Dear Alison,
Thank you for my letter on Friday. I was teaching and didn't get to read it until late Friday night, but oh the memories of our time at the Writing Barn...so wonderful, so peaceful, so inspiring. The retreat was a much needed break from the insane fall I've had, and though we worked our butts off, it was a different kind of work, a good kind of work, my favorite kind of work, and sharing that work with you and Donna? Yeah, that was awesome. I, too, was really able to dig into my WIP and find Gigi's voice. She's so different from Starr and with so much prep work on Starr Lost (Book Two) and Starr Gone (Book Three), I had a hard time recapturing Gigi's voice, but Texas changed all that. Her 'in your face' style sets the tone for the entire young adult urban fantasy series, and I can't get her defiant nature out of my head. (People, you've been warned.)
Alison, you and I get to share the writing love every Monday and Thursday. Today, I get to share my friend Stacy Barnett Mozer's cover for her second book, THE PERFECT TRIP, releasing March 24, 2017 from Spellbound River Press. Before we get to the cover, here's a little about the book and the author:

About the author:
Stacy Barnett Mozer is a middle grade author, a book blogger, and an elementary
school teacher. Stacy started writing novels when one of her third grade
classes told her there was no way a real author who wrote real books could
possibly revise as much as she asked them to revise. She’s been revising her
own novels every since. Stacy is an active SCBWI (Society of Children's Books
Writers and Illustrators) member and is an Assistant Regional Advisor for New
England SCBWI, coordinating the region's critique groups. She is also the
founder of Sporty Girl Books, a blog for anyone who loves to watch, play, read,
and write about women and girls in sports.
THE PERFECT TRIP is the companion novel to THE SWEET SPOT,
which released from Spellbound River in March 2016.
About THE SWEET SPOT: When thirteen-year-old Sam Barrette’s baseball coach tells her that her attitude’s holding her back, she wants to hit him in the head with a line drive. Why shouldn’t she have an attitude? As the only girl playing in the 13U league, she’s had to listen to boys and people in the stands screaming things like “Go play softball,” all season, just because she’s a girl. Her coach barely lets her play, even though she’s one of the best hitters on the team.
