Another June weekday, another cover. One more to go after this one! You can check it out over at Presenting Lenore. I know I’ve said this about, um, all of them, but this one really IS one of my favorites. If I had to pick favorites. Which I honestly cannot. It’s like picking my favorite dog: impossible! Always enough love to go around.
Speaking of love, thanks to EVERYONE for the kind birthday wishes! It’s crazy that I am 42. I am having a GREAT day, most of it spent with my girl. I watched her have her last swim lesson this morning (and choked up, again, at sight of her swimming alone, oh, my goodness) then we went and had a girls-only pizza date for lunch. Plus, it was raining and cool this morning, and now the sun is out, and the sky all blue. Win!
Okay, thanks to my new watch—I went back to Fossil, which had never let me down, unlike the Citizen I bought only a year ago—I know it’s time to get back to work. Revisions, sadly, do not take birthdays off. So neither do I.

That is one beautiful cover!! Love it! The colors just POP!
I love all these new covers! The key on this one is gorgeous, would love to have that on a necklace. Happy Birthday, Sarah! Sounds like you’re having a great one.
Happy birthday Sarah! Sounds like you’ve had a nice day so far.
I agree about Fossil watches. Love them!
Happy birthday Sarah, hope the rest of it is wonderful! The new covers are beautiful!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!!!!! hope you have a great day!! <3 <3 <3 Loving the new covers they're amazing!
Happy Birthday Sarah! Love the old covers but these are rejuvenating!! And I love my Fossil watches, too!
I’ve already wished you this on your facebook page, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sounds like you’re having an awesome day so far
. Nothing beats spending a birthday then with the people you love most, family. I love the new cover for Lock and Key. The fushia nail polish is perfect for summer. Do you know what nail polish it is?
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day. Since it is your birthday and you deserve some nice words I thought I’d just mention some of my own: I love your books and I have for a while and I know I will continue to enjoy them for not only making me both think but also take a breath, not think and just enjoy. You are a wonderful writer and seem like a wonderful person, enjoy your day
Happy Birthday again!
I’m one of those girls you made VERY happy, even though it your birthday and we should be making you happy.
I’m really, really grateful, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop being. I might bug you a lot, because I say Thank You very much. Sometimes people bug me about it.
So, I’m glad you had an excellent birthday week and an amazing day.
Thank you, again!
The cover is just gorgeous. Really.
Take care!
Happy birthday again, and the best of the best of wishes!

This one, I enjoy! a lot….I still really like the other cover though.
Why is the key so big?
this isn’t ruby. ruby would NEVER wear nail polish. she wouldn’t just hold out the key,she always kept it under her shirt,she kept her life a secret,she didn’t just go up to people and say ”hey did you know my mom left me at home alone for WEEKS,Huh did ya know that”. This cover is just,eww. I’m defiantly keeping my old one.
happy b day sarah!! and 42 is so young!! and i also love the cover for lock and key on how it focuses on just the key with the girl in the background. I cant wait to see it in stores.
I’m late but Happy Birthday Sarah!!!!!
happy late 42 birthday Sarah! this new cover 4 lock and key looks cool. that’s all i can say
These covers are great!
Happy Birthday Sarah!!! I gotta say, the new covers are pretty, but I like the old ones too.:)
