Cover reveal for The Mistletoe Connection!

Hello! Today I have an exciting surprise for you: the official cover for my debut novel, The Mistletoe Connection! I worked with Kyle DeMarco to design it, and he knocked it out of the park. You can see his other work here. I had this vague idea of an illustrated cover with some scripty font, and he took that and made it AMAZING. The Mistletoe Connection is told through multiple points of view and storylines (think Love Actually), and he was able to capture all those threads in the cover perfectly. I’ll have a post in a few weeks talking more about the actual process of working with a cover designer, but it’s time for the cover!

Drum roll please…

Eeep! I’m in love. It was so fun to send my character descriptions to Kyle, and then see them come to life on the cover. The Mistletoe Connection comes out on November 10. I’m still working on getting all the preorder links up, so you can access the booksellers currently stocking it here. And you can read the full summary below!

On Christmas Eve, a mix of strangers at the Denver airport is trying to make it home in time for Christmas when a snowstorm sweeps through, grounding all flights. Stuck in the airport together, they help each other discover the magic of in-between places.

Six intertwined stories unfold in the airport as the clock ticks closer to midnight: Landry runs into her ex-girlfriend Resa, and the two women hit it off like nothing ever happened—until things start to get serious. Unaccompanied minor June convinces Adrian to pose as her boyfriend for social media that evening, but what happens when she wants to stop pretending? Charles is struggling during the first holiday season since his wife’s death, and the resulting tension with his daughter only makes the night more difficult. Wes and Keely had hoped to forget about their fight during the holidays, but being stranded at the airport  brings emotions to a boiling point. Airport employees Trevor and Kat have been best friends since middle school, but can Trevor work up the courage to tell Kat he wants to be more than that? Through it all, heartbroken Mariel is determined to end the worst year of her life on a good note, and ropes everyone into her scheme to make it happen.
