Drum roll, please!

Wait.

Actually, we aren’t ready for that.

Let’s back up.

Last week I asked my readers to vote on their favorite book cover design for my soon-to-be-released book, Champion Chocolatier: Destiny by Design, the fourth in the series. And, boy oh boy, did people have opinions. SUPER HELPFUL opinions! Opinions that I gratefully hoarded and then analyzed. Afterward, I went back to Canva and, using some of the feedback I received, made some tweaks to the most popular selection. I moved the location of the title and adjusted the color of the banners and putzed around with the location of some of the images. They weren’t massive changes by any means, but the collection of the changes made an impact… at least I think they did.

So before I reveal this, the newest cover of my newest book, I want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, for investing in my final product with your time and for caring about the content I create! Without you, there would be very little purpose to writing these stories. For your readership, I am eternally grateful.

Alright. I’m ready. Are you?

Now we need the drumroll.

Bdbdbdbdbdbdbbdbdbdbdbdbbdd…

Ta-Da!

What do you think?!?!?!

Here’s the what the back says:

Emmy Edwards is a magnet for competition. If there is a contest within reach, she’s going to find it and enter! Whether it’s winning a chocolate shop, a reality TV competition or the heart of the cute guy who owns the store next door, Emmy wants a piece of the action.

She’s promised her new husband, Eddie, that the Golden Honeymoon Giveaway would be her last competition, but keeping that promise turns out to be harder than she thought. When their new business venture, renovating a vacant waterfront warehouse into a boutique hotel, has an opportunity to compete in an interior design challenge, Emmy finds herself back in the contest ring.

In this fourth installment of the Champion Chocolatier series, readers will find everything they’ve come to expect of author Amanda Zieba: a light hearted read about an idyllic contest, imaginative competition challenges, and larger than life contestant personalities. From coast to coast and pillar to post, Destiny by Design will give readers a front row seat to Emmy’s latest competitive adventure including all the delicious twists and devine turns.

So when can you get your hands on this beauty?

This book will be available on Amazon any day now… so check there, or keep your eyes peeled for a social media announcement. I know it seems strange not to have a specific release date… but in the world of self publishing, exact dates are a bit of an enigma. I’ll also be having a launch party, no, launch experience, some time in mid-December, so again, stay tuned. My afternoon is booked with planning meetings for the event and I’m convinced that this launch will be my best yet. Trust me when I say you will WANT to be there (whether you already bought your copy on Amazon or are waiting to get it in person!).

Finally, affiliate marketing is promoting a product or service in return for a commission. When you purchase a product or service through one of my links, I earn a small part of the sale. There is NEVER any extra cost to you. If you looked up the same product on the same site through another source besides my website, the price will still be exactly the same. 100% of the time.

I also NEVER link to products or services that I don't 100% believe in. I will never tout a company or their goods if they are disreputable or if I don't believe them to be worthy of your hard-earned money. In no way are my affiliate links a scam.
