Can you picture the editor now, reading the story, thinking, "Well, yes, it's compelling and I can't stop turning pages, but the margins . . .the MARGINS! F!" (I keep picturing Ralphie's teacher in the movie, A Christmas Story.) LOL And I'm extremely glad you like the cover! I grin every time I see it. :-) Sarah~ That's such a kind thing to say! Thank-you. I recall early on, thinking, "Umm, I can see where this matters from a let-me-treat-this-like-a-professional perspective, but not from a hmm-how-shall-I-spend-my-three-hours-this-afternoon? perspective. I think we do the best promo when we write great stories. :-) Sarah & Helen,

Margins that are half a centimeter off won't deter an editor or agent from a great story that's well written. Love your new cover, too! You’re so right, Kris.
