Thanks to you, Secret Sky has won BEST SCI-FI/FANTASY COVER FOR 2018 with 68% of the votes! I’m not sure it’s sunk in yet. 68%!!! Excuse me while I repeat: “We did it!”

Congratulations to the designers at JD&J Book Cover Design. Secret Sky‘s cover now advances to the final round and goes up against the winners in four other categories for best overall cover for 2018.

I could sure use your help!

Two posts in one day is unusual, I know, but it’s crunch time and I could sure use your help, so I hope you don’t mind.

Ebook cover for Secret SkyKobo selected Secret Sky as one of the top ten book covers for 2018 in their Sci-Fi/Fantasy category. You can imagine how excited I was to hear the news. This is a huge deal and has the potential to raise the visibility of the book, which is always a challenge.

The winner is chosen by popular vote, and voting is now underway. Secret Sky‘s cover was in the lead for a while, but has slipped behind. I could use your help to push it back out in front.

Voting is quick and easy. Click here to go to Kobo’s website,  scroll to the bottom and click on the cover for Secret Sky. The current tally will be revealed after you’ve voted. Voting closes at 11:59 EST on Thursday (That’s 9pm on the West Coast), so we don’t have a lot of time. Let’s do this!

I’d be grateful if you’d help spread the word. Share this post with friends, family, distant relatives, winged and furry friends. If they’ve got a phone, an iPad, a laptop or computer, they can cast a vote! Thanks so much. (And thanks to everyone who’s already voted.)
