Precise Cover Reveal!

I was luckily enough that Rebecca Berto of Novel Girl would let me in on this amazing event! I get to reveal to all of you the cover of her soon to be published novelette Precise! This is her first published novella and the prequel to a full length novel she will be releasing later called Pulling Me Under.

Let’s take a look at the synopsis:

Katie Anselin is a newlywed and hubby, Paul, is her life. He’s the only one who knows her family’s history and makes her finally feel happy—until the day she discovers she’s fallen pregnant.

See, before Katie had her first best friend, she’d been taught by her mom that she killed her siblings—that she was the cause of mother Rochelle’s miscarriages. Katie has grown up thinking she shouldn’t be happy when she’s caused her mom so much pain.

Still, Katie can’t imagine killing the beautiful life inside her, which occurs at the same time Rochelle starts skipping her medication. Hell hath no fury like Rochelle with a vengeance to make Katie pay for ruining her life.

In Rochelle’s quest for power, Katie and Paul’s baby is the pawn.

I can’t wait to get my hands on this and read it. The cover for Precise was created by Silviya Yordanova as “Morteque” with Rebecca’s input. You can find Silviya through her Deviant Art page or her Facebook Page. I had a look through some of her work and it’s just amazing. I can see why Rebecca chose her as a cover artist.

Many of you will know Rebecca through her blog Novel Girl or on Twitter. She is very active within the writing community and has many followers. Rebecca Berto writes stories that straddle the line between Literary and Tear Your Heart Out (invented the genre herself). Her average reading session lasts for hours—somehow always after ten pm. She’s strangely imaginative, spends too much time on her computer, and is certifiably crazy when she works on her fiction. Rebecca Berto lives in Melbourne, Australia with her partner and their doggy.

Now I know your all reading this and thinking ‘Quill, just reveal the cover already!’ and I shall very soon but first I want to share with you how Rebecca and Silviya came up with the idea for the cover.

“I told Silviya that I wanted a woman reflecting on something that would show a connection to a child. I came up with a drawing that unfortunately looked something like a five-year-old drew, but she suggested great ideas. The broken glass and the “blue” look to the image is all her.

I wanted to show how the title, Precise fit into this cover too. So to show this I asked Silviya to have Precise cracked.

The result is literally a picture that tells a story. It shows the broken, emotional kind of story this book is about. I sort of stare at it all day long.” – Rebecca Berto

Okay, time for the part you’ve been waiting for… the cover for Precise!
