Cover Reveal: Drowning Sandy by Sarah Daley

It's a totally trippy thing to write a blog post about my own book, and yet... 
Here I am!!! 
I'm so excited, and terrified, and nervous, and shocked that all of this is happening! 
Thank you all for joining me on this crazy ride!

Originally, Drowning Sandy was published as book 3 in Summer Hearts, May 20th, 2015 but now, for the first time ever, it is being released on it's own!!! 
Coming to you July 6th, Author Sarah Daley's debut novella, available in paperback and e-book!

Interested in grabbing a copy of Summer Hearts? 

Here is the Amazon link: https://amzn.com/B00XFTTN4M




First, let me tell you a bit about myself. (EEEK! That sounds so weird!)

I live in Arizona with my best friend and husband, Chris, our adorable monster child, and neurotic dog, Buddy.

At the age of six, I became a reading machine. Devouring everything I could possibly get my hands on. In high school I almost failed English three times because of my detest for writing book reports. Today, I write whatever stories haunt my dreams, and struggles to focus on one idea at a time. Honestly, I get these crazy dreams that pretty much take over my brain until I write them down, and store them in a folder I've titled "Novel Idea". When I'm not enjoying time with my family, or writing, you will find my nose stuck in a book, or out walking and enjoying the sunshine with my boys.




Now, for what Drowning Sandy is all about:

The water is calling...
and Sandy can no longer resist the urge to unleash her mermaid form. But a simple swim in Lake Ontario ends when she discovers the truth of her own banishment. When long time crush, Alardo, seems to shift in a direction she never dreamed possible, Sandy must make a choice — mermaid or human? Once she chooses, she can never go back.

Are you ready for this?
