Reader's Choice!

HAPPY FRIDAY, good people of the blogosphere! YAYYYYY! It's the beginning of the weekend! Today, I have three versions of the cover for The Bird. Please vote via the lil thingy on the right hand side of the blog if you don't mind. You're choosing the cover! Oh my... Yes, I've put my faith in you. -------->

Here's the synopsis:
Stormy Terrabonne's life is about to be changed forever by a bright red cardinal. She soon finds herself being whisked away from all she's ever known to save an entire race of people known as Trobodytes. When she's presented to the Queen, Stormy learns how she's expected to help: By killing an evil wizard named Bordash Bladeslinger and stopping him from cutting down the sacred trees that bind Trogon to Earth.

Now, there are only two trees left. One of the trees presents a double dose of jeopardy: It's also tied to the renewed life of Stormy's mother. While Stormy learns more about the gifts she gained by becoming a Trobodyte, someone manages to poison that all important tree.

It's a race against time as she faces a legion of fairy tale creatures she never knew existed, learns to harness the power within herself to battle Bordash Bladeslinger, and tries to find a way to heal the dying tree before it collapses and takes her mother with it.

And here are the cover choices:

This is cover choice 1.

This one is number 2.

And here's number 3.















Leave your vote. Reader's choice!

Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
