Are you ready? Here is the cover for Raspberries and Vinegar, digitally created by Hanna Sandvig. If you’re thinking her style looks familiar, it might be because she created this blog’s header as well as the one at To Write a Story.
With no further ado. . .Ta Da!
Aren’t Jo and Zach adorable??? And Domino, a 4 month old trouble-making Border collie with boundless energy. So perfect.
The novel releases in just six and a half weeks!!! The past month has been a bit of a whirlwind. I’ve been through the manuscript twice—before and after my publisher had a round with it—and sent it to the editor yesterday. I’ll get another peek at it in a couple of weeks, then it’s off to galleys and, from there, a printed book.
Zoooooooom.
The second novel, Sweetened with Honey, is off to two critiquers. It, too, should be back around the end of June.
Don’t worry, I have a lot to do while both manuscripts are out of my hands. Not only am I planning out the third book, but I have about 28 blog posts and interviews to write for various sites in August and I’m open to more. If you’d like to host me to talk about Farm Lit, Farm Fresh Romance, or Raspberries and Vinegar, leave a note in comments and I’ll get back to you (I can see your email address, so you don’t need to write it out.)
Would you all like a post about the process of creating this cover? I’m pretty sure one can be arranged… 😀
Psst. If you were on my newsletter list, you’d have seen this cover a few days ago! Sign up?
Cute cover. I love the title: Rasperries and Vinegar!
I love that cover! Makes me want to read the book! Not that one should judge a book by it’s cover, but that one definitely makes me want to read. And I don’t even like romance novels!
A good cover goes a long way! And this is a “farm fresh” romance, Sarah, so you might like it 🙂
What a fun cover! Best wishes for your new release.
as soon as I saw it I knew who the artist was. Congrats to both of you, talk about a good team.
Thank you, Donna! I think so, too 😀
Awesome! I am so proud of you and Hanna…what a team! 😀
congrats!!! 🙂
I’m very, very excited for you 🙂

LOVE the cover and the title. Very enticing!
Looks like such fun, Valerie! All the best to you.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I’m so happy with the title and cover design! Well done ladies! That was a lot of hours put into making it just perfect.
Cute cover, Valerie. Valerie is doing an interview in August on my Write and read with Dale blog and I am looking forward to finding out more about her book.
Love it. Had to say it again. And love your daughter’s talent.
It’s a wonderful cover, Valerie! I’ll e-mail you Wednesday. 🙂
I love the cover- so fresh and fun!
So happy that so many of you seem to love this cover as much as I do. Thank you!!
Love the cover, Valerie, and like Autumn says, it’s fresh — which works with the farm-fresh, farm lit theme.
Love your title and cover, Valerie~ 🙂
Love it, Valerie!
Thank you! I think it fits really well, too. 🙂
I adore it! Makes me want a copy—SOON! 🙂
WooHoo! Then it is doing its job 🙂
