Hello pretty little ARC

CANDOR ARC
I have my ARC! Just one, for now, but that's enough to relish, to wave about gleefully, to make it all so very REAL.

NOTE that this is not the final cover--which is common in ARCs. Although the spray-paint font DOES relate to an important element in the book. As soon as I've got the final cover (and my publisher's OK!) I'll be happily unveiling it on this blog.

For the uninitiated, ARC stands for Advance Reader Copy. They are not the final text, but are close enough for the publisher to distribute ARCs to reviewers, librarians and booksellers. Using ARCs gets the book out there much earlier than waiting for final hardbound copies.

Excuse me while I go cradle my pretty little baby and coo to it.
