IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHEESE WHEEL

Today is sparkly and shiny and awesome! Why? Because I finally get to share the cover of my debut novel, CHEESUS WAS HERE, with you! And, if you head on over to YA Books Central, you can enter for a chance to win a signed ARC and some gouda cheese wedge jewelry I made especially for the cover reveal. I’ve been dying to share the cover since I first saw initial comps and through every step of the process. The design team at Sky Pony Press worked so hard and they’ve done an amazing job. I couldn’t be more in love with this fabulous cover. Without further ado, here it is:

Isn’t it perfect? I can’t help smiling every time I see it. It’s a bit cheeky, much like the book and very much like me. In just a few short months CHEESUS will be out in the world! Eeeee!

So what’s this book with the ridiculous title all about? I’m so glad you asked! Here’s the official description:

Sixteen-year-old Delaney Delgado knows miracles aren’t real—if they were, her kid sister wouldn’t be dead. So when the image of baby Jesus appears on a Babybel cheese wheel, she’s not buying the idea that God’s got a dairy obsession. Soon, religious signs begin turning up all over Del’s hometown, tiny Clemency, Texas. Overnight, news vans fill the streets and religious pilgrims start searching for God in the discount aisle of the grocery store.

Hell-bent on proving the so-called miracles are fake, Del convinces her best friend, Gabe, to help her find the truth. While Gabe’s willing to play detective, as a preacher’s son he’s more interested in finding evidence that supports the miracles. But when the whole town becomes caught up in religious fervor and even the late night talk show hosts have stopped laughing and started to believe, finding the truth might cause more trouble than Del can handle. This novel is neither pro nor anti-religion, and will appeal to fans of contemporary YA novels that explore deep themes with an element of humor. The voice and characters are funny, strong, and full of heart. This is a book for anyone who loved Saved!
