Check out the blurb she gave me for Unbeweavable.

Katrina Spencer has a hit! Beautifully written, Unbeweavable was impossible to put down. Light and funny, yet poignant and touching–a very creative novel. Mrs.. Spencer is an author to look out for.”

I’m bursting with happiness. This is the first person who has read Unbeweavable outside of my family. Victoria’s praise validates what I do, and helps me believe my Mama when she says, “Your book is good, baby!”

In other news, I wanted to share the book cover with you guys.

UNBEWEAVABLE - concept 7

I’m thrilled with the book cover, and I think it will show my readers that Unbeweavable is more than just hair. What do you guys think?

Yep, the asking (begging) of fellow authors to read Unbeweavable and give it a blurb. This is a busy time of year for a lot of people, and the fact that people have taken the time out of their busy schedules to read my novel sends me to the moon.

It’s hard to approach virtual strangers and ask them to say something nice about my book. I don’t have a lot of contacts in the writing world, so e-mailing someone and asking them for a favor sort of feels like asking a guy out on a date. A guy that you’ve had a huge crush on for years. A guy that you know most certainly will say no.

But surprisingly, my fellow writers have not let me down. And now I feel like a child peeking into the oven door waiting to get some kind of delicious treat that Mama made.

“Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet?” I want to ask. The time flies by and I know I’ll have to wait another day, until I know what they think.

Until then, I’ll just wait.

And wait.

And wait some more.

“Now, is it ready?”
