Just Made a Decision.

       So I have as of two minutes ago just made my final decision on which cover I choose and let me tell you that it was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. This one decision has now set the tone of all the covers within the series and I can only pray that I just made the right decision. I think I did, I know that it will market well, but of course my favorite cover was not that one. Oh well, I think this was the right decision and I can only hope that when it comes out in stores that it will catch people's eye and draw them in. When I hear back from my publisher I will ask if I will be allowed to post the cover for you guys to see.
        As for everything else, I'm really glad that that the summer has unofficially begun. This time of year is when I'm usually at my most creative so I'm hoping that that will translate into the revamping of my newest novel and the polishing of my second which I hope to be ready to send to the publisher soon. I also just got a new fish tank and a new Betta fish. He's beautiful, with a mixture of greens, blues and reds. I can only hope that he will last awhile. Of course, now my brother wants to put something in the tank too, but for those of you who have owned Betta you know that putting other fish into the tank with them is not a good idea. So at PetSmart yesterday we talked to them and they said that other fish were out but that snails were in, which is good because my brother has an obsession with them and they keep the tank clean. Score! And yes, for those of you who were wondering, my fish does have a name. His name is Neal, and I know, a weird name for a fish, but that is actually kind of a funny story. Two of my cousins were down this weekend and I asked the one "What should I name my fish?"
His response, "I don't know. Neal."
"Neal? Why Neal?"
"I don't know, it's just what popped into my head."
"Well, I'm not naming my fish Neal." I then realized that thus far I have always named my pets after something from a book, so I asked my other cousin to pick a book randomly from the shelf and that the first male character to speak would be the new fish's name. Now keep in mind that I own over 600 books, so she went up a shelf pucked one off and handed it to me. I open it up and I quote. "Then Neal spoke ..."
"Well, I guess his name is Neal." 

As always I'll keep you guys updated about my book.
