

So now I am curious about your thoughts and your comments.  Does the blurb strike you?  Does the cover draw you in?  I know many might have questions about the name of the book.  But does it intrigue you?  If so, stay tuned.  Either by signing up to receive my posts by email or connecting with me on Facebook and please, if you have a friend or two who you believe might be interested, be sure to pass this on to them as well.
