Honesty: I've been having a very, very, very sad week. There's the dichotomy of being Pagan and having the firmest faith and belief in the universe, of having ushered our beloved little kitty to the other side, of keeping vigil, knowing the Goddess holds him in Her arms, knowing he's happy and safe and taken care of in his passing. And then there's the mortal selfishness of wishing we could have him back. And then crying. Lots and lots and lots of crying.

Top it off with a looming book deadline, and, really, I'm kind of in shambles.

So. That's fun.

So I've been distracting myself with everything I can think of. When I'm not working on my novels, I'm plotting them, making outlines and notes and notes and notes. My publishing schedule in the upcoming year is industrious and slightly insane, and I'm hoping to not only hit it, but surpass it. So, yay! More sparkly lesbian books in the universe that has far too few of them.

I thought I'd share part of the sparkly process with you, in lieu of a super depressing entry. If the above depressed you, read on! There are sparkles, I promise.

When I start working on a novel, one of the first things I do is write a blurb and create a book cover for it. It helps cement everything about the book for me, so I have many, many, many book covers completed. Making them is one of my greatest joys (I don't why I obsess about making them, BUT DEAR GODS I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT), so I thought I'd share several of the ones I have laying around. Because, you know--they make me happy. And they're pretty.

All of these books are in varying stages of outlined/written/completion. I don't know when they're going to come out--they are NOT all going to come out this year is all I can tell you. :) Some of them are under my name, Sarah Diemer--that means they're going to be YA. Some of them are under me as Elora Bishop--those will be adult books. And yes, these are only some of my covers. I'm keeping several a secret for now. <3

Let's start with my favorite, shall we? I can definitely tell you this is coming out this year. And it's going to be fucking EPIC. <3








This one is super tiny because I can't find the larger image. :/ This is one I'm like--spasmodically excited about:




This is the sequel to CAGE THE DARLINGS:
















Note: Some of them still have watermarks on them, some don't. The ones with no watermarks are the actual, cemented covers, and those books are further along in progress. The ones with watermarks means I haven't purchased the original stock photo yet, so the book isn't as far along. :) <3
